🎙️ Character Over Hacks — The Inner Game of a Long-Term Coach

Coaches don’t fail because they don’t have enough strategies. They fail because they’re trying to shortcut what can’t be skipped.

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I share exactly why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck chasing tactics, hacks, and templates — and why none of those will create long-term success without personal leadership, consistency, and real inner work.

Here’s where we go deep: 🔥 Why hacks are helpful tools — but not your foundation 🔥 The biggest reason coaches quit after they “succeed” 🔥 What most people don’t understand about the quiet seasons in business 🔥 How to keep showing up when results take longer than you expected 🔥 The tree roots metaphor I teach my private clients

If you’re serious about building a coaching business that lasts — this is where the real work starts.

🎙️ The #1 Reason Your Marketing Isn’t Converting (It’s Not What You Think)

Let’s get honest, Coach.

You’re showing up. You’re posting. You’ve downloaded the templates. Maybe you’ve even batch-recorded content like a boss… but it’s still not landing the way you hoped.

So what’s going on?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many coaches aren’t seeing results from their marketing—and spoiler alert: it’s not your strategy, it’s your mindset.

We’re diving into:

What I call “Doubts Over Data”—and how it sabotages even your best efforts
Why your fear of being seen starting small is keeping you stuck
The hidden cost of ignoring your first followers
5 core mindset traps that block your visibility, connection, and conversion

This is for the coach who’s ready to stop overthinking and start executing with clarity, confidence, and consistency.

You don’t need perfect content to grow—you need intentional visibility, rooted in belief and practice. Let’s walk through it together.

You Don’t Need Millions to Start Building Wealth

We’ve been told a lie—that building wealth is only for people who already have it.

But what if you didn’t need a trust fund, a high-paying job, or perfect circumstances to start building real financial freedom?

In this episode, we’re throwing out the old rulebook and having an honest, powerful conversation about what wealth really looks like—and why you can (and should) start building it right now, exactly where you are.

We talk about: ✨ The myth that you have to be rich to get rich (and who benefits from that idea) ✨ Why waiting to “feel ready” is costing you more than you think ✨ What real wealth is—freedom, options, and alignment—not just a number in your bank account ✨ How connection, not hustle, is your greatest asset

If you’ve ever felt behind, not “qualified” enough to grow your money, or unsure where to even begin—this is your reminder that you’re not behind. You’re just beginning.

🎧 Hit play. Then send this to the most powerful person you know who’s been waiting for permission. Because this is it.

🎙️ When To Sell More Than Coaching The Amanda Kaufman Show

Let’s be real—coaching is powerful, but it’s not what your audience is actually buying. 🙅‍♀️

In this episode, I’m unpacking a truth that changed everything for me in my business: if you’re just selling coaching, you're missing the mark. People want outcomes. They want clarity. They want transformation. And they need to trust you before they ever care about your process.

I’ll share: ✨ The moment I realized why people weren’t enrolling ✨ Why your “menu of services” could be killing your message ✨ What I did with a list of just 8 names that sparked real momentum ✨ Why visibility isn’t just for extroverts—it’s a skill ✨ The power of clear, specific messaging (and how to find yours)

If you’ve been feeling stuck trying to “market yourself” or constantly tweaking your offer with no real traction—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need to shift from best-kept secret to in-demand expert.

🔥 New episode just dropped! 🔥

Let’s be real: hustle will only take you so far. But presence? That’s your real superpower.

In this episode, we explore how your physical presence is silently shaping your success—and how to lead with more ease, alignment, and embodiment (yes, even while sitting in a Zoom call).

I sat down with Lila Veronica, an incredible embodiment and leadership coach, and what she shared truly shifted how I think about presence. This is the episode to watch if you're ready to stop over-performing and start being.

💡 What you’ll learn: ✔️ Why your body is the key to trust & influence ✔️ 3 presence-shifting practices you can do today ✔️ The posture tweak that changes how you're received on camera ✔️ How to attract more by doing less and being more

🎙️ Why Webinars Are the Ultimate Coach’s Power Move (Even If You’re Just Starting)

Hey coach — are you still waiting until you're “more ready,” more polished, or more perfect before you start doing webinars? Yeah... I did that too. And it kept me playing small.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why webinars are one of the most powerful tools you can use right now — even if your audience is small, your slides aren’t done, and your offer isn’t fully built out.

We’re diving into:

What makes webinars different from just another Zoom call
How to show up as your “Best You” — even before you feel ready
My go-to 2-week webinar strategy (that gets results without the burnout)
And the big mindset shift that finally helped me stop waiting and start doing

Plus, I’m sharing the #1 offer every coach can make — no curriculum required.

If you’ve been holding yourself back, this is your invitation to step into the spotlight and be seen as the brilliant, world-changing coach you already are.

🎙️ Episode Title: Success on Your Terms: A New Way to Work, Live, and Lead

What if success didn’t require hustle, burnout, or 80-hour workweeks?

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Amanda is joined by business coach and founder of The Uncommon Way, Jenna Harrison. Together, they unpack what it really means to build a thriving business that supports your life—not one that takes over it.

Jenna shares her journey from overworked entrepreneur and new mom to designing a powerful 24-hour workweek from Spain, where she now lives with her family. Through honest reflection and lived experience, she helps us challenge the guilt, conditioning, and outdated beliefs that keep us stuck in the grind.

Inside this episode:

The truth about how hustle culture blocks creativity and joy
Why relaxing your nervous system can radically improve your leadership
The ripple effect of choosing to work differently—and how others will take notice
Three practical things to remember when shifting to a more intentional schedule
Permission to want what you want—and create space for it

This conversation is a warm, refreshing reminder that success isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s something you design, intentionally and unapologetically.

🎧 Tune in now and let this be your invitation to redefine success—on your own terms.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I don’t belong here,” this episode is for you.

In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into the real story behind imposter syndrome—and why it’s time we stop labeling ourselves with something that’s not even a real diagnosis.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Why imposter syndrome isn’t in the psychology handbooks (because it’s not real!
How cultural bias plays a role in who gets labeled an “imposter”
Why feeling uncertain is not the same as not belonging
Practical ways to shift from self-doubt to self-leadership

I absolutely LOVED this conversation.

If you're a coach, entrepreneur, or creative who's been pouring your heart into your business — but you're not seeing the revenue reflect your effort — this episode might just change everything.

I'm joined by the incredible Shayna, a media and influence strategist who's helped entrepreneurs, celebrities, and corporations land game-changing opportunities. We dig into something that’s been on my heart lately: how selling only to individual consumers can limit your income, even when your offer is amazing.

💥 In this episode, we talk about:

Why only 2% of small business owners ever break $1M — and the surprising stat about those who do
How to position your existing skillset for larger companies without pivoting your business
The difference between specific offers and scalable opportunities
Why influence is an asset, and how to build a brand that opens more doors
Shayna’s “High Five” visibility strategy (this part is GOLD)

The Coaches Plaza Rebrand: Setting a New Standard in Coaching

Welcome to a transformative episode of Thoughts on a Thursday! In this special episode, I’m thrilled to take you behind the scenes of a major rebrand at The Coaches Plaza. This change is all about doing what truly matters—for our clients, our community, and the future of the coaching industry. If you’re a coach who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of industry trends or uncertain about how to communicate your unique value, this episode is for you.

