A lot of coaches dream of making big money when they first jump into the business.
Maybe it’s all of the ads they see promising them “7 figures in a month by working just a few minutes a day from the comfort of your hot tub!”.
It’s led to coaches creating things that will pay them while they’re in La La land and drooling on their pillows.
I’m all for making passive income – I have online programs and my print newsletter which brings in a nice amount for me every month.
But I didn’t start with those things right out of the gate.
I started by filling my coaching business with 1:1 clients (and group clients shortly afterwards).
After I was rolling with those things I added the other pieces onto my business that remain to this day.
I heard a great quote:
“Before you can make money while you sleep, you have to be able to make it while you’re awake”
1:1 coaching gets a bad rap from the 4-hour workweek people who scream “You’re trading time for dollars!” (some of the same crowd even attack group coaching, because you have to still actually coach people instead of laying on the beach and refreshing your bank account to watch the online program revenue roll in).
I don’t see 1:1 or group coaching as bad things. They help your confidence and make you a better coach. They also improve the quality of your online programs because you have more experience with clients to draw off of.
Coaches should actually be coaching.
If you’d like to make money while you’re awake, I’m opening up another one of my 10 Clients In 90 Days group programs this month.
I’ve got a few spots left, get more details here:
