Busy but Not Growing? Why Online Coaches Burn Out | Ask Brian

Working hard on an online coaching business but still not seeing progress? In this Ask Brian episode, a personal trainer asks about burnout while juggling in-person sessions and a move online. Brian uses a marathon-training analogy to show how effort can be misdirected. He explains the importance of a specific audience and offer, talks through four levels of access in his business, and describes how he repurposes content for people who prefer to watch, listen or read. The second half looks at lead generation, delivery systems and the work a coach can delegate to create capacity.
