So as I said I allocate about 15 hours of my time a month to make $250,000 a month in net profit that is over $3 million a year now I want to make something very clear I did not start off at this place I remember the first time I ever did coaching was in 2017 I was running my agency at that point I was sharing what I was doing day-to-day on my YouTube channel and some people asked me hey can you coach me and show me what it is that you’re doing to actually build your business and I start off by charging $50 $100 an hour these days I charge $18,000 an hour.

Now before you freak out and you go that’s ridiculous that’s insane I just want you guys to remember when it comes to one specific industry which is the info Product Industry I the number one expert currently in the world in The Last 5 Years I’m the only person to have done eight figures in profit in low ticket mid ticket High ticket and I’ve done over $100 million in career earnings with 70 to 80% of that being in pure profit.

The Reality: From $50 to $18,000 Per Hour

Are you going to get to a point where in 15 hours you can make A4 million do a month in net take-home profit of course not but in the same way if you had told me back in 2017 when I was charging $50 an hour and by the way it would be $50 for an hour but if the call went on and we ended up speaking for 3 hours I didn’t care and that’s that’s kind of mindset you need to have when you first start.

When you first start you’re building a name for yourself you’re really showing the market that hey I know what I’m doing I’m willing to provide value I’m willing to go the extra mile so that is exactly what I’m going to show you how to do today.

So as I said I do that by coaching one on-one and today I’m going to show you how to make just $10,000 a month by implementing the exact steps that thousands of others are using to build profitable online coaching businesses I’m going to give you the exact four-stage process broken down into simple steps that literally anyone can Implement whether you’re just starting out or you’re looking to scale your existing coaching business.

The 4-Step Coaching Success System

So let’s get started we’re going to break this down into four steps:

Step number one is identifying your unique value Zone
Step number two is high ticket offer creation
Step number three is client acquisition system
And step four is special little bonus

Step Number One: Identifying Your Unique Value Zone

So step number one is really about identifying your unique value Zone and by the way if you don’t know what that is don’t worry I’m going to explain it here in a second you see before you are able to start coaching you need to find your unique value zone now I know everyone talks about Niche or a market I actually don’t think that that’s specific enough and here’s what I mean by that.

You see a unique value zone is a specific in demand problem that few people are solving where customers urgently need help and will pay well for Solutions okay the thing is when you are coaching people you are helping people go from point A which is their current situation to point B which is their desired situation it’s their dream outcome it’s what they want and by the way that Journey from point A to point B that can be in any different industry and it’s not just about making money okay.

Like for example you could be a coach and I’m telling you right now I guarantee if you spend all of your time studying and learning all the best mechanisms to help busy entrepreneurs for example such as myself reduce their screen time in order to have more peace profit and purpose in their life so that’s the outcome they’re achieving there’s a huge market for that.

Now you don’t need to spend 7 years becoming an expert I’m telling you right now in 3 to 4 weeks you could get to a point where if you became so obsessed with a unique value Zone AKA a specific mechanism okay your unique mechanism in order to solve someone’s problem and you just focus on that specific unique value zone I’m telling you right now within 3 to 4 weeks you can start coaching people on how to actually Implement those systems to achieve that dream outcome in their life.

Now I know this might sound complicated but honestly it’s actually quite simple as I told you all you’re doing here is you’re helping a specific group of people solve a specific problem or achieve a desired outcome you simply guide someone from point A to point B okay point a is their current situation pain and frustration.

Now as I said it doesn’t always need to be monetary their current situation could be pain and frustration surrounding their marriage okay and their desired situation could be you know learning how to communicate more effectively with their husband or their wife in order to have a one two three desired outcomes okay so you can implement this in literally any industry okay all you’re helping people do is a transformation from point A to point B that can be a massive transformation or it can even be something small.

How to Find Your Unique Value Zone

So how do you actually find a uvz you find your unique value Zone by breaking down your Market into three layers and this is what I mean when I say people are too they’re too up in a they’re too Loosey Goosey about like oh just have a niche it’s like okay cool that doesn’t tell tell me anything okay let’s get more specific let’s get more granular and when we do that it means attracting clients is that much easier okay.

So let’s actually go ahead and visualize this:

Layer one okay this all of these red dots right here this represents your market for example the health and fitness Market okay so that is your layer one.

Now Layer Two these blue dots okay that represents your Niche within a market for example weight loss for women that’s usually where most people stop okay they just go layer one layer two.

