The Dream to 6 Program is just about 2 years old and I thought it was a great time to discuss all the details of our signature program - how we help intermediate to advanced coaches break through plateaus, confusion, and burnout to build their Dream Coaching Businesses. How we have helped over 100 coaches go from Coach to Coachpreneur - not only be great coaches, but transform into great business owners that are profitable, scaling and feeling GREAT about their businesses once again.

How do you approach problems in your business? Can you reframe them into something positive? In this episode, I review why problems can actually be a good thing, how to shift your thinking about them, and how the number of problems you can handle can be a look into how big you can grow your business currently.
The DREAM TO 6 program has RE-OPENED!!
Most certification programs are completely focused on helping you learn how to coach but spend almost no time teaching you how to get athletes. DIY-learning how to run your business and bring in athletes will take forever (not to mention $$$$ cost a lot due to lost income). Even worse, so many coaches quit before the two year mark because it’s so HARD to grow alone.Athletes need your help to rapidly improve. Why would you expect anything different for growing your business? Mentorship is a cheat code!

As much as we want athletes to stay with us for life, many will eventually leave due to their own life changes.
But we, as coaches, do share a role in keeping them in sport for a long time, and making sure they build their training towards big scary goals in a sustainable way.
If they stay in sport - they stay with us for life.
But first it's our job to help them stay in sport :)

It's so common to think - why don't I stay super broad and then I won't offend anyone and then also be able to coach everyone? This couldn't be further from the truth. When you try to attract everyone, you attract no one!
