The Debrief: A Resume & Career Coaching Business
We dive into our interview, highlighting the key takeaways, and provide actionable advice to help you advance in your business venture.
In partnership with
Welcome to The Debrief. This week we interviewed Kyle, who went from Fiverr resume side hustler to a tech career coach. If you didn’t catch it, feel free to check it out here before diving into this edition.
In this mid-week newsletter, we are going to investigate what we covered in our interview and breakdown the key takeaways and share some actionable advice for you to work on in your business venture.
Each debrief is designed to give you something to work on each week based off the advice given by our featured entrepreneur.
Let’s get into it!
Career Coaching
Key takeaways:
1. Start small and focus on building relationships.
Kyle emphasises that when starting out, it’s easy to become preoccupied with creating a website, social media presence, or other assets. Instead, focus on building relationships and selling your service directly. Small, consistent steps toward your goals often work better than overcomplicating things at the start.
2. Invest in support and mentorship early on.
Looking back, Kyle wishes he had found a community of fellow business owners and invested in coaching sooner. Surrounding yourself with others who can offer guidance, motivation, and practical advice can make your journey far less isolating and help you avoid costly mistakes.
3. Success isn’t just financial—it’s about impact and fulfilment.
While Kyle’s early goal was simply to pay for his coffee habit, his definition of success evolved as his business grew. Now, he measures success by his clients’ achievements and whether his work makes a lasting, positive impact on the world. This perspective highlights the importance of aligning your business with your personal values.