When really Layer Three is where all of the magic happens but no one seems to talk about it you see this right here these golden dots these represent your uvz your unique value Zone within your Niche for example weight loss for postpartum moms okay moms who want to lose weight that they gained during pregnancy okay.

Now you might be wondering well why do I need a uvz it’s very simple having a uvz allows you to specialize and charge more.

The UK Pub vs. Omakase Restaurant Analogy

Let me give you a very tangible example okay I don’t know if you guys have ever been to England I grew up in the UK okay so I’ve been to both UK pubs by the way on want to make this clear no on UK pubs I actually love pub food that’s just me personally but you’ll still get the point okay.

I’ve been to both UK pubs as well as high-end omakase restaurants these are quite clearly two very different kind of establishments.

Now the UK Pub approach:

Tries to please everyone
Offers everything from Burgers to Curry
Limited pricing power you know they can really only charge 10 15 pounds per dish
Customers come for convenience not Excellence

I don’t know if you guys have ever been to UK pubs but literally in one menu they’ll have like Italian Indian Asian like Mexican like all in one menu why because they’re trying to appeal to everyone and they have a generalist disadvantage because of it okay.

Now if you compare that to Japanese omakase restaurants:

They focus on one specific Cuisine
They are masters of their craft
They have ability to charge premium prices as a result of this
Customers come for a specific experience
They have a specialist Advantage

If you’ve ever been to an omakase restaurant you will know that omakase restaurants can charge thousands of dollars for a set menu while a UK Pub struggles to get 50 pounds per dish.

I know this might offend so many people right now but I’ll be honest I actually prefer pub food that’s just me so as I said it’s not that one dramatically tastes better than the other but because specialization creates perceived value that customers willingly pay premiums for okay really let that sink in.

And by the way a super fun fact I don’t know if you guys actually know this but omakase literally translates to I’ll leave it up to you you see when you dine at omakase restaurant you’re not paying for food you are paying to have one specific experience delivered exceptionally well by someone focused solely on that Cuisine.

And this my friend is exactly how coaching with a clear uvz works you see your clients aren’t paying for generic advice they are paying because you’ve specialized in solving their specific problem just like the omakase chef who has mastered one type of dining experience your focus on solving one specific problem allows clients to trust your process completely knowing that you are dedicated to that particular transformation.

The Client Transformation Flow

So this is really the flow here:

You have a specific client that is your target market
You have specialized solution that is your uvz
You have solution fulfillment which is obviously through the form of coaching
And then from that you will have a satisfied client every time

Now just like the omakase chef who has mastered one type of dining your focus on solving one specific problem allows clients to trust your process completely knowing you are dedicated to that particular transformation.

The goal is to go beyond generic markets and find specific problems that people are actively looking for solutions to I hope this is making sense.

By the way I want you to go ahead and leave a comment in the comment section and just let me know what is it about this topic and coaching in general that Drew you to click on this post in the first place I’m just genuinely curious like what is it about coaching that made you click on this article or maybe if you’re already a coach what Drew you to it in the first place.

Specialists Command Premium Rates

So guys really just here to summarize:

Specialists command premium rates
Generalists compete on price
Clients pay more when they trust your expertise
When you own a niche you can charge what you are worth

Okay generalist versus specialist earnings you can see that right here in terms of how much you can charge clients specifically once again this all goes back to a point I know some of you guys are like how do you charge $18,000 an hour that is ridiculous that is preposterous I would never pay that.

Ladies and gentlemen of course that’s not going to happen day one that’s not going to happen year one it’s not going to happen after 3 years probably it will probably be a 10-year Journey like it was for me by the way in my industry in digital marketing I’ve been doing this for 10 years and specifically advising and helping digital product owners initially I did it at my agency and specifically advising info businesses e-learning businesses course businesses anything in that sphere of selling info I’ve been in that space for 7 to 8 years now even back to my agency days that’s really what my agency helped our clients with.

So the reason I say this again is if you had told me when I first started out I was charging $50 or $100 an hour for coaching that I would get to this point I never would have believed it but I focus on being a specialist in one specific industry.

Now bear in mind I have businesses in many different Industries and I have investments in different Industries so that’s not to say that like all I do is just focus on one thing and that’s it I’m not allowed to focus on anything else of course that’s not the case but I knew that in order to make the sort of money I wanted to make in my life I really had to become a specialist and focus in on one specific industry and one specific unique value zone.

