Going full-time in your coaching business is simpler than most coaches make it. It's not easy, but it is simple. In this episode, I break down what it actually takes to become a full-time coach, and why most people never get there.

Most coaches stay stuck for one reason: they lie to themselves about where they are. They believe they need hundreds of clients and millions in revenue before they're "allowed" to go pro. They don't. Coaching has a starting point like everything else.

Inside this episode:

• Why your floor matters more than your ceiling, and how to find the real number required to take care of your family
• The backwards math keeping coaches employed, and why you shouldn't demand more from your own business than you'll accept from a boss
• The two paths to going full-time: having the time to generate leads and close deals yourself, or having the money to pay someone who will
• Why niching down means fewer clients, premium fees, and bigger results on the same hours you're already working
• If you're a coach trying to go full-time and attract premium clients, this one gives you the standard to hold yourself to.

Most coaches are out here chasing algorithms, running ads, and burning money on funnels, and completely overlooking the most powerful sales system they already have. Genuine relationships.

Debbie Wemyss spent 15 years and worked with 900+ clients building a coaching business with no ad spend, no fancy tech stack, and no venture capital. Just a commitment to showing up for people before she ever needed anything from them.

In this episode, Debbie breaks down the exact LinkedIn habits and relationship principles that built her business from the ground up, including how a 20-minute daily routine can generate more pipeline than most coaches get from an entire marketing budget.

You will learn:

• Why most coaches mistake engagement for pipeline and what to do instead
• The 20-minute LinkedIn habit that keeps relationships warm without being transactional
• How to position yourself as a resource so clients come to you when they are ready to buy
• Why your first-person LinkedIn voice is the difference between blending in and standing out
• How Debbie turned a networking room into a national conference speaking career with no paid placement

Chris Giomblanco spent 20 years in the C-suite, helping scale companies from tens of millions to hundreds of millions in revenue, including building Dell Alienware into a global brand. Today he runs Gio Force Advisory from the Zambian bush, mentoring CEOs, founders, and high-performing executives on how to move from performing at the top to thriving at the top.

In this episode, Chris makes the case that nobody reaches elite performance alone. No pro quarterback, no top CEO, nobody. He breaks down his Eight Dimension framework for building a life that's aligned rather than just balanced, why most people chase a number instead of the actions behind it, and how subtraction (removing people, meetings, and habits) is often the real path to having it all.

He also shares the turning point that reshaped how he works: a health crisis during a hyper-growth season that landed him in front of a world-class cardiologist who told him to learn to meditate. That moment became the foundation of a hard-won truth he now teaches his clients. You don't step away from success to take care of yourself. You take care of yourself for your success.

I was recently asked a question during a fireside chat about what happens when potential guests feel entitled to a spot on your show. This was my answer.

→ Why a guest discovery call is an assessment, not a confirmation

→ The difference between guests who respect the medium and those who just want access

→ Why your standards exist to protect your listeners, your business, and your family

In the coaching industry, there's a lot of telling coaches who they should be. I don't agree with that. I believe in helping people think for themselves. So today I'm asking you three questions that I believe every coach needs to sit with.

When I look at what makes a great coach, a lot of it comes from the sports world. Great coaches win championships and prepare their athletes to be great beyond their sport.

In business coaching, I see three levels: creating transformative results is winning championships, making progress without the transformation is a winning season, and missing the mark entirely is a losing season.

The difference between those levels comes down to who the coach is. Their being. Their essence.

In this episode, I break down three questions every coach should answer honestly:

→ What do you stand for, and what do you stand against?

→ How do you communicate, and are you willing to evolve?

→ What is your process for self-reflection so you can continue growing no matter what?

I also share a story about a fitness coach whose business strategy revealed something most people don't want to talk about, why I believe Nick Saban's approach to recruiting athletes applies directly to how coaches should attract clients, and why blaming the person you're trying to influence for your ineffectiveness is a recipe for staying exactly where you are.

What’s really stopping you from becoming the thought-leader you’re meant to be?

In this episode of Daily Path Podcast, I break down the real reason so many capable, successful entrepreneurs hesitate to step into thought-leadership — and how to fix it.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking:

• “I want to be a business coach… but who would actuallypay me?”
• “I want to share my story… but who would listen?”
• “I want to write a book… but what if no one buys it?”

You’re not alone — and you’re notunqualified.

I explain why doubt isn’t a skill issue, confidence issue, or experience issue. It’s an identity issue.

Drawing from personal reflection, conversations with 6–8 figure entrepreneurs, and a powerful devotional insighton “embracing the new you,” this episode explores why so many people stay stuck seeing themselves as who they used to be — even after life and success have clearly moved them forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why successful people stillstruggle to own their voice
• The hidden cost of staying silentafter you’ve already succeeded
• How to audit your circle so itsupports who you’re becoming — not who you were
• A simple reflection exercise toreconnect with the growth you’ve earned
• Why thought-leadership starts withpermission — and how to give it to yourself
• How to practice the identity ofthe thought-leader you’re becoming (not just talk about it)

The truth is simple: You already have the experience. Youalready have the results. The only thing left is embracing who you are now.

If you’re ready to stop doubting your voice and start leading with it, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I break down why projecting your insecurities into your business is the number one reason coaches don't see the success they could be seeing, how lowering your standards to get in the room is the business equivalent of entering the dating market with no requirements, and why accepting arrangements that don't reciprocate your value is not a strategy, it's a habit that will cost you.

I also share a recent experience where someone wanted me to show up and gift my expertise to their organization, and when I shared what I'd need in return, they passed. No bad blood. Just a clear reminder that hope is not a strategy and your standards are not negotiable.

Whether you're just getting started or you've been coaching for years and you're still undercharging or over-giving, this episode will challenge you to stop settling and start operating like the expert you already are.

One of her coaching clients listened to her podcast for six years before ever reaching out. When they finally did, they signed a six-figure contract.

In this episode, I sit down with a coach and entrepreneur who went from ER nurse to network marketing millionaire to running a high-ticket coaching business with a rev share model built in.

We talk about the money stories that keep coaches from charging what they're worth, why she was scared to ask for $1,000 while making a million dollars a year, and why she believes you should never coach your friends.

If you're a coach trying to figure out how to price your services, attract premium clients, and build a business that reflects the value you actually bring, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

→ How she went from choosing a career at 13 based on job security to building a multimillion-dollar coaching business

→ The mindset shift that took her from $1,000 engagements to six-figure contracts with rev share

→ Why selling a physical product felt easy but charging for coaching felt impossible

→ The one rule she follows to protect her friendships as a coach

→ How her podcast became the primary source of her one-on-one clients

→ The Take Seven Method and why knowing what's not working is the first step
