Everyone wants $1M/month.
Almost nobody makes it.
The ones who do? They play by rules you’ve never been told.
In this episode, I (Chris Dufey, Rainmakers founder, $52M/year in coaching sales) break down the hard-won lessons from 220+ hours with 6-8 figure CEOs and why most coaches will never scale past 7 figures.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
• The hidden mistake that quietly kills most founders
• The overlooked traits that separate $100K/month coaches from $1M/month CEOs
• The counterintuitive reason problems are proof you’re on the right path
• The chessboard test that reveals whether you’re really built to scale
• The $25K/month model Chris scrapped (and what he built instead)
• The formula vs. the not formula (and why most coaches are on the wrong list)
• The biggest lie in entrepreneurship and why it keeps you stuck
• Why Chris turned down the 9-figure chase most people would die for
• The conversation with a global icon that rewired how he thinks about business and life
If you want to scale big without hating your business, this episode is your blueprint.
