The Power of Coaching: A Story of Business Transformation - From £80 to £1,500 per Course

In this episode, Jo & Vicky reshare the story of how they met, why and how they set up The Canine Business Academy and Let´s Talk Dog Business Podcast which have both grown at a phenomenal rate. Vicky shares how meeting Jo and being coached by her transformed her approach, which enabled her to go from charging only £80 for her dog training to having clients scrambling to pay her £1,500.  This eye-opening episode contains some real golden nuggets and ah-ha moments. It will help you understand why it´s time to invest in yourself so you can take your current business to the next level and leverage your knowledge to create multiple streams of income.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Following the traditional dog training paths only got Jo & Vicky so far. They were working long hours for little reward. Trying to be a Jack of all trades and offer too many services wasted a lot of energy. Having to work so many hours and still not making ends meet was soul destroying and unsustainable.  When you are working too hard, it is difficult to find the time to pause and reflect on what you can do instead. But if you don´t do this and change how you are working, you remain stuck living a life that drains you. You have to invest in yourself to be able to take things to the next level.  Coaching is highly effective, you learn fast and get incredible support from someone who has been where you are now, Once you have committed to changing your business, go all in. The right coach will push you, so you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Once you have created one successful business, setting up another one is much easier. You need to believe in your true value and charge accordingly. When Vicky went from charging £80 to £997, clients who´d done the puppy class for £80 went ahead and paid Vicky £997, then £1,500.
