Today, we are going to talk about all things pricing. From when you first get started all the way through years of coaching.

The number one way to sabotage your business and quit prematurely is to not respect your VALUE and only do it for the impact.

Btw, when we collectively as an industry can help STOP coaches from massively undercharging or having free services, it will raise up our value as a whole and our professionalism. 

Impact is important, of course, but so is keeping you in business and from feeling burned out!

In this episode, I discussed a free guide for beginner coaches.

Are you a new coach, a newer coach or an athlete thinking about becoming a coach?

I created a free guide to help you get your coaching business started, including:

🚀 The exact 9 step checklist to get your business started and your first paying athlete!

🚀 My 5 essential categories of apps you will need to get your business off the ground

🚀 3 ways to get new athletes

PS: This guide is great for more advanced coaches and their assistants!