I’ll be sharing the why, how, and what of our rebrand, diving into the core reasons behind the shift and how we’ve structured our brand to reflect values that matter. From our start, we were committed to providing high-value, effective systems that bring real results, but we’ve learned that there’s more to building a thriving coaching business. It requires a foundation of trust, clarity, and connection.

In this episode, I introduce our five new guiding pillars, which serve as the heart of this rebrand and the lens through which we support our clients:

Practical Growth Pathways – We’re committed to making growth simple and effective. No more overwhelm, just clear systems that allow you to build a solid foundation, step by step.

Specializing in what she calls “the business side of business,” Shelly brings clarity, organization, and empowerment to entrepreneurs who are often overwhelmed by the operational, financial, and systematic aspects of their businesses.

Embracing AI and Systems in Coaching—Without Losing the Human Touch

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, we continue the "Coaches That Don’t Suck" series with a special guest: systems expert and entrepreneur, Ryan Brazzell. Ryan is the founder of Assistant Launch, a company that helps fast-growing founders reclaim their time and increase efficiency through a powerful combination of executive assistants, streamlined systems, and advanced AI tools.

Together, we explore a topic that’s crucial for today’s coaches and entrepreneurs—how to leverage AI and automation without losing authenticity and human connection.

Ryan shares how his journey into systems began at a young age with a mindset of saving time and optimizing workflows, a philosophy that he’s built into his work with entrepreneurs and fast-growth businesses.

Today, Ryan's focus is on helping clients implement systems that streamline their processes, from personalized client proposals to automated follow-ups that feel both custom and caring. Ryan emphasizes that systems aren't just about working faster—they’re about freeing up time to focus on what truly matters.

During our conversation, we touch on the growing importance of AI in service-oriented industries like coaching and consulting. With AI tools becoming more accessible and capable, Ryan and I discuss the potential AI holds to make coaching practices more efficient—if we learn to harness it thoughtfully.

Ryan outlines some of the tools and techniques his company uses to personalize client communication at scale, boosting conversion rates and creating a more seamless client experience. He highlights how AI can support business growth by tackling time-consuming tasks, allowing coaches and entrepreneurs to focus on building genuine connections with clients.

We also cover:

Balancing Efficiency with Authenticity: Ryan and I both share stories of how we use systems to make our client relationships stronger, without losing that personal touch. Ryan emphasizes that systems aren’t inherently “cold” or “impersonal”—they’re simply tools that can be configured to support real human connection.
AI as a Strategic Ally, Not a Replacement: Many coaches fear that AI could undermine their value, but Ryan sees it differently. Instead of replacing the coach’s role, he argues that AI is a powerful ally for amplifying impact. For instance, Ryan explains how his team uses AI to generate initial drafts of proposals and follow-up emails that speak directly to client needs—cutting down repetitive work while still allowing for personalization.
Three Essentials for Coaches Who Want to Stand Out: Ryan’s advice for coaches looking to excel boils down to three points: (1) hold clients to a higher standard and encourage their potential, (2) know your unique value and communicate it authentically, and (3) run your practice like a pro by implementing systems that support both your business goals and your clients’ experience.

Ryan’s insights are invaluable for coaches who want to “go pro,” moving beyond simply delivering information and instead creating genuine transformation in their clients’ lives.

He reminds us that in a world where AI can handle repetitive tasks, the unique value of a coach lies in their ability to connect, inspire, and challenge clients to reach new heights.

Finally, we talk about the human element of coaching that’s irreplaceable, no matter how advanced technology becomes. Coaches are facilitators of change, and people will always seek the guidance, empathy, and support of a real person.

Ryan and I both agree: AI can help us streamline processes, but it’s the personal connection that makes coaching so transformative.

Whether you're an AI enthusiast or still hesitant about bringing more technology into your business, this episode offers actionable insights on finding the balance. Join us to learn how to make systems and AI work for you, not against you, so you can focus on what matters most—creating authentic, lasting change for your clients.

With this episode, you'll gain new perspectives on how to build a coaching business that’s both efficient and authentically connected to the people you serve. Tune in for insights, practical strategies, and a roadmap for future-proofing your practice in the digital age!

The Amanda Kaufman Show: How Coaches Can Use SEO to Attract Clients Long-Term (Guest: Jordan Becerra)

Tired of constantly posting on social media, hoping it’ll lead to your next client?

You’re not alone!

In this episode, Amanda sits down with Jordan Becerra, founder of Influencer SEO, to explore the power of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as a tool for coaches who want to build sustainable, long-term client attraction.

Jordan brings a unique approach to SEO, having worked with over 300 content creators, digital entrepreneurs, and coaches to help them leverage search engines to reach their ideal clients—without relying on the “hamster wheel” of social media.

In their conversation, Amanda and Jordan break down exactly how coaches can use SEO to reach new clients, why SEO leads are often higher quality than those from social media, and how you can get started with this powerful strategy even if you’re completely new to it.

Here’s what you can expect to learn in this episode:

The Key Differences Between SEO and Social Media Marketing Discover why SEO is often the preferred choice for long-term growth and how it differs fundamentally from social media. Jordan explains that, while social media posts are here today and gone tomorrow, SEO-driven content can keep bringing visitors to your website for years.
Why SEO Brings Intentional Leads One of the biggest benefits of SEO is that people who find your content through search engines are actively looking for solutions. This means they’re more likely to take meaningful action, like signing up for a newsletter or booking a discovery call. Social media, on the other hand, often attracts people who are just browsing or scrolling, meaning your content has to work even harder to grab their attention.
Tips for Getting Started with SEO Jordan shares her top strategies to make SEO simple, even for beginners. She covers the importance of choosing low-competition keywords (instead of going for high-volume ones), how to think like your ideal client, and why focusing on high-value content can make all the difference in your results. These beginner-friendly tips will help you create SEO-optimized content that stands out without feeling overwhelming.
When to Use SEO vs. Social Media Amanda and Jordan talk about how each tool can play a unique role in your business. While SEO is ideal for reaching new audiences, social media is best for nurturing and connecting with your existing followers. Together, these strategies can work hand-in-hand to help you build a loyal client base.
How SEO Can Guide Your Coaching Offerings Did you know that SEO can actually help you shape and validate your services? Through keyword research, Jordan shows how coaches can understand what people are actively searching for. This allows you to align your offerings with actual demand, making it easier to connect with clients who are ready to buy.
SEO as a Long-Term Investment in Your Business Unlike paid ads or social media, where you need to continuously invest time and money, SEO is an asset that grows over time. Jordan and Amanda discuss how SEO can drive consistent traffic to your site, freeing you up to focus on other areas of your business.

Plus, Jordan offers a free SEO evaluation to listeners who want to explore how SEO could benefit their business, along with a special discount for those ready to get started.

If you’re ready to stop hustling on social media and start building a foundation that brings clients to you organically, tune in to this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show. You’ll walk away with practical tips to get started with SEO, an understanding of how it works differently from social media, and inspiration to start creating content that works for you long-term.

