    Unpopular Realities About What it REALLY Takes to Scale to 6 Figures + Beyond Oct 22, 2024
    Show notes

    In Episode 137 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we get real about the unglamorous truths of scaling an online coaching business to six figures and beyond. First off, if you think you’re going to hit massive revenue goals without investing time and money, think again. I know, you don’t want to hear it, but scaling means continuous investment in your business—whether that’s hiring a team, bringing on a business coach, or leveling up your strategy. Trust me, I’ve been there, thinking I could "bootstrap" my way to success, but it’s not a sustainable path.

    Next, let’s talk about the work you don’t feel like doing. I get it—some tasks feel hard, boring, or uncomfortable. But guess what? Every successful entrepreneur has had to show up on days they didn’t feel like it. You’re not always going to be in "flow," and the hustle is real sometimes. If you’re waiting to only do things when they feel perfectly aligned, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Successful business owners? They get it done, aligned or not.

    And here’s another tough pill to swallow: Scaling means stepping into discomfort, dealing with rejection, and facing failure head-on. You can’t avoid it. If you’re not willing to take risks, you’re not going to grow. So, it’s time to build that threshold for failure—because that’s where the real growth happens. You’ve got to start thinking like a CEO, not just a coach, and make decisions that are going to move you forward, even when it’s scary.

    If you’re serious about growing your business, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with the mindset shifts and strategies you need to break through the income ceiling that’s been holding you back. And hey, if you're feeling stuck, you know where to find me. Let’s scale that business together.


    In this episode, I cover:

    - Sharing my transition from fitness coaching to business mentoring.

    - My mission: Helping women build successful businesses while maintaining a fulfilling life.

While I’m all about organic marketing, I recognize that ads can play a significant role—if used at the right time and in the right way. Ads aren’t a quick fix for poor sales or marketing. Instead, they’re designed to get more eyes on an offer that’s already working, not to magically solve deeper issues in your business.

    Overcoming Overwhelm + Burnout in Online Business Oct 08, 2024
    Show notes

    In Episode 135 of the "Best Coach Ever" podcast, we tackle the all-too-familiar struggle of burnout and overwhelm in the world of online coaching. First off, let’s be real—running a coaching business can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. Whether it’s creating content, juggling multiple roles, or making endless decisions, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. I’ve been there, and I know so many of you have too.


    Next, let’s talk about that “100 miles per hour” pace some of you are stuck in. Sure, working hard feels good when you're motivated, but if you burn out and drop off the radar for weeks, you're sabotaging your own success. Consistency is key, and building a manageable work routine is non-negotiable if you want to avoid the crash-and-burn cycle.


    And while we're at it, can we stop with the decision paralysis? Perfection isn’t the goal here—B-minus decisions will move your business forward faster than overthinking ever will. Plus, boundaries around your work hours and clients? Total game-changer. You need time to recharge, not respond to messages 24/7.


    Despite the pressures, you can run a successful business without sacrificing your well-being. So, let’s practice some self-compassion, take those breaks, and remember, it’s okay to slow down. If you’re feeling stuck in the burnout loop, you know where to find me. Let’s keep moving forward, but at a pace that lets you enjoy the ride.


    In this episode, I cover:


    1. Introduction and Topic Overview [0:00 - 3:14]

    - Introduction to the topic of burnout and overwhelm.

    - Personal reflections on my struggles with burnout.


    1. The Reality of Burnout in Coaching [3:15 - 5:59]

    - Explaining how coaching, content creation, and decision-making can lead to exhaustion.

    - Validating the difficulties of running a business and how it's common to experience burnout.


    1. The "100 Miles Per Hour" Trap [6:00 - 8:59]

    - The pattern of going all-in until burnout, followed by a period of inaction.

    - The importance of pacing and creating consistent work habits to avoid this cycle.


    1. Managing Time Effectively [9:00 - 11:59]

    - Encouragement to use Google Calendar or digital tools to manage time.

    - Building boundaries around work hours to protect mental health.


    1. Setting Work Boundaries [12:00 - 18:29]

    - Why it's important to establish a routine with specific work hours.

    - Sharing my own boundaries: working from Sunday to Thursday and clocking out by 5-6 p.m.


    1. Overcoming Decision Fatigue [18:30 - 22:59]

    - Decision fatigue is a common cause of burnout.

    - Tips for reducing fatigue, including getting help from a coach and being okay with “B-minus” decisions.


    1. Practicing Self-Care [23:00 - 33:09]

    - The need for regular exercise, sleep, and mental health practices.

    Should You Start Out Offering Free Coaching To Build Your Online Coaching Business? Sep 24, 2024
    Show notes

    In Episode 134 of the "Best Coach Ever" podcast, we tackle a question I get all the time: should you offer free coaching when you’re just starting out? Spoiler alert—it sounds like a good idea, but it’s usually a bad move. First off, let’s be real—people don’t value what they don’t pay for. You might think offering free coaching will build your confidence or get you testimonials, but chances are, your clients won’t take it seriously, and you’ll end up frustrated with little to show for it.

