Tipping the scales


How do you 'scale' a coaching business?

When a beginning coach is running out of time or has plenty of clients but still isn’t making much money it can be really tempting for them to look past the 1-on-1 work and fall into formats where they can serve more people. This is usually a mistake...

You don’t need to do group programs. You don’t need do events, or have a tribe. You don’t need to be known. You don’t need 1000 true fans, lead magnets, or info products. You don’t need to write a book.

Your business can be grown through intimacy and impact, alone.

It’s not that you can’t extend your business into those additional formats, but:
a) You don’t have to.
b) If you don’t have a solid foundation of intimacy and impact first, they won’t work.

Join me on Facebook Live next Tuesday and we’ll explore how growing a coaching business is different from most other businesses, what works vs what you’ve been told, and what might work best for you! Bring your questions or submit your questions beforehand in this event.

How do we create our lives, in a way that feels authentic, powerful, and in harmony with the world? I have many answers to that question, none of them true, but all of them potential useful so here’s a brief exploration: In the paradigm of Personal Empowerment we discover that we are creators, that we are responsible for our own fate and that instead of bemoaning what has been we can step forward and create what we want to be. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable...

When a client is struggling with something and they have no idea why, one way I like to play is to zoom out and approach it from two divergent perspectives: One perspective is Action:Are they actually doing the thing ?Are they putting in the necessary time and attention?Do they know what system they currently have in place, which is creating the results they’re getting?Are they getting into the medium and experimenting, to learn from experience not concept?Are they focusing on taking action,...

In a recent coaching session a client was blessing their ambitious goals with ‘inshallah’ (if Allah wills it). And ‘Deo volente’ (God willing) has been woven into my thinking through Stoicism. I love the power of being all in and going for something amazing, while simultaneously embracing whatever happens.Sometimes it works.Sometimes it falls apart.Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn, maybe just after you start or maybe just before you thought it would end. A doubtless and powerful focus,...
