I truly believe we have the best profession in the world – changing lives and being paid for it. As noble as what we do is though, unless we run it like a business (and become pros), we're just nice people who like to help others, struggling to make ends meet.
Many coaching schools sell the illusion that as soon as you get certified (with them, of course), you then build your website and charge £100 per hour straight away, nice and easy. Except that it doesn't work like that.
Most successful coaches I know (myself included) are not even certified. Coaching is the easy part you see. In theory, anyone can become a coach. It's thebusinessof coaching that is more complex, and understanding the business side is what makes a difference between making it or not making it in coaching.
And that's where my courseand I come in.
I know I'm a great coach. Some of my clients would tell you that I'm the best. But that's not why my business grew to earning six figures annually (over 100k turnover over a 12 month period), only two and a half years after I built my website and made £547k in 2021alone. It happened because I love and understand business almost as much as I love helping people. And because I do, I can help MORE people.
Every successful business is one which has mastered the art of MARKETING and SELLING, and the really successful ones have also mastered the art of BRANDING.
These are the three fundamental areas I cover in this course. No matter how gifted you are as a coach, without mastering them, you have ZERO chance of succeeding in a big way. Does it sound harsh? Maybe. It's also true.
Make no mistake, just watching the videos won't make you successful. However, implementing what I'm going to teach you will make you as successful as you want to be. After all, if you do what I did, you will get what I got. It's as simple as that.
The course is PACKED with all the best stuff I've learnt in nearly a decade of being in a game. And since I approached this journey like a mad scientist, I've learnt A LOT which allows me to work with people I love, who are happy to invest a lot of money because they believe I can help.
Some of the things covered in the courseinclude:
Why you absolutely HAVE TO think about yourself as, and act like, abusiness person -not just a coach. Being a good coach does maybe 20% of the job. The remaining 80% is understanding thebusinessof coaching.
Selling, selling, selling. Thekey elementof any business. As long as you see selling as something 'dirty', you're setting yourself up for failure.
