Host Nik delivers a practical, self-reflective episode recorded from the gym. This episode challenges coaches to audit their own blind spots using a 10-question diagnostic, introduces the concept of coaching as a learnable skill requiring ongoing assessment, and previews a client re-engagement intervention method to be covered in depth in Episode 3.High performing coach Scorecard00:02Welcome & ContextNik introduces Episode 2, notes the gym setting, and flags this episode will be interactive — asking listeners to participate while they listen.00:40Self-Awareness as a CoachCore theme introduced: the importance of being self-aware as a coach. Nik teases a diagnostic tool linked in the description for a deeper blind spot assessment.01:30Coaching as a SkillCoaching reframed as an acquired skill, not an innate ability. Skill acquisition requires practice, feedback, and a continuous improvement loop.02:00Lack of Assessment in the IndustryChallenges coaches to ask: 'Have I ever genuinely been assessed as a coach?' Argues that Level 3 qualifications test instruction, not coaching.02:28Defining CoachingCoaching defined as creating an environment where clients can make conscious decisions on their actions, behaviours, and goals. Coaches facilitate; they don't dictate.03:30The Cost of No FeedbackOutlines the cascade effect of never being assessed: missed development → poorer client results → lower retention → less income and confidence.04:40The 10-Question Self-AssessmentNik introduces the scoring system (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree, max score 50) and walks through all 10 questions.10:00Score InterpretationBreaks down what your score means: 40–50 rare depth, 30–39 strong but inconsistent, below 30 is a retention risk.10:40Free Diagnostic ToolNik directs listeners to a free full diagnostic (link in description) — generates an immediate report with blind spots and actionable development areas.12:00Early Signs of DisengagementBridges to the broader series theme: recognising when clients are starting to disengage, regress in adherence, or drift in the relationship.12:50Preview: Intervention MethodTeases an intervention method used within the Connected Coach programme. Full verbal case study will be covered in Episode 3 with a question bank.Questions for the self assessment StatementWhat It Reveals1I can clearly articulate why a client is training beyond aesthetics and gym-based goals.Tests your ability to uncover the emotional 'why' behind surface-level goals.2I regularly check that a client's goals haven't subtly changed.Goals shift over time. Coaches who don't realign lose relevance and trust.3I regularly gather critical, unbiased feedback from clients.Testimonials aren't feedback. Are you proactively seeking honest critique?4A client could articulate the journey phases and milestones for the next 12 months.Measures whether clients feel a sense of direction and co-ownership of the plan.5I help clients see progress beyond scale weight, photos, and surface-level goals.Resilience in adherence depends on recognising non-aesthetic progress.6My clients understand why we do what we do.Understanding builds autonomy and reduces dependency on you to stay motivated.7I coach habits and behaviours — not just sessions and tick-box to-do lists.The difference between a trainer and a coach lives here.8Clients can describe how they've changed as a person since starting.Identity-level change is the strongest predictor of long-term adherence.9I adjust my coaching style to the individual, not my preferences.Everyone says yes — but without personality or communication assessments, how do you actually know?10I'm confident I'm not projecting my training values onto clients.Your relationship with fitness is not your client's. Projection erodes trust.

A real Olympian on our little podcast?! Athlete and lawyer Rich Ruohonen shows us all how excellence and commitment are good for business. And, more importantly, how standing up for what's right as both a citizen and a representative of the law is so necessary in our current cultural climate.  ---- Okay, so maybe you can't be an Olympian, but you can grow your business by pursuing your passions, investing in your community, and showing genuine care for those around you. Gyi and Conrad are honored to welcome Rich Ruohonen, the oldest-ever American winter Olympian, to talk about his experiences with the American Curling team in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Games. Oh, and for all you lawyers out there, Rich shares down-to-earth insights on how his personal injury law firm engages with their community.  Later, in the wake of the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, Rich was compelled to use the Olympic stage to speak out about ICE violence in his home state of Minnesota. He shares what that experience meant for him as both a lawyer and a citizen of our great country. Thank you to Rich for representing our country and the profession so well.

Are you a high earner in your 30s or 40s with a growing net worth — but somehow still feel financially stuck? You might be caught in the "boring middle" — a phase where your wealth is locked in home equity and retirement accounts, leaving you cash-poor, inflexible, and far from the financial freedom you've been working toward. In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, Scott Trench and Mindy Jensen sit down with CFP David Jackson of  Domain Money to break down the middle-class trap and reveal why the conventional advice to max out your 401(k) may actually be slowing your path to financial independence. David shares three powerful strategic options for DEWK households (dual-income, employed, with kids) to build liquidity, optionality, and tax efficiency — without sacrificing long-term growth. You'll learn the Liquidity First Optionality Framework (LaFaF), how to think about diversifying across Roth, pre-tax, and brokerage accounts, and why psychological freedom matters just as much as portfolio size. Whether you're chasing FIRE, reassessing your retirement strategy, or simply tired of feeling trapped by your own financial success — this episode is your blueprint.

One of the most common dilemmas facing coaches today is the struggle between being a "teacher" of information and a true "partner" in transformation. Much like the difference between knowing a concept and embodying it, these two roles are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a powerful client experience, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one. Today we look at why the age of information is officially over, how to transition from simply gatekeeping content to producing real results, and the foundational distinctions that separate an average coach from an extraordinary one. Whether you are a brand-new coach building your first program, a seasoned mentor looking to sharpen your leadership energy, or a leader trying to understand why your clients aren't getting the results they deserve, this episode is just the foundation. Over the next few installments, we'll be diving into our favorite coaching questions, the art of intuitive guidance, and much more…so make sure you're subscribed to catch the entire series!

When inquiries slow down or leads don't convert, most interior designers assume they need better marketing. But in many cases, the real issue isn't visibility—it's sales. In this episode, Kimberley Seldon is joined by returning guest and marketing strategist Daniela Furtado to unpack what a healthy sales funnel actually looks like in a design business. Together, they dig into the real numbers behind inquiries, close rates, and response times—so you can pinpoint exactly where opportunities are leaking out of your process. Daniela explains why looking at sales data without emotion leads to better decisions, how a surprisingly high close rate can signal underpricing, and why designers need to reclaim leadership in the sales conversation. She also shares her proven intake call script, designed to qualify clients faster and book better-fit projects with confidence. If you want clarity instead of guesswork—and a sales process that supports growth without burnout—this episode shows you exactly what to fix next. What you'll learn in this episode: - What realistic sales conversion rates look like at different stages of a design business - How to track inquiries and identify patterns in your sales funnel - Why emotion-free data leads to smarter, calmer decisions - When a high close rate is actually a warning sign of underpricing - How to qualify clients faster by leading the sales conversation - Why response time can make or break a deal - Creative ways designers are using sales data to generate new revenue streams Ready to build a business that supports your talent?

In this month's Shop Talk, Brianna and Whitney get real about navigating a chaotic start to the year while balancing the mental load of running a travel business. From wave season overwhelm to learning when to walk away from inquiries that don't fit, they explore what it means to lead with honesty in client conversations. Whitney shares her journey toward being more transparent about pricing and what it actually takes to create the level of experience clients are asking for. Together they unpack the importance of knowing your numbers, working backwards from budget or priorities, and refusing to people-please their way into unprofitable bookings. It's a candid conversation about setting boundaries, trusting your gut, and building a travel business that is sustainable because you stopped saying yes to everything.

We're taking you back into the room at our 2025 ALT Experience for a special replay from the stage. In this conversation, I sit down with founders and CEOs Meg Fox, Sara Trammell, and Allie Edwards to talk about what it really means to create a white glove patient experience inside a growing practice. Not the kind that feels forced or fancy for the sake of appearance, but the kind rooted in intention, standards, and leadership. We unpack how each of them defines white glove service in a way that fits their brand, and how they ensure it's felt consistently, from the first click online to checkout. We talk about greeting protocols, respecting time, managing late arrivals, rebooking systems, retail integration, and how small environmental details, from scent to lighting to language, reinforce trust. You'll hear how consistency across locations protects brand equity, why digital presence must match the in-person experience, and how to measure excellence through rebooking rates, reviews, call monitoring, and team accountability. This episode is honest and tactical. It's about setting standards, documenting expectations, training your team to deliver excellence without constant supervision, and balancing generosity with strong boundaries. If elevating your patient journey is part of your growth strategy this year, this panel will push you to think beyond personality and into process. And if you want to be in rooms where these conversations happen live, we have just a handful of tickets left for ALT Experience 2026.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about the shift that has to happen if you want clients this spring. Because at some point, building a coaching business stops being about organizing your content, fixing your bio, or cleaning things up behind the scenes…and starts being about actually creating momentum.   If you've been showing up but still wondering why clients aren't happening yet, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 461.

