Today we’d like to introduce you to Samm Murphy.
Samm, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
In college, I realized I wanted to help others avoid some of the struggles I had experienced. I started to reflect on my personal journey and what would have made the biggest differences for me. What would have spared me pain and allowed me to feel more joy? I began to wonder how could I share and use my experience to help others move through things faster and with more ease. I also had always been fascinated with human potential and the possibility for what we are capable to move, change and achieve. This curiosity and desire birthed what I am doing today (coaching). Although, it didn’t start until many years after college.
Once my son was born in 2015, it forced me to stop and examine my life and the direction it was going. I realized I had spent a lot of my life living in fear. Having moments of wild bravery and boldness then retreating back to not even try something for the fear of failure and fear of what others would think. I let fear obligation and guilt run the show for a long time and this new chapter was going to be different. I didn’t want to waste any more time waiting for “someday’ to get started.
I was going to set an example for my son that anything you want to do is possible and fear will not be something we let govern our lives! So I finally stopped thinking about eventually “one day” doing it and took the leap to get started! I want my son and others to know you don’t have to let fear keep you stuck. You can create a life you love and I am here to help equip them with the tools to do so! I want to help people avoid the mistakes I have made and start taking steps towards that life, not someday but TODAY-NOW!
I am in the business of helping people get what they want; romantically, financially, professionally, you name it. I work with individuals and together we get clear on where they want to be, identify what’s holding them back/ causing them pain/robbing them of joy, then figure out how to remove it and strategize how to move forward to have the life they imagined!
It lights me up empowering individuals to remember how amazing and capable they are! To remind them that anything is possible and they can have exactly what they want and that NOW is the time to get started! I LOVE what I do! It’s insanely rewarding to witness the progress people can make when they chose to do so!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Prior to running my personal development business, I ran an orthopedic medical distributorship and I underestimated how different it would be selling a product versus myself and my services.
I hadn’t anticipated the fear and self-doubt that would set in when my abilities were the product at hand. I worried what others would think – would they think I was crazy for leaving the medical field because I had been so successful there? Would I be good enough? Could I deliver all that I wanted to my clients… and the list went on.
I had to work to not only launch the biz but also to overcome the self-doubt that was slowing me down and holding me back.
Please tell us about Samm Murphy Success Coaching.
I’m a success coach. I help people get what they want; whether that’s in life, business, romantically, professionally or another arena. I help people identify and remove the things that are making them feel stuck and blocking them from experiencing the joy they deserve.
This then allows them space and the ability to start creating the life and experience they have been dreaming of. We then strategize what needs to happen for them to get there and how to set this in motion! I do this coaching process in a one on one or group setting with clients, depending on what best fits the needs of the client. I also run workshops and events around the country.
I’m most proud of my clients, the bold action I see them take, the vulnerability they show and the opportunity that I was able to assist them in making these incredible changes in their lives.
What sets me apart is the level of dedication and enthusiasm I bring to each and every client. Also, the specific life experience I have that allows me to not only relate to my clients but show them shortcuts and strategies on how to move through things more quickly, with more ease and grace.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I would worry less… about everything but specifically what others thought.