Two Types of People Reading This

Now I want to stop you right there because I know exactly what you’re thinking you’re going but I’m not a specialist in anything and this really takes me to my next point there are two types of people reading this post right now okay there’s really two main buckets:

The first is you are doubting whether you have anything valuable to offer

And the second is you already know what you’re good at and what you can help others with

So there’s really two main categories of people who are reading this article.

If You’re Type One (Doubting Your Value)

So if you’re type one okay and you’re doubting whether you have anything valuable to offer I have a question for you:

Have you ever learned a valuable lesson in your life have you
Have you ever overcome a challenge in your life have you
Have you ever developed a system that works for you a process or a system or something in your life you know maybe even a habit in your life that you developed that works well for you
Have you ever done something effortlessly that for some reason other people seem to struggle with

By the way guys I want you to expand your mind maybe you’re so ridiculously good at Excel by the way guys most people don’t know this but the highest earning uvz in the world okay the guy that made the most money with his uvz was an Excel program this guy coaches people and helps people go from beginner to advance with Excel.

So whether you just know maybe a little too much about Excel or maybe zapier Integrations or maybe and I know this might sound crazy to some people but there’s a market for all this stuff maybe you help people with trick shots in video games and you literally coach people on how to do it I’m telling you right now there’s truly a market for everything.

And if you actually verbally answered some of the questions you know one of the four questions I just ask you the answer is of course you have right your value is rooted in experiencing problems firsthand and finding Solutions.

Real-World Examples of Unique Value Zones

Maybe this might sound funny to you but maybe you had a skin condition maybe you had a rash that you had to overcome and you have to find a way to solve that okay great that’s your unique value zone.

I’ll give you an example maybe you are known as the person who turned their health around okay you went from being constantly tired and overweight to having amazing energy and getting fit and now your colleagues keep asking you how you did it they trust your advice because you’ve lived it okay you’re not just sharing Theory you are sharing what has actually worked for you.

Or perhaps you are known as a person who fixed the missed appointment problem okay you have worked in sales for years and found a way to turn your 40% no-show rate into a solid 80% attendance rate saving your company a lot of money every month.

Now by the way it’s very important that you have self-awareness here here’s what I mean your uvz is in the value you already provides to the people around you okay you just need to recognize it you see once you have your uvz you can then start to create your coaching offer.

Step Number Two: High Ticket Offer Creation

All right now step number two is high ticket offer creation Now I’m going to make this incredibly simple for you okay there are three key parts to your coaching offer that you absolutely need to nail:

Number one is the core problem what is the main high value problem that you are solving for your clients

Number two is the specific result what measurable outcomes in a specific time frame can your clients expect from your program

Number three is a unique solution what is the solution you’re providing and what makes it different to others

Let me break down each one of these so let’s start off with the core problem.

The Core Problem

Now the core problem is the foundation of everything we do as coaches it’s what creates demand for our services in the first place you see when you clearly articulate a painful expensive or frustrating problem that your ideal clients are experiencing you immediately capture their attention okay they feel understood they recognize that you get what it is that they are going through they feel seen they feel heard they feel most importantly understood.

The Specific Result

Next is a specific result you need to give clients something concrete to grab on to specific results are the bridge between the problem and your solution they answer the critical question in your prospect’s mind what exactly will I get from working with you.

The more specific and measurable your promised results are the easier it is for clients to justify investing in your coaching remember people do not buy coaching coaching is the vehicle in which to get them an outcome what they’re truly spending money on what they’re truly buying is outcomes that’s what they want.

Your Unique Solution (Mechanism)

And then we move on to Unique solution or what’s known as a unique mechanism now your unique solution isn’t just what you do it’s how you do it differently from everyone else this is where you showcase your methodology your framework or system that makes your coaching approach special.

What most coaches Miss is that clients aren’t just buying results they’re buying your specific path to those results they’ve likely tried generic approaches before and failed your unique solution gives them hope this time will be different.

You need to understand that someone might have the outcome of you know they don’t want to suffer from their autoimmune condition anymore now for some people their unique mechanism is to make them go vegan for some people they say okay you’re only allowed to eat meat for the rest of your life for some people they say okay you’re only allowed to eat this or you’re only allowed to eat at this it doesn’t matter.

