Here's what I realized after working with hundreds of coaches: Most of you are spending 80% of your time on activities that feel productive but generate zero revenue. Meanwhile, coaches making consistent $10K+ months are doing something completely different. Busy doesn't equal profitable. Productive doesn't equal revenue generating. This episode was born from a powerful question inside the Best Damn Coach community: "Amanda, what exactly ARE revenue generating activities?" That question changed our entire conversation and became the foundation for this training. You'll discover: The 3 "productive" activities that keep coaches broke (content creation trap, education addiction, consumption paralysis) The definition of revenue generating activities that changes everything My daily 20-30 minute routine that consistently brings in new clients Why welcoming new followers, strategic follow-up, and direct engagement actually work Real client examples: the gym strategy, door-to-door approach, and LinkedIn authority method Plus: Get my free coaching questions resource and learn about the September deep-dive inside the Best Damn Coach community focused entirely on revenue-generating activities. Stop playing business and start building one. The power is always in the conversations and the follow-up.

Here's what I learned the hard way: You can invest in every mastermind, hire every business coach, and implement every strategy under the sun—but if your unconscious beliefs are sabotaging you, you'll stay stuck at the same income level forever. In this episode, business hypnotherapist Julie Costa shares her journey from 10-year Lululemon career to getting fired, building a thriving coaching business, burning out completely, then discovering the missing piece that changed everything. You'll discover: Why smart, capable coaches stay stuck despite having all the "right" tactics The 3 requisites for lasting change that most coaches miss completely How to build proof that success is possible (even without clients yet) The technique to interrupt negative thought loops in real-time Leverage your brain's inability to distinguish imagination from reality Plus: Julie reveals why most uncertified coaches aren't actually coaching (they're consulting). Stop trying to out-strategy your unconscious beliefs. It's time to reprogram the operating system that's been running your business behind the scenes.

When I started my business, I thought everyone getting featured on podcasts, in publications, and on stages was just sitting back waiting for invitations. Turns out, there's an entire "underground world" of pitching and visibility strategy I knew nothing about. The wake-up call: They weren't better than me—they were just playing a game I didn't know existed.

Spinning your wheels with client attraction? Posting consistently, showing up everywhere, but your client roster still isn't growing? You're not alone—and you're definitely not broken. After studying hundreds of coaches, I've discovered that 80% get trapped in the same two stages of client attraction, wondering why massive effort isn't translating to clients. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 stages every successful coach moves through and revealing exactly why most coaches get stuck in stages 2 and 3 (and what to do about it). The hard truth: You can be the most knowledgeable coach in your niche and still struggle financially if you're stuck in stage 2. Your clients aren't searching "how to feel empowered"—they're searching "how to say no to my spouse" or "how to ask for a promotion." Plus: I'm sharing details about my free workshop "Why Your Coaching Isn't Selling" on July 29th at 10am Arizona time, where I'll give you a 30-minute fix that changes everything. Stop being the best-kept secret in your industry. It's time to move from spinning your wheels to consistently attracting dream clients.

You know that sinking feeling when your client comes back having done literally nothing you coached them on? They said they wanted transformation, even paid for it, but somehow, between your session and their life, everything falls apart. The brutal truth: 90% of coaches are only speaking to 10% of their client's brain, while the unconscious mind quietly sabotages every strategy you give them. In this episode, I'm revealing the four critical mistakes that kill your coaching results and the ONE thing that changes everything. Spoiler alert: Stop coaching the goal and start coaching the resistance. Plus: I'm sharing details about my exclusive workshop "Why Your Coaching Isn't Selling" on July 29th, and how new Best Damn Coach members get 60 days of Voxer support to practice these techniques with real-time guidance.
