Meet Troy Rivera | Mindset Life Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Troy Rivera and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Troy, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I have been in education for 20 years. During this time, I was always told, “you know how to help me and always have the right thing to say at the right moment. You are a great mentor.” After hearing this from multiple people, it got me thinking about becoming a coach. After many years later, I decided to take the adventure and worked on getting my certification as a life coach. I focus on the mindset and confidence that affects all aspects of your life.

What should our readers know about your business?
Hmmmm! Becoming a coach was a great journey I took. I learned so much about myself and how I can share with others this journey. My highest love language is Acts of Service. Because of this love language and my career of being an educator for over 20 years, I am passionate about the work coaches do for others. I personally have my own coach, and the results I get through my sessions have changed my life. So, I made the decision to get certified in coaching and start my own business. I started my coaching business three years ago. The process was a bit challenging in considering what type of coach I wanted to be. I am passionate about the coaching work and I wanted to offer services to others that helped them achieve the best version of themselves. Now, this business is challenging because there are misunderstandings. I am not fixing a person because I believe we are not broken, but we just need guidance or support to achieve our dreams. I focus on the mindset because when you look at the root of all issues, the mindset plays a role in everything. My favorite saying is, “Mindset is EVERYTHING!”

Man, there have been many great lessons learned; however, the greatest lesson I have learned along the way is that it takes work and commitment. When you get a coach, you are held accountable to the work that needs to be done, and you have to do the work to see the results. Because I have my own coach, I live the experience and do the work. I learned that for things to change and happen, it is up to me to do it. The coach is a person who pushes me and holds me to my goals and offers great support throughout the process. This is what I do as well with those that I work with.

Yikes, tough question because I don’t want people to think I’m just like any other coach. What I would like the world to know about me is when you work with me, you will get results and I am fun, passionate, and inspiring. Also, through the work, you will be pushed to become the version you have always wanted to be. As a coach, I take the work seriously and I will walk beside you all the way. Having been through so much in my life, and if you want to know, let’s have coffee, coaching has made me a better person and I’ve learned so much on how to move forward and become the best version of me. Also, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am a coach for all and want the best version for everyone.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take my friend to Sedona, Arizona. There is something about this place that everyone has to experience. Sedona is a place where many amazing spiritual and healing people visit. There is so much to do here. We would do a weekend getaway. We would stay in a cabin. We would do some hiking and visit the shops in the area. We would just embrace the experience and have a great time.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are two major influences that have been a huge part into my success as a coach. The first is my husband, Cody. He has been the greatest support and cheerleader in my work. He always encourages me to take the risks and pushes me to be the best. He never doubts my crazy ideas and tells me daily, “Anything is possible, if you believe in it.” The second influence is my favorite book called Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. This book was recommended to my by a coach I was working with that fit perfectly into my life. This book spoke to me about things in life that I have control over and how I can become the person I want to me.
