You probably hear about workshops, masterclasses & bootcamps all the time. Invite after invite in your inbox. There’s a real good reason for this and it’s because they work!

Being a coach or expert requires you to be or become somebody worth following. As soon as you decide to be a coach you're announcing to your audience that you are a leader.

You’ll notice quite a few similarities between the top coaches in any industry. But one similarity that tends to be unanimous among all top coaches is that they all consistently show up on video.

During this episode I’ll go over what to do in each scenario as well as:  The difference between...

The majority of coaches understand the importance of selling from stage (virtual & live) but unfortunately, due to fear of speaking, they never cultivate or utilize this immensely valuable skill. You see the second you step on a virtual or live stage, you're instantly viewed as an authority figure. Making your audience way more receptive to what you are presenting & offering. During this episode we are going to tackle this head on so that by the end of it, fear of speaking is a thing...

Most course creators and coaches are left spinning their wheels when their offer isn’t selling. Oftentimes they'll think it’s their content in the course that’s the issue or sometimes they think they need to add more “how to” information to their presentation to sell it.

One of the most common phrases you’ll hear in the coaching space is to “stop selling time for money”. And while I wholeheartedly support this idea, I don’t think it applies to every coach. It totally depends on what season you are in. If you’re new, then getting some reps in is a good idea and if you’re a bit more seasoned then by all means you should look into transitioning away from trading time for money. In this episode, you’ll discover when and how to go about this transition as well as...
