Resilience is not grinding harder. Resilience is staying. And most entrepreneurs don't fail because they're incapable. They fail because they leave too early. Emotionally. Mentally. Sometimes physically. So today we're talking about the two traits nobody brags about on Instagram: Resilience and patience. If you're in a slower season right now, or you feel like things are not moving as fast as you want… this episode is for you. Time Stamps: (0:15) A Talk You Need At Any Stage of Business (2:17) What Resiliency Really Is (4:08) Patience Is Trust Compounding Over Time (6:00) Fear Is A Compass (8:20) Clarifying Massive Action (9:52) Protect Your Mental Inbox (11:13) Your Top 3 Priorities ---------- 🤖 Want to Steal Our 10 Proven Viral Post Templates + An AI Agent That Turns Them Into 30 Days of Personalized Client-Getting Content In Just 15 Minutes?

If you're frustrated in your business right now… It's probably not because you're lazy. It's probably not because you're bad at coaching. And it's probably not because the market is "saturated." It's because you're solving the wrong problem for the phase you're in. And today, I'm going to break down the three phases of business growth and exactly what you should be focusing on in each one. What gets you to 5K is not what gets you to 20K. What gets you to 20K will absolutely break your business at 100K. Time Stamps: (0:28) The Three Phases of Business (2:11) The Starter Phase - (0-5k) (5:12) The Growth Phase - (5-15k) (8:20) The Scaling Phase - (15k - The Moon) (12:59) Recapping ---------- 🤖 Want to Steal Our 10 Proven Viral Post Templates + An AI Agent That Turns Them Into 30 Days of Personalized Client-Getting Content In Just 15 Minutes?

Let's talk about one of the fastest ways to lose money, lose momentum, and slowly start resenting your business. It's not ads. It's not the algorithm. It's not even your offer. It's a setter who is underperforming and you keep trying to "coach it out of them" while your calendar stays empty. And here's what makes this tricky. When a setter is underperforming, most business owners do one of two things. They either micromanage every conversation like an FBI agent. Or they bury their head in the sand and hope next week magically improves. Neither one works. So today I'm going to show you exactly how to diagnose the true constraint when a setter isn't performing, and then how to lead the situation with a feedback rule that keeps your culture clean and your standards crystal clear.

Not confident in your sales strategy when a prospect says they "want to think about it"? Most coaches run directly to discounting the price or payment plans and we don't want you to be one of those coaches. In today's episode, I want to share how we teach our students to handle this objection, why it's probably not about money, and a sales reframe you'll want to write down and come back to over and over again. Time Stamps: (0:47) Why You're Really Losing Sales (2:40) "I Need To Think About It" Isn't About Money (3:55) The Sales Reframe (4:50) Don't Assume It's Money (7:38) The Only Time You Bring Money In (9:50) "What Is Hard To Say Out Loud?" ---------- 🤖 Want to Steal Our 10 Proven Viral Post Templates + An AI Agent That Turns Them Into 30 Days of Personalized Client-Getting Content In Just 15 Minutes?

If I asked you at the dinner table what you do as an online fitness coach and you can't tell me with absolute clarity, this episode and your offer is what you should work on right now. When it comes to success with our IFCA clients, when they finally nail their offer and they feel confident about it, everything else starts falling into place. I'm going to give you some examples of offers I re-wrote for clients recently, how to think about your offer using the Hormozi Value Equation, how you can use our AI software to upgrade your offer, and more!

Are you tired of performing great on sales calls only to lose them at the very end when you bring up the price? Not only are these failed sales calls a hit to your revenue but they are also a hit to your confidence. Today I'm breaking down the Triple Tie Down System—the exact financial objection framework we used to average a 66% close rate over 5 years. After this episode, we hope you are able to upgrade how you approach sales objections and are able to meet the prospect where they are at.

