Episode 22 - A Content Mistake: 1 Thing Coaches Should Stop Doing Now29 May 202400:21:28

In this episode, I tackle a thing I see so much with Endurance Coaches and their content. And 3 easy ways to start working on fixing it.

Content is such an important part of a coaches profession. It's the place that we hone our ability to effectively communicate our coaching, methodologies and how we help people. It's how we provide wins to those who are reading/following/subscribed to our content. And it helps us get more inquires and eventually new athletes.

What we write and how we write it is so important - we want to use our content to BUILD TRUST with those that are listening. This thing some (or many) coaches are doing is holding you back from building max trust with your people!

Sometimes a coaching match is not a good one! In this episode, we navigate how to get more ideal athletes to work with you by your sales call/inquiry process and weed out ones that potentially won't work and what to do after the relationship has started and it goes sour.

This episode will help endurance coaches navigate what matters to the coach in the relationship, determine your no-go's and how to listen better to red flags in the sales process. And then what to do when it doesn't work.

Episode 20 - Monthly Mindset #215 May 202400:21:37

Hurray for the second instalment in the series on The Endurance Coachpreneur on Mindset! Each month I will bring you a new episode about one of my favorite topics!

This month, we dive into a personal favorite, the mindset of time (timelines, staying in the present, procrastination, and more). Listen here for explanations, practical tips and advice to help you tackle this and other mindset issues.

In the Dream to 6, mindset calls are the most popular and most well attended and I hope you enjoy and find them as helpful as my coaches do!

How do 6 figure Coaches do it? Discover how to fill your athlete rosters & get FREEDOM with my 6 Figure Steps blueprint. Master these 4 steps to go from struggling coach to unstoppable & profitable business owner!!!

The 6 Figure Steps Masterclass is being held on Wednesday May 15th (TODAY) at 1pm Eastern.  A recording will be provided to registrants.

Episode 37 - To Use AI in Your Content or Not?11 Sep 202400:23:49

What a controversial topic in Endurance Coaching - should you use AI in your content?!?! First, I dive into why or why not you should use AI in your plan writing (short answer is NO) and my reasons why if you are thinking about making the switch.

Next up, I provide my 7 tips or reasons to use ChatGPT in your content creation. Should it write stuff for you and then you cut and paste? NOOOOOOO!! 

But, what are some other ways to use it to clean up your writing or get ideas? Prompts are included in this episode :)

The DREAM TO 6 program has RE-OPENED!! 
Most certification programs are completely focused on helping you learn how to coach but spend almost no time teaching you how to get athletes. AND, DIY learning how to run your business and bring in athletes will take forever (not to mention $$$$ cost a lot due to lost income) and even worse so many coaches quit before the two year mark because it’s so HARD to grow alone.

Athletes need your help to rapidly improve, why would you expect anything different for growing your business. Mentorship is cheat code!

That's why I created the DREAM to 6, to help you grow your amazing dream business so that you can increase your impact with more athletes but also grow wildly profitable.

Episode 2 - Are you a Coachpreneur?10 Jan 202400:20:48

In this episode, I dive deep into the 5 key distinctions between an Endurance Coachpreneur and a Hobbyist Coach. Obviously, not all coaches will fit 100% in either of the options: hobbyist or Endurance Coachpreneur. But, it’s a great exercise to think and even journal about.

Are you looking to do this to be a hobby - something fun to enhance your life, but with no interest (or even belief) that it could ever be more?

Or do you believe strongly that not only are you a coach business owner but that you are also an entrepreneur? Capable of making your baby (you think of your business fondly like this) into some growing, hugely impactful thing? It’s a key distinction.

Episode 34 - How to Keep an Athlete for Life21 Aug 202400:24:53

As much as we want athletes to stay with us for life, many will eventually leave due to their own life changes.

But we, as coaches, do share a role in keeping them in sport for a long time, and making sure they build their training towards big scary goals in a sustainable way.

If they stay in sport - they stay with us for life.

But first it's our job to help them stay in sport :)

Episode 33 - The Best Time of the Year!14 Aug 202400:15:51

You may have guessed right, the best time of the year is SELLING SEASON! This is crucial time on the calendar when 40-60% of inquiries for coaching come in - typically between September and mid-Winter, January-ish. 

In this episode, we describe the WHY this happens now, as well as the 5 areas you need to focus on to optimize this time of the year to:

1. Get more than your share of inquiries

2. Retain your current athletes as much as possible 

3. Refresh your front end systems and be prepared for new inquiries efficiently with your back end systems

And more!

Episode 40 - A Reframe That Will Save You So Much Time and Energy02 Oct 202400:19:36

How do you approach problems in your business? Can you reframe them into something positive? In this episode, I review why problems can actually be a good thing, how to shift your thinking about them, and how the number of problems you can handle can be a look into how big you can grow your business currently.

The DREAM TO 6 program has RE-OPENED!!

Most certification programs are completely focused on helping you learn how to coach but spend almost no time teaching you how to get athletes. DIY-learning how to run your business and bring in athletes will take forever (not to mention $$$$ cost a lot due to lost income). Even worse, so many coaches quit before the two year mark because it’s so HARD to grow alone.

Athletes need your help to rapidly improve. Why would you expect anything different for growing your business? Mentorship is a cheat code!

Starting on October 21st, I will be hosting a super fun FREE CHALLENGE to help you get more ideas when creating content, as well as help you get consistent now!

What you will get in the first ever Dream Content Challenge:

1. You will learn what to actually post to get more inquiries!

2. You will get help becoming more consistent in your content creation!

3. You will learn how to create "better" content that moves athletes quicker to inquiry!

This challenge will include daily quick trainings, content prompts and accountability, as well as a dedicated call to answer all of your content questions!

To join, https://coachmichellelake.ck.page/2024challenge or send me a DM @coachmichellelake with the word CHALLENGE to get the link to join!
