The Fitness Business Podcast with Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger

We're getting nerdy in today's episode talking math, numbers, and money. If you have an aversion to this topic, even more reason to press play because revenue and money is the lifeblood of your business and your future as a coach. I'm going to breakdown how to build and grow a 20k a month nutrition business by only signing 5 clients a month using a front end and back end strategy that will not only give you predictable revenue in your business but give your clients the best result and transformation for their hard earned money.   Time Stamps:   (0:42) My Story Growing A Fitness Business (2:29) Going From 10k Months to 20k Months (2:57) Signing New Clients vs Retention (3:52) Math on 10k A Month (7:07) How This Works Over a Year ---------- Whenever You’re Ready, Here Are 4 Ways We Can Help You (For Free)   (Community) Join the Fitness Business Secrets FB  Community to Unlock Your Free 5 Clients in 5 Days Mini-Course   (Content) Grab our exact post templates that are responsible for more than 3,500 online clients in our business Automated Post Planner   (Instagram) 3-5x Your Engagement, Grow an Audience and Generate Dream Clients from Instagram IG Playbook For Health & Fitness Coaches   (Get Clarity) Schedule a FREE No-Obligation 15-minute Call to Explore How To Add 10,000/Mo to Your Business–Guaranteed

Attention new online coaches! I recently had a conversation with a business owner that was just starting and while he had a lot figured out in terms of plans and deliverables, there was a big hole in his strategy. We don't have market demand yet and I see this with so many new coaches. What you think will happen and what actually happens might be the same but it might not and you'll never know until you launch, put a viable product out there, test it, and regroup to optimize. Listen to this episode if you feel stuck in the planning phase and need a push to the execution phase!   Time Stamps:   (1:05) Conversation With A New Coach (1:47) Questions I Asked Him (3:07) What To Not Learn If You Want To Stay Broke (3:45) Why Ads Work (5:12) Revenue Example (6:47) Fearing Judgement ---------- Whenever You’re Ready, Here Are 4 Ways We Can Help You (For Free)   (Community) Join the Fitness Business Secrets FB  Community to Unlock Your Free 5 Clients in 5 Days Mini-Course   (Content) Grab our exact post templates that are responsible for more than 3,500 online clients in our business Automated Post Planner   (Instagram) 3-5x Your Engagement, Grow an Audience and Generate Dream Clients from Instagram IG Playbook For Health & Fitness Coaches   (Get Clarity) Schedule a FREE No-Obligation 15-minute Call to Explore How To Add 10,000/Mo to Your Business–Guaranteed
