Take Your Coaching Business Anywhere – with Simon Cook | The Coach Trap
Ever dreamed of running your coaching business from a tropical island?
In this episode of The Coach Trap, we’re joined by Simon Cook — a coach who took that dream and turned it into a permanent lifestyle. He packed up his business, moved to the Cayman Islands, and now runs his coaching practice entirely online… from paradise.
But this isn’t just a highlight reel.
Simon shares the unfiltered truth about what worked, what flopped, and what nobody tells you about going global. From timezone chaos to cultural adaptation, raising a family as digital nomads, and navigating breathwork, moon phases, and client expectations — it’s all here.
Dan and I also open up about taking The Coach Trap international, including the behind-the-scenes wins and setbacks of building a coaching brand from anywhere in the world.
🔑 Topics We Cover:
Making the leap: How Simon moved his coaching business abroad
Avoiding rookie mistakes in remote coaching
