    If you're an online fitness or health coach looking to grow your business to consistent five-figure months—or even scale to multiple six or seven figures—don't miss this episode of the podcast. Jason Milan breaks down a clear, three-phase roadmap to help you attract clients predictably without burnout, sleazy sales tactics, or endless DMs. You'll learn how to dial in your messaging, craft an irresistible offer, build content and conversion systems that actually work, and ultimately scale your business with simplicity and impact. Whether you're just starting or ready to refine your systems and elevate your brand, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss. Tune in now!   “If you can articulate the problem better than your ideal client can, they're going to automatically assume that you can solve the problem. Because how else would you know how to communicate it that well if you didn't also know how to solve it.”   Learn more about: Follow a Three-Phase Business Roadmap: A strategic growth path for online fitness and health coaches:Monetize (0–5 clients/month); Scale (5–20 clients/month); and Impact (20+ clients/month). Effective Messaging Drives Conversion: Being able to articulate your client's problems better than they can is a powerful positioning tool.  A Clear Offer Is More Important Than a Great Program: Your program might be amazing, but if your offer—how you communicate its value—is weak or unclear, it won't convert. Use Focused, Sustainable Lead Generation: Instead of scattered tactics, Jason advocates for focusing on one social media channel, building a rhythm of content (connection, influence, authority, conversion), and getting at least 10 leads a day to maintain a predictable pipeline. Systematize Before You Scale: Many coaches burn out because they try to scale chaos. Building delivery systems, onboarding flows, and retention offers first ensures the business grows without compromising client results or personal sanity.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    If you're a coach, content creator, or entrepreneur struggling to stand out with your content, you need to hear this. In episode 274 of the School of Impact podcast, discover how Jason uses a custom GPT—trained entirely on his voice, content, and copywriting frameworks—to effortlessly produce high-performing, on-brand content across platforms. Whether you're tired of generic AI outputs or want to scale your messaging without sounding robotic, this episode is packed with actionable insights on building a powerful AI assistant that sounds just like you. Tune in and learn how to turn your voice into a content machine.   “One of the secrets of this is, if you are not a great copywriter, and if you don't have loads of successful content or if you don't have loads of successful transcripts that you have from videos that you've done that have converted, to be honest, you're gonna have a mediocre chatGPT bot. So having a really good copy is key.”   Key Takeaways: Custom GPTs Are Most Effective with a Solid Knowledge Base: To get high-quality, personalized content from AI, you must feed it with a strong knowledge base—your own successful posts, transcripts, and frameworks. Generic inputs lead to generic, ineffective outputs. Voice-to-Text Is a Powerful Instruction Tool: Jason uses voice texting to create detailed, authentic instructions for his custom GPTs, enabling them to replicate his tone, style, and strategic approach to copywriting. Content Creation Should Start with Your Genius Zone: AI should enhance your strengths—not replace them. Whether it's video speaking or writing, start with your natural medium and let AI help repurpose and scale it across platforms. GPTs Are a Leverage Tool, Not a Shortcut: AI should be used to create efficiency, not to avoid effort. When used properly—especially with brain dumps and structured refinement—it can help you generate endless content that still sounds like you.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    Are you tired of the burnout that comes with chasing clients through DMs, constantly posting on social media with little return, and feeling stuck in feast-or-famine revenue cycles, this episode is for you. In Episode 273 of the School of Impact Podcast, you'll discover a five-part system that helps coaches and online service providers consistently attract 50–100 clients—without the chaos. From crafting magnetic messaging and building a strategic content system to designing conversion events and scaling with a tiered offer strategy, this episode delivers actionable insights backed by real-world success. Tune in now and learn how to grow your business with clarity, consistency, and sanity.   “We don't have to be aggressive in the DMS, chasing people. We just have to be better with communication, with being able to speak our message in an influential way”   Hear more about: Messaging Is Everything: Clear, specific, and emotionally resonant messaging is more effective than generic content. The key is to speak directly to your audience's external struggles and internal frustrations in their language, with a unique angle that helps you stand out in a noisy market. Strategic Content Systems Outperform Random Posting: Success doesn't come from constant, scattered posting. Instead, create a strategic content system that includes connection, authority, proof, and conversion posts—while also shifting beliefs and leading your audience through a buying journey. Conversion Events Create Predictability: Relying on high-volume DMs for sales leads to burnout and low conversion. Instead, run regular conversion events like live workshops, VSLs, or challenges to move leads through the buying pyramid in a more structured and scalable way. Email Lists Provide Leverage and Longevity: Social media visibility is fleeting. Consistently growing and nurturing your email list ensures better audience control, deeper engagement, and increased trust—all of which lead to more conversions over time. Tiered Offers Drive Sustainable Growth: You don't need to constantly acquire new clients to scale. A well-structured, tiered offer—where clients can move between one-on-one and group options—helps increase client retention, stabilize monthly revenue, and simplify scaling without overcomplicating your business.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    If you've ever questioned your value as a coach, struggled with imposter syndrome, or felt stuck trying to get consistent leads, you need to hear this episode. Jason shares how he went from making $22,900 a year as a firefighter to earning $20K in a single day—and breaks down the exact 20% of actions that drove 80% of his results. From unlocking deep conviction in his offer to building an "invisible funnel" that consistently brings in clients without chasing leads, this episode is packed with powerful, real-world strategies that are working right now. Hit play and get ready to shift how you show up in your business.   “With the right messaging, you start to create this ecosystem that nurtures your audience, and it does it consistently and predictably without you having to be there. When you have the right messaging and the right content plugged in the right content system, it literally does the heavy lifting for you, and then the sales become much easier.”   Key takeaways: Conviction in Your Offer Matters: Deep, embodied conviction—not just surface-level belief—is crucial. Confidence comes from owning your results and recognizing your journey, which helps overcome imposter syndrome. Reflect on Your Journey: Ask yourself if your younger self would be proud of what you've built. Revisiting personal wins can reignite motivation and restore self-belief. Offer Positioning Is Critical: Position your offer in a way that solves a specific pain point for your audience. In this case, “I'll build your marketing, you just close the deals” directly addressed the gap many coaches face. Simple, Clear Messaging Converts: Avoid vague offers. Be specific and outcome-driven in how you communicate the value of your service. Build a Warm Audience (Invisible Funnel): A non-linear funnel—leveraging a content ecosystem across platforms like Facebook, groups, email, and YouTube—can nurture leads without manual outreach. Nurture Means Care: True nurturing is about helping people grow and win before they ever buy from you—not just “warming them up” for a sale. Messaging Is Like Speaking the Right Language: If your audience isn't responding, it's likely a messaging issue. Say the right words, in the right way, to the right people. Your Message Matters: Be bold in sharing your voice—impact starts with being seen and heard.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    If you're a coach, consultant, or creator who's tired of chasing vanity metrics and wondering why a massive follower count isn't translating into income—or impact—this episode is a must-listen. In it, you'll get a raw, real look at how to actually monetize a small audience. You'll hear behind-the-scenes stories from a coach who's helped influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers struggling to hit $10k/month, while others with just a few thousand raving fans are consistently earning $30k, $40k, even $50k. This isn't about hype—it's about purpose-driven messaging, building community around a deeper mission, and using a powerful strategy that includes your “big idea,” identity, unique mechanism, and social proof to attract and convert your ideal clients. If you're ready to stop chasing numbers and start building a business that brings both freedom and transformation, tune in now. Your message matters more than ever.   “I find that if you truly nurture people which stands for, care for and encourage the development of, you're gonna have people that stick around with you. You're not gonna have leads that just die on a list. You're gonna have leads that are constantly engaged with you, because you are truly helping them grow. You are solving problems.”   Key Takeaways: A Big Audience Doesn't Equal Big Income: Many influencers with huge followings are barely scraping by, while others with small, engaged audiences are making 5-figure months. It's not about how many followers you have—it's about how you nurture and serve them. Purpose-Driven Brands Win: People connect with why you do what you do, not just what you do. Infusing your deeper mission into your brand builds loyalty and attracts your ideal clients. The Four Sales You Must Make: To convert leads into clients, you must sell: A new belief (big idea); A new identity they aspire to; A unique mechanism (your signature framework); and Social proof (stories and case studies) Content Ecosystems Outperform Linear Funnels: Traditional funnels are outdated. People engage through multiple platforms and in non-linear ways. Creating a strategic, nurturing content ecosystem (e.g., Facebook + YouTube + email) keeps your audience engaged and ready to buy when the time is right. Messaging is the 5% That Drives 95% of Results: Whether you're running ads, posting content, or speaking to your list—your ability to communicate your message clearly and persuasively is the most powerful lever in your business.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    Are you chasing likes, comments, and followers, thinking they're the key to making money online? Think again. In this episode, we're exposing the big lie about content engagement and breaking down what really leads to success on the internet. After a troll called me out for my low engagement, I realized something crucial—despite having a relatively small audience, I've made over a million dollars, and many of my most successful clients have done the same without huge followings. The truth is, it's not about vanity metrics; it's about building a tribe of buyers who trust you, value your expertise, and are ready to invest. We'll dive into the power of 1,000 true fans, why messaging and content strategy matter more than flashy numbers, and how to nurture your audience effectively for long-term success. If you're tired of playing the social media numbers game and want to build a profitable business, you won't want to miss this one. Listen in!   “When you have the right messaging, when you have the right content, when you have the right nurture process, it becomes a really, really easy, or it's just the easier to be able to build a very successful and profitable business that's impacting a lot of lives, with not a big audience and with not tons of engagement, because we're here to create a tribe of buyers, to create this 1000 true fans. And so if you grasp this concept, you could definitely do very, very well and not get caught up into the social media, kind of like Insta famous, kind of world that people are in.”   What you'll learn: Engagement ≠ Revenue – High likes and comments don't necessarily translate to income. What matters is having an audience that trusts and buys from you. 1,000 True Fans Concept – You don't need millions of followers; just a small, loyal group of buyers can create a highly profitable business. Messaging Over Metrics – Your content should focus on attracting the right people with the right message, not just boosting vanity metrics. Audience Nurturing is Key – Building relationships and trust with your audience is more valuable than chasing viral moments. Long-Term Strategy Wins – Sustainable business success comes from consistent, strategic content and a clear value proposition, not just social media hype.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

