Your Offer isn't BAD...it's how you are talking about it.
Your offer isn't bad. When you put it out there and get crickets, when you're not making the impact you want even though you know you're incredible at what you do - it's not the offer you need to change. It's something else entirely. There are masterful, talented coaches who are struggling financially not because their offers are bad, but because of how they're talking about them. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 critical mistakes that keep brilliant coaches invisible, and why the solution isn't changing your offer - it's changing your language. You'll discover: Why "nobody bought your offer to tell you it stinks" proves it's not the offer The bottle label problem that keeps you stuck in coach language Why your clients aren't searching for "coaching offers" but specific pain point solutions The logical proof that your confusion is fixable (not your offer) Get details about my 3-day live training (October 7-9) where I'll help you fix how you talk about your offers and build the signature framework that guarantees results.