Listen I’m not here to debate any of those specific cases the main point I’m trying to get across here is that there’s multiple unique mechanisms and by the way for some people they won’t like your unique mechanism for some people they’ll love it it doesn’t matter cuz the clients that love it will really latch onto it and they’ll understand okay cool this is a pathway to get my dream outcome and this coaching will show me through this this unique mechanism how to actually accomplish this.

Creating Your Unique Solution

By the way just so you understand creating a unique solution doesn’t have to be complicated the simplest way to start is by giving your approach and name that’s it okay just name what it is that you already do.

So to make this a little bit more granular let me actually just give you some examples okay:

Example one instead of saying I help busy parents lose weight you say I use the 20-minute method that helps busy parents lose weight without complicated diets so desired outcome without you know pain points or without things that they don’t want to sacrifice and you’re offering can even address maybe limiting beliefs or things that are holding them back.

I’ll give you an example instead of I teach beginners how to play guitar you say I use the three chord system that helps complete beginners play their favorite songs in just two weeks.

Let me give you another example instead of I help business owners to reduce appointment no shows you must say I use the three touch nurture system that turns 40% no-show rates into 80% attendance in just 14 days.

Are you starting to see the picture now are you starting to see how this all ties together and when you structure things correct like this you’re so far ahead of the rest of the market The Life just becomes that much easier and getting clients in your specific unique value Zone just becomes effortless becomes magnetic.

Your Complete Offer Statement

Now let’s actually bring this to life let’s put everything together in an offer statement so here’s the offer statement:

I help [audience] with [core problem] achieve [specific measurable results] through my [unique solution or method] without [common pain or obstacle] in [specific time frame] okay it’s as simple as that but You’d be surprised 99% of people don’t actually take the time to think about this stuff.

Once again going back to examples:

I help busy parents who struggle to lose weight achieve sustainable fat loss of 10 to 15 lbs through my 20-minute method without my bad typo complicated diets in just 6 weeks okay

Or let’s use other example I help complete beginners who want to learn guitar play their favorite song through my three chord system without spending hours practicing scales or feeling overwhelmed by complicated chord books in Just 2 weeks

Let’s move on to the third example I help online agencies with high no-show rates achieve 80% appointment attendance through my three Touch system without hiring more staff or spending on expensive software in just 14 days

Creating Your Coaching Offer Outline

So okay so now that you actually have your offer statement how exactly are you going to help your clients achieve that goal like I mentioned before you have to give your clients something concrete a tangible offer with a clear outline of all deliverables and expected results is the best way to do this.

So let’s go ahead and discuss your coaching offer outline you want to make sure that you have all the following outlined inside of your offer:

So here is the coaching overview:

Your coaching program name
General objective for example I help moms lose weight
Central goal which is specific transformation
Target audience
Key problems that your offer solves

Then you have your coaching structure:

Step-by-step breakdown which is the action plan
Clear objective why for each phase
Actionable steps how for each phase
What’s covered in each session call
And then timeline for implementation

Then you have your delivery format:

Types of session is a one-on-one is it you know a group setting
A session frequency and duration
You have your total program length
Access method okay so these are the platforms these tools that they get access to

Then you have your support structure:

Okay this is between session support is it 24/7 chat support
What’s the follow-up after program completion
What are the communication channels is it WhatsApp is it email is it slack
Response time frames
As well as Community Access if applicable is that something that they actually get access to is that part of your offer

These are all things to actually flesh out and decide and there’s no right or wrong by the way.

Then you have your resources and your worksheet:

Worksheets for after call sessions
Templates to help speed up the process
Tools
SOP
Resource Library access
Call recordings

And then what are the expected results:

Specific outcomes 80% no-show rate
Measurable improvements
Realistic time frames for example 90 days
Success indicators
Client transformation what’s some client Transformations you’ve experienced okay what are some past results that people can look to and go okay that’s something that I could do myself that’s something that’s accomplishable

And lastly what is the investment and value:

This is the math behind making $10,000:

If you’re charging clients $1,000 then you obviously you need 10 clients a month
$2,000 a client five clients needed
$5,000 client then you only need two clients a month

Can You Really Charge Premium Prices?

And by the way I know exactly what you’re thinking but can I really charge premium prices when I’m just starting out yes and here is why I really need you to focus on this next bit okay so please lock in focus and let me just break and unwire some of those wrong beliefs you have about pricing.

