Welcome to the Choose Hard podcast. I'm your host, Coda McBroom. I'm a father, husband, entrepreneur,

and the founder of tailored coaching method. Today, we're going to dive into coaching. I'm going to

answer a bunch of questions that we pulled in from mentor clients, from people on Instagram,

people that have emailed me stuff. And we kind of narrowed it down to some big rocks that people

are wondering. These are from coaches. So it down to some big rocks that people are

wondering. These are from coaches. So if you are a coach, if you are a gym owner, if you're a personal

trainer, a nutritionist, whatever it may be, these are answers to your specific questions.

You may be the exact person or persons that asked about one of these things. And if not, I can almost

guarantee it is on your mind because we're going to talk about retention, the onboarding process and specific questions you should be asking your clients when you are onboarding them. We're going to talk about whether or not you should start slow and gradually build up with your client's plan or if you should just throw the whole kitchen sink at them. And my answer might surprise you there. We're going to talk about the versions of you that your client did not hire and you need to avoid being the type of coach

you don't want to be. And then we are going to dive into three different ways that your check-ins can

be more efficient without losing their effectiveness. There's ones to actually help your client

track their food. So if you're struggling to get your client to adhere to tracking and measuring food and so on and so forth, we're going to dive into four different ways that you can you can accomplish that. And then the last thing I have on this list is the three things that actually trigger your clients to refer you to more people. So I'm going to try my best to rapid fire this, but we'll see how many I get through. And this is inspired by a

couple things. And I just want to give a quick plug shout out, since it is my podcast, to the

mentorship. So my mentorship, you can head to tailored dash coaching slash mentorship dash coaching

or dash application. I can't remember. Click the link in the description. I'm going to make a

short URL. I have so many damn pages. That's one of the problems about being coach and being a business

owner. You have all these landing pages. But this was inspired by that and the upcoming mastermind that

we are hosting. So as you are listening to this, I am recording this a few weeks in advance.

So hopefully the tickets are sold out and it just crushed. But if not, you can grab tickets to you. I'm going to put a link in the description to that as well. But we are doing the yearly seminar here. We have done one two years in a row. This will be year three, and we're changing things up a little bit. The first year was so crazy. I had to extend it and make it two days because I literally was getting, people were getting kicked out of the parking lot of the plaza. My space is in my gym and offices in because I just kept going. And then year two, we expanded it to a day and a half. This year's going to be two full days. I'm going to have a guest speaker or two with me. It's going to be really fun. They're all specific to coaches. So these are specifically for coaches looking to level up and pursue scaling, pursue mastery of

their craft, pursue getting clients better results and pursue furthering your education to

be better at what you do for the people you serve. So if you're a coach, if you're a trainer,

if you're gym owner, you want to show up to the live event, to the elite coaching mastermind. We have 25 or 30 spots. I want to say we have at least 10 people already booked into it. And I haven't even posted or anything yet. So that's a good sign. But every single year, we fill this up and there's always 30 people. And it's, it's, that's about as many as we can fit in there with it still being intimate and having a lot of connection i make it very affordable because i already pay rent here i don't
