How do you start charging for your advice without feeling weird about it? A lot of business owners have the expertise to coach others, but turning that knowledge into a successful coaching business can feel daunting and awkward. How do you know if what you’re offering is worth the price? The real challenge isn’t what you know—it’s learning how to package that knowledge into something people are willing to pay for. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to get stuck in “free advice” mode and miss the opportunity to build a business around the insights you already have.

 

In today’s episode, hosts Bobby Richards and James Sweeting talk with Business Made Simple’s very own Donald Miller, creator of the Coach Builder framework, to give you a clear, step-by-step plan for building a thriving coaching business. Don lays out 8 essential steps that will help you professionalize your coaching, confidently charge for your expertise, and grow your business. If you’ve ever wondered how to make the leap from giving free advice to getting paid for what you know, this episode gives you the tools to make it happen. Listen in and learn how to transform the expertise you already have into a profitable revenue stream! 

 

If you're ready to turn your expertise into a profitable coaching business, head to CoachBuilder.com to schedule a call where we’ll answer all your questions and help you determine if the Coach Builder framework is the right fit for you.
