The Built For Coaches Podcast

Most coaches fall into the void because there's nothing stand out about them. They have opinions that are about as controversial as roasted cheese or toasted cheese. There's a reason many are forgotten and this episode tells you why.

In a world where people chase vanity metrics and use them as a marker for "success" you can build your own world where people follow religiously, regardless of the size. After making well over 7 figures in the past few years with what some people deem as a "small following" I believe that most coaches are missing these key pillars in their marketing and it's why people aren't buying.

Coaches rave about personal standards but they never take a moment to consider how their narratives translate to coaching relationships and why, due to their inability to think critically and objectively about what's best for someone else, can actually be one of the most damaging beliefs passed on to clients.

The top 1% of people make going the extra mile the default standard. If you're claiming you want what many others can't achieve but following the same average outputs, you're wasting a resource that you can't get back.

Coaches never take this aspect of their business into consideration. Arguably, the most crucial part. If you can have high agency in this area, you'll win the game.

Are you aware of the dynamic you're creating inside your coaching relationships either with clients or your own coach?
