  • When to Fire a Client (and How to Know the Difference Between Lazy and Struggling) - 99
    Not every client is a good fit and keeping the wrong ones can cost you more than just time.
    In this episode of Beyond The Pump, we talk about the uncomfortable but essential topic of firing clients. We unpack how to spot the difference between a struggling client who needs support… and a toxic one draining your energy, morale, and business.
    You’ll hear real-life coaching examples, how keeping one wrong client can derail your whole day (and your other clients), and why “effort” and “ignorance” are the two things every coach should assess before making a decision.
    Whether you're overwhelmed, overcommitted, or just sick of repeating yourself… this conversation is your permission slip to protect your energy and lead with integrity.

  • What to Do After Your Client Gets Results - 98
    Most coaches celebrate when a client hits their goal—but that’s just the beginning.
    In this episode of Beyond the Pump, we dive into the data: fewer than 40% of clients actually reach their goals… and most will gain back progress if left unsupported. So what’s the real job of a coach after the "before-and-after"?
    You’ll learn how to avoid being a short-term fix and start becoming a long-term asset in your clients’ lives. From pre-work to post-goal planning, we unpack how elite coaches stay relevant and valuable beyond the first milestone.
    In this episode:
    -Why most clients won’t keep their results without you
    -What separates sustainable success from a quick win
    -How to help clients set new goals before the old ones end
    -When (ethically) it’s time to let a client go
    -What the real job of a coach looks like in 2025
    If you’ve ever asked, “What happens after the goal?”—this is your playbook. Follow us for more:
