Key takeaways:

  • Hiring a marketing agency as a coach can be a costly mistake, especially in the early stages of the business.
  • Understanding sales and marketing as an extension of coaching and enrollment is crucial for success.
  • Focus on the basics of creating content, having conversations, coaching every day, and making offers.
  • Agility is essential in the early stages of building a coaching business.
  • A simple social funnel coupled with consistent emails or a newsletter can lead to consistent 10 to 20k months.
  • The four C's (cultivate, create, coach conversations, celebrate) are important for fueling the funnel and achieving success.


Sound bites:

"If you're a coach that's under 10K a month, or perhaps you're a coach that's even made the occasional 10K a month, do not hire a marketing agency."

"Sales and marketing is an extension of coaching. Sales and marketing is enrollment."

"Your position of strength is your agility."
