It serves as the fundamental resource for sustaining and growing your coaching business. Without consistent revenue, your business may struggle financially, and its longevity could be at risk.Let me share Brian's story to illustrate this point. Brian, a passionate holistic health and wellness coach, initially focused on making an impact without prioritizing revenue generation. Despite having a strong online following, he struggled to convert his followers into paying clients. Neglecting revenue generation led Brian to face financial hardship and even contemplate quitting his business.However, when Brian restructured his approach and placed emphasis on revenue first, he was able to create one-on-one coaching programs. This eventually allowed him to transition to one-to-many programs, significantly boosting his revenue and expanding his impact.The Phases of Business Growth:Revenue Phase: This initial phase requires a focused approach on sales, marketing, and client relations to establish a consistent cash flow stream. It sets the foundation for future growth and success.Impact Phase: Once revenue is established, as a business coach, you can expand your reach and invest in products, coaching programs, and memberships. This phase is all about making a broader impact and creating a ripple effect through your work.Freedom Phase: With a solid business foundation and consistent cash flow, you can enjoy lifestyle freedom, financial freedom, and leverage in your business.
