The One Where I Started a Group Coaching Program (That Eventually Grew to 500 People)

Our story today starts, like most of my stories, on my couch.


 


In the last episode, we talked about the gritty details behind
the group coaching business model. Today, I want to tell you the
origin story of my very first group coaching program–one that
eventually grew to over 500 people!


 


Our story begins with another company. It’s true! Because besides
Coach Pony, I also own and operate a career coaching business
called The Revolutionary Club. It was my first business, and it
still exists today. That’s where I fell in love with group
coaching.


 


So, there I was on my couch. I knew that private coaching wasn’t
going to be for me long-term, and I also knew I wanted to build
toward group coaching, but I was also incredibly unsure. My
coaching business was still so new –only a few months old! Who I
was to be launching a group program with very little
experience?!@!


 


So how did I get off the couch and get started without making
myself feel like a fraud?