She shares her own experience of personal responsibility leading to rapid growth and success. The Subconscious Mind Shapes Reality – Adele explains that 95% of behavior is controlled by the subconscious mind, and true transformation requires addressing deep-seated beliefs rather than relying on intellect alone. Curiosity and Urgency Fuel Growth – She highlights the importance of being curious about one's experiences and developing a strong desire for change. Transformation happens quickly when the need to change outweighs the comfort of staying the same. Identity Shifts Unlock Success – Adele stresses that success is not about doing more but about becoming a new version of oneself. Changing self-perception and beliefs about success is crucial for reaching the next level.

Dr. Ray also breaks down effective sales techniques, client engagement strategies, and the mindset shifts needed to thrive in the industry.

And once I really know and understand that system, it doesn't matter if I'm working with a Crossfitter, a powerlifter, an Olympic weightlifter, a field athlete, a pickleball athlete, I can run any sort of active person, any sort of person, really, through my system and come out with that same answer of what we're gonna do, how we're gonna manage it, it's just such second nature, because I really understand what that, that whole experience is going to look like.” - Dr. Ray Gorman   Let's talk about:   Hybrid Business Model for Sustainability – Blending in-person and virtual services creates a more stable and scalable PT business.

Then you reinterpret reality, and you regulate your nervous system, and then you're like, you know what, whether I have a lot of money or not, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because I can generate more of it, and I know how to generate more of it, and I know how to make good decisions.

