The Ultimate Blueprint: How to Add $1-2K Per Week to Your Coaching Business 💰 In today's masterclass, I'm breaking down the exact system I've given to over 11,868 coaches that they've used to add an extra $1-2K per week in revenue to their coaching business. This isn't theory - this is the proven blueprint that's helped my clients go from struggling with a few hundred followers to making $10K, $60K, even $200K+ per month. Real quick - I run a company called PT Domination where I help coaches start and scale successful online businesses. My biggest flex? I've helped 11,865 coaches build real businesses, and we maintain a 1% dispute rate because 99% of our clients are satisfied with the service. That's fucking insane when you think about it. I'm going to show you exactly why views don't equal clients, how to use hyper-specific messaging to stand out in a saturated market, and how to capitalize on the holidays (November and December should be your record-breaking months, not slow months). Plus, I'm breaking down the exact follower ad strategy that's getting my clients 50 cents to $1 per follower while they book 1-2 sales calls every single day. Top Quotes: "Views do not equal clients. That's a super fucking important distinction to make. So many fitness coaches are posting on social media, trying to get more views. But views do not equal clients." (4:59) "The holidays are not a slow time for fitness coaches. The holidays are the busiest time of the year. November and December should be your record-breaking months. Black Friday every year is a record-breaking month across all coaching programs." (20:27) "You guys think that people are gonna line up and send you cash just because they're following you or engaging with your content.,, Your only intention as an online coach who wants to make an extra 1-2k a week is to get more conversations in the inbox."

If you're selling my content as your own, you're getting kicked out immediately 🚫 In this raw episode of podchats, I'm setting the record straight on something that recently happened inside my 10K mastermind - and it's not pretty. Because I just had to remove someone from the program for stealing and reselling my content. Look, I've spent years building this knowledge, testing these strategies, and dialing in what actually works. So if you think you can just take what I teach and package it as your own, you're about to get a reality check. And yeah, I'm calling this shit out publicly because it needs to be said. But beyond that? This episode is packed with real coaching calls where I help my clients break through their biggest obstacles - from closing 4 clients out of a 10-person challenge, to dealing with buyer's remorse, to finally cracking the content code that gets results. If you're serious about building a real coaching business with integrity, this one's for you. 💯 Top Quotes: "If I ever find out that any of you guys are doing that, you'll be blacklisted immediately. This is taking me a long fucking time to learn the shit myself and dial this in and hone it in. So if I find out that you're taking my shit and selling my shit, I will be fucking booting you out immediately." (0:40) "So if I'm on a call with the prospect and they're super hesitant or super nervous... I'm like, 'Can I be real with you for a second? I'm 100% confident that your life is going to be drastically different in 16 weeks time from now.'" (3:37) "I think you should treat all of them like they want to buy your stuff until they tell you otherwise. And so, all of them get run through the same process."

You're expecting results way too fast... and that's why you're failing 😤 In this unfiltered episode with my business partner and best friend, we're calling out the biggest problem plaguing every entrepreneur trying to make it online - your timeline expectations are completely fucked. Want to know what it actually takes to build something real? I spent $344,500 on my media team over 13 months before we started seeing any return. That's right - over a quarter million dollars just set on fire while I waited for the results to show up. And you're over here, scared to buy a fucking camera or invest in a course because you might not see ROI in 30 days. We're breaking down why effort without expectation is the secret sauce, why most of you will quit before you ever pop off, and why releasing your timeline is the only way you'll actually achieve the goals you claim to want. If you think you're going to hit a million in six months because you have a laptop and "like to talk," you need to hear this. 💯 Top Quotes: "I share that number, $344,500, which makes me literally - ice pick in my neck a couple times when I fucking hear that number. But I share that because if I had the expectation of instant return, we would not be where we are right now." (3:41) "Hard work by itself does not equal success. Let's just have that conversation because if you're working hard at the wrong strategy, you're just doing the wrong thing. Yes, you need to work hard, but you also need to acquire new information." (7:17) "I'm absolutely certain it's going to happen. It's just a matter of time, dude. And because I don't have a single doubt in my mind about the outcome that I'm going to achieve, I've completely released the timeline in which that outcome will come to me."

Struggling to make content that actually converts? Here's what you're doing wrong 🎯 In this episode, I'm hosting another live coaching session with my clients, and we're diving deep into the exact mechanics of creating content that doesn't just get views—but actually signs clients. From understanding the difference between awareness content and conversion content to mastering the psychology of viral hooks, I'm breaking down why most coaches are posting surface-level value that goes nowhere. You'll hear me work with multiple clients on transforming their content strategy, fixing their DM game, and understanding what really makes people stop scrolling and take action. And here's the truth: most of you are creating content that makes you look like a fitness influencer instead of a coach who can actually solve their problems. 💥 So if you're posting consistently but not booking calls, getting engagement but no conversions, or wondering why your "value content" isn't moving the needle... this episode is going to completely shift how you approach content creation. Because when you nail the fundamentals of conversion-focused content, everything changes. 🔥 Top Quotes: "This is surface level value. It's surface level and I'll tell you why it's surface level because you're not speaking to your ideal client." (4:04) "Typically speaking, awareness content will perform better because it's more widely relatable. But the goal with awareness content is they follow you, and then they will still see your conversion content. Not everyone's gonna engage with it, but they'll still see it." (8:22) "The assumption that you have to make is that when people are scrolling through social media, in the first three seconds, you need to tell them why they should watch your video."

