Nothing kills a coach's confidence and spirit more than getting on calls with a bunch of broke ass bitches am I right? Somewhat joking aside, if this is you, there is a way out and this episode is the exact blueprint to do that. We'll talk about why you have broke, weak, or no show leads filling up your calendar, how to qualify them earlier and better, how to re-offer the right way, how ads play i...

Look, I'll be honest with you… I started this competition prep for one reason, and it's probably not what you think.  Yeah, I'm going to look shredded, and yes, I'm revealing my full protocol today — including the macros, meals, peptides, PEDs, training, everything….  But the real reason?  I felt like I was getting soft…. And doing too much shit that was seeking comfort…  Drinking, staying up too...

This might be the episode that finally convinces you to raise your prices. I want to share a short clip from our State of The Union address we have for all our our IFCA clients and what I like to call the Intrinsic Worth law. We will breakdown each component so you'll understand what you need to work on and why you're holding back from reaching your ultimate potential.   Time Stamps:   (1:10) Miam...

When should you let your ad ride and when should you cut the cord and shut it down? If you are running ads or are just starting to run ads, this is a common question we get a lot inside of IFCA and instead of giving you theory, I want to give you actual student examples and what we suggested for them to do. I'll cover everything from ad performance, tech issues, what funnels are working best right...

Everyone thinks low-ticket is the easy entry point to online coaching. The $39 program, the $97 challenge, or the $120/month membership. But I'm here to tell you… it's actually SO much harder to build a business that way. And I know because I've lived it. In today's episode, I want to save you a lot of time and money and convince you why you should pursue the high ticket route when it comes to you...

Instagram just launched a new feature that will be a game changer for anyone selling a high ticket service like you. You can now use Instagram like a mini-sales funnel, linking back to a pinned post that sells your coaching. I'll break it all down in this episode along with how to structure that pinned post to maximize applications and show up rates.   Time Stamps:   (0:10) Views Don't Equal Clien...

We all have slumps but in our lives and in our businesses and Jordan and I are no different. At least once a quarter I am in tears wanting to burn it all down. But, what I keep going back to during hard times is today's topic: facts. Data is what we as business owners should always go back to rather than relying on our feelings. DM me for the tracker I mention in today's episode and I promise the...

How well do you know your ideal customers? Is this something you put the necessary time and attention into? A recent visit at Virgin Hotels in Nashville reminded me just how important this is and how far you can go to surprise and delight as I found lube and a vibrator at the bottom of their nightstand.  We'll talk through how this applies to your business, retention and referrals, and why we shou...

Before you make your next hire, listen to this episode. The first step to successful delegation is understanding first where your time is going. Much like counting macros, time is no different when it comes to achieving your business goals. I want to share what we have our IFCA students do to assess their time, what order of operations looks like with delegation, what to delegate first as a coach,...

Welcome back to another Content Makeover Series where I destroy and rebuild someone's Instagram and help them standout amongst the rest. Today's willing victim is our good friend David and I'll take his rather generic positioning and elevate it to badass.   Time Stamps:   (0:36) Fixing David's Instagram (1:29) Vagueness (2:31) Tying Together With Content ---------- 🔥 Want us to help you get your...

Not everyone will be ready for your core offer and that's why, if you want to be a smart business owner, you'll have a VIP tier that anchors your core offer's price and value but more importantly, have a down-sell offer to build your ascension pipeline. I'll breakdown when a down-sell makes sense, what it looks like and how to offer it after objection handling the core offer, positioning it as a r...

Alex Hormozi recently broke a Guinness World Record for most non-fiction books sold in 24 hours and rose the charts of all time releases leaving only JK Rowling at the top. This was no accident and mutinously planned. So much so he recorded a Youtube episode before the launch calling his shot of selling 3 million plus books.  How does this apply to you as a coach? There are key takeaways we must t...

If Ozempic and GLP-1's have felt like direct competition and an easy solution compared to your online fitness coaching service, what is happening right now might turn the tables. The manufactures of this drug are currently being sued for over 2 billion dollars and this opens up some marketing for you as a coach. There's a right way to go about this and a wrong and I'll talk about both in this epis...

Advertising has changed so much over the years and being in this industry since 2016, I've seen something absolutely crush only to fizzle out months later. What has been working recently for many of our clients is what I'm going to teach you today: the DM funnel. This builds trust and provides value first to those interested and lays the foundation for a great relationship. I'll breakdown the enti...

We recently had our Legacy event in Nashville and had the absolute pleasure of seeing one of our clients Paul there and wanted to grab him for a quick interview (so excuse some background in the audio) and talk to him about his experience with IFCA. He went from charging 69 a month through an app to completely changing his business model to charging 600 a month with healthy profit margins, bringin...

This one thing only makes sense when you truly understand it and have a plan for it for your business. That one thing is PROFIT. Early on when organic is working and it's just you or a couple of people, profit and reinvesting back into your business is probably far from your mind. If you want to scale, profit will be the only way you can do it effectively. I'm going to explain what profit buys you...

Given the statistics and biofeedback we received, we had a zero percent chance of conceiving Jaxson but after one incredible night on mushrooms throwing a football back and forth to each other, we visualized being boy parents. Then it happened. If you haven't heard either birth story, we wanted to come together in today's episode and talk openly about our experience, why Jordan didn't want kids at...

This is an episode I wish I had a long time ago when I made the mistake of not learning to delegate sooner and thinking delegation was trying to find my perfect clone. They do not exist and for good reason. In this episode, I'm going to teach you the art of delegation and how to do it the smart way. We'll start off by auditing your time, finding low leverage high frequency tasks, and get you on tr...
