    Episode 33: Why Clients Don't Follow Plans & How To Fix It

    Episode 33: Why Clients Don't Follow Plans & How To Fix It

    I think this is the worst of all things about coaching.
    When a client isn't making progress, they've been with you for some time, but they just haven't got a result. 
    But the thing is, they haven't followed a single thing you've told them to do. 
    No matter what you try, they just won't follow your plan. Then they have the audacity to moan at you that they're not making progress and almost guilt trip you into the fact that they're unhappy and for some reason it's your fault...
    When this happened to me, it wasn't just the fact that I was kinda worried that this person was probably gonna ask for a refund (even though they didn't warrant it)
    I was just fed up of banging my head against a wall, and us getting nowhere. It took the fun out of coaching and I had a huge amount of resentment towards these people who had stamped all over what was once exciting for me. 
    But I realised, I had missed something! This one thing, this secret as to why they weren't adhering. 
    And as soon as I began implementing it, it's like someone switched on the lights and everything change. They started following my plans, they started getting results!
    But more importantly... that spark came back for me.
    In this episode I run through the one secret I learned and you can use today as to why your clients aren't following the plan, and what you can do to fix it TODAY!

    Episode 32: The Magic Of Predictability: One Trick For Reliable Monthly Income

    Episode 32: The Magic Of Predictability: One Trick For Reliable Monthly Income

    The biggest worry and risk we take as fitness entrepreneurs is the fact we don't have a clue how much money we're earning month to month...
    Everyone else who has a job knows how much they're going to earn, they can make plans with their life and have security of finance.
    Whereas we lie there staring at the ceiling at 3am full of anxiety as we don't know where our next client is coming from, and plan ahead so we know the official date that we run out of money!
    But in this episode I reveal, that in a secret life... I am some what of a magician, and I share a magic trick that I used in my ONLY EVER JOB that allowed me to increase the amount that clients/customers would pay me, so that when I did get paid, I got paid BIG!
    And you'll also learn the simple mindset shift that allows you to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of not knowing where your next client is coming from, and will show you how you can unleash a flood of leads into your coaching business without the social media grind

    Episode 31: Ignore The Critics: Why Low Carb Diets Are The Key To Standing Out & Achieving Results Other Fitness Coaches Can't

    Episode 31: Ignore The Critics: Why Low Carb Diets Are The Key To Standing Out & Achieving Results Other Fitness Coaches Can't

    Every other coach says the same thing.
    "if you're not losing weight, it's because you're not in a calorie deficit" 
    In this episode I uncover how although being known as the coach who uses low-carb diets brought me a tonne of criticism. They also allowed me to get my clients losing 10-14lbs every 30 days like clockwork. I run through how adopting low carb diets and actively talking about them really is the secret to standing out in this saturated market of being a fitness coach. 
    Remember, although this coaching industry is saturated... It's not competitive, every one else is saying the same average thing, delivering the same average result.
    This episode will show you how to can be different. You can be the coach who not only stands out, but is in a league of your own.

    [Special Guest Phil Brady] Leaning Into Fear: Viewing Fear & Doubt As A Signal Of Growth

    [Special Guest Phil Brady] Leaning Into Fear: Viewing Fear & Doubt As A Signal Of Growth

    In this special episode, I had the privilege of sharing a space with a very special human being.
    Phil Brady is a leadership coach who helps people all over the world succeed and perform at home and in work. In this episode Phil shared many things, but specifically how we view fear. We naturally have a negative view towards fear and when it rears its head, we fight against it, but what if this feeling we call fear wasn't as "bad" as we make out. 
    If you are in a place where you maybe feel slightly stuck, you're pushing harder and harder than ever before. That feeling of doubt & worry is becoming more of a frequent visitor and the voice inside is telling you that you're not good enough, then this episode will provide you with a very special experience and a sense of calm that everything is currently okay. I know that because, that is exactly the experience I had having been part of this conversation, enjoy.
