How Bartering Can Hurt Your Business

Welcome to season six of the Coach Pony podcast!

We are here to help you get paid to coach!

In this very cheesy eighties-themed season of the podcast, join me, Christie Mims, a career and business coach, and Bobbi Palmer, a dating coach, as we answer your burning questions about your coaching business. Bobbi and I have built six and seven-figure businesses of our own, and we’ve learned a thing or two along the way. And now, we’re sharing all that knowledge with you.

Today’s caller wants to know if it’s ever a good idea to barter services, and boy, do we have thoughts.

We’re going to dig into when it can work, why it usually doesn’t, and how to make sure you’re actually getting a good deal.

Listen to the full episode to hear about:

• Why you should only trade services when the offer is something you actually need
• How bartering can go sour when you don’t set and stick to expectations and boundaries
• Other ways you can stretch your dollars and set priorities for spending when you’re just starting out
• Why you have to treat a barter like any other business agreement
