Have you ever been in this situation: 

“I have taken in this new client last week but she just doesn’t want to listen to me, no matter what I do. I know I shouldn’t have taken her in. My gut feeling and everything else was against taking her in. Now I have missed my child’s soccer practice today, even though I promised her for a long time that I would come over and watch. I wish I knew how to say no politely in business.”

Burnt out coaches believe that they need to take in every person as a client, because they think that this is the way to grow their business. They will keep going even though it is not good for them.

Is it more important to have fulfilled lifelong clients or to have clients quitting on day one and leaving a bad review behind? 

What if I told you that this doesn't need to be the case?

Thriving coaches know it too well themselves. But when they were confronted with those kinds of clients, they politely declined them. They know...

You might have experienced this: "I took this client up, but now it's a struggle because she just doesn't want to work with. I wish I could see my kids more often nowadays…  If I only knew how to turn down a client politely.”  Successful coaches know this problem very well. They know how important that is for the future of their business. In this episode, Mariana talks about helpful things you can do to achieve that goal and what it takes.

One of the biggest mistakes I see struggling coaches make when it comes to their group programs is the transition from going from what has worked like selling one on one, private coaching, selling on private call etc. to something that hasn't worked before.

When we try to go from a 1 on 1 model to a one to many model we must learn how to narrow our coaching niches.

Some people are going to have resistance to that, I can already hear it. You help people with so many different things. What if i get bored with this topic? I used to be like that, I totally understand.

However once I was able to get past that preconceived notion I was able to see some major benefits.

Group programs are something else that people are hesitant about. However if you can switch to a group format then you’re also able to experience huge benefits in that way. I understand that it can be intimidating but I’ve created the Ultimate Group Coaching Launch Checklist to help you out.

Why You Should...

Have you ever asked what you can do to grow your business? Maybe you have thought about letting more clients into your private coaching sessions. 

But then you realized that you only have so much time before you are overloaded. Maybe you spent time creating a different program. But none of these ideas have solved this problem yet.

"What might be the top reasons for customers to buy from me?”, you might have wondered.

Some burnt out coaches have gotten in their first sales with their sales call. But then they think that the only way to grow is to do more of that same thing. But in reality they mostly make it harder on themselves. 

What if I told you that it doesn't need to be like that? Think about what is more important: Knowing how to grow in your current situation or sticking to the old ways. 

With only a hammer, everything can look like a nail, doesn't it? But is it really better that way?

Successful coaches know about that problem. After they have gotten in...

In this episode, Mariana talks about 5 strategies that will help you create scalable sales systems, based on your needs. Have you ever reached the point in your coaching business where you have run out of selling strategy examples? Have you ever been there thinking: "I am getting some sales now. But how can I have time for all those new clients coming in? It's too much for me to handle."

We don’t need to work with everyone. We shouldn’t be working with everyone.

What if I told you that you could work with only your dream clients? Clients that are ready and willing to work with you. Clients that aren’t going to complain about your pricing and are prepared to do the work. This is possible if you know how to attract them.

Today I wanted to answer a question from a client about how she can go about attracting the perfect customer for her and her business. 

Case Study - A Question From A Client

I know who my target audience is but I need suggestions on where to find them.  

I keep running into people who are still in the early stages of their business or they don’t value truly strong branding. They want to DIY their branding and website which is fine, but they aren’t my target audience. They haven't gotten to the phase where they understand and want to pay for my services.

I’m looking for my ideal...

Have you ever wondered why businesses fail inside the coaching industry? If you are a mom, have a job and also try to build a six figure business, you know how hard it can be. 

You don't want to spend time with your loved ones and give them the best care possible. But you also want to achieve your own coaching goals. "How is that even possible", you probably thought once. 

Burnt out coaches get tired from gurus that tell them to just work harder or longer hours. They tend to go into their business days and then do exactly that though. Or they might go back to their current corporate careers because it seems impossible to build a sustainable coaching business. 

But have you also thought about how things can look like ten years down the road with your thriving coaching business? Take a step back and compare that to where you are right now? 

Is it more important for you to keep doing what you have been doing or pursue your passion for coaching? What could you win...

You might have dealt with problems faced by Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). You were just trying to create endless content. Even if you managed to do it, your income didn’t go up. Gurus told you that being on all platforms is the way to grow your business, but then it didn’t work out for you again. Thriving coaches have been there at some point. Some had to deal with other problems to get to where they are now. In this episode, Mariana talks about these types of problems, so you can avoid those traps inside your coaching business.