Looking to close more sales but struggling with the basics? Here's what you're missing 📞 In this episode, I'm hosting a group coaching session inside my high-level coaching container for coaches making $5K-$20K/month, and I'm breaking down the real fundamentals that actually move the needle in your fitness business. From presenting paid-in-full offers to running profitable challenges, we're covering everything you need to know to scale past your current plateau. You'll hear me dive deep with multiple clients on the exact scripts, strategies, and psychology behind closing more deals, increasing retention, and building unstoppable momentum. And here's the truth most coaches miss: it's not about having more strategies. It's about executing the fundamentals at a level most people never reach. 💪 So if you're booking calls but struggling to close, running challenges that flop, or wondering why your group coaching calls feel empty... this episode is going to give you the exact playbook to fix it. Because when you nail the basics and execute them relentlessly, scaling to $25K-$30K months becomes inevitable. 🔥 Top Quotes: "People are going to buy whatever you put in front of them. So if you want to sell more paid-in-fulls when you price-present your offer, just present it and be a little hesitant on the payment plan." (1:25) "You could be doing $25,000 to $30,000 a month seriously within the next 60 days. Because when you get the influx of people to take you up on your coaching offer, your business is doing $25,000 to $30,000 a month." (10:10) "In my opinion, you can never do too much social proof. There's only not enough. The reason people aren't pulling the trigger on sales calls is because they just haven't seen enough clients you're working with. That's it."

Are you actually messaging every single follower that comes in? 🤔 In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a live 10k Mastermind coaching call where I help my clients (who are making anywhere from $5k to $20k per month) solve their biggest problems in real time. From boosted posts to Black Friday prep, from hiring VAs to running challenges that actually convert—we're covering it all. You'll hear me break down the exact metrics that matter when running paid ads (hint: it's not what you think), the psychology behind magnetic giveaways, and why 99.9% of you should NOT hire a virtual assistant right now. Plus, I'm calling out the mistakes that are costing you sales and showing you exactly how to fix them. If you're stuck at your current income level and wondering what's actually holding you back from scaling to $10k, $15k, or even $25k per month, this episode will give you the blueprint. Because the difference between where you are and where you want to be isn't another strategy—it's executing the fundamentals with precision. 💰 Top Quotes: "The number one leading indicator that you're looking for is how much money did you spend versus how much money did you make back." (10:18) "You never, ever, ever book more than 48 hours out. If you do, your show rates will decrease dramatically." (46:10) "I think you guys have the potential to be doing $100,000 a month with your own fitness coaching offer. You guys have the audience, you have the operation, you have all the intangibles. You just have to ask yourself what's important to you."

Allow me to reintroduce myself: why I disappeared and what I'm doing differently now 🎙️ In this episode, I'm back after months away from solo podcasting, and I'm pulling back the curtain on why I stopped, what's changed, and where we're going from here. Because the truth is, I got bored talking about the same beginner shit when it became second nature, lost my live streaming in March, and watched my podcast downloads drop from 100k to 33k a month. Ouch.  But here's what brought me back: I'm on a mission to scale from one million to two million dollars a month, and that journey required me to make some of the hardest decisions of my life - including letting go of 15 team members, some who'd been with me for years. And I realized I needed to start talking about what I'm actually learning and working on right now, not recycling the same old content. So if you're stuck at a plateau and wondering why you can't break through to the next level... tune into this episode 🔥 Top Quotes: "You only have 16 waking hours. And in those 16 waking hours, the people, places, circumstances, and things that you spend your time on are going to determine your success or failure in life." (6:40) "Some people are in your life for a season, and that season, if you just continue to hold onto it, can become your entire life." (6:06) "I know what I'm capable of. I know what I deserve. I know that I am worthy. And I'm not willing to accept anything less than excellence in my life. In every area."

Your friends right now won't be there when you make it to the top (and that's okay) 💔 In this episode, Cole and I are diving into one of the most painful truths about success that nobody wants to talk about: the people in your life right now probably won't be there when you reach your goals. And before you get defensive, hear us out - because this isn't about being a shitty friend or thinking you're better than everyone else. The reality is, you can't grow into the person you want to become while hanging around people who keep you stuck as who you were. We break down the difference between givers and takers, why some people hide their laziness behind false ambition, and the heartbreaking moment when you realize someone you care about is actually slowing you down - even if they're a good person. We also get real about the "lonely chapter" every entrepreneur goes through, where you don't fit in with your old crew anymore but haven't quite leveled up enough to connect with the people where you're trying to go. It's uncomfortable as f*ck, but it's the price you pay for transformation. So if you're holding onto friendships that are dragging you down because you're afraid of being alone or you feel guilty... this one's for you.  Top Quotes: "I'm not willing to compromise the place that I'm trying to get to, or the destination I'd like to reach, or my own quality of life, to keep somebody in my life that isn't willing to walk that fucking path with me." (2:33) "You are currently sitting in quicksand with just my nose and my mouth sticking out of the fucking sand itself. That's how it feels trying to grow and scale in business, trying to grow and scale on social media, trying to break free of old identity to become the new version of you." (14:27) "Trees don't hang out with the grass even though they started at the same place. They continue to grow to become what they were meant to be instead of sticking around with the thing that they started with."
