The Coaching Industry Sucks - a podcast by Jos Willard

Welcome to the first episode of Profit for Coaches, a podcast for coaches or coaches-to-be like you who work hard to make a positive difference to your clients. I’m Jos Willard and I’m NOT your typical business coach. I’m here to help good coaches and service professionals build PROFITABLE practices so that you are rewarded for making a positive impact on the world. This podcast will bring you the information, resources, expertise, and perspectives to allow your practice to flourish, and in turn, reward you fairly. If you are a coach who feels like your efforts are being swamped by the grind of marketing and client retention then please stay with us, we’re just getting started!

In today’s debut episode, I address what’s wrong with the coaching industry and what I think you and I should do about it. I discuss the pitfalls of amassing a large client base that can lead you into a cycle of selling programs instead of coaching people. I discuss why most good coaches are struggling to make a respectable profit, and what the dirty little secrets are behind those who do manage a top-level six-figure revenue. I will also explain why coaches need coaches, and why this podcast is the first step to fixing the coaching industry.

 

“You are an amazing human being. You are a coach or expert who works hard to make a positive difference for your clients” - Jos Willard 

“Instead of a coaching practice, you now own a marketing company that markets and sells programs. You’re not coaching. Or at least you’re not coaching very much” – Jos Willard

“There is a better way. You can build a very profitable coaching practice where you pocket 250 to $500,000 a year or more working 30 or so hours a week.” – Jos Willard

“You’re a coach. You believe in constant self-improvement. You believe in a growth mindset. You believe in lifelong learning. You believe in exploring and sometimes even adopting different perspectives” – Jos Willard 

“As coaches we also tend to be optimists because we know that any situation can be improved with the right tools properly applied.” – Jos Willard
