The more you understand the hidden work behind a coaching business, the easier it becomes to stay consistent long enough to see the results. In this episode, Joanna shares the part of building a coaching business that rarely gets talked about: the time, energy, and consistency required before the clients come.

This episode is for coaches who are showing up consistently but questioning whether the time they’re spending on marketing is normal, and need reassurance that they’re on the right track.