Key Takeaways:

SEO vs. Social Media: Why SEO is more sustainable for long-term growth
The power of intentional leads and how SEO helps reach high-quality prospects
Three easy ways to start with SEO, even if you’re a total beginner
Using SEO insights to shape and validate your coaching programs
How SEO complements social media to create a balanced, effective marketing strategy

For coaches ready to grow their impact beyond social media, this episode is a must-listen. Amanda and Jordan bring a fresh, practical approach to SEO that will leave you feeling empowered to start attracting clients in a new, sustainable way.

Coaches Who Don’t Suck: Insights with Samantha Belle on Success, Self-Acceptance, and the Art of Effective Coaching

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, Amanda dives deep with performance coach Samantha Belle, uncovering what it truly means to be a coach who doesn’t just show up—but truly makes a difference.

Samantha’s unique approach combines practical productivity and performance coaching with transformative mindset and subconscious work.

Together, Amanda and Samantha discuss the journey of personal healing, self-confidence, and the critical practices every coach can adopt to better support their clients and themselves.

Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Embracing Your “Favorite Self” One of Samantha’s core insights is the idea of embracing your “favorite self” rather than viewing your “higher self” as something distant or idealized.

In this episode, she explains how connecting to a “favorite” version of yourself grounds confidence and allows for authentic growth. Amanda shares her personal experience of working with Samantha to embrace her own favorite self—a shift that transformed her business and sense of self.

The Three Core Traits of Great Coaches According to Samantha, effective coaches have three essential traits that set them apart:

Certainty of Self: Grounded confidence in who you are today, your current abilities, and where you’ve come from.
Confidence to Influence: The belief in your power to shape your environment, cultivate meaningful connections, and make impactful decisions.
A Consistent Practice to Re-Center: A grounding practice—whether spiritual, reflective, or meditative—that keeps you aligned and moving forward.

These aren’t just abstract qualities; they’re powerful, actionable traits that every coach can develop to create lasting impact.

Healing as a Foundation for Impact Samantha’s journey into coaching began with her own healing process, and she shares how a life-changing experience with hypnotherapy opened her to the importance of subconscious work.

Her background in personal healing drives her to bring real transformation to her clients, and she encourages coaches to consider their own journeys to self-awareness and healing as foundational to their work with others.

The Importance of Unplugging and Recharging Burnout is real, especially in high-touch fields like coaching. Samantha emphasizes the difference between “unplugging” and “recharging”—both necessary for sustainable success.

She offers actionable tips for overcoming the guilt many of us feel when we take time off, encouraging coaches to integrate rest as a productive, intentional part of their routine.

Practical Meditation and Journaling for Real Life Samantha and Amanda also dive into the benefits of meditation and journaling, especially for those who don’t feel “naturally” suited to these practices. Samantha explains how meditation doesn’t have to be an hour-long silent ordeal, and that journaling doesn’t have to be legible or “perfect.” From mindfulness practices to intuitive flow journaling, they explore ways to make these tools accessible and impactful for everyday life.

A Life of Curiosity and Openness to Change Throughout her life, Samantha has embraced new experiences and challenged herself in creative ways. Her willingness to try new things and accept variety has made her a resilient and adaptable coach, which has benefited her clients tremendously.

Her story is a reminder of the power of openness and personal evolution, a quality that makes her coaching style both unique and incredibly effective.

Whether you’re a seasoned coach or someone just starting out, this episode is packed with actionable insights, reflective prompts, and inspiration to deepen your practice.

Samantha’s wisdom on self-acceptance, grounded confidence, and creating an impactful coaching practice is something every listener can learn from.

Tune in to discover what it takes to be a coach who not only meets expectations—but exceeds them, every day.

In this inspiring episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, we’re joined by the incredible Amy Jordan—an entrepreneur, inventor, coach, and the founder of Wundabar Pilates. Amy’s story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about achieving professional milestones, but about finding alignment in life and work.

Amy’s journey started in corporate America, where she held a dream job as Senior Vice President at Marvel. While the work was exciting and the people inspiring, Amy felt that something was missing. She realized she wasn’t fulfilling her true purpose, and that’s when she decided to take a leap into the world of Pilates.

She talks about the importance of movement and how Pilates allows her to help clients feel stronger, more confident, and empowered from the inside out.

But this episode is about so much more than fitness—it’s about what it means to live and work in alignment. We explore how Amy’s shift from corporate life to entrepreneurship has impacted her personally, professionally, and emotionally. She discusses the power of creating space for others to thrive, how to build a judgment-free environment, and why she focuses on helping people feel good rather than chasing external validation.

One of the most valuable takeaways from this episode is Amy’s unique approach to coaching. Her authenticity, grace, and ability to connect with people are key to her success. She explains how holding space for her clients—whether they’re Olympians or individuals who haven’t worked out in years—creates an environment where people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to move at their own pace.

We also dive into the topic of alignment in business. Amy shares how stepping into her purpose transformed not only her business but also her entire outlook on life. She discusses the importance of investing in coaching, even for seasoned entrepreneurs, and how it has helped her expand her vision, delegate tasks, and focus on what truly matters.

This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone who is seeking more clarity, alignment, and purpose in their work and life. Whether you’re a coach, an entrepreneur, or someone looking for inspiration, Amy’s story will motivate you to take bold steps toward living a life that feels truly authentic.

Why Your Website is Critical to Coaching Success: An Interview with Jeffro F.

In this episode of The Amanda Kauffman Show, I sit down with Jeffro F., founder of FroBro Web Technologies, to dive deep into why every coach needs a website that not only looks good but functions as a powerful tool for business growth.

Whether you're a seasoned coach or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights on how to make your website work for you, not against you.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

First Impressions Matter: Jeffro shares why your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your business—and why that impression has to count. It’s more than just aesthetics. If your site doesn’t communicate professionalism and credibility, visitors may lose confidence in your ability to help them.
Start Where You Are: Whether you're working with a $500 budget or ready for a custom $6,000 build, Jeffro highlights the importance of launching your website early in your journey. Your site is a dynamic tool that should grow and evolve alongside your business. It’s never truly "done."
Hiring the Right Developer: Not tech-savvy? No worries. Jeffro provides great advice on how to find the right developer, emphasizing the importance of clarity. Knowing what you want your website to achieve—be it showcasing case studies or generating leads—will help you hire the best person for the job.
Building Relationships Through Your Website: Your website can help you nurture relationships with potential clients. Even if someone isn’t ready to commit to a coaching program, your website can offer them free resources, lower-priced services, or ways to stay connected until they are ready to take the next step.
The Value of Coaching in Business: As a strong advocate of coaching, Jeffro opens up about how coaching has helped him identify blind spots and grow his business. His experiences mirror what many of us know to be true: a good coach helps you move faster and avoid pitfalls by offering insights you might not have considered.

✨ What You'll Learn:

The common mistakes coaches make with their websites and how to avoid them.
How to balance aesthetics with functionality for a site that converts visitors into clients.
Why having a website early on can actually help you clarify your brand, niche, and messaging.
Practical advice for hiring a web developer that will deliver results and help you make a solid investment.
How your website plays a role in maintaining and growing relationships with prospects and clients.

💡 Why This Matters:

As a coach, you’re offering guidance and expertise to your clients, but without a strong online presence, it’s difficult to project that value to the world. A well-crafted website is a reflection of your business and the professionalism you bring to your coaching practice. In this episode, Jeffro and I break down exactly how to make sure your website works for you—and why it’s never too early to start.

