As a business owner, your hustle, hard work and skillsets will eventually be the reason you get to your first few milestones. But in time, you'll realise those traits and skills need to be upgraded to reach further milestones. Old habits need to be forgotten, and new ones must be forged.

Your first diet probably got you a lot of attention. It might even be why you decided to become a coach. People got inspired, asked you for help and found you relatable. But as time goes on, it doesn't make sense to diet on and off all the time as a tactic to get business and exposure.

This 15-minute chat is aimed at those who feel a little flat in business right now. If you need a bit of a business injection? Grab a pen and notepad. I would be truly grateful if you could share on your socials and spread the love. 

It's true. And as with all my content, this comes from a place of learning. I've been the angry "why haven't you checked in?" coach. There's SO much more to coaching than check-ins. Sometimes we forget that and overemphasise its importance. Most of the time it's covering up an average service.

Marketing is great. But putting all that effort into marketing a product that has been built like Frankenstein could be killing your business... FREE BONUS TRAINING included.

These are so simple and yet so often overlooked. Personal Trainer - Point 1 is for you, Online Coach - Point 2 is for you.

I share one of the simplest yet effective strategies we use inside The Upgraded Coach™ program that works incredibly well every month. It warms up prospects, gets clients better results and helps previous clients. The best part? It takes 10 minutes to do.

Chris Irvine (Nitrafit) and I give you the inside scoop on a huge event coming to Scotland. Not to be missed.

Dan Hancock (The Mental PT) had me on his podcast a while back, and I feel the conversation could be useful for those who tune into mine every week. Dan has launched the first-ever Award in Mental Health & Exercise Coaching. We spoke in-depth about the pros and cons of transformation photos and so much more. Enjoy.

I feel pretty strongly about this. Purely because I continue to witness business and self-growth from the investments I've made and still make. One recurring theme with burnt-out vanilla PT's is that they refuse to invest back in the business. They are making coffee with a kettle and Nescafe right next to a Starbucks. 

In this episode, we dig deep into the most common coaching software for personal trainers and coaches. We weigh up the pros and cons, and I share my experience with previous apps and what we currently use with our clients to send their nutrition and training plans.

This week we are joined by our rockstar client and a true gent, John a.k.a Patty. I wanted to ask Patty some questions about his journey from a strict chicken and rice diet plan, excessive cardio and overtraining to now being the fittest and healthiest he's ever been. If you think cutting calories and eating bland foods is the only way to get in shape? This one is for you! 

This week we are joined by another superstar client - Michelle(we call her Shell). Michelle has brought so much to our community. She has also tried just about every diet under the sun.

One recurringly frustrating thing my clients have been asked over the years is "What do you eat in a day?" I'm guessing the reason people ask this question is that they are expecting some mad groundbreaking never heard of diet protocol? They definitely aren't looking for answers like its just consistency or patience or hard work. Have you ever messaged someone and asked that? Or do you get messages asking you this? Let me know.

The series finale is here. We round up this 5 part series ending on the most important question of all. Any service should be held accountable to the results it does or does not get. More importantly though, especially in the health & fitness game, it's about being able to maintain progress made. Enjoy.
