The Best Coach Ever Podcast

Contrary to popular belief, selling does NOT have to be unpredictable and inconsistent – my business is proof of that. And because I don’t believe in gatekeeping, today I’m sharing EXACTLY how to get out of the “show up on social media and cross my fingers that I make a sale” cycle. If you’re an online coach or any type of online service provider, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode....

This episode is for you if you’re an online business owner or coach who wants to create a TON of sales momentum in a short period of time – which is the purpose of a launch! You’ll learn why launches are incredibly effective when it comes to getting people who are on the fence to hop off and purchase your offer, and you’ll find out when you should – and should NOT – consider hosting a launch. I’m...

I’m SO excited to welcome Dr. Shannon Bennett back to the podcast! In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that *many* of you have requested: How to handle anxiety as a business owner. Dr. Shannon and I discuss common issues that entrepreneurs encounter (overworking, undereating, over-caffeinating… just to name a few) that can result in or contribute to heightened feelings of anxiety, and we sh...

In today’s episode, I’m discussing – and debunking – 7 of the most common fears that keep people from launching or growing an online coaching business, and I’m giving my best advice for overcoming those fears. These are not only fears that I’ve personally dealt with but also fears that I help my clients move past every day, so chances are this episode will include something YOU have felt or are fe...

Today I’m sitting down with my brilliant friend Christina Scalera, an attorney who helps done-for-you service providers turn their services into passive-selling digital products sold via an online storefront. She’s also known for founding an award-winning, 7-figure online store called The Contract Shop® that sells legal templates, workbooks and courses for creative entrepreneurs, online course cre...

Setting boundaries as a business owner isn’t just a good idea – it’s ESSENTIAL. Unfortunately, that’s a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Not only did failing to set boundaries early in my coaching business steal my energy and reduce my ability to fully show up for my clients, but it also kept me from enjoying my personal life and resulted in serious burnout. 10/10 would *NOT* recommend. However...

I know from personal experience that discouragement is one of the biggest challenges business owners face. It’s also very dangerous because, if we aren’t careful, our discouragement can fester, grow and, ultimately, harm or even RUIN our businesses. That’s because we often stop taking action when we feel discouraged. Not only will prolonged inaction kill our progress, but it also makes us feel mor...

There’s a big difference between business owners and influencers, and as a result, the two MUST present themselves online in very different ways. However, many online fitness coaches get stuck in the influencer trap (trying to grow a massive social media audience, creating content that they think will appeal to the masses, etc.)...  And then they wonder why their programs aren’t selling. Today, I’...

After a brief hiatus, The Best Coach Ever Podcast is BACK – and it’s better than ever! I’m kicking off my return by sharing my honest, candid thoughts about the things I *wish* I knew when I launched my online fitness coaching business in June of 2015. What I’m discussing today isn’t unique to me. I see other coaches (especially newbies) making the same mistakes I did, and that’s why I wanted to r...

In honor of my 50th podcast episode (!!!), I'm covering something super important: Money mindset. It’s a topic that, in my experience, women tend to struggle with – they often feel guilty for wanting to make lots of money or think they’re not “good enough” to charge fair, reasonable rates for their services. Money can also bring up issues of worthiness and make us question the beliefs our par...

Whether you’re starting from scratch or working to ascend to the next level in your business, embarking on something new can elicit feelings of fear and anxiety that seem IMPOSSIBLE to overcome – I know from experience. But you CAN feel the fear and do it anyway (again, I know from experience!), and that’s what I’m discussing in today’s episode. You’ll find out why you don’t need to worry so much...

If you’ve ever wondered *exactly* how much money I’ve invested in working with business coaches over the years, you’ll DEFINITELY want to listen to this episode! I’ve already discussed many of the biz investments I make each month – paying my team members and other people who support my business, different platforms I use, etc. – but I’ve NEVER publicly discussed my business coaching investments i...

I’ve recently been asked if it’s STILL possible to become a successful online coach – or is it too late? Is the market too saturated at this point? The short answer: It’s absolutely NOT too late, and it’s *very* possible to make a lot of money online… yep, even now, and even if you’re brand new to online coaching. The long answer: You’ve gotta listen to the episode to find out! I’m diving into man...

No matter where you are in your business journey, chances are you’ve felt like nothing is working for you at some point – maybe you’re there right now, or maybe you’re feeling as if things that worked for you before are no longer panning out. I’ve been there, too, and I know how hard it is. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you can to succeed and things just aren’t going your way, t...

Are you working hard to create awesome social media content… but it’s STILL not landing with your audience? Are you tired of blaming the algorithm for your lack of engagement? If you said “YES” to either of those questions, this episode is definitely for you – if you can handle a little tough love, that is. I’m sharing the truth about comments, likes and saves (spoiler alert: they’re nice, but the...

Spoiler alert: This episode is ALL about the importance of creating and upholding boundaries – because *that* is the secret to keeping burnout at bay. I’m discussing physical and emotional boundaries and sharing the successes I’ve seen both personally and professionally since prioritizing and maintaining my own boundaries. You’ll hear real-life examples of how I run my business and serve my client...

You probably already know what cold calling is – the process of calling someone (unsolicited) and trying to make a quick sale without forming a connection – and that’s essentially what cold direct messaging is, too. If the idea of this kind of sales approach makes you cringe, you’re in the right place because… I do NOT like or support cold DMing, and in this episode, I’m going into detail about wh...

First things first: If you’re struggling to convert leads to clients, it’s probably NOT because your prices are too high (even if that’s an objection you’ve heard frequently). Instead, it’s likely because you haven’t nailed the 3 things I’m discussing in this episode. Tune in to hear why lowering your rates isn’t necessarily the answer to getting more people to work with you, and find out what I r...

When I made the major mindset shift I’m discussing in this episode, my entire business (and life) changed – for the better. If you’re like most people, you know what you *should* do to get the results you want… you have the strategy, you have access to the tools and resources you need, you’re consuming all the right content and following all the right people… but something VERY important is holdin...