For many coaches, especially those with neurodivergence or unique ways of thinking, success doesn’t come from conforming—it comes from embracing your strengths and building a business that works for you.
The Top 3 Traits of a Coach Who Doesn’t Suck: Julia shares her perspective on what makes a coach truly exceptional. It’s not about fancy strategies or techniques—it’s about transparency, validation, and being a champion for your clients’ growth, even when they’re struggling.

For coaches, immersing themselves in environments that reflect their values can accelerate their development and provide the support needed to thrive.

In this episode, I sit down with leadership coach Steven Morrow, who has spent over 20 years coaching CEOs around the world. Steven’s coaching journey is not your typical story of social media fame and online influence. Instead, it’s one of authenticity, deep connection, and relentless networking.

The Power of Truth-Telling: We discuss how truth-telling, both with clients and with yourself, is the foundation for growth and connection. Steven emphasizes that real coaching often means getting uncomfortable and facing the small, often overlooked things that hold us back.
Going for the Real Conversation: Steven breaks down his approach to client meetings and networking—getting straight to the heart of the conversation rather than wasting time on small talk or over-explaining his process. He explains why clients don’t care about how you coach—they care about how you can help them solve their biggest challenges.
Savoring the Struggle: One of the most powerful insights from our conversation is Steven’s reminder to savor the journey, especially the tough moments. He reflects on how so many successful people look back and wish they had enjoyed the process more while building their business or career.

Throughout the episode, Steven shares candid stories from his own experience coaching senior leaders in Fortune 500 companies and private equity firms. We also talk about how his approach to sales, truth-telling, and authenticity has helped him build a thriving coaching practice—without relying on social media or fancy marketing tactics.

This episode is a must-listen for aspiring coaches, seasoned leaders, and anyone looking to overcome fear, deepen their connections, and build a fulfilling career on their own terms.

Unlock the Power of Podcast Guesting to Grow Your Coaching Business

In this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Spencer, an award-winning entrepreneur, podcasting expert, and my dear friend, to explore how coaches can leverage podcast guesting to build their businesses.

Kim’s journey into podcast guesting started during a tough time: stuck in Australia during the pandemic with her husband’s industry shut down, she was left as the sole provider for her family. Faced with uncertainty, she remembered a $10,000 coaching contract she had landed from a single podcast interview, sparking her realization that guesting on other people’s podcasts could be a game-changer for her business.

Fast forward, Kim has generated over a quarter of a million dollars in new business revenue from podcast guesting alone—and she’s here to share her secrets.

In this episode, we cover:

The Podcast Guesting Advantage: Learn why Kim believes that 90% of podcasts are not worth your time and how to identify the top shows that will truly move the needle for your business. Discover her “5-30-90” rule that ensures you only invest your time in the right opportunities.
Hosting vs. Guesting: Which Should You Choose? Kim breaks down the key differences between hosting your own podcast and being a guest on others’ shows. She shares why podcast guesting is a smart, strategic choice for coaches who want to expand their reach without taking on the commitment of hosting their own podcast. If your business is struggling, podcast guesting might be the lifeline you need to keep growing without overwhelming yourself.
Kim’s Top Do’s and Don’ts of Podcast Guesting: From avoiding “brain picking” disguised as guesting to mastering the art of adding value during your interview, Kim provides actionable tips that will help you navigate the podcasting landscape like a pro. Learn how to craft compelling stories, embed client testimonials, and connect with hosts on a deeper level to maximize each guest appearance.
Treat Podcast Guesting as a Process, Not a Project: Kim emphasizes the importance of seeing podcast guesting as a process with stages—relationship building, scheduling, preparation, the interview, and post-interview promotion. This structured approach turns guesting into a repeatable and scalable strategy that consistently drives results.
The Power of Being of Service: Kim’s philosophy centers on showing up authentically and being of service during every guest appearance. She shares how shifting from a mindset of “what can I get?” to “how can I serve?” not only makes you a memorable guest but also builds trust with your audience and the podcast host.
Navigating Personal Challenges While Guesting: Life happens, and it’s not always smooth sailing. Kim offers compassionate advice on managing personal challenges like stress or loss while maintaining your guesting commitments. She shares her personal experience of navigating a challenging year of losses and how she balanced her commitments with self-care and grace.
Practical Tips to Deepen Connections with Hosts: From tagging hosts in social media posts to leaving them reviews and engaging with their content, Kim provides practical strategies for nurturing relationships with podcast hosts long after your episode airs. These small but meaningful actions help you stand out, create deeper connections, and increase your chances of being invited back.

This episode is packed with actionable advice for coaches who want to leverage the power of podcast guesting to grow their businesses, expand their reach, and connect authentically with new audiences.

Profitability is an important factor in saving and achieving success in business. W

omen are often conditioned to save, but talking about profitability is often overlooked. Finding the right balance between profitability and a passion for what you do is important, as there is an emotional cost to being an entrepreneur.

Financial responsibility is also key, in order to ensure enough money is always available for regular expenses. To be successful, you need passion for work, a purpose behind it and proficiency in your work. It is important to allow space and time for success to take root and prioritize what is most important to you.

When striving for success, you must express who you are and what you aim for. And when setting up coaching sessions, having a system that triggers coaching, reminders and agendas for productive calls and a three-strike reminder system with disabled reminders for clients not attending are important.

Cutting through the noise of social media with your coaching business is tough, but in May 2022 FB came out with a new feature that is helping Group owners reach their members in a better way.

The “@ everyone” tag is creating a lot of buzz on the platform, as people debate whether it’s a good idea to use this to reach people for marketing purposes or not.

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts (in the wee hours!) and how you can use this effectively with your coaching business, and if you check out the full episode you can get more ideas and the full transcript for the episode here: https://bit.ly/3VspHdk

Nothing in nature is always in a massive growth trajectory in an unmitigated fashion... and I'm no exception. Lately, I've pulled back from writing and posting quite as much, still there a lot, but still - I'm quieter on the socials, because I've been building - elsewhere. :) Get the full transcript, plus a little more of the backstory on my full blog at https://bit.ly/3en5RPU or listen to the podcast if you're on the go there. See you soon! Amanda

This week in our program, Level Up+, I got a fantastic question from a client…

The question stopped me dead in my tracks… I had to record a full-blown FAQ response to it.

So I did!

But then, I didn’t stop there…

I realized that my fierce independence growing up was a major reason that I didn’t achieve as an adult at the same pace that I did as a teenager and young adult when my support systems fell away and I was left to my own devices.

Especially as a “solo-preneur”

For the record, I despise the term “solo-preneur”

Seriously, it’s the worst term in the world…

Because no successful entrepreneur truly operates independently, and neither does any corporate employee or academic.

Humans are a social species.

The whole term “self-made man” or “self-made person” is total garbage.

Even when I was started out at the very beginning of my journey, and I felt the absolute loneliest and scaredest - I was never truly alone.

But I kept thinking of myself as a solo-preneur, like I had to do all this alone, or I was a failure.

And that thinking literally kept me small.

Well…

I thought about keeping that FAQ inside my paid program, but this idea seemed too important to keep in there, so I decided to publish it publicly, here on the blog and podcast!

Enjoy!

Starts and stops when you're in launch-mode of a coaching business can be devastating to your progress... but what do you do when real-life seems to interfere and you legitimately have SO MUCH on your plate?

