Can AI Replace a Business Coach? 10 Reasons It Can’t 26.09.2025

Let’s get this out of the way: I love AI. I use it every single day in my business—when I’m creating content, writing emails, mapping out offers, planning systems, and helping other life coaches do the same. AI tools like ChatGPT are powerful, and if you’re running a coaching business, it’s smart to learn how to use them. But… there’s a thought that’s starting to creep in for some coaches: “If I c...

What Makes A Lead Magnet Irresistible 04.09.2025

Most life coaches create lead magnets that check all the boxes—but don’t actually convert.

If your lead magnet isn’t bringing in leads on autopilot, this one’s for you.

How To Create Irresistible Coaching Offers 27.08.2025

In the first part of my six-part series on building an automated marketing system for your coaching business, I talk about a crucial foundation: creating your offers. While this may seem straightforward, it’s more than just listing services on your website—it’s about getting crystal clear on who you help and how you help them.

Why Your Thoughts Matter More Than Strategy When It Comes to 100K 21.08.2025

The first day of school reminded me of something powerful—my mindset matters more than my circumstances. In this episode, I break down the two keys to hitting six figures as a life coach: simple math and the mindset shifts that help you move forward, no matter the season.

The trick my dad uses to get a word in… 07.08.2025

Having a great coaching offer isn’t enough if no one sees it. And guess what? If your emails aren’t getting opened, it’s not your offer that’s the problem—it’s your email strategy .

Group Coaching Without the Tech Overwhelm 07.08.2025

If you’re thinking about launching a group coaching program, there’s a question you’ll inevitably face: What’s the best format for your coaching offer? It’s easy to default to what sounds simplest, what other coaches are doing, or what seems most scalable. But ultimately, your format decision needs to come down to one core thing: 👉 What will get your clients the transformation you promised them?

What a babysitter taught me about marketing 31.07.2025

Having a new babysitter while we leave the house doesn’t always go seamlessly. But one time, we had a new sitter for our three kids—and she completely nailed it. She made a connection with all 3 kids in under 5 minutes. Here's how she did it. And what that means for your marketing.

I Didn't Expect This To Work So Well 24.07.2025

I didn’t plan to stop hiring my copywriter. He’d been working with me for years, and I trusted him to create thoughtful, well-written copy for my own business and for clients. But without realizing it, I stopped sending him projects. Why? Because I started using ChatGPT. Now before you think this is just another “AI is everything!” video—it’s not.

The 3 Types of Trust You Must Build to Sell Coaching 21.07.2025

When most coaches think about selling, they picture explaining the value of coaching. You highlight your client’s struggles—what’s not working, what’s keeping them stuck—and paint a vision of what’s possible. Then you naturally talk about how your coaching helps them bridge the gap. That’s what your audience sees on the surface. But underneath, something deeper is happening inside their brain—some...

What I Did Before Taking 3 Weeks Off 10.07.2025

I used to be an engineer for a big corporation here in St. Louis, MO, and I’ll never forget what one of my first bosses told me: “There are two kinds of people—those who live to work, and those who work to live.” Back then, that binary way of thinking made perfect sense to me. I was solidly in the work-to-live camp: put in your hours, earn your paycheck, and then enjoy your life outside of work. B...

Most life coaches miss this… 05.03.2025

If you want a steady stream of coaching clients on autopilot, you need a system for telling people about your coaching offers—one that feels natural, not pushy.
