The Kim Barrett Show Podcast Kim Barrett

Consistency in business is fundamental to its success and longevity. This reliability extends across various dimensions, playing a pivotal role in building trust and credibility. When businesses consistently deliver quality products and services, they establish a reputation for reliability that fosters long-term relationships with customers and clients.

In today's episode, we delve into a pivotal theme that underpins success in both business and marketing—consistency. We reflect on the recently concluded 12-week training phase for many clients, and it's been a great testament to the power of consistency, as we discuss the importance of fostering habits and commitment in the ever-evolving landscape of client relationships.

So what are you waiting for? Join us for the final installment of our "Coaching in the Car" mini-series, where we challenge you to overcome perfectionism and fear. And explore the transformative philosophy that "more offers equal more sales," placing an emphasis on embracing progress over fixating on perfection as you navigate the path to success.

Hop into the car with us for another coaching in the car session! Today, we're talking about figuring out how much your skills and knowledge are really worth when you're coaching in the business world.

John Pownall, who's been with us for the previous five episodes, shares some ups and downs that he's been through from the past few weeks like trying to get new clients while juggling a busy life. It's tricky when most of your clients come through word of mouth and you're also working face-to-face with people. Sometimes, you meet folks who might not be the best fit or who take a long time to decide.

Today's episode zooms in on an important idea: not selling yourself short. It's about understanding that what you know and the experience you bring are valuable. We also touch on how telling people about the value you provide is key. It's not just about what you charge but making sure clients see the good things they'll get from working with you.

The ride isn't all about pricing; learning and understanding that sometimes having fewer clients and charging a bit more might actually be better. Join us as we find the right balance between your pricing and seeing your business's worth clearly in the world of coaching. Tune in!

In this episode, let's take a deep dive into the unique set of challenges that arise as a coaching business expands and takes on more clients. It's not always smooth sailing; there are bumps in the road, and we're here to share some of our recent experiences and insights.

As John's business here has been steadily growing, he's had the privilege of interacting with a diverse range of clients. However, with growth comes a new set of hurdles, and it's essential to address them with sensitivity and a clear strategy. One such challenge is dealing with clients who initially show immense enthusiasm but quickly become overwhelmed by the demands of their fitness routines.

Today, let's explore the delicate balance between being understanding and maintaining the integrity of the program. We've learned that clients often over-stress themselves, creating excuses to avoid tackling new challenges. To help them overcome this, we've advocated for breaking down tasks into manageable steps, focusing on one thing at a time to reduce feelings of overwhelm.

Join me in this conversation for more tips as we share the journey of growth and the invaluable lessons we've learned in dealing with clients at various stages of their fitness journeys. We also discuss the intricacies of coaching, the rewards of guiding clients toward their goals, and the ever-present challenge of balancing compassion and accountability. It's a real-world look at the business of coaching and the commitment to helping clients overcome their hurdles as they strive for success.
