Cutting through the noise of social media with your coaching business is tough, but in May 2022 FB came out with a new feature that is helping Group owners reach their members in a better way. The "@ everyone" tag is creating a lot of buzz on the platform, as people debate whether it's a good idea to use this to reach people for marketing purposes or not. In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts (...

Nothing in nature is always in a massive growth trajectory in an unmitigated fashion... and I'm no exception.

This week in our program, Level Up+, I got a fantastic question from a client…   The question stopped me dead in my tracks… I had to record a full-blown FAQ response to it. So I did! But then, I didn't stop there… I realized that my fierce independence growing up was a major reason that I didn't achieve as an adult at the same pace that I did as a teenager and young adult when my support systems f...

Starts and stops when you're in launch-mode of a coaching business can be devastating to your progress... but what do you do when real-life seems to interfere and you legitimately have SO MUCH on your plate? Kids, second jobs, responsibilities... most coaches are drawn to this career out of a desire to help others, and the reality is that most coaches are ALREADY helping others extensively. What d...

Have you ever hopped from one marketing strategy to another, hoping to find "the right" one?   Or went all the way through executing something, only to find that the shoe didn't fit, even after you thought you finally found that "Cinderalla shoe" of a marketing strategy?   This used to happen to me over and over again, and it led me to spending literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on courses...

This week I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes that led Chris to Scotland, how we shot an entire course LIVE with our community (even with kids in the background!) and what I learned from one of the most prolific high performance coaches when he personally coached me live during my Certified High Performance Coaching renewal.

I'm a huge advocate of creating a support system so that you can "have it all" in your life…   BUT you need to make sure that the support system is adequately supported, or else you might find yourself in a worse situation.   Hiring creates expense, both in time management and expenses - hiring is often positioned as the solution, but it's an incomplete solution if you don't have the processes and...

This week we mixed things up a bit in The Coach's Plaza FB group and we had a LIVE down-to-earth interview about how Ms. W did it… And by "did it" we mean she got 25 clients and filled 3 group coaching pods without posting to social media multiple times a day, running ads, or even hosting webinars! This week's episode of The CRUSH Method Show is a little different than how we usually do it, but yo...

Insecurity, insecurity, insecurity… It seems to be the big issue that most coaches can award as the biggest reason for their coaching business' growth stalling out.
