The 5 Stages of Client Attraction (And Why You're Stuck in Stage 2)

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.

Why Your Coaching Isn't Sticking (And the One Thing That Changes Everything)

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.

Why AI Is Blowing My Mind {Don't Get Left Behind}

Confession: I was completely resistant to AI for coaches until I discovered how to use it as a collaboration tool instead of a replacement. Now I'm saving 2-4 hours per week using strategic AI implementation, and my mind is officially blown. In this episode, I share my complete journey from AI skeptic to AI collaborator, including: The 3 biggest AI mistakes coaches make (I made them all!) My 2-week experiment testing ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini How I created 5 AI "specialists" for different business functions The golden rule: Great input = Great output Why AI collaboration beats replacement every time I reveal my 5 AI specialists: KPI Analyzer, Funnel Optimizer, Ad Strategist, Content Creator, and PR Machine - each trained with specific knowledge about my business and voice. Most importantly, this isn't about becoming robotic. It's about becoming more efficient so you can focus on what matters: serving your clients. My honest assessment? Coaches who resist AI may find themselves left behind while competitors get 3-10 times more done in the same timeframe. Ready to implement AI strategies that amplify your authenticity?