Kids, second jobs, responsibilities... most coaches are drawn to this career out of a desire to help others, and the reality is that most coaches are ALREADY helping others extensively.

What do you do when the plate gets over-full and it seems like you can't keep going? Amanda is down with a common detractor of progress this week, so what a perfect moment to talk about how to handle life's slow-downs...

As a business owner, you wear many hats. But at some point, you may need to bring in help to wear some of those other hats. When is the right time to hire a coach? Here are a few things to consider…

What are you already doing well, trained at, and good at, that you can do easily without having to learn a new skill?
What’s your start-up budget like, and how much cashflow does your business have available to affordably invest in support? If you say “I have NOTHING”, then it’s time for a big reality check - no business has nothing, there’s always opportunities for reducing expenses somewhere and finding revenue somewhere else!
Start small and grow steady with clearly defined investment of support - it would be nice if you could hire out everything all at once, but as we discuss in this episode, part of the puzzle of business ownership is deciding where to allocate your resources!

Join this week to hear what we focused on first, and why, and what we’d do differently if we started all over again.

Have you ever hopped from one marketing strategy to another, hoping to find “the right” one?

Or went all the way through executing something, only to find that the shoe didn’t fit, even after you thought you finally found that “Cinderalla shoe” of a marketing strategy?

This used to happen to me over and over again, and it led me to spending literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on courses, programs, and coaching to try to figure out what I was doing “wrong” until I realized that the marketing wasn’t the problem…

Tune into this special episode of the show where I talk about why it’s so hard for us to find the “right fit” and what I had to do instead, and why this might lead to superior coaching in your own clients as they struggle to seek that “silver bullet” in their own transformations as well…

I’m a huge advocate of creating a support system so that you can “have it all” in your life…

BUT you need to make sure that the support system is adequately supported, or else you might find yourself in a worse situation.

Hiring creates expense, both in time management and expenses - hiring is often positioned as the solution, but it’s an incomplete solution if you don’t have the processes and planning in place to make sure you are making:

The correct hires
The correct role definitions
The correct budgeting to support paying the roles

Often it’s the feelings and emotions that lead to emotional decisions, without the strategic decision-making and processes.

For my consciousness-based coaches out there, think of it as balancing the masculine and the feminine…

For my science and business-minded coaches - think of it as balancing the structure and the flow of the business.

Listen to the episode to get one of the biggest lessons in my business when it came to getting quality team support.

This very blog has been through several iterations over the years, and we’re back, updated, with a new format that’s personal and perfect for following along with what’s new, what’s changing, what’s growing and evolving with building a multi-7-figure company…

But even with the lessons of growth, it’s always coming back to those first principles, the foundations, again and again, that the quantum leaps happen.

This week I’m sharing what has made the biggest impact in my business lately, and that’s tapping into the power of momentum - without perfection.

As a business owner, it’s amazing if you can have a steady increase in revenue every year that allows you to slowly expand and grow your business to where you want it!

But there can be times where your business isn’t progressing as well as you’d like it to, and you start to get overwhelmed... Or you get stuck in your head... Or maybe feel stranded at a productivity halt... Maybe even all three at once...

So what can help you through the tough times and also help you accomplish exponential growth beyond just a percentage increase from the previous year?

In this week’s episode of The Coach’s Plaza Podcast, Amanda and Chris are discussing what Quantum Growth means to them and how they thought something would take forever to happen but happened in a shockingly short amount of time because that made a small adjustment to how they were doing things.

If you are wanting to make a jump from one point of your coaching business to a point across space and time (kinda) and not follow along the standard path, then you won’t want to miss the week’s episode of The Coach’s Plaza Podcast!

This week we mixed things up a bit in The Coach’s Plaza FB group and we had a LIVE down-to-earth interview about how Ms. W did it…

And by “did it” we mean she got 25 clients and filled 3 group coaching pods without posting to social media multiple times a day, running ads, or even hosting webinars!

We’re covering how Ms. W’s mindset changed since the beginning of her coaching journey, how she had to learn how to say “no” when her coaching practice snowballed into something she never imagined, and what it was she learned from The Coaching Biz Accelerator Program that made the difference!

Insecurity, insecurity, insecurity…

It seems to be the big issue that most coaches can award as the biggest reason for their coaching business’ growth stalling out.

Money is NOT the root of all evil.

Evil is the root of all evil. ;) Money is completely neutral.

So often, coaches go into the industry with great intentions to have a positive impact on others, and do not address one of the most important aspects of their own fulfillment and happiness…

Abundance.

Financial abundance is not about lambos and mansions or making irresponsible decisions.

It’s about having the ability to direct resources toward the ambitions and goals that are on your heart to bring into the world.

Becoming “a coach” is more than giving yourself a title - if you want to become a successful business owner, and especially if you want to make a realistic living as a coach, you cannot afford to miss this episode!

It seems to be the popular topic and “big issue” that most coaches cite as the biggest reason for their coaching business’ growth stalling out.

It took me FOREVER to launch my first program.

I told myself that I was “measuring twice and cutting once” and that I would do a better job if I just took more time to prepare.

Being real? It still sucked.

There are things that you just won’t learn until you actually do the work… and getting a program up and running is actually a lot faster to do than most people think. They think the same thing I thought… more planning and contemplation = better results, right?

Wrong.

In a coaching business, sales loves speed. Meaning, this industry is mature enough that if you sit on an idea for a week or two, suddenly, someone else has already run with it, and those people you might’ve helped…

Well, they’re working with that other guy.

Instead, we always get to market as fast as we can, so we can learn faster what people actually want so that we can optimize our programming to get better results, and therefore, get in the game faster. Our favorite way? Tiny Hybrids. That’s what we’re talking about in this episode.Come join the CEO Coach Community at The Coach’s Plaza at www.thecoachesplaza.com

There’s nothing more satisfying than finally being able to transition from a mundane corporate job to the coaching career you’ve been dreaming of for so long. Trust me, I’ve been there! But the beginning of that transition can seem terrifying if you don’t have a clear understanding of your goal and how to achieve that goal.

What you need is a focus formula. Don’t let fear be the reason that you put off your ambitions for 10+ years.

This week on The CRUSH Method Show, we want you to be able to hear about the hardships that we experienced along the way, learn from that portion of our journey and quickly get to the success of launching your coaching program.

We’re not saying that you won’t have hardships of your own or that this will be a walk in the park, by any means, but receiving guidance from someone with experience will benefit you immensely.

Be real to yourself, hold yourself accountable, be aware of the areas you’re spending your time, and keep a prioritized focus on the important things that are going to keep the process moving toward your launch goal, Coach!

24 hours in the day, 168 hours in the week... It’s something we all have an equal amount of, but some people have better management of theirs and seem to have additional time to not be a frantic mess. Unfair, right?!

This week on The CRUSH Method Show, Amanda and Chris are talking about the benefits of launching a group coaching program. Not only are there benefits financially to offering a group program, but there are also benefits to our most valuable, non-renewable resource; our time.

Who doesn’t want to have more control of their time?? And better yet, who doesn’t want to leverage that time wisely?

How much power is there in the “fake it until you make it” idea? Turns out, quite a bit…

Often we envision a better, brighter future version of ourselves that is calmer, more at peace, more relaxed, more in control… after we’ve “made it”.

