The Fitness Business Podcast with Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger

In 2024, you don't have to choose between being a sole caretaker for your child or being the full time CEO. We have so many examples inside of IFCA of women crushing it both in their business and in their child's lives and I wanted to bring on two mom's who work inside of IFCA that exemplify this and speak on this topic. Joining me today I have our operations manager Shelly Zemskov and one of our success coaches Leslie Lindsay who has been on the podcast a few times to talk about balancing business and motherhood, societal pressure on mom's, giving your kids an example of chasing your dreams, and more!

I used to think DM Outreach was the most scammy thing you could possibly do as a coach and I would spend so much time avoiding it doing other things that weren't building my business. After working with thousands of coaches, we've come up with the solution to DM Outreach and I'm going to share the whole system with you in today's episode.

If you aren't aware, there's a new "get rich quick" scheme going around that really pisses me off as an entrepreneur and coach to entrepreneurs. An MRR (not monthly recurring revenue which is a GREAT thing) stands for Master Resell Rights.

Listen in as I explain why this pisses me off and why building your own service based offer is a much better option.

This might be my favorite objection to help coaches with and if you've been unable to close calls for this reason or you are getting ghosted after a call, this is one to save and come back to multiple times.
