If you’re like most coaches, you probably started off your business with a handful of 1:1 clients. There comes a point where you want to grow your business.   But there are only so many hours in a day and there is only so much you can charge before you become unaffordable. You’re essentially trapped trading your time-for-money.   The only obvious way out from here is to start transitioning from 1:1 to a 1:many model.   And this is unfortunately right around the stage that most coaches cripple their business, under-deliver on their promises, and overwork themselves into burnout.   In this episode, you’ll learn what tiny actions you can take to overcome the overwhelm and get your business running more efficiently and profitably than it ever has before. ----- P.S.