First things first specialization creates perceived value just like the omakase restaurant focusing on one specific problem makes you more valuable than generalist.

Number two transformation not information clients are paying for results ads not just knowledge okay and your focused approach delivers better outcomes for them.

Next high ticket clients are better clients they’re more committed they take action and they get better results creating a positive cycle.

And next is the 10x value rule when clients can clearly see that they’ll get 10x in value from your offer the decision becomes Easy.

By the way just understand that a lot of times when you’re helping people with their marriage or one specific part of their marriage or one specific part of their dating life that’s not to say that there’s a numerical value that they assign by the way you could help people become better Gamers you helping them with one specific skill that makes them a better gamer in whatever game they like and for a lot of people if you’re charging $500 for four calls with a client you know one call a week for a month for a lot of people that’s worth it.

I mean now that I’m saying it I probably pay $500 to have someone teach me how to be better at FIFA listen when I’m playing FIFA with the boys to spend $500 to make sure that I’m always the one that gets the last laugh yeah it’s worth it to me.

So there’s just so many Industries there so many sectors that this is applicable to okay and that’s why I say that you want to have a 10x perceived ROI on whatever it is that you are actually charging.

ROI Isn’t Always About Money

And as I alluded to earlier ROI isn’t always measured by direct dollars okay some Transformations are worth far more than money:

For the executive who can’t sleep at night due to stress and is risking his health
For the woman who’s tried 15 diets and still hates what she sees in the mirror
For the entrepreneur who sacrifice family time for 5 years and is still watching his marriage crumble
For the person who’s having panic attacks that leaves them homebound

You can’t place a numerical value on the stuff but for these people if you charge 2K 5K 10K whatever price it is that you charge and it is your unique value Zone it is your zone of Genius that you study with your unique mechanism they’ll pay whatever it takes okay they will pay whatever it takes.

When you solve these life-changing problems your price tag seems trivial compared to what clients get in return.

Step Three: Client Acquisition System

Now we can move on to the most exciting part of this whole thing step three is the client acquisition system so by now you should have your coaching offer you know the problem you solve the results you deliver and what makes your approach unique but how do you actually get clients.

There are really four main ways to get coaching clients:

Number one cold Outreach
Number two is paid ads
Number three is referrals
And number four is content and by the way this is my personal favor

So let’s break down how you can get clients with each one of these methods.

Method 1: Cold Outreach

Now when it comes to cold Outreach that includes cold calling email direct messages text now in order to figure out which cold Outreach methods to use you need to ask yourself the question where do my ideal clients hang out.

There’s certain industries where they’re always on the phone there’s other Industries where they never pick up a phone call in their life I can tell you right now you could be any person on Earth I don’t pick up phone calls if I don’t have the number saved I ain’t picking up a phone call.

So you could be a 10 out of 10 master of cold Outreach via phone I’m just not going to pick up your call and people in my age demographic in my industry you know they are used to doing stuff online we just don’t pick up phone calls now if you send us a DM or maybe even an email different story.

So this is really about knowing your ideal clients and what their behaviors are like and where they hang out.

So to drill this point home:

If they are company Executives they’re more likely to be active on LinkedIn where they Network professionally
If they are postpartum moms they might be in new mom Facebook groups sharing experiences and seeking advice
If they are Gamers or Tech enthusiasts they’re probably in specialized Discord servers
If they are your local auto detailing company well then they’re probably on Google Maps collecting reviews from satisfied customers

Figure out where it is they hang out and choose the Outreach method that best suits that platform.

Method 2: Paid Ads (Not Recommended for Beginners)

Now I want to make something very clear when starting out running paid ads is often a bad idea and bear in mind this coming from a person when I had an agency for 6 years four of those years I was working with coaching info course businesses like I know that market super well it’s what we did as an agency for 4 years and I still don’t recommend it especially in today’s climate it was tough back then now it’s even harder.

Now that’s not to say don’t do it at all I’m just saying it’s difficult and especially you in your current situation when you’re first starting out this is especially why you should be cautious:

You haven’t validated your market yet
You don’t know if your offer actually even resonates with people
You risk wasting money on an offer that the market doesn’t even want
You haven’t refined your messaging through real conversations

My recommendation personally is stay away from Paid ads until you’ve surpassed at least $10,000 a month through organic methods first.