About a year ago, I was in the thick of it with our business, up to my eyeballs in to-dos and tasks, and my meeting calendar was out of sight. I had trips and travel booked out (this was pre-pandemic) and I also had big goals that I was committed to achieving.

The trouble was, I was running so hard, and so fast, that I wasn’t getting where I wanted to go. In fact, it was seeming like the harder I held onto the goal, the harder it seemed to hold onto what I already had. In other words, I was rapidly burning out…

To get past it, I had a massive shift in my mindset. Tune into this episode to unpack how I went from good to VERY good in a short period of time, without yet having the millionaire goal...

Can you really have it all without doing it all yourself, perfectly? Of course.

It’s not a secret that achieving balance in life is part of happiness… but what subconscious beliefs do you perhaps have that are preventing you from accessing your fullest potential as a human, a family member, a business owner?

In this special episode we took an excerpt from our fire presentation, The Planning Extravaganza, where we were talking about the true nature of achieving balance when you have a lot of priorities.

Clarity about what’s important to you, and the willingness to “be that weirdo” as you approach solving the dilemma of not enough hours in the week for everything is critical if you’re going to build a sustainable and enjoyable business, and it’s not talked about enough in business.

Often it’s about how many leads you can get, how many sales you can close… and as I write this I’m trying to think of a task in your business that doesn’t benefit from you being much clearer-headed, conscious, supported, and higher performing.

There are many paths to take when you are a coach, but it’s undeniable that you have an influence on others as soon as you take up the title of “Coach”. With that leadership comes responsibility, to make sure the people you impact and influence feel safe in your communities, programs, and practice.

I sat down with Alyssa Hall, an expert and fellow coach who has been leading the charge on tackling Anti-Racism in coaching, the workplace, and in other businesses as well.

Listen to this in-depth and candid interview to find out more about how you as a coach can take the lessons of anti-racism and integrate them into your practice and leadership style.

Alyssa shares her experience since the national (and international) conversation about racism exploded onto the scene earlier in 2020, and what we as coaches need to do differently if we’re going to make sure this priority survives the ever-spinning news cycles.

It’s not the size of the actions you take, so much as the consistency, conviction, and focus with which you take the steps…

Join us this week as we have a quick chat about a big idea that saved us a lot of heartache… Taking smaller steps to get places faster.

When we were starting out early in our business, we thought that we had to have a big impressive website, a fancy team, and lots and lots of letters after our names to be effective as coaches, and the truth?

You can be scrappy, and quite effective, by simply deciding to be in action and in momentum.

This week on The CRUSH Method we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at what we shifted our focus to in order to move from high-stress, big-bang-business to a more consistent and achievable level of growth, doing what most wouldn’t think of…

Slowing down, and choosing the right things to work on daily in the business.

A business is simply a collection of processes, working together to deliver value. So if you’ve been working on your business every day, but everything you’re doing is a “first time” and “one time” task, that might be a big signal that you need more focus in the little things.Get the entire transcript, and mp3 at https://bit.ly/2YUq5F1

Everyone is talking about racism, social justice, and systemic bias… As coaches, we are holding space for people to explore transformation so they can step into their highest and best self to achieve their goals.

Yet, with the discussion of racism, bias, business, the conversations can get complicated fast, leaving coaches everywhere (along with everyone else) confused, and often at a loss for what to do next.

The purpose of this short training is to start a discussion about how Unconscious Bias affects Coaches, specifically, and to address ideas on how to proceed forward.

This training is from the perspective of a white woman, and I recognize that… so we have decided to include more resources from other experts in the space to give more perspectives to help you to draw your own conclusions and take the actions accordingly.

This week we’re sitting down with Carolina Millan, an International Speaker, Business Coach and Content Creator.

From time to time, I love to interview coaches who have figured some things out…

Because it’s true, it’s not easy to build a viable business, but it’s possible.

And I know I’m telling you it’s possible all the time, but sometimes you just have to get proof from more than one source, right?

Carolina and I met by the pool in Puerto Rico while both of us were attending a multi-day mastermind event with about 200 other high performers, and we immediately hit it off…

Carolina has developed a successful podcast, and a following, without living in the center of the Personal Development world, too (ahem, holla California!)… She lives in a smaller city in Chile.

She’s a walking contradiction of “what everybody says”, and yet is successful, happy, and a servant leader, and so I just had to introduce her to you.

You’ll love this interview. :)

Not sure what to do in isolation? I'm talking to you, Coach, who's launching your business. Nobody knows what is going to happen. The economy is already responding. It's a challenge and coaches have a duty to put out as much positive energy as they can.

What does that look like? First take care of yourself. You need your energy and health. Second, check everything's cool at home, so everybody's happy and healthy.

Third, are you able to survive this? It's going to be a struggle, but not the way you think. I've been selling for years, and individuals in crisis still buy coaching. Why? Because coaching helps with their challenge. Is your coaching solving a relevant problem?

Isn't it icky to sell at a time like this? Absolutely not. It wasn't icky for you to sell three weeks ago, it isn’t now. Are you helping to achieve something? Then you need to be compensated to recoup your energy, time and the value you're providing. “I'm not as established as others”. That’s not new and you've got to start somewhere.

You’re able to work through this, create a strategy and work it. Everything will be alright.

No matter what your goals are, no matter what you want to achieve, no question, your movement will be a big part of whether you will have the energy to achieve your goals...

This week in The CRUSH Method Show we’re discussing Movement And Your Non-Health Goals, which happens to be one of Chris’s all-time favorite discussion topics!.

Whether you’re already in great health and fitness, or you have some room to improve, you won’t want to miss this week’s discussion, especially if hitting your 2020 goals is at all on your radar. In this episode we discuss:

Why physical goals are often ignored in favor of career, intellectual, and social goals
The devastating consequences of deprioritizing physical wellness over time
The surprising connection between physiology and our mood
What happens when Chris doesn’t get his daily fix
What to do if you aren’t physically perfect and you want to coach others

Physiology is an area that requires extra intention for many people (especially with over 60% of Americans now facing obesity) and doesn’t have to be the reason you stop serving, stop getting after your goals, or lower your quality of life.

When we know what to do, but aren’t doing it, odds are, we are at odds with our mood...

This week in The CRUSH Method Show we’re discussing Better Moves With Better Moods, and exploring how we feel affects the way we behave day to day, and what to do when a negative mood strikes.

This continues our conversation about what happens when we know what to do, and even how to do it, but we struggle with implementing and following through. In this episode we discuss:

How your mood relates to your overall behaviors and outcomes
What we can learn from kiddos as they demonstrate different results
Ideas on how to bring greater awareness to our moods
Strategies to affect your mood when a negative mood strikes
What to do if the frequency, intensity and duration is significant
How intentionally cultivating a positive mood and mindset affects results.

Chris and I also share what it has been like to come to terms with ownership over our moods, and what we’ve learned over the years as we become more conscious and intentional around mindset.

Achieving big results requires a lot more than setting big targets, having the right strategy, or even the resources to achieve our goals…

This week in The CRUSH Method Show we’re deep-diving on How Our Thoughts Affect Our Results with a discussion on mastering your own psychology to achieve greater results.

