In this episode, I break down why the traditional coaching business model is failing and how service providers can take advantage of this shift. After burning my coaching business to the ground in 2023, I realized that done-with-you offers are the riskiest model to build—and I’ll show you why. I dive into the fatal flaws of coaching, the power of done-for-you services, and how hybrid business models are the future. If you're a coach, consultant, or service provider, this episode will help you future-proof your business and create sustainable, recurring revenue.
