#38. How to get out of your own way & listen to your own advice
In this episode, I address the irony that as coaches we can give great advice to our clients, such as invest in yourself, whilst completely ignoring it ourselves.
Only to wonder why our businesses get stuck, and we don't grow.
Here's a hard look at the impact of self-investment, the mistakes I've made & the true cost of staying stuck where you are.

#37 - Why Every Online Coach Sounds the Same (And How to Fix It)
Why do so many online coaches look and sound exactly the same right now?
Same hooks.
Same content ideas.
Same offers.
Same “systems”.
In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest problems I’m seeing in the coaching industry, which is everyone using the same playbook and it killing their voice.
A lot of mentors sell “business systems” that promise client growth. But when hundreds of coaches follow the exact same system, they all end up looking identical.
And when everyone looks the same, no one stands out.
Instead, I explain why the real answer is understanding the principles behind successful coaching businesses, rather than just copying someone else's system.
I talk about:
• Why copy-paste business systems often fail
• The difference between systems and principles
• Why your personality is your biggest competitive advantage
• How to create content that actually shows who you are
• Why so many coaches accidentally remove their own uniqueness
At the end of the day, your voice, experience, and perspective are what make your coaching business different.
And if you lose that, you lose the one thing that actually makes you stand out.

#35. The Harsh Realities Of Building An Online Coaching Business
In this episode, I go through the realities of building an online coaching business, and cut through the BS that I am seeing on Instagram, YouTube, and spouted from various "mentors" telling you that it is easy to achieve a 6-figure business.
It can definitely be done, I've done it and helped people do the same, but we need to understand "how" before we start, invest £10,000 into a mentor and then feel dejected after not making it after 3 months.
