6 Reasons Coaches Struggle to Land Clients
(And the one step most avoid…)
Which step are you missing in your coaching process?
Every time I walk my coaching group through the exact system I use to enroll clients with confidence—someone always admits:
“Step 4. That’s where I freeze.”
Here’s the full breakdown:
1️. Outreach – Build real connections.
2️. Connection Call – Get clear on what they truly want.
3️. Coaching – Let them experience your expertise.
4️. Propose – Offer your solution (and actually say the price).
5️. Enrollment – Lead them to a clear yes—or no.
6️. Onboarding – Start strong with structure and trust.
Most coaches think the magic is in Step 3.
But Step 4? That’s where most lose the sale.
If your voice shakes when you say the price…
If you downplay your offer or over-explain…
That’s not confidence. That’s hesitation.
And hesitation breaks trust.
These 6 steps aren’t just strategy—they’re a rhythm.
And when you know the rhythm…
You stop chasing.
You start leading.
You can coach. But can you close?
Drop the number that throws you off—or tell me which step you want to master next.

You’re great at holding it together.
But what about everything you’ve been holding in?
You’re the high-achieving coach holding in the fear that you’ll never reach the next level.
You’re the founder holding in the pressure to keep everything running while silently burning out.
You’re the senior executive exhausted from managing your image while quietly wondering… 
“Is this really it?”
Most people won’t see it.
But you feel it.
And you’ve felt it long enough.
At some point, “high-performing” starts to feel like “high-pressure.”

But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to carry it all alone.
You’re allowed to want more—without guilt.
And you’re allowed to let go—without losing your edge.
Growth starts the moment you stop pretending you`re fine.
Drop a 🔥 if one of these hit you
Or share what you’ve been holding in that it’s time to release

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right”—but something still feels off?
You’re successful, present, capable… and somehow… a little disconnected from you.
In this video, I talk about what happens when we finally tell the truth we’ve been holding—and how sharing your story can set you free.
Tell Your Secrets: What Happens When Women Share What They`ve Been Hiding
Check it out in the comment below.
This isn’t about unraveling.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
If that line hits you somewhere deep—leave a ❤️ or say “I’m ready.”
Because naming the truth? That’s where the shift begins.
You can’t earn professional money with a hobby mindset.
Let’s not sugarcoat it—
If you want a six-figure coaching business,
you’ve got to stop treating it like a side hustle.
I see it all the time:
Brilliant coaches with a true gift for transformation—
but no structure, no systems, and no real commitment to making it work.
Then comes the frustration:
Plateaued income.
Uncertain messaging.
Crickets in the inbox.
Here’s the truth:
Hope is not a business strategy.
Convenience is not a business model.
So ask yourself:
Are you treating your coaching practice like a profession…
or a passion project?
