In Episode 133 of the “Best Coach Ever” podcast, we dive into why September is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your coaching business. First off, let’s talk about why I call September the “second New Year.” If you’ve noticed a slump in sales during the summer, you’re not alone, but now’s the time to snap out of it—buyer behavior shifts, routines are back, and people are ready to refocus on their goals. This is your chance to capitalize.
Next, let’s get real about the importance of niching down. If you’re still trying to serve everyone, you’re serving no one. Ultra-niche is the name of the game—get specific about who you help and how, or you’ll get lost in the crowd. And while we’re on the subject, your content strategy better be on point. Posting randomly or copying others won’t cut it. Consistency and intentionality are the keys to building an engaged audience that’s ready to buy.
Finally, if you don’t have a strong coaching offer, now’s the time to refine it. A good program doesn’t just have features—it gets results. And don’t forget, selling isn’t about being pushy; it’s about clearly communicating why your offer is the perfect fit. So, take this time of year seriously, dial in your focus, and build momentum for an even bigger 2024. And if you’re ready to level up, you know where to find me. Let’s make it happen.
