Tired of the feast-or-famine cycle in your coaching business? Part 1 of this 3-part series walks you through a strategic business audit to fill your coaching client roster in 2026. No fluff, just actionable data collection. I break down the 5 critical areas every coach needs to analyze before planning next year: revenue reality checks, time and energy allocation, marketing effectiveness, client analysis, and your "stop doing this" list. Whether you served 5 clients or 100 this year, this episode teaches you how to identify what's actually working in your business so you can double down on revenue-generating activities and eliminate busy work. Discover why 90% of my clients come from just two sources, how to track lead origins effectively, and why making decisions from emotion instead of data keeps you stuck in those business highs and lows.
