Keep It Simple: The Secret To Building Your Online Coaching Business
--
Alright, alright, alright⊠I admit it. There is no âsecretâ to building an online coaching business. However, there are costly mistakes that are totally avoidable. These make building your business and getting more clients much easier. And as someone whoâs spent years not only building my own coaching business and going on to sell well over a million dollars of coaching. While working with over 300 coaches to build their dream business⊠Iâve made more mistakes than I can count on 12 hands.

- Committed to mastering just a few marketing strategies instead of trying anything and everything that was recommended to me.
- Simplified other aspects of my life right down to my wardrobe. Although that may sound extreme, I found that the fewer choices I had to make during my day, the more mental power I had to make the big decisions in my life and business.
My point is simply this: When I committed to simplifying things down to their most basic components, I not only started seeing amazing results in my life and business (hello $80,000âŠ
