Key Takeaways:

  • Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, but never step outside your integrity zone - the distinction between growth and compromise matters more than you think.
  • The coaches coaching coaches industry often becomes a pyramid where the only six-figure business they've built is teaching others to build the business they never actually built themselves.
  • Ask this critical question before hiring any business coach: Have they succeeded at the actual thing they're teaching, or only at teaching it?
  • Over-promising is the supplement industry of coaching - claiming your program cures everything while delivering results you can't control.
  • Two sides make financial coaches powerful: the dreamer who believes in potential and the realist who sees the hard work required.
  • The life coaching pyramid targets you as the easier sale - coaches buy faster than real clients because hope sells better than results.
