The Coaching Equation
Being an extraordinary coach doesn’t make you a profitable one and no matter how hard you wish, the client fairy isn’t coming to drop clients in your lap. Building, growing, and scaling a coaching business isn’t about the shiny object marketing tactic, the slick sales script, or a two hour morning routine. It’s about learning and applying tried and true business strategies that are the foundation of the most successful entrepreneurs and businesses on the planet.
