The Coaching Business Flywheel is the culmination of Robbie Swale’s seven years of supporting coaches to grow their coaching businesses and five years of interviewing coaches on this podcast. It is his attempt to take all that work and answer the question: how do you grow a coaching business?
In this episode, the first in a series exploring this question and model, Robbie and Ruth slow down to explain how the Flywheel can support you in creating an authentic, sustainable coaching business.
Robbie shares the origin of The Coaching Business Flywheel, and why he thinks this is an important contribution to the field, including what he got wrong when he first delivered talks and workshops about flywheels and coaching businesses.
In this episode, we cover:
The five fundamental things you HAVE to do as a coach if you want a sustainable business (and why no coach can have a business without them).
How a flywheel can be used to create a virtuous cycle in any business, and what that looks like for coaches.
Why this isn’t six easy steps to six figures in six months.
Why practising each element on the Flywheel is desirable regardless of the business outcomes.
The next episode in the series will be out in a couple of weeks.