If you are in a season where you feel like your business is on fire, and you cannot tell if it is actually on fire or if you are just mentally setting it on fire because you are stressed, this episode is for you. Because I said something on an Open Office Hour call recently that I want to tattoo on the inside of every entrepreneur's eyelids. When I do not have clarity on what is actually happening in my business, my default is: everything is wrong. Everything is broken. Everything is failing. Everything is about to fall apart. And then my brain does what brains do, it starts trying to solve 17 problems at once, and I spiral, and I feel heavy, and I feel panicky, and then I start making dumb decisions from that energy. So today, I want to give you a simple framework that will stop that spiral fast. Not in a fluffy, "just journal and breathe" way. In a CEO way. In a "give me the truth so I can take action" way. Time Stamps: (0:30) Actual Fire vs Emotional Fire (2:31) Open Your Tracker (3:28) What Spiraling Really Means (15:50) Don't Discount Out Of Fear ---------- 🤖 Want to Steal Our 10 Proven Viral Post Templates + An AI Agent That Turns Them Into 30 Days of Personalized Client-Getting Content In Just 15 Minutes?

I'm about to be really open and honest with you and share some of the huge mistakes and learning lessons that we made in 2024. I want to help you avoid these. And I also just want to be transparent. Not all years are great years. We've had tough years in the past. 2025 was no different in some regards and I want to open up about 3 mistakes that we made, 2 that were strategic errors and one "mistake" that was just a consequence of getting Erin and I out of the business full time.

If you want to build a business that gives you freedom, flexibility, and a life you don't grow to hate, listen to this ASAP. Today I'm sitting down with Camden Mamian - someone who's been in our world for a while now, and his story is absolutely insane. We're talking college dropout, making $500 a month in 2022... to now closing in on $700K this year. Ocean-view penthouse in San Diego, 12K on Instagram, and a business that actually gives him his life back. But here's what I love about Camden's story - it's not clean. It's not perfect. He's had to fight through real constraints, money mindset stuff, and figuring out what it actually takes to scale past $500K. So if you're anywhere between $5K and $50K a month and you're wondering what the next level actually looks like... this one's for you.

If your show rate drops, your close rate dips, and your calendar starts looking like a ghost town, I need you to hear me. That does not automatically mean your business is broken. Sometimes your business is fine. Your nervous system is just screaming that it is not. And if you are a business owner responsible for other people's livelihoods, that pressure hits different. It is heavy. It can feel personal. It can feel like you are failing, even when you are not. So today, I want to talk about the CEO mindset for slow months, weird months, December months, and any season where you are doing all the right things and results still feel… off. Because this is hard. And hard does not mean wrong.

I used to work 70 hours a week. Grinding to make 30-40K/ month. I used to wonder how I'd ever have a family AND the life that I wanted. In the 3-4 years before having my son… I figured it out. I was able to scale from 40K to 140K/month and I went from working 70 hours a week in that business to 4 hours a week in that business. Delegation and leadership played a part but the BIGGEST difference was learning how to increase LTV of every single client that came into my coaching (so I could work with LESS clients and make MORE money) and that's what I want to talk to you about today. We'll talk about what LTV actually looks like, what you need before you start running ads, how to not make the same mistake I made that costs me 6 figures, and more!

Great stuff. Thank you!
21:00 This really resonated with me. I do fitness training because I am passionate about it. However, I also need to make a living so I understand I need to learn marketing and sales. It really irritates me to see people out there lose some weight with some program like Beach Body then start positioning themselves as an expert. And more importantly a lot of these people seem to be just in it for the money. As I said before I want the money but that is so I can earn a living perfecting my craft and providing the best possible results. Walk the walk and talk the talk. Further your education and strive to be a master. Don't just try to sell some generic products to make a few bucks. If you really believe in those products great but don't stop there. Continue to learn and grow so you can provide more value 💯
Spoke too soon. Realized you address this later on in the call.
Good insights. As far as the market research bit how would you recommend that I phrase my survey copy to increase engagement? I have tried this exercise before and it was hard to get people to talk to.
Thanks for this episode, took a lot from it 👌
100% my favorite podcast, I listen to you guys on my way to and from work and it always keeps me motivated in multiple aspects 👍
I love this podcast!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait for more!
