Stop spinning your wheels and start filling your coaching roster with clients you actually love working with. In Part 2 of my three-part series on how to get coaching clients in 2026, I'm breaking down the exact five focus areas that fill client rosters without burning you out in the process. After hitting burnout at the peak of my health coaching business (40-50 one-on-one clients will do that), I vowed to build differently. Now I have dream clients, a dream business model, and actual breathing room in my schedule. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "premium client clarity" beats "ideal client" every single time How to optimize your offers so they actually fill (not sit empty) Why your email list matters more than your social media in 2026 Strategic visibility tactics that extend your reach without exhausting you The revenue-generating activities (RGAs) that should dominate your calendar This isn't fluffy goal-setting. These are the fundamentals that work when you actually focus on them, whether you're building to 20 clients or scaling into the millions. Ready to implement this in real time?

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.

Want the fastest way to position yourself as THE expert coaches seek out? Public speaking changes everything. Speaking expert Colin Boyd (author of "One Presentation Away") reveals why coaches who speak get instant market leadership and exactly how to craft presentations that convert. Colin shares how his income tripled in 12 months when he niched down, plus the "core premise" framework that creates that red thread through every presentation. You'll discover why clarity beats cleverness, how one of his clients generates $400K monthly running just two webinars, and the specific language patterns that turn "nice feedback" into booked-out client rosters. Whether you're terrified of speaking or already presenting but not converting, this episode gives you the roadmap to become an irresistible speaker who attracts dream clients every time.

This week: The Real Reason Your Coaching Business Still Feels Like a Hobby
Want a full client roster in 2026? The strategies you've been chasing won't work without this foundation. In this episode, I'm sharing the three anchored beliefs that separate coaches who build thriving businesses from those who stay stuck. These aren't fluffy affirmations. They're the internal commitments that my most successful students embody every single day. You'll learn: → The "I'm not going back" belief and why one toe in gets you one toe in results → Why your money mindset determines whether you stay a hobby coach or become a profitable one → The time commitment truth that changed everything when I was building in the margins Plus, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's working right now in this trust recession—and why I canceled my webinar subscription to go back to basics with high-touch strategies. If you're ready to step into 2026 as the fully embodied entrepreneur coach you're meant to be, this episode is your starting point.

What does it actually take to go from scattered coach speaking "too coachy" to confidently attracting dream clients everywhere you go? Former teacher Ana Cortes-Holbert reveals exactly how she tripled her coaching income after getting crystal clear on WHO she serves and HOW to talk about it. No complicated funnels. No paid ads. Just authentic conversations that convert. In this episode, you'll discover: -The exact moment Ana's business transformed (hint: it started with ONE clear statement about who she helps) -Why speaking "coach language" was keeping her broke—and what she did instead -Her organic client attraction system that brings clients from the gym, planes, networking events, and even the locker room -The mindset shift from "I want to save everyone" to "I serve overachieving women who tie their worth to achievements" -How she's now contributing $7,000 to family vacations and setting aside quarterly taxes Ana's story proves you don't need a massive following, complex funnels, or years of experience. What you need is clarity, confidence, and the courage to have authentic conversations about what you do.

This week: The Signature Framework Formula That Eliminates Client Objections
Today I'm sharing what three real coaches did differently to increase their prices by $2,000, make 20X their investment back in less than two weeks, and transform their entire business confidence in just a few weeks.

In this case study episode, you'll hear exactly what happened when three different coaches stopped second-guessing their expertise and created frameworks that backed up every promise they made to clients. Plus: Details about the Framework Builder Lab live cohort starting October 22 - the lowest price this container will ever be for eight weeks of live coaching, real-time accountability, and a complete framework. Your framework isn't just how you help clients - it's how you build the confidence to do everything you're capable of.
