I’ve seen a lot of nonsense in the online business industry—both during my time in it and well before then. I want to pull back the curtain a bit and show you some of the marketing tactics being used to get you to buy into courses and programs so that you can make better decisions. I also talk about the fear that we’re creating a coaching micro-economy—where we coach future coaches in order to make money to hire more coaches—and the importance of getting outside of your business bubble. This is a conversation many people in this space want to have but they don’t know how it will be received, so I hope it resonates with you.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

1. 02:26 - Becoming a better consumer
2. 06:32 - The rinse and repeat
3. 09:29 - The coaching micro-economy
4. 12:36 - Looking outside the coaching industry for advice *
5. 19:31 - Niching down vs demographic limitations *
6. 28:43 - Looking into the context of metrics and promises
7. 34:28 - The manipulating mindset trick
