Open call: what are you building, and what do you need?
A standing thread for the thing that is hardest to find — the specific person who has done the thing you are about to do. Post what you are building and what would actually help: a collaborator, an introduction, someone…

Is a paid community worth adding to a coaching business?
Only if you can answer what happens in it when you are not there. A paid community where the value is your presence is a coaching programme with worse margins — you still have to show up, and now you have to show up…

I have expertise and clients but no system. Where do I start?
Start where things are actually breaking, not at the beginning of a checklist. Most people in this position have the same three leaks, in this order: 1. **Enquiries go nowhere specific.** They arrive across email, DMs…

Having an audience and owning one are not the same thing

Cohort or evergreen? The honest trade-off nobody mentions
Both work. They fail differently, and that is the part worth knowing before you choose. **Cohorts** produce better outcomes and better testimonials, because a deadline and a group create accountability a recording…

How are consultants actually getting their first 10 clients?
Not the advice version — the real version. Almost nobody's first ten come from content, ads or a funnel. They come from people who already knew the person could do the work: former colleagues, former clients, and the…

How much should an executive coach charge for a 12-week programme?
This comes up more than anything else, so here is a starting frame rather than a number. Hourly pricing caps you at your calendar and makes the client buy *time*, which is the one thing neither of you wants to be…
