What Your Clients Are Really Paying You For
Are your coaching clients really paying you for Voxer access, modules, or coaching sessions? In this episode, I reveal the three essential components that clients are actually investing in when they hire you as their coach. If you've ever struggled with pricing your services or questioned your value as a coach, I provide a powerful reframe that will change how you view your coaching business. I break down why proximity, accountability, and implementation are the true drivers of client results—and why implementation might be the most critical component you should double down on right now. You'll learn why adding more "stuff" to your coaching packages isn't the answer and how focusing on these three elements can help you create raving fans who get better results. Plus, I share exciting updates about our Best Damn Coach community and a special limited-time offer that includes direct Voxer access to me for new members.
