Clients on Demand

In this episode, I sit down with one of my all-time favorite clients, Joseph Clough. You may know him from his wildly successful hypnotherapy app with more than 3,000 audio sessions… but what most people don't realize is that Joseph struggled for years to build the business side of his coaching. He was charging low prices, trying to help everyone, and wondering why his impact—and income—weren't matching the quality of his work. Everything changed when he made one simple shift. He stopped trying to serve the entire world… and started serving the people he could help at the highest level: entrepreneurs battling imposter syndrome. That decision became the foundation for his premium Mind Mastery program—now responsible for transforming nearly 170 clients. Inside This Conversation • Why trying to help everyone actually dilutes your impact Joseph shares how generalizing kept him invisible, and how niching down finally allowed his work to cut through the noise. • The power of understanding your ideal client's real, internal problems We talk about how Joseph began speaking directly to the fears and blocks his best clients were quietly battling. • Getting over pricing fear How Joseph moved past years of reluctance and learned to charge what his results were actually worth. • Why high-ticket programs lead to better outcomes We explore the mindset shift that turned his coaching from "information" into real transformation. • Building a community that lifts every client higher Joseph shares why creating a supportive environment became one of the biggest multipliers in his business. We also dig into Joseph's personal journey with anxiety and imposter syndrome—and why coaches who've walked through the fire themselves often make the most powerful guides.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jesse Elder for one of the most raw, unfiltered, and important conversations I've had in a long time. So many brilliant coaches struggle to build a profitable business—not because they lack skill or heart, but because the game has changed. And most people are still trying to win using a rulebook that stopped working years ago. Jesse and I get into all of it. Highlights from the Conversation • The "authenticity apocalypse" Why AI is going to wipe out every coach who's faking it—and why the real, grounded, embodied coaches will rise to the top. • Blending spiritual wisdom with strategic precision How to integrate deep inner work with the practical actions that actually grow a business. • Money as oxygen Jesse's philosophy on treating money like breath, and the wild story of what happened when he gave away millions. • The real spiritual path Why starting a business will grow you spiritually faster than sitting in a cave, doing breathwork, or reading 200 self-help books. • What humans can do that AI never will The enduring advantage we'll always have—and why coaches who understand this will dominate the next decade. A Key Insight I Share in This Episode One thing I tell my clients all the time: If you want real spiritual growth, don't go meditate in a cave. Go start a business. Because business will show you every fear, every story, every insecurity, every belief you've been avoiding… and force you to confront all of it. That's where the real transformation happens. This conversation goes deep into the mindset and energetic foundations of sustainable success—the kind where you hit your income goals and actually love your life.

Today I'm going to share something that completely surprised me. We tested a funnel that generated $13 for every $1 we spent on ads - but here's the thing, it goes against everything most coaches think they know about webinars. In this episode, I break down exactly what we did and why I think it worked so well. Fair warning: your results may be totally different, but I believe you deserve to know what's working for us right now. What I Cover in This Episode: 🔥 The trust problem I'm seeing everywhere in the coaching space (and my theory on why it's happening) 💰 Real numbers from our test - I'll show you exactly what we spent and what we made back (no BS) 🎯 The webinar strategy that got us 90% show rates when our free ones were getting 30% ⚡ The psychology shift I noticed when people invested $27 vs getting it free 📈 Complete funnel breakdown - every step from Facebook ad to high-ticket enrollment Why I Think This Works (You'll Have to Listen for the Details): I dive deep into what I call the "trust recession" and why I believe prospects are more skeptical than ever. I also share my formula for building trust quickly - it's simple but powerful. Plus, I walk through our exact webinar structure and why we charge $27 for something most coaches give away free. The psychology behind this might surprise you. And here's something cool - 65% of people who bought the $27 ticket also upgraded to our $27 VIP option. I'll explain exactly what that includes and why I think it works so well. The Real Numbers (What Actually Happened): We spent: $10,000 on ads We made back immediately: $5,000 from ticket sales Final result: $65,000 in high-ticket sales Net return: About 13x our investment Important: These are our specific results from one test. Your results will likely be different based on your market, offer, and execution. I'm not suggesting you'll get the same outcomes. Perfect If You're: ✓ Struggling with low webinar attendance ✓ Having trouble converting cold traffic ✓ Tired of attracting people who aren't serious ✓ Looking for a more predictable way to get clients Want to see the visual breakdown?

Meet Iddo Tal – a coach who went from struggling to enroll clients to consistently signing $5K+ premium clients with confidence. Look, I get it. You're probably grinding it out for pennies on the dollar while watching other coaches land those big-ticket clients. Iddo was EXACTLY where you are right now. Undercharging. Overdelivering. Hustling his ass off just to scrape together enough clients to pay the bills. But then something clicked. Iddo made ONE simple shift that changed his entire business overnight.

How did my company, Clients on Demand, generate over $100 million in high-ticket coaching sales? It all comes down to one powerful, 30-minute presentation. In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact structure of the masterclass that does all the heavy lifting for our client attraction. This isn't about posting 400 pieces of content a week. It's about having one core asset that takes someone from a cold ad-click to an enrolled high-ticket client in 24-48 hours. I'll walk you through the entire framework, from the initial hook to the final invitation, so you can apply these principles to your own business. In This Episode, We Discuss: 01:45 The simple, two-page funnel that powers our entire business. 04:30 Why most people fail when they try to copy this model (Hint: they mess up the video). 07:15 The "Outcome + Curiosity Hook" formula for an irresistible title. 12:00 How to describe your audience's problems so vividly they automatically assume you have the solution. 17:30 The "Big Reframe": Turning their problems into symptoms of a bigger issue only you can solve. 22:10 The Five Core Belief Shifts your presentation MUST create (and why you should never "teach"). 26:45 The "Old Way vs. New Way" technique to eliminate all your competition.

Most entrepreneurs fail not because they lack business knowledge, but because they're psychologically unprepared for the journey. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. After building my $100 million coaching company, I'm sharing the 20 books that provided the mental framework for my success. Out of over 1,000 books I consumed during my entrepreneurial journey, these are the only ones that actually moved the needle. In this deep-dive episode, I'm giving you my complete ranking system and explaining why mindset work isn't just "nice to have" – it's the difference between entrepreneurs who scale and those who sabotage themselves. What Makes This Different: Real rankings based on my 9-figure business results, not theoretical advice Insights from working with 6,000+ coaching clients across all revenue levels My honest assessment of which books are life-changing vs. just "really good" Specific examples of how each book category applies to business challenges I've faced The psychology behind why I think successful entrepreneurs think differently Key Topics I Cover: The map of consciousness and how I discovered emotional states affect business output Why I learned negative emotions are messengers (not enemies) in entrepreneurship My scientific approach to manifestation and goal achievement Copywriting fundamentals that convert cold traffic (I still use these) Ancient leadership principles I apply to modern business challenges How I create systems that generate profit automatically The difference between attachment and awareness in business building Want to see the visual breakdown?
