The Critically Conscious Coach

On today’s Marketing Monday, we'll dive deeper with this question "Do you have a Wide Field of Vision?" 

You see that it’s all interconnected, so how do you pick one area to specialize in? Is your business looking a little like Frankenstein? Have you gotten excited about something new, slapped it onto your business, and now no one knows what you’re really up to?

I know what this feels like, so let me tell you how I solved it for DTSQ.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants to know how to pick one area to specialize in, then this episode is for you.

On today’s Marketing Monday, we're going to talk about something you might have experienced. It's When You Buy Coaching But Get Courses. So here's an example: 

It sounded so great on the sales call. You’d get coaching as well as have access to a huge content library that would answer any question you could think of.

And then you get to the other side and discover live calls packed with tens (maybe hundreds) of people clamoring for help because (just like you) they watched the videos but need help applying the information directly to their business.

The coach only has a few minutes for each of you, and you’re told many times to “watch the video about XYZ”

This is what happens when coaches sell courses and call it coaching.

So if you're a coach, consultant, or service-based business owner who wants to know how to avoid buying a course instead of coaching, then this episode is for you.
