You need results, communication, and business skills that actually pay.In this episode of the S&C Business Club Podcast, I break down why chasing certifications is costing you more than money. I share my own journey — from falling for sales funnels, to building my own certification, to walking away from meaningless tick-box workshops. More importantly, I reveal what coaches really need to build financial independence:✅ Results that matter✅ Communication & emotional intelligence✅ Business skills that open doors (and wallets)If you’re undervalued, underpaid, and wondering how to make this career work for you, this is the wake-up call.📘 Download your free Side Hustle Playbook → https://sportlandconsulting.acr.fit/makeextracash📧 Or email me: [email protected]:00:00 – Cert inflation is real (and it’s costing you)02:10 – Falling for funnels & the Soviet coach myth05:00 – Why most certs don’t get you jobs09:20 – What you actually need: results, communication, business15:00 – Lessons from contracts, law, and losing a job20:30 – How business skills open the world of opportunities25:00 – The Side Hustle Playbook (free resource for coaches)28:00 – Reclaim your independence & raise the standards of the profession👉 If you liked this episode, send it to a friend and let’s raise the standards together.