What kind of business are you actually running—premium or luxury? In this episode, we unpack the critical difference between commodity, premium, and luxury brands and why that distinction matters for pet sitters and dog walkers. We explore how most pet care businesses market themselves with premium messaging even though the service clients are buying is deeply emotional and closer to luxury. We discuss why feature lists like insurance, certifications, and software can unintentionally push you into price comparisons. And we explain how shifting toward lifestyle and identity-based messaging can attract the right clients and build stronger brand loyalty. Main topics:  Commodity vs Premium vs Luxury How Clients Actually Buy Premium Feature-Based Marketing Problem Luxury Identity and Belonging Aligning Messaging With Clients Main takeaway: Luxury buyers aren't asking what makes you better—they're asking, 'Are these my kind of people? For years, the industry has focused on features: insurance, certifications, software, and years of experience. Those things absolutely matter—but they aren't usually the reason a client chooses you. Pet care is emotional. People want to know that the person walking their dog or caring for their cat understands their values, their philosophy, and the way they see their pet. When clients feel that connection, they stop comparing checklists and start choosing relationships. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

You did the work. You delivered. The client was happy. And then… the relationship ended. Not because anything went wrong, but because there was no plan for what came next. That's the Deliver-and-Disappear cycle — and it's quietly costing you revenue. In this episode, I'll show you where it's happening in your business and how to restructure your client relationships so projects lead somewhere instead of ending in silence. Topics discussed in this episode include: The "Deliver & Disappear" cycle that's quietly capping your revenue. Why finishing the project shouldn't be the end of the relationship. 5 missed opportunities hiding in your current client experience. How to turn completed work into renewals, expansions, and retainers. A simple shift that makes retention, referrals, and revenue more predictable.

You're at mid six figures, your calendar is full, and you're still grinding for $20,000 projects. Meanwhile, there are enterprise and mid-market contacts sitting in your CRM right now who could write $200,000 checks, and you haven't called them because the small deals feel safer. In this episode, I walk through the exact WHO decision that keeps most tech consultants stuck in the project grind, and why safe doesn't scale. I share how one consultant, stuck at mid six figures with deal sizes of $15,000 to $25,000, made one strategic shift to stop chasing referrals and start activating the mid-market relationships already in his network. Six months later, his deal size was 10x. If you've got the right contacts in your phone but keep defaulting to smaller, faster deals, this episode will make you reconsider who actually deserves your time.Resources and LinksApply for a Multiplier CallPrevious episode: 669 - The Pricing Gap Most Consultants MissCheck out more episodes of the Paul Higgins PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube channel: @PaulHigginsMentoringJoin our newsletterSuggested resources

Have you ever finished a client session feeling more drained than expected even though nothing “went wrong”? You asked thoughtful questions, gave solid recommendations, and stayed professional… yet something felt off. In this episode, we unpack five subtle communication mistakes that often show up in follow-up sessions especially in telehealth and private practice. These aren't rookie errors. They're patterns thoughtful, competent dietitians fall into when juggling pacing, documentation, emotional cues, and decision-making all at once. The good news? You don't need to fix everything. You just need to identify one mistake that's costing you the most energy right now.

Inquiries are pouring in, but are you ready for them? In today's episode, I have the honor of introducing you to systems strategist Colie James. We're diving into how to handle a surge of visibility, fix common workflow mistakes, and scale your business without the chaos.

If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes after charges are filed, or if you simply want to better understand your rights as a client, this episode is for you.Steve Palmer dives into a question that many clients wonder about: Do you have a right to request discovery from your attorney, and what exactly does that process look like?Using his real-world experience as a criminal defense lawyer, Steve Palmer explains why sharing discovery isn't just good practice, but essential to your defense. He breaks down how discovery works in Ohio, what's typically included (think police reports, bodycam footage, test results, and more), and the legal gray area called “counsel-only” discovery—those parts of a case file that lawyers can't always hand directly to their clients.You'll also hear about the tug-of-war between victims' rights and a defendant's rights, and how experienced attorneys handle sensitive material to ensure their clients stay informed and protected.3 Key Takeaways:You Should Request Discovery: While there may not be a "constitutional right," clients absolutely should request a copy of their discovery from their attorney. It's your case, and your input is vital to your defense.Counsel-Only Discovery Exists: Certain sensitive information, especially in cases involving victims, may be marked "counsel only" and restricted from being shared directly with the client. However, attorneys can often petition the judge to share critical elements with their clients or experts when needed.Active Participation Matters: Clients are encouraged to actively review discovery materials and provide feedback. This collaborative approach ensures nothing is missed and supports a stronger defense.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

In this episode, Dee sits down with client Nicole, who shares her powerful journey of realizing that something in her body felt “off” after pregnancy — even though she was doing many of the “right” things.Nicole opens up about the frustrating symptoms that slowly became her new normal: constant fatigue, brain fog, and an inability to lose weight despite consistent effort with diet and exercise.

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, Justin delivers a wake-up call to financial advisors and business owners who are still using outdated marketing strategies. 80% of financial advisors struggle to break the $1 million revenue mark - this is usually because the owner is still acting as the primary technician rather than a strategic leader, and they lack the systems to convert prospects at scale without their personal involvement. Justin argues that the digital landscape of 2026 has rendered traditional "personality-based" marketing obsolete, and that scaling to a multi-million dollar revenue level now requires a transition from human-driven guesswork to AI-optimized systems.

AI could unlock India's digital economy and help make Indian companies smarter and more profitable. In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Akhilesh Tuteja, Partner & National Leader, Clients and Markets, KPMG India about AI in India, language AI, and how it could reshape India's digital economy and business growth.Artificial intelligence is transforming industries worldwide, but India may have a unique advantage. With a large population, diverse languages, and a growing startup ecosystem, it could unlock massive economic opportunity.

From AI powered customer insights and hyper personalisation to automation, document processing, and enterprise intelligence, artificial intelligence is already changing how Indian businesses operate.The conversation also explores the future of India's IT services industry, the role of startups and innovation ecosystems, and why AI may initially disrupt markets before creating even greater value.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Planning for a lasting legacy to protect clients and business continuity Creating a client-first culture by prioritizing guarantees over commissions Fostering radical transparency through honesty and owning mistakes Using trust and straightforward service to stand out in a commoditized market   Key Takeaways:  Preparing for the future keeps client trust intact even after the founder is gone. Documented processes and succession plans ensure smooth operations. Continuity strengthens reputation and confidence. Prioritize guarantees over commissions to align the team with client outcomes. Focus on what the client receives, not what the team earns. This builds credibility and trust. Honesty guides every decision and strengthens relationships. Owning mistakes openly fosters loyalty. Clear communication reduces friction. In a commoditized market, trust and client focus set you apart. Straightforward, consistent service matters more than product complexity. Clients remember integrity above all.   "Annuities are commodity products. We all sell the same thing.

Working with clients is a normal part of running a web development agency - but every once in a while you encounter a client who refuses to budge, even when their approach is actively hurting their own project. In this edition of the Web News, Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan discuss one of the most frustrating realities of agency life: stubborn clients who become convinced they've already diagnosed the problem. Whether it's a client insisting their website traffic issues are caused by technical SEO instead of weak content, or pushing for changes that won't actually improve results, these situations can quickly derail projects. Matt and Mike break down why these situations happen, how developers can redirect the conversation without damaging the client relationship, and practical strategies for dealing with clients who won't listen. If you work with clients - whether as a freelancer, agency owner, or developer inside a company - you've likely run into this scenario before.

Here's what I'm hearing in the field this week—real conversations, real patterns. 1 – Conferences don't end when the conference endsThe most important part of working a conference is actually after the conference. Most people do the "meeting before the meeting" well—setting up conversations ahead of time. Where 90–95% fall short is post-conference follow-up. Your follow-up plan should: -Be intentional -Start on day one of planning -Have a 6–12 month shelf life If the follow-up isn't tight, the conference ROI disappears fast. 2 – Your value shows up in the questions you askI keep seeing this: As someone's sense of value goes up, the quality of their questions improves. Simple. Direct. Curious. Too many people: -Take orders instead of guiding -Avoid asking deeper questions -Stay on the surface to feel "safe" But the real work happens below the surface. Better questions → better listening → clearer understanding of client pain. If someone is in the room with you, they already see your value. Step into it. 3 – Clarity removes friction—every timeHere's a simple rule I give clients: When managing people → they should always know what to do now and what to do next When working with clients → they should always know what you're doing now and what's coming next Over communicate. Confusion is optional. 4 – Knowledge isn't enough—translation is everythingYes, stay up-to-date with: -Podcasts -Articles -Real-time data -Industry signals But the biggest gap I see is here: Not explaining what it means to the client. They don't care how much you know. They care about: -What this means for them -How they should execute differently now -Translate. Simplify. Target it to their world"

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into high-performance strategies for business coaches—drawing lessons from Olympic athletes, the psychology of winning, the keys to building (and keeping) momentum, and the art of leveraging staff, referrals, and advertising for exponential business growth. Packed with practical frameworks, real-life stories, and Karl's signature analogies (from roller hockey to dolphins), the episode reveals why elite coaches and businesses succeed—and how listeners can replicate their approach for long-term results. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Olympic-Level Success Karl Bryan unpacks how the athlete's journey mirrors that of the ambitious business owner or coach—both must manage mindset at the beginning, middle, and end of their journeys. Lessons are drawn from Olympic stories, including Lindsey Vonn's career, transitions, and the psychological challenge of what happens "after the medal." Momentum: How to Build It and Never Lose It Elite performers hit the gas pedal after success, not before. Signing a client? Double down and sign another instead of celebrating too long. Karl shares why consistency outpaces one-time effort, and actionable habits for coaches to lock success rhythms in. Staffing and Leverage for Big Results Big goals require teams—not solo grinds. Karl explains the value of hiring "first-round draft picks" and why one A-player can outperform five mediocre hires. Firmness, not harshness: How to foster high standards and resolve staff conflict with presence, empathy, and accountability. The Power of "Selling Through, Not To" (Joint Ventures) Deep dive into referral and JV strategies: Why working with partners like accountants, business brokers, and promotional companies can 10x (or 50x) your business. Step-by-step: How to structure win-win "test drive" arrangements to gain referrals and scale with minimal cold outreach. Advertising: Shortcut to Growth or Costly Trap? Karl distinguishes between rushed, ineffective "hope" ads and smart, operating-system-led campaigns. Why many business owners should fix their system first, then advertise, and how to teach clients this discipline. Consistency and Demonstrating What You Want to Attract Building disciplined, consistent habits (like daily emails, weekly events) attracts committed, disciplined clients and JV partners over time. Notable Quotes "The elite hit the gas pedal after success. The non-elite celebrate too long." "You have to fall in love with the process, not the destination… If you hit the goal, and you don't have another, you fall backwards." "Don't do your best. Do what it takes." "Your biggest accomplishments will come through other people." "Advertising to profit is a superpower… but it's not a shortcut. You need an operating system first." "Hire slow, fire fast… The one who gets the best player wins the trade." "Demonstrate it, then you'll attract it—discipline is magnetic." Actionable Takeaways Always Set the Next Target: After you land a win—a new client, a successful event, or a JV, don't pause to celebrate. Immediately schedule and line up the next one to keep momentum compounding. Book Events in Batches: If live events work for you, don't book one—book ten at a time. This creates ongoing pressure and forward motion. Hire for Excellence: Treat each team addition as a draft pick. One top performer can be worth a handful of mediocre staff. Cultivate excellence and resolve conflict with empathy, not harshness. Initiate JV 'Test Drives': Approach JV partners (accountants, brokers, ad reps) by solving their biggest pain points—run a no-risk "test drive" for 3 clients and let your results sell you. Don't Rush Advertising: Before running ads, ensure the "operating system" of your business (or client's business) is air-tight—cost control, clarity of offer, and ability to handle leads. Leverage Proximity Marketing: Use lawn signs, "Good Neighbor Programs," and hyper-local advertising for service businesses—it's often the cheapest, most effective form of ad spend. Serve and Demonstrate Consistently: Showing up every week, delivering value, and embodying discipline/consistency will magnetize your ideal business partners and clients. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software 2.0 (by Karl Bryan)—business coaching's premier toolkit to help maximize client results and command high fees. Focused.com—Daily emails, coaching frameworks, and software demos for business coaches. The Six-Figure Coach Magazine—Karl's free magazine for business coaches. Networking/JV Sources: Target accountants, business brokers, advertising sales reps, and promotional companies for high-value partnerships. Good Neighbor Program: Local marketing system for service pros.

If you've been posting consistently — reels, carousels, stories, and emails — but you're still wondering why your content isn't turning into discovery calls or clients, this episode will help you fix that. Because here's the truth: likes, saves, and comments don't build businesses. Trust does. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I call the Trust Content Stack — the five types of content that build trust with your audience and turn followers into paying clients. Most coaches rely on educational tips alone. But in today's world, information is everywhere. People don't invest because you taught them something — they invest because they trust that you can help them get a result. In this episode, I walk you through the five content types that build trust from different angles, and how to rotate them so your audience naturally moves from curious follower to ready-to-work-with-you client.

The issue usually isn't that your content is bad — it's that your content is incomplete. Trust isn't built with one post. It's built through patterns of content that help your audience feel understood, supported, and confident that you can help them. If you're posting tips and you're not converting, it doesn't mean your content's bad. It usually means your content is incomplete… trust is built through patterns.   Authority Content: Showing You Know What You're Talking About Authority content proves you understand your audience's struggles and have a clear method to help them. But authority content isn't generic education — it's identifying patterns your audience keeps missing. Instead of sharing broad information, authority content diagnoses the real problem and introduces your approach to solving it. Authority content is… I see this pattern all the time, and here's what you need to do instead.   Proof Content: Showing That Your Method Works People don't buy because they believe your information. They buy because they believe in your results. Proof content builds trust by showing outcomes — through client wins, case studies, testimonials, or your own transformation. People don't buy because they believe in your information. They buy because they believe in your outcome.   Belief Content: What You Stand For Belief content is where you share what you stand for — and what you don't. This is the type of content that makes the right people say: "Oh my gosh, someone finally said it." Belief content positions you as a leader instead of just another coach sharing tips. Belief content is the content that makes people say… 'Oh my God, somebody finally said it.'   Objection Content: Addressing Why People Don't Buy Even people who like and trust you will still have objections before they invest. Common objections include: I don't have time I can't afford it I've tried everything before What if it doesn't work for me? Objection content addresses these concerns before they become a no. Objection content is where you address these before they become a no.   Invitation Content: Clearly Asking People to Take the Next Step This is where many coaches drop the ball. They share helpful content all week but never clearly invite people to work with them. Invitation content connects your content to your offer and clearly shows people how to move forward. Invitation content isn't pushy. It's clear… it's confidence… it's direct.   A Simple Weekly Content Strategy Rachel recommends rotating these five types of posts throughout the week so your audience constantly builds trust. Example structure: Monday — Authority content Tuesday — Proof content Wednesday — Belief content Thursday — Objection content Friday — Invitation content This keeps your audience warming up to your offer even when you're not launching. Your audience needs repetition… you're not looking for new constant ideas, you're looking for new angles on the same core problems.   The Biggest Content Mistake Coaches Make The biggest mistake Rachel sees coaches making is creating content that is: Too generic Too tip-based Too broad Not connected to their offer If your content isn't building authority, proof, belief, handling objections, or inviting action, it's likely just noise instead of strategy. I don't want you building a content hobby. I want you building a business.

In this episode, Chad breaks down the difference between the pain point driven client and the ROI driven client, why speaking to rock bottom is quietly killing your retention and close rate, and how raising your own standard as an athlete is the fastest way to call forward the client you actually want to coach.   Follow Us: Chad: https://instagram.com/chadmorganfit Caroline: https://instagram.com/carolinebiddle_rd Beyond Built: https://instagram.com/beyondbuilttraining Apply for Coaching: https://beyondbuilttraining.com
