498. The #1 Mistake Coaches Make That Keep Them In Feast Or Famine Mode
One of the biggest mistakes I see coaches make is constantly chasing the next strategy. They sign a few clients, have a slow month, decide whatever they were doing isn't working, and move on to the next freebie, workshop, or launch. And then they wonder why they're still struggling to get consistent clients.
Today, I'm breaking down why constantly switching strategies keeps you stuck in feast-or-famine mode, the difference between unpredictable revenue and unpredictable client acquisition, and why having one repeatable promotion is so important.
We're also talking about why you need to STOP abandoning a strategy just because it didn't work the first time, how to use your numbers to figure out what's actually going wrong, and why getting consistent clients doesn't mean getting the exact same results every month. Because you don't need to keep reinventing how you get clients. You need a strategy you can run, learn from, refine, and get better at every single time.
If you've been signing clients here and there but keep jumping from one strategy to the next hoping something will finally bring you consistent sales, then this episode is for you.