    In this episode, we dive into the Soul, Brain, and Skills Blueprint, a transformative framework that every seven- and eight-figure business owner has mastered. This isn't just about strategies or quick hacks—it's about foundational principles that lead to real, lasting success. This episode is packed with actionable insights and real-world examples to help you build a thriving business from the ground up. Whether you're starting out or scaling, the pyramid principles will provide clarity and direction.   “I used to be like a mediocre coach, even though I thought I was good. And just being transparent with you, I wish I can go back in time, but you can't. That's what you learn and you grow and you develop skills. And I know with coaching, it's about getting in and being able to shift the way people think, right."   Keypoints to Include: The Importance of Being Before Doing Success starts with who you are, not just what you do. Adopting the right mindset, beliefs, and character traits lays the groundwork for sustainable growth. The “B-Do-Have” principle emphasizes that being the right person leads to doing the right actions, which results in achieving desired outcomes. The Soul: The Foundation of Success The soul represents your psychology and nervous system—your internal state matters. Stories of overcoming challenges like debt, failed ventures, and personal struggles highlight the importance of resilience and emotional regulation. Stress and burnout often persist, even with financial success, if foundational psychological issues aren't addressed. The Brain: The Strategy Layer Aligning your thinking and decision-making processes with your goals is crucial. Tony Robbins' principle: “Success is 80% psychology, 20% strategy”.

It's about consistently moving prospects through a funnel—from cold, to warm, to sold. This flywheel of attraction generates consistent cash flow and impact. Top of Funnel: Connection: At the start of the funnel, it's crucial to connect with cold leads. Whether through organic methods like podcasts, social media, or paid traffic, bringing new people into your world is the first step. You need to get them engaged and interested through strategic posts and content that resonate. Middle of Funnel: Warming Up: Keeping their attention is the next step. You'll need a solid content cadence and campaigns to nurture your leads and move them toward becoming warm prospects. It's not enough to share basic information—your content must build trust and shift beliefs. Bottom of Funnel: Conversion: Here's where you turn warm leads into paying clients. This involves using mini trainings, video sales letters, and other strategic content designed to build deep trust and push them over the edge to work with you. Own One Social Channel: Rather than spreading yourself too thin, focus on mastering one platform. Be it Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, pick a channel where your ideal clients are most active and double down on your efforts there. Your presence needs to be intentional and consistent, focusing on the right messaging and engagement.   Connect with me: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

    In this episode, we're joined by Adrian Dorsen, co-founder and CEO of Run Like Clockwork, a company dedicated to helping small business owners create systems that allow them to run their businesses efficiently without being the bottleneck. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the operational side of your business—whether it's creating systems, delegating, or feeling stuck in the day-to-day tasks—this conversation is for you! Adrian shares her journey from the corporate world, where she managed operational efficiency in large manufacturing organizations, to consulting small business owners. Her experience in Lean Six Sigma and operational efficiency paved the way to partnering with Mike Michalowicz, author of Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself. Together, they developed a proven framework to help entrepreneurs get out of the daily grind and build businesses that can function without them.   “Like, if you're not going to be paying more for it, then I would expect you to have some sort of system that you're going to hand off. And everyone has a system for what they do. They've, most of the time, just never documented it or thought about it. They just have it in their head.”   Five Key Takeaways: Small businesses can benefit from corporate-level efficiency systems. Adrian's experience shows that principles used in large manufacturing can be adapted to streamline small businesses. The 4D framework is key to operational success. Focusing on the right areas—delegation, documentation, development, and designing the future—enables owners to step back from the day-to-day. Systematizing your business is essential to scalability. Without systems, growth is limited, and the owner becomes a bottleneck, hindering the business's full potential. Taking a four-week unplugged vacation is a true test of business autonomy. If the business can thrive without the owner for this time, the systems are working as intended. Partnerships can elevate business impact. Adrian's partnership with Mike Michalowicz demonstrates how the right collaboration can exponentially grow your business and bring new value.   Connect with Adrienne: TimeTracker: runlikeclockwork.com/time  The Clockwork System (Course): https://theclockworksystem.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adriennedorison/  Connect with me: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland
