The Missing Piece in Megan Huber’s $1M Coaching Business

In this expert coaching session, Dustin Riechmann works with Megan Huber, Community and Retention Strategist, to map out her three-year vision: creating a $1M business that delivers a consistent $60K/month take-home income. Megan shares her journey from high school teacher to running multi-million dollar launches, then pivoting into consulting for high seven- and eight-figure companies before returning to coaching with her signature Super Community model. Together, they uncover the central challenge in her business—her passion and expertise in retention and client success versus her ongoing lead generation problem—and chart a clear path toward a scalable, freedom-based business. If you’re an entrepreneur aiming to align income goals with lifestyle and impact, this candid conversation reveals what it really takes to build a coaching business that lasts.
