What I Wish I Knew When I Started My Business

After a brief hiatus, The Best Coach Ever Podcast is BACK – and it’s better than ever!I’m kicking off my return by sharing my honest, candid thoughts about the things I *wish* I knew when I launched my online fitness coaching business in June of 2015.What I’m discussing today isn’t unique to me. I see other coaches (especially newbies) making the same mistakes I did, and that’s why I wanted to record this episode.Whether you’re just starting out, aspire to be an online coach or have been coaching for a while, you’ll definitely want to give this a listen. You’ll still make mistakes (that’s just part of it!), but this is a valuable opportunity to get advice from someone with the gift of hindsight who’s been there, done that and now has a 7-figure online coaching business.In this episode, I cover:My history as an online business owner [3:35]Lesson 1: You don’t need to be an influencer to make money online (and there’s a BIG difference between influencers and business owners!)
