There are many challenges in taking your coaching business to 7 figures and beyond. These challenges can affect all areas of your business - not having enough time to build your authority, marketing your brand, and hitting an income ceiling. 

In this episode of Next Level Influence, Samantha Riley and Melanie Benson dive into a topic that they’re both passionate about - how to coach at 7- figures and beyond. Many coaches feel like they're stuck or not making progress, and that makes them really want to make their business even more successful.

As coaches focus on their primary growth catalyst, they tend to pivot towards strategies that allow them to grow revenue, and not so much on scaling the delivery of their coaching.  However, there also needs to be a focus on the transition from having one-on-one clients to group coaching, so the business is scalable.

Join Samantha and Melanie and discover how you can make a smooth and effective transition in your coaching business, so you can achieve your 7-figure income goal.

Here are some of the highlights of this episode:

Quotes:
"There's a lot of people that are afraid to make the transition to group coaching, and this can have a really big impact on the growth and the scalability of their business." -Samantha Riley

"I prefer to be part of a group coaching program. I love to be surrounded by people that are going through the same challenges and transitions as I am, and with the same energy of success that I'm looking for." -Samantha Riley

"I work very hard to create a place where everybody benefits from the coaching of somebody in the hot seat. I also set very powerful containers about how to show up if you're a listener, and you're not the person in the hot seat." -Melanie Benson

"There are people who join coaching programs with very little intention of actually getting a result, but they make the investment to be surrounded by the energy of other people." -Melanie Benson
