From Signing $1k Coaching Clients (With Guilt) to $1M in 8 Days: Mike Wolf on Building a Business That Funds Your Freedom

from Embodied Society Podcast: Where coaches and experts create 6-figure and 7-figure businesses · host Rebecca Barnheart

Mike Wolf never set out to be a coach. He started investing in real estate at 23 when everyone told him he'd fail. The best way to get him to succeed? Tell him he won't. He spent 37 years proving them wrong.Then something funny happened. All those naysayers? They became his first clients. They'd ask to pick his brain over coffee at Starbucks, and he'd always say yes. But they never did anything with the information. No skin in the game.When a mentor finally pushed him to charge, he felt so guilty asking for $1,000 that he'd take people to Cirque du Soleil shows and pay for their hotels. He was basically giving the money right back.But here's what changed everything: every time he raised his prices, the quality of clients went up. They were more serious. More likely to get results. He realized he wasn't doing anyone a favor by undercharging.Fast forward to COVID. Mike had been traveling full-time for over a decade when the world shut down. He got bored. So he took everything he'd learned at events like Brendon Burchard's Experts Academy and finally applied it. He launched online trainings, built an affiliate network, got on podcasts, and created his first real long-term mastermind.By day 8, he'd made over $1 million in revenue. From a side hustle.In this episode, we talk about:Starting real estate at 23 when everyone said he'd failHow his naysayers became his first clientsCharging $1,000 and feeling so guilty he gave it all back in perksThe mentor who kept pushing him to raise his pricesWhy higher prices actually serve your clients betterAdding a "done for you" revenue stream alongside coachingTraveling full-time for 12+ years while teams manage everythingGetting bored during COVID and finally going all-in on coachingBreaking 7 figures in 8 days with online trainings and affiliatesWhy the universe puts the right people on your path when your intentions are rightConnect with Mike:» WebsiteReady to sign clients every day?