Method 3: Referrals

Now let’s talk about referrals referrals are the most powerful source of clients once you start getting results okay you need to understand that happy clients who get great results will naturally want to refer others to you.

Now in order to maximize referrals:

Over-deliver on your promise to every client
Create wow moments throughout the coaching experience
Directly ask satisfied clients if they know others who could benefit
And consider offering a referral incentive maybe that be a discount or even a free next month a bonus session or maybe just directly money back in their pocket

Method 4: Content & Micro Personal Brand (My Favorite)

And last but not least my favorite way to build lead flow for your coaching business organic content more importantly creating content to build a micro personal brand.

We’re not trying to get famous here we’re not trying to be Mr Beast but just creating content specific to your uvz once again remember that’s your unique value Zone audience quality is far more important than audience size.

Remember the goal should not be to go viral here it should be to build a micro personal brand that drives business growth.

To give you the high level overview you build a micro personal brand by putting out content that speaks directly to your target market you create content to reach your target audience to convert them into customers voila this will create inbound leads for you to message and eventually convert them into coaching clients.

Step Four: How to Become an A-Player Coach

Now I want to give you guys a little bonus how to actually become an a player coach you see becoming a great coach starts with one thing it starts with putting yourself in your clients shoes you need to understand what your clients actually want from coaching clients don’t just want advice okay they want a solution to their problems.

These are some questions that your clients will be asking themselves:

Question number one can this person solve my problem
Question number two do I feel supported in this
And question number three is this worth the investment

But you can only help them if you truly understand their problems which by the way is why it’s crucial to deeply understand their current situation their desired destination and the specific obstacles that are standing in their way.

The Doctor Approach

And for this you take the doctor approach you see just like a doctor needs to examine their patient before prescribing a treatment a coach must first understand their client before guiding them in the right direction.

Which is why in order to be a great coach you must get good at asking the right questions and listening to your clients:

Where are they currently at
Where do they want to get to
What’s stopping them from achieving their goals

You need to ask yourself these questions every check-in call that you have with the client they will help you internalize exactly what steps the clients needs to take to get to the next stage of their Journey.

It’s very easy like when it comes to selling and being a better Coach when you speak to your clients that’s one of the reasons I love coaching cuz you find out so quickly about a market it’s crazy how quickly you become expert in a market by actually coaching people cuz you start to spot the patterns.

You know you’ll work with 10 people and be like wow they all have the same problem or they keep using the same word like even me in my 15 hours a month of coaching that I tell my team I’m willing to do and I allocate time for there’s usually about three terms that I keep hearing again and again and again and one of them is always the biggest desire of my market.

So whenever it is that I actually craft my offers I do my messaging I always make sure to address that thing because I found it out through coaching and I also find out what their biggest fears are what their biggest pain points are and when I do that real time through coaching I can also use that in my marketing and my sales and address those problems before they even Bubble Up.

Professional Call Setup

Next is call setup you see before taking your coaching calls make sure you have a professional setup:

Outfit dress to match your prospect listen you don’t need to show up in a three-piece suit okay it could just be a t-shirt also it depends on what industry you’re in now maybe if you’re working with Gamers for example and you’re coaching Gamers maybe a hoodie is fine every industry is different in my industry I can’t look like a slob but I also if I show up in a 3-piece suit it’s a bit like okay bro like chill it also has to do with you know what age your coaching clients are my coaching clients are usually from the age of 25 to 40 like kind of in that territory.

Next is your audio by the way you don’t need a super professional expensive mic but you must make sure that your audio is good one of my favorite things to do especially if I’m traveling and I have coaching calls I just use ear pods ear pods are like $30 they have amazing audio quality and yeah they just do the job always.

Next is your background keep your background simple IE a white background or for example you know even me in my home office this is just I just painted as black it’s just a black background it’s simple does a job.

Lighting make sure your face is well lit and clearly visible whether that means facing a window whether that means just getting a small little light source like for example I have this little light source in front of me whatever it is but just make sure your face is well lit.

The Proven Call Structure

Next is the call structure below is the exact proven framework my coaches used for years to coach 10,000 plus students by the way I had an info product that I had for years and there was about an 18-month window where we actually offered six one-on-one coaching calls for our students and I think in that time frame I mean it’s 10,000 but to be honest there was probably close to about 15 to 20,000 students actually got a one-on-one coach so we’ve got this process down to a tee trust me we know how to deliver coaching better than anyone else on Earth.