    Now, instead of giving away your time and energy for free, what if you launched a beta version of your program at a deep discount? Not only do you get people invested, but you also ensure they’ll actually show up and do the work. Offering a shortened, cheaper version of your coaching still gives you feedback and testimonials but with much better results.

    And while we're at it, let's ditch the idea that free is the only way to build your business. There’s a huge difference between someone getting something for free and someone who’s paid even a little—they’ll be more committed, and so will you. So, if you’ve been stuck in the free coaching trap, it’s time to level up and start making money faster. Ready to take the leap? You know where to find me. Let’s go!


    In this episode, I cover:


    1. The Problem with Free Coaching [0:00 - 4:14]

    - Free coaching often leads to clients who don't follow through.

    - Clients need to have "skin in the game" to take the coaching seriously.


    1. Why Free Coaching Often Fails [4:15 - 7:25]

    - People tend not to value what they don’t pay for, leading to poor engagement.

    - Offering free coaching can waste your time and energy without benefiting either party.


    1. The Value of Paid Coaching [7:26 - 8:59]

    - Paid coaching ensures clients are more invested and willing to push through discomfort.

    - For me, making a big investment in my business coaching helped me commit to difficult tasks.


    1. Creating a Beta Launch Instead [9:00 - 11:59]

    - Suggests offering a discounted beta launch rather than free coaching.

    - Recommends shortening the program and offering it at a competitive price to attract early clients.


    1. Risks of Sticking to Free Coaching [12:00 - 12:44]

    - Coaches who continue offering free coaching often stay stuck in the same place.

    - Paid clients give better feedback, stick to the program, and provide testimonials.


    1. Conclusion and Program Promotion [12:45 - End]

    - Invitation to join my Fitness Coaching Business Accelerator (FCBA) program.

    - Promises to teach niching, content strategy, marketing, and sales techniques to grow a coaching business successfully.

    How To Double Your Client Roster In the Last 4 Months of 2024 (+ Build Momentum for Next Year!) Sep 17, 2024
    Show notes

    In Episode 133 of the "Best Coach Ever" podcast, we dive into why September is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your coaching business. First off, let’s talk about why I call September the “second New Year.” If you’ve noticed a slump in sales during the summer, you’re not alone, but now’s the time to snap out of it—buyer behavior shifts, routines are back, and people are ready to refocus on their goals. This is your chance to capitalize.


    Next, let’s get real about the importance of niching down. If you’re still trying to serve everyone, you’re serving no one. Ultra-niche is the name of the game—get specific about who you help and how, or you’ll get lost in the crowd. And while we’re on the subject, your content strategy better be on point. Posting randomly or copying others won’t cut it. Consistency and intentionality are the keys to building an engaged audience that’s ready to buy.


    Finally, if you don’t have a strong coaching offer, now’s the time to refine it. A good program doesn’t just have features—it gets results. And don’t forget, selling isn’t about being pushy; it’s about clearly communicating why your offer is the perfect fit. So, take this time of year seriously, dial in your focus, and build momentum for an even bigger 2024. And if you’re ready to level up, you know where to find me. Let’s make it happen.


    In this episode, I cover:


    1. September: The Second New Year [0:00 - 5:29]

    - Why September marks a fresh start for many.

    - Highlights how buyer behavior shifts during this time for fitness coaches.


    1. Leveraging Seasonal Momentum for Sales [5:30 - 10:14]

    - September to December can outperform January to April in sales for many coaches.

    - Coaches should use this period to gain new clients and build strong momentum for the following year.


    1. Start Now to Win in January [10:15 - 12:45]

    - Coaches who wait until January to ramp up miss key opportunities.

    - The work done in the fall sets the stage for success in the new year.


    1. Importance of Niching Down [12:45 - 16:54]

    - Emphasizes the value of being ultra-niched to attract the right clients.

    - Coaches who focus too broadly lose out on building expertise and attracting ideal clients.


    1. Content Strategy and Consistency [16:55 - 20:34]

    - The need for a strong content strategy to engage the right audience.

    - Consistent posting helps build trust, engagement, and leads for coaches.


    1. Crafting a Strong Coaching Offer [20:35 - 25:44]

    - A good coaching offer is more than a list of features—it should guide clients toward specific results.

    - Programs that get results naturally generate stronger testimonials and client satisfaction.


    1. Marketing and Selling with Confidence [25:45 - 27:58]

    - Marketing isn’t manipulation; it’s about clearly communicating the value of your program.

    - Confident marketing and sales skills are crucial to converting interested clients.


    1. Conclusion and Upcoming Challenge [27:59 - End]

    - Announcing my upcoming three-day "Client's Cash and Confidence Challenge."

    - Listeners are encouraged to sign up for this free event, which will cover niching, content, and sales strategies.