Often we know what to do, and even how to do it, but we struggle with implementing and following through. In this episode we discuss:

Why psychology is so important to performance
The relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and feelings
How we can “observe” our thoughts, and not necessarily engage them
How to choose thoughts that support us
3 strategies for improving our psychology to support performance
What to do if negative thought patterns won’t let up

It takes practice and intention to master our thoughts, and while no one does this perfectly, learning to develop the skill of observing and processing our thoughts is the first step toward learning to engage our emotions differently.

Science has shown that we have the ability to shift thought patterns and behaviors through deliberate practice, and it’s through this practice that we are able to steady ourselves through the execution of our plans, to achieve greater results.

You’ve got big goals, big dreams, and big items on that to-do list to make it happen. But do you have the support team that you really need?

What do you do about the relationships in your life that are not exactly fulfilling? Or maybe even detracting from your success?

This week on The CRUSH Method Show we are tackling the question of what do you need to do to make sure that you are socially supported in making progress toward your dreams and living a life of purpose.

In the episode, we explore:

The significance of social relationships when curating your performance
How to assess your current social surroundings to identify where support might be needed
The key roles in your social support structure
What to do about existing relationships that are either detracting or not supporting your future identity and ambitions
Where to go to find new connections and relationships

When people hire us to help, it’s always with a transition in mind, whether it’s transitioning from a full-time corporate career to entrepreneur life, or transitioning from one state of health to a greater state of health, or when navigating new and exciting relationships and other life opportunities, we can’t talk about significant change without acknowledging the role of our most important relationships.

Join us for a special interview with Kimberly Spencer, the CEO and founder of Crown Yourself Coaching. We love inviting successful coaches to share with us their perspectives and journey on creating a real business of service, and you will love hearing from Kimberly about what her big mindset difference-makers were.

At the beginning of 2019 I used a free software that reminded me to be Relentless every day.

See, when I first started coaching I started and stopped.

Started and stopped.

Started and stopped.

Started and stopped.

Started and stopped.

(I think you are getting to the point that it happened… A LOT! )

AND, my results reflected that.

But when I decided to keep going (and figured out the secret to keep the momentum even when things didn’t go the way I planned), things started to pick up.

In a BIG way!

Now, I’d love to sit here and tell you that I’ve reached such a stage of enlightenment that nothing anyone says bothers me or hurts my feelings.

But that would be what we call a lie :)

I, like you, am human. And the opinions of others can take its toll on me (even if they are perfect strangers. I know, weird right?)

But, those comments, even when hurtful, do not have to keep you from getting what you want in business and life.

In today’s Vlog, I am sharing with you a few tools you can use to CRUSH OPO’s that have worked for me and Chris and many others when they start to drag you down.

“How do I decide what to invest in for my business?”

I don’t know about you, but when I first started I bought every course, program and software I came across, because I thought that’s what I needed to do.

And while taking action was great, I got confused for a bit and lost sight of the most important question in business. (Which I’m sharing with you in today’s C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog!)

This is the question that took me from spending spree to strategic investing in my business! Wanna know what it is?

Not only did this one question keep me from wasting money on stuff I didn’t need, it helped me to focus so I could make investments in myself and my business that paid off.

I went from spending to investing. And that’s what created my first 5-figure month :)

Maybe you’ve known people who are really talented, but who are stuck in a rut because they doubt themselves…

Maybe you feel this way sometimes too...

It’s perfectly understandable.

Doubt is a normal thing that everyone experiences. (Not evidence that there’s something wrong with you.)

But when you know how to use the energy of doubt to your advantage, that’s when you break free to the success you desire and deserve.

In this week’s episode of the C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog, you’ll discover the same 3 steps I use to overcome and use when doubt creeps in for me… so you can use them to free yourself:

What would it be like if you were meeting people, and you ran out of space on your calendar to talk to all the people that might be interested in your services?

That’s exactly what happened to me during one particular “hustle” moment in my business…

I was meeting people, and talking to people, so frequently, that I managed to “break” my follow-up system!!

For most people I talk to, the issue is not enough conversations, and there’s a fear of getting sucked into the “hustle and grind” lifestyle.

I’m not about that life, as we talk about a lot in The CRUSH Method Show, it’s about balance and intentionality.

So how do you avoid the grind, but still create a beautiful new problem of too many people to talk to about coaching?

One of the questions we get asked A LOT (like, a lot, a lot) is...

“How do you do it all?”

With all the moving parts of a coaching business (plus taking care of the kiddos, being a spouse, taking care of our bodies, oh… and having a life!), HOW does one person handle it all?

Well… this week’s myth-busting episode tells you how.

Take cover as you read this; we may call down the wrath of the “Coaching gods” with what we’re about to tell you.

But first, quick recap first, in case you’re just joining us:

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be unveiling—for FREE—the 5 BIG myths going around that keep good, talented coaches—like you—stuck in a rut that is hard to get out of...

And we’ll be delivering each MYTH-Busting Episodestraight to your inbox as part of our C.R.U.S.H. Method Episode.

If you missed the previous Episodes, you can find them here:

MYTH 2 BUSTED: More Important Than Your Website

If you already saw them… let’s keep going and talk about the one myth in the coaching business that is responsible for keeping more people stuck than any other.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be unveiling—for FREE—the 5 BIG myths going around that keep good, talented coaches—like you—stuck in a rut that is hard to get out of... And we’ll be delivering each MYTH-Busting Video straight to your inbox as part of our C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog. If you missed the video from last week, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROTQ... If you saw it… let’s keep going and talk about one of the biggest questions coaches have

“What should I do for my website?”

When I first started online, I wanted to succeed so bad.

I read everything I could find about how to make money online.

And I tried to follow everything to the letter.

But it didn’t always work out so well…

For example: I decided to have a Black Friday sale.

Makes sense, right?

Then when Black Friday came...

Crickets.

And that was just one of my many disappointments.

Turns out, not all the advice we read online is helpful.

It’s the same thing when it comes to coaching.

In fact, we’ve noticed 5 BIG myths going around that keep good, talented coaches—like you—stuck in a rut that is hard to get out of.

Behind “non-icky” influence is one simple strategy that has helped, and helped, and helped when it comes to me sticking to my goals in my biz, and I spill them all for you in this week’s vlog.

In this week’s episode of the C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog, we break it down for you so you can stop trying to grasp all of this piecemeal advice, and instead get on a path that works perfectly for what you need.

In this week’s episode of the C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog, we share a simple way to end negative self-talk and maintain an abundance mindset… in a way that feels natural and easy.

My hubby Chris also joins me and reveals some vulnerability about his own struggles with this same very common challenge in the past, and the one simple question he uses to reset whenever he feels tempted toward a scarcity mindset.

P.S. This is something we notice a lot with brand-new coaches. They sometimes feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and all there is to do.

This simple technique helped each of us to create and maintain a mindset of abundance, in a way that isn’t exhausting.

I “should” do this better.

She “should” stop doing that.

This “should” work faster.

The “shoulding” used to go on... and on... and on.

In fact, I used to even “should” myself without thinking. (Yikes!)

This showed up in my life as anxiety, depression, and a few more pounds to carry around on my body.

Then, I realized something that helped me stop “shoulding” myself, and today I want to share it with you.

(I won’t tell you you “should” use it. :) Rather, it’s something to consider. LOL.)

