Maybe during this year I kept thinking: 

"How the hell am I going to make it through this year? I lowered my Facebook Ad spent and created more content instead. Nothing seems to work out. 

Everyone around is struggling the same way. It's taking me away from my kids so much. How is it possible to seize an advantage in a downturn like that?"

Burnt out coaches think there are no profits to be gained but everything to be lost inside a downturn, like with the current pandemic going on.

It's like being a deer, staring into the headlights of the oncoming car, being frozen on the spot and not even trying to jump away.

Even when a volcano erupts, is it more important to stay where you are and not move an inch away or avoid being hurt by the incoming rocks and clouds of hot gasses.

Thriving coaches know that they can't sit still and wait for it to be all over. They can't really judge how long the circumstances might last. So they try to take it as it is and find possibilities that...

“How am I going to build a pandemic proof business? I don’t know if I can take another lockdown like that. I couldn’t see my child for the last few weeks, just because I was stuck here figuring out what to do.”

Thriving coaches know that times during a crisis are rough, but they also know how it can bring their coaching business to the next level. In this episode, Mariana talks about the things you can do during the pandemic and still make it thrive.

In order to succeed in business, we need to pay mind to finances. This is an active activity we need to take. We can’t assume everything is going well without looking at anything ourselves.

Today, I’m going to share with you 3 systems that I use as financial management tools and techniques so you can bring in more money so you can scale up in a sustainable way.

The First Of The 3 Big Financial Procedures Every Business Needs

Bookkeeping. This is a retrospective view of what just happened. 

Whatever you decide to use, it's just a system to track what just happened. Retrospective review because you only see what happened last week, month, quarter.

Not looking forward. Not a money management system.

You can do this in a few ways. You can use an app or software to track everything for you. You can work with a bookkeeper.  You can even just keep a google spreadsheet and track everything that way.

If you struggle mindset-wise then having it be automatic...

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.

Niching down your business and getting super specific is a great way to stick out in the minds of anyone who hears your name. But before that you need to have exceptional service and be someone worth recommending....

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...
