Life Coach Launchpad

If you want to get coaching clients, {{ subscriber.first_name }}, you have to develop trust with your audience.  There’s no way around it.  People need to feel like they know you, like you, and trust you before they’ll ever invest in working with you. And the way you build that trust?  You show up. You create content. You teach. You host masterclasses or calls. You give people a chance to hear you...

Once someone signs up for your lead magnet, your job isn’t done—it’s just beginning. Now, it’s time to nurture them. An email nurture sequence is a series of automated emails that educate and build trust with your audience. If done right, it turns cold leads into warm prospects, and warm prospects into paying clients.

If you want a steady flow of new coaching clients, you need a lead magnet that works. So, how do you make it effective? ✅ Keep it simple—something that can be consumed in 10 minutes or less.  ✅ Solve a specific sub-problem that your ideal client struggles with.  ✅ Make sure it leads naturally to your paid offers.

Before you can market anything, you need to know what you’re offering. Sounds obvious, right?  But if you aren’t clear on what you’re offering?  It leaks into everything—your messaging, your content, and yep, your ability to consistently sign clients. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m kicking off a 6-part series on building simple systems that automatically attract clients.  And the first system...

I’ve learned from working with life coaches that our thoughts create feelings, which drive our actions. And when it comes to marketing, how you think about it can either attract clients… or push them away. That’s why I put together 6 mindset shifts that can literally make you better at marketing.  You don’t have to believe all of them, but I guarantee a few will resonate—and they’ll help you confi...

I didn’t plan it, but at some point, I stopped hiring my copywriter for the day-to-day tasks he’d been handling for me for two years.  Why?  ChatGPT stepped in. Before you roll your eyes and think this is another AI hype podcast, let me explain. 

Back in my early corporate days, there was only one thing I dreaded more than our annual peer review process (👈eventually I grew to love this, btw)… Annual goal setting. Now, as a business coach, I really enjoy creating inspiring goals. But, I know that so many coaches skip goal setting entirely. Why? Because it sounds hard. That’s exactly why I created my extremely concise goal-setting process—t...

The Pomodoro Method is a simple strategy that breaks your work into manageable chunks, making it easier to get started and delivers steady progress.

Ending your day intentionally can make a world of difference in how you feel about your progress and how you approach the next morning. If you often feel like work spills into your evenings or that you’re carrying unfinished business into personal time, an end-of-day shutdown sequence could be the solution.

As a life coach, your day is often packed with tasks: client sessions, content creation, marketing, admin work, and your own personal development. It’s a lot to juggle, and without a clear plan, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and reactive. Most coaches focus on checking tasks off their to-do list, but that approach can leave you scattered and unable to make meaningful progress. What you really need...

Today, we are mapping out your ideal week using recurring time blocks. And, I’m giving you the exact tool I used and have used with clients to plan their ideal week. I call it the YOUR Ideal Week template.

Most of us feel pretty familiar with jotting down tasks, only to see them pile up and somehow never all get done.  If you’ve ever wondered how to actually clear that list leaving both you and your clients feeling satisfied, that's what this email is about. The secret?  Your to-do list captures the “what,” but your calendar makes it happen . 

Time blocking - setting up blocks of time to do a very specific task. It's the result of prioritizing the work that moves the needle the most, and scheduling it so that it actually gets done.

This is the concept that I teach my clients when they tell me that they want to build something big in their business, but they're having a hard time getting started. All big things start with daily habits. Habits start with a cue. Find the cues that will help you build a thriving coaching business. When you build a new habit, then build another one... Soon, you have powerful set of systems t...

If you've ever tried to start a new habit, only to have it fizzle out within days or weeks, you have to try this approach.

Holy smokes! You have to listen to this! It is a podcast episode that I did not record, but is all my content, and is super entertaining. Google has a free tool out that you can input up to 50 sources - links, youtube videos, text, and it will create an actually pretty good audio discussion of it. It always features the same two voices. They banter, tell zingers, and do an ok job of pulling out re...

If coaching is what you feel called to do... And, you want more clients to coach... Make sure all your offers (even your free ones) are Offer-Aligned.

Already have a podcast? Record the video, too. Already create video or a podcast? Use the transcription to create a blog post. Already writing blog posts? Turn it into emails, social posts, and so on. Here's how...

When I helped a client build her first group coaching program, she saw about a 2x increase in her individual coaching sales. That's in addition to her new revenue stream. Instead of hurting sales of other offers, she instead grew sales of ALL her offers. It doesn't have to be blowing up your business for it to remerge as a group coaching based business. You can have both. I hope that tak...

You can create almost any coaching offer using tools that you are probably already using today. Online tools like Zoom, Youtube and email can be put together to create programs that sound complex. Only you will know how simple it was to put together. When you figure out how to create a fancy sounding coaching program using tech you're already familiar with... You will stop procrastinating to...

Until you have a reliable way of bringing in new clients from the internet... The #1 reason to run ads is not growth. It's for faster feedback. Here's why...

A few months ago I was helping a client increase the number of consultations she was getting (and therefore individual coaching clients she was signing). At that part of the process, we were focusing on her lead magnet. We changed her lead magnet and saw a 68% increase in new subscribers every month.  It wasn't too surprising that her consultations jumped 2.5x and her revenue skyrocketed 219%...

Let's talk about your content. These 4 strategies is how I taught my client to create enough demand to confidently build and launch her group coaching program.

I was giving a consultation when the potential client asked me this question... "What was the hardest part of starting your business?" That's not what I was expecting him to ask, but I was instantly transported back to the days of me trying to figure when and if to create a podcast episode, an email, a social post and so on. My thought process went like this... How much time do I ha...
