She helps people write the story they need to tell so their readers can feel seen and can see others. Dani’s business has blown up a bit since she was last on the show in late 2021.

Welcome to Coaches on a Mission and thank you so much for tuning in. We spend a lot of time on this show diving into strategy. And while some mindset work sneaks in here and there, it’s not a major focus of this show. Yet, a self supportive mindset is crucial as you build your business. Putting yourself out there every day, pouring so much care and time into serving your clients, and taking on the risks that come with business building are really big deals. So, today’s episode will dive deeper i...

That’s the best way to show your support because it helps us get this podcast in front of more people. My guest today is Sophee Payne who just might love coaching as much as I do.

Hey folks. Dallas Travers here. Thank you for tuning into ‘coaches on a mission. We’ve got another podcast takeover happening this week and I cannot wait for you to hear from these two extraordinary coaches. Last episode, two newer hive members took over and you really got to hear how the structure, training and community have helped them so deeply just over the past few months. This week, I invited two coaches who have worked with me for a few years so you can really get a sense of what’s possi...

Hey folks. Dallas Travers here. Welcome to the first ever podcast takeover episode. I invited two tremendous coaches and fabulous human beings to grab the mic and record an episode without me. Why would I do that… very good question… especially considering my controlling tendencies. But it’s for a good reason. TODAY is the first day you can register for a free workshop I’ll host next week. It’s called the Ripple Effect System and it's for Coaches Who Want a Simple Path to Find More Clients, Beco...

You're listening to Coaches on a Mission - I’m your host Dallas Travers and today, we need to have a real conversation about how you can avoid what Jona Xiao calls The Sea of Sameness.

Hey there. I’m Dallas Travers. Thanks for tuning in to coaches on a mission. I created this show to help you - a values driven coach build a business that makes a difference - for your clients, for you, and for the people you love in your life. One thing I say often is that you cannot build a business with free stuff you find on the internet. That includes this podcast - even though every episode is rich with insight and tangible actions… it’s not the same as following a structured, proven, valu...

My guest today is Corinne Gavlinksi and while this is the part of the intro where I would normally tell you who Corinne serves and how… I’m not going to because that’s the very thing she and I coached around during the episode. What I can tell you is that Corinne has years of experience as a corporate coach and she just needed some outside eyes on what, inside The Hive, we call your Dream Client Power Statement (DCPS), which is a succinct and super clear way to describe your dream clients and ho...

One thing I say often is that you cannot build a business with free stuff you find on the internet. That includes this podcast - even though every episode is rich with insight and tangible actions… it’s not the same as following a structured, proven, values-aligned path that leaves out all the guesswork. Which is why I’d love to invite you to apply to join The Hive. This is a year long mentorship program designed to give you the step by step tools and actions you need to really do this coaching ...

Welcome to Coaches on a Mission - The place to be for values driven coaches who want to build a business you’re truly proud of. Today, we’re going to talk about how to price your offers. “What should I charge?” is one of the most common questions coaches ask me. And if I’m being honest, I don’t see a lot of people bringing real intentionality to their pricing structure. Instead, they just charge what they see other coaches charging. Or they charge whatever number they can say without breaking in...

I have to confess that I came into recording this episode feeling really confident about the direction the conversation would take. And I was completely wrong. My guest is Amanda Meri who helps two very different groups of people. Inside her Gut Healing Academy, Amanda helps folks reverse their chronic illness by healing their guts. The second group Amanda serves doesn’t struggle with chronic illness. But they want to boost their energy and eat the food they love without gaining weight, getting ...

Hey all my life coaches, authenticity coaches, health coaches, confidence coaches, everybody out there who’s really good at listening to your client and offering up custom tools or insight that completely transforms their lives… this episode is for you. Because I’m willing to bet that you haven’t given much thought to your signature process because no two clients are the same and no two coaching sessions look alike. That's probably what you love so much about the work you do. Yet… those of us in...

My guest today is Jennie Nash who is the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator, a company that trains, certifies, and supports book coaches so they can help writers do their best work. I invited Jennie to the show for many reasons. First, she has really mastered the art of delivering as a coach and course creator. Her Author accelerator program truly is unmatched. We are lucky enough to have a little cohort of AA coaches inside The Hive and they all sing Jennie’s praises. So, I knew she was some...

Grab your tissues folks, because today’s episode is a bit of a tear jerker! I’m in a bit of a crying mood these days, so we’re rebroadcasting one of my all time favorite episodes. I am so impressed with Angela Vorpahl, today’s guest. She brought so much clarity and vulnerability to the episode, I know her struggle is something that most of us wrestle with. So, it was just an honor to coach her during this session. Angela helps law students get good...

I am so proud and excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. She’s Alli Ball, a course creator, coach, consultant and mentor who I have had the pleasure of talking to nearly every Monday morning for the last 3 years. Alli is also my accountability partner. We were both a part of the same mastermind back at the end of 2019. Even before we met in person, Alli agreed to weekly accountability check-ins and the rest is history, as they say. I invited Alli to the show so we could take you behind t...

Do You Ever worry that your email list hates getting emails? It’s a valid question, I suppose. Yet, everywhere we turn, we hear how important list building is if you ever want to expand beyond 1:1 coaching. In fact, our last episode was about this very thing. But what if your target audience just doesn’t dig email? Maybe they're the texting kind or just too darn busy to pay much attention to their inbox. That’s kinda the case for Valerie Recore who was on the show back on episode #112 Valerie he...

Let’s talk about the #1 thing standing between you and all the clients you want. It’s your list. Sometimes the answer to finding more clients is to build your list. And that’s the truth for my guest today. Michelle Cox who has a very clear vision about where she wants to take her business. That vision looks like: —8-10 private clients —1-2 VIP Days each month —1 small group and maybe a membership down the road. This vision is totally possible for Michelle and for you. But only if you make list b...

Today’s episode is a special one because we’re going to tackle the most common question I get asked...which is, “how can I find more paying clients?” But I’m not going to answer that question for you. Instead, I’ve invited four coaches, just like you, to do it. We first aired this episode back in 2020 but I wanted to bring it back because enrollment for client surge is now open. Class begins on January 13th, but we are enrolling now so you can enjoy the end of the year knowing you have a proven ...

Let’s talk about what the heck to do at the end of a sales call when a potential client says.. “Maybe, let me think about it.” A couple of days ago we talked about the importance of really centering the client which means presenting a clear invitation at the end of every single sales call. The intention is to give the client the dignity of their own process and, truthfully, some people need time. Whether they need to talk to a partner, move money around, or they need to just think things through...