If we were to line up all the biggest challenges coaches face in creating a successful coaching business…

And just pick ONE that causes more icky feelings, self doubt and giving up…

Without a doubt, the dreaded word “SALES” takes first prize.

But have no fear...

Because in this weeks episode of the C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog, we share with you the 4 Laws of Non Icky Sales

I was on the phone with one of my best friends, and I was so nervous I almost peed myself.

She had already told me she wanted to coach with me, but when it came to talking about the money, I just felt… stuck.

Somehow, by the end of the call, I made the sale!

For $10/hour...

That is not a misprint. My first official coaching client paid me less money than a teenager delivering pizzas for Dominos.

There’s one sneaky little devil that creeps in and trips up even the highest performers in any field.

This little stinker is so easy to overlook. It even comes to you like it’s your friend.

But it most definitely is NOT.

In fact, after spending years as a coach of high performers, I can tell you with 100% accuracy that it’s the ONE THING responsible for every failure they experience.

Mindset is only one part of our own intelligence. Our bodies are also intelligent. That’s where those moments of illuminating intuition come from. When I combined the intelligence of my mind with the innate intelligence of my body, that’s when the head banging stopped and my coaching practice took off effortlessly. In this week’s video, Chris and I share with you how to get the mind-body connection working for you.

Many coaches are so big on having a Positive Mindset that we normal humans can feel insecure or like we’re doing something wrong if we have “one of those days.”

Can’t it sometimes feel exhausting trying to always be positive?

Not only that, but I’ve seen the proof that when someone is under the spell of having to STAY POSITIVE, that usually keeps them S-T-U-C-K...

Because they are missing out on the other side of motivation, which is often even more powerful.

In today’s episode of the CRUSH Method Vlog, we share the surprising benefits of a negative mindset and how you can use those times to be your most productive.

Have you ever found yourself TRYING REALLY HARD to pump yourself up to start prospecting...

But then excuses pop up automatically that make you procrastinate and keep you stuck?

When I first started my coaching business, I was a Procrastination Maestro.

But then I found 2 secrets that helped me stop procrastinating and start prospecting effortlessly—and without pumping myself up.

In this week’s episode of the CRUSH Method Show, we share those 2 secrets of “Automatic Action Taking” that can get you to do the darn thing… without feeling like you’re fighting yourself.

I hear it all the time…

Whether I’m coaching around business-building, or helping someone to finally get into healthier eating and exercise habits, consistency is KING!

“Amanda, I’m just not consistent enough”

This week in The CRUSH Method Show, I’m sharing with you the ninja tactic that I used to start myself onto the right path, when I thought I couldn’t do a thing more to improve my results…

Have you ever had the experience of getting a total eureka moment, when you’re far, far away from your laptop?

I had a big one this week on the way from the gym to a late breakfast with my hubby and two step-kiddos who are with us for their summer break…

Fortunately, I whipped out my phone, and had the ability to transcribe what I think could become the intro to one of my books (oooh, a book you say? Yes, maybe..) and, btw, I LOVE the app “Otter” to do this, you can get up to 500 minutes free (not a sponsored mentioning, I just love the app)

The real wisdom I dropped later the same day on our The CRUSH Method Daily Show, which, if you didn’t already know, is our e’ry’day Facebook / Instagram live that we’ve been doing every day since January.

True story.

Anyhoo, I made a choice a few months ago that changed my life, and it’s a choice you could easily make too - I give you the full scoop in this episode...

All month long we’ve been talking about the importance of motivation in the CRUSH Method vlog.

And this week?

We’re going to show you how too much motivation (or motivation incorrectly applied) can actually keep you feeling stuck, frustrated, and without clients.

Have you ever been lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling, and wondered: “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I figure this out?”

I sure have. In fact, when I first started my coaching business, those nights happened more than I would like to remember.

There were times when it felt like I’d never succeed.

Like I was fatally flawed at the core or something.

I was stuck. Unmotivated. And then, I discovered a secret to getting unstuck that quite literally turned my whole business around in an instant. In this week’s video, Chris and I share with you what that secret is.

Boy oh boy do we have a controversial show for you this week!

You know how you hear so many people talking about mindset?

Mindset is important, for sure... But, we’re gonna go completely against the grain here and let you know the truth: Mindset is only 1/2 of the equation.

And without the other half? It just doesn’t work.

It’s why so many people will work hard on their affirmations, their meditation, being grateful...

Have you ever felt stuck and frustrated that you just weren’t getting the results you want quickly enough?

Maybe you’ve wondered whether to keep going and try again, or if it’s time to start over with a new idea, market or niche from scratch?

In this week’s episode of the CRUSH Method Vlog, we reveal the one question to ask that helps you know the difference so you can get your business moving forward again.

So far in previous episodes this month we’ve talked about:

–What is a Tribe?
–How do You Build a Tribe?
–How do You Maintain and Grow a Tribe?

And this week, we’re going to show you how to: Get Your Tribe to Pay You

Uh oh…
Does that feel icky?

Sometimes people have a hard time putting together something as virtuous and good as tribe building with making money.

Don’t worry…I got you. ;-)

You don’t have to charge your tribe at all. In fact, you can take the training from this month, and create a free tribe if you want. But in this video, we show you something very curious:

How charging to be a part of your tribe can actually help your members get better results!

In last week’s episode of the CRUSH METHOD VLOG, we showed you how to start your tribe from scratch (and what pitfalls to avoid), so you can have a group of people who WANT YOU to lead them. This week, we’re “demystifying” the tribe, and giving you the 1-2 punch that you need to keep this baby tribe growing and thriving.

If you watched my Podcast last week, you discovered that it takes having a loyal TRIBE of like minded people who look to you as their leader. Now that makes sense, but how do you build this Tribe if you’re just starting out? In this week’s episode of the CRUSH METHOD Podcast, we’re rolling up our sleeves along with you, to show you The First Steps to Start Building Your Tribe.

**Believe it or not, the most important “ingredient” in coaching success is NOT your:

Niche

Message

Or even your offer (GASP! Marketing Heresy!!!)

Those things are important for sure, and they can give you some quick wins, and some quick sales.

But to have long term coaching success you absolutely need this:

(Hint: Chris and I “TELL ALL” in the video.)

This “ingredient” will help you make more sales, sure. But there’s something much more important and much more valuable that it does for you as well.

When you have this ingredient, you now have a place in the market where you fit in perfectly...

A place free from competition…

And a place where you feel safe and supported to give your best gifts to the people who benefit from them most!

In other words, you feel the great and wonderful feeling of satisfaction you should feel as a coach - without the pressure from you feeling the need to know everything or “have it all figured out”.

And without this one “ingredient”, I don’t see how any coach can maintain any long term success (or sanity :)

**(Don’t we always get these revelations at the weirdest times?).

But that ONE REALIZATION is what brought the whole CRUSH method together (and launched me to earn $84,000 in just 6 weeks!).

I tell you the whole story this week!**

**Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by all you have to do, all your responsibilities, and all the people who count on you?

Or is it just me? :)

In this week’s episode of the CRUSH METHOD VLOG, we reveal the ONE WORD that rescued me from drowning in that feeling of overwhelm…**

Recently we hosted Dane Short in The CRUSH Method Facebook Group to chat about transformation, building businesses, and the essential marketing tool of storytelling. The interview was so darn good, we had to download it and share it with you!
