Over the past few weeks, I've had eye-opening discussions with numerous successful coaches who have scaled their businesses to impressive heights. And yet, many of them confessed to me that they've fallen out of love with their businesses along the way. This got me thinking deeply about how the relentless push to scale as coaches may be negatively impacting us and our clients.
Hear my thoughts on the dark side of scaling your coaching business, and how, while there is nothing inherently wrong with it, you must be tapped into your reasons for why you want to do it. I explore the âscale at all costsâ mentality, how it can lead you down an unfulfilling path and even hinder client results, and why more money and clients don't always equal more fulfillment and impact as a coach.