First things first is intro next you want to set the agenda for the call next is the transition then you also want to coach the client and then you want to set actionables and wrap up the call so let me actually go ahead and break down each one of these in a little bit more detail.

Intro the intro is all about building a rapport this should be very natural and conversational get to know your client and make them feel comfortable for example uh John on a scale of 1 to 10 how are you feeling about your progress thus far John what’s one win no matter how small that you like to celebrate from this past week.

Next is the transition the transition is where you will go from Rapport building to setting the agenda about what he’ll be coaching on for that specific week you can change your tone to make it clear that you are serious about getting them results so here as I said you want to dive straight into the agenda of the call and you want to change tone glad to hear you’re doing well on a personal level is it cool if we jump straight into week X so let’s say for example week number three of your coaching.

Then you want to set the agenda and this is really all about explaining how the call Will pan out which will put you in a position of authority allowing your client to know what’s to come so set the agenda and build Authority because of it today’s call is all about X we will go over week y action plan so that way you can do Z.

Next is obviously coaching the client and obviously this is the most important part of the call and this is where you should spend most of your time by the way it’s where you’re going to take your clients through the action plan which you would have built out while creating your offer the action plan is a step-by-step you will take your client through to achieve their desired outcome.

Now at the end of each call you’re going to go over the actionables with your clients make it clear to them that they must complete these tasks before the next call to ensure that they are moving with speed and getting closer to their goals always double check with your client to make sure they understand what they need to do and that they know where to find everything they need to actually complete the tasks.

Please never forget after every single call you must also check in with your clients checking in with your clients after your calls and supporting them is a coaching fundamental always go above and beyond for your clients and show them that you actually care about their success quite frankly this are non-negotiable.

Handling Difficult Clients

Now real quick let’s talk about handling difficult clients you see before you start coaching just know this every client is different and some will be more difficult to manage than others and that’s totally okay by the way now listen:

Some clients might be late or Miss calls in order to counteract this make sure that every call is booked ahead of time and set expectations in terms of rescheduling in advance.

Some clients will progress more slowly than others that’s fine be open about identifying what’s causing the client to progress slowly and discuss ways to overcome that.

Now some clients might just be resistant to change in general that’s fine always come from a place of understanding but highlight that in order to get better results you need to change their status quo.

Some clients quite frankly will just need you to hold their hand that’s fine okay check in with them more often and make sure they have all the resources they need to actually progress.

You need to understand that when it comes to coaching there’s no one size fits-all approach you have to be able to empathize with your clients and understand what gets them ticking.

Your Complete Roadmap to $10K/Month

And there you have it every step you need to actually build a $10,000 per month coaching business in 2026 and Beyond now as mentioned I have made over a 100 million in the info product space and coaching is a Cornerstone of that success.

So all of that to say that I’m going to do something very special for you guys here today now as many of you know I’ve actually closed all public enrollments to monetize where we give you everything you need to start and scale your online coaching business in 2026 and by the way that includes multiple of my software companies to actually help create your entire coaching offer deliver the coaching sell the coaching everything you could ever need to build out your offer sell it Market it literally everything including training for myself and a course to literally show you how to implement everything as well as the software stack.

But here’s the thing because you have read this far I know that you’re different from 99% of people who just consume content without implementing so for those who are truly serious about building a profitable coaching business in 2026 I’m making a limited exception.

So I’m going to go ahead and reopen monetize and select a few clients to let in this month cuz as I said from the point in which we launched it we haven’t reopen it publicly again yet but I just want to make something very clear with the amount of value we give inside and by the way I give you access and seats and licenses basically to my software companies that if you add them all together is more expensive than monetize itself.

So I actually have to pay my other software companies for every person that joins monetize and obviously because of the crazy amount of value we have inside I want to make it clear this is not free and it’s not cheap either.

But if you are serious about building a $10,000 month coaching business in 2026 and Beyond and by the way 10,000 is where we start then we focus on getting to 30 50 100 am I saying 100% you’re going to do of course not but do you think you could probably learn from someone who’s done $100 million in the space and the biggest industry leaders and experts and businesses in the space go directly to me and they only come to me because they know that I’m the number one expert in the space.

So am I saying that you can make a $100 million with this no of course not but to get to you to $10,000 if you work with me you work with my team you implement you use the software stack you use the program for sure that is doable.
