How would you like to make half a million dollars/year, charging $3750/month for 2 coaching sessions?If that's the kind of business you'd like to run, this is a conversation you can't miss, because that's exactly what Barrett Brooks has built.Barrett coaches 7-figure creators and founders. Most of them come to him to hit specific revenue numbers, and they often do that, but the secret is that it's not usually a tactic or external thing holding them back.It's usually internal, and they'd never have found out their own emotional or psychological block before working with Barrett.This is why he can charge what he does, and why he gets the results he does. We talk business, but we also test out something crazy...Barrett coaches me live for the last half of the call, and I think you'll find it incredibly relatable and helpful. (Also, on a meta level, seeing someone coach, live, is one of the best ways to "prove" your value to potential clients, so as coaches, try to find a way to do this. Barrett does it here, but also gives another way he's done this to get his first clients.)In This Episode:0:00 Intro0:41 Barrett's entry into coaching2:59 From COO to Coach6:15 Why Barrett coaches 7 figure creators13:17 How Barrett Makes $45000/month Charges $3750/month17:37 First clients with LinkedIn22:37 Barrett coaches me LIVE44:29 Coaching review47:08 IntegrationResources:Little Leadership Lessons Newsletter: https://barrettbrooks.com/Coaching with Barrett: https://barrettbrooks.com/coaching/Barrett Brooks on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrettabrooks/Internal Family Systems: https://ifs-institute.com/
