What I Wish I Knew When I Started My Business

After a brief hiatus, The Best Coach Ever Podcast is BACK – and it’s better than ever!

I’m kicking off my return by sharing my honest, candid thoughts about the things I *wish* I knew when I launched my online fitness coaching business in June of 2015.

What I’m discussing today isn’t unique to me. I see other coaches (especially newbies) making the same mistakes I did, and that’s why I wanted to record this episode.

Whether you’re just starting out, aspire to be an online coach or have been coaching for a while, you’ll definitely want to give this a listen. You’ll still make mistakes (that’s just part of it!), but this is a valuable opportunity to get advice from someone with the gift of hindsight who’s been there, done that and now has a 7-figure online coaching business.

In this episode, I cover:

My history as an online business owner [3:35]

Lesson 1: You don’t need to be an influencer to make money online (and there’s a BIG difference between influencers and business owners!) [9:25]

Lesson 2: Don’t underchange for your coaching services, and don’t be afraid to raise your rates – especially if you want to be the best coach you can be [16:35]

Lesson 3: There’s no badge of honor for not having boundaries and letting your clients walk all over you (hint: NONE of your clients need 24/7 access to you) [31:20]

Lesson 4: Learn to love sales – and how to successfully make sales – sooner rather than later [36:40]

Lesson 5: Hiring a business coach is one of the best things you can do to help ensure your long-term success [41:35]
