The number one complaint health coaches have when starting out in their practice revolves around client acquisition. How do we get consistent clients, especially when we are brand new to the game? How do we get clients when we aren't established and we might be on a tight budget as well? This dilemna is the main reason why health coaches never get their businesses off the ground and end up putting their certifications in the attic.

In this episode, we invited Michael Krug back to the show to share his brilliant strategy on getting consistent clients. Mike leverages Facebook groups to demonstrate his expertise and ends up getting paying customers readily willing to jump on his offers. Listen in as Mike gives a step by step approach on this art and how this cost effective approach has been the backbone of his business.

As a health coach, I really love data. We are often at a disadvantage when it comes to data because unlike doctors, we generally don't have easy access to testing or labwork. But what if we can actually access critical information that has huge health implications right from wearable tech? With the help of heart rate monitors that are easily accessible on our phones or other wearable devices, we can get to know our clients body better and help them gain better control of their stress balance and their autonomic nervous system.

To share his insights on the benefits of capturing your heart rate variability, we invited Dr. Torkil Færø to the show. Dr. Torkil is the author of The Pulse Cure and joins the show to describe how tuning into your heart rate variability can show you how your personal constitution reacts to specific stressors and help us tailor what is needed for optimal health.

How quickly we forget! Once upon a time, the online fitness and coaching world wasn't a thing. Then the world changed. We all adapted to a world where we moved our lives online. Still, that transition isn't easy and there's a lot of mistakes a health coach or a trainer can make that can stall their success.

To demonstrate how he navigated the transition and how he built a booming online business, we invited Cody Watkins to the show. Dubbed the “King of Transformation,” Cody is a renowned
online fitness coach with an amazing story. Starting his fitness journey at 15, he quickly rose to become a top trainer and then boldly launched his own online coaching business, which
he has now scaled worldwide. With a holistic approach to health and fitness, Cody empowers others to overcome their challenges and transform their body, mindset, and life. His influence extends far and wide, with over 75,000+ followers on Instagram and thousands of clients all over the planet.

Health coaches are naturally helpers. We authentically care about our clients and are out for their best interests. This puts us at a distinct business advantage! Putting clients first is essential for building a successful business. This approach fosters loyalty, trust, and positive word-of-mouth referrals. When clients feel valued and understood, they are more likely to remain loyal and recommend your services to others. This client-centric approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also drives business growth and sustainability.

Stephanie Fusnik joins the show to drive this point home. Stephanie is nutrition coach, personal trainer, manual osteopathic and neurokinetic therapist, public speaker, and CEO of VitalityOET. VitalityOET is a women's nutrition, health, and fitness company that focuses predominantly on women's hormones, particularly during perimenopause and onwards. The company's mission is to teach women about how their bodies change during this period of their life so that you can finally reach your health and fitness goals, feel in control and at home in your body again, live a life full of vitality, and really understand how to take care of this new body.

One of the most popular life phrases is, "It's not what you know, it's who you know". This holds true for successful health coaching practices as well. By building your network, you can get one of the most sought after leads any business owner would desire: referrals. To this day, nothing beats a referral. And mastering how to network in a way that gets you referrals will only build your bottom line.

To explain how to properly leverage your current network, we invited Kenneth Tinglum to the show. Kenneth is a nutrition expert and a National Trainer at BNI. His mission in both roles is to empower and uplift—whether it's helping business owners and professionals expand their networks and increase their revenue through building relationships and helping eachother, or guiding individuals towards their optimal health and wellness. Since 2007, he has been deeply involved in both, nurturing dynamic business networks and creating better health.

Is organic traffic dead? Not exactly. However, it isn't free. It costs a ton of time. So if you want to grow your business fast, you should consider spending money over spending your time. Health coaches can use paid ads to find more people by using ads on a variety of platforms from Facebook to Google and get themselves in front of their ideal clients in a hurry. But this is an art and we would never recommend haphazardly throwing money against the wall with ads either.

So to guide us through the world of paid ads, we invited Yuri Elkaim to the show. Yuri is the CEO of Healthpreneur and a New York Times bestselling author. Yuri overcame early health challenges and a career in professional soccer and built an online health empire, impacting over 500,000 lives and authoring three bestselling books. After selling his business in 2018, he launched Healthpreneur®, guiding health professionals in creating successful virtual practices. Since then, he has helped over 1300 entrepreneurs earn over $217M in collective revenue.
