Amateur vs Pro Wellness Coach: What Pros Do Differently? ft. Jody Moore
How to build a successful health coaching business: see what a pro coach does differently from an amateur coach. My guest is Jody Moore, a master certified coach who has run her own coaching practice for 12 years. We walk through five differences any wellness coach can use: B-minus work, your own definition of success, a simple business, marketing that serves, and selling people on themselves. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER - Amateur coach vs pro coach is a continuum: how you can be pro in one area (your health) and still an amateur at business - Why pros put out B-minus work: you are not doing this to impress people, not everything deserves your best effort, and "good enough" gets you the feedback that perfect delays - How amateurs measure success (traction, likes, even clients) and how a pro defines it: following through on what you said you would do - Why your brain makes your business complicated to keep you safe, and how insisting on simple takes away the excuse not to move forward - Why coaching is only half the job: marketing as serving people before they pay, one ongoing experiment instead of "it's not working", and selling as helping people believe they can do it TIMESTAMPS 00:00 What Separates an Amateur Coach From a Pro 00:37 Meet Jody Moore 02:27 Amateur Coach vs Pro Coach: The Difference 04:10 Why Pro Coaches Put Out B-Minus Work 09:11 Does Experience Alone Make a Coach a Pro? 10:37 Why Coaches Overcomplicate Their Business 16:30 The Biggest Blocks: Marketing and Sales 23:51 Pro Coach Camp With Jody Moore ⭐MEMORABLE QUOTES "You're just helping them make a decision that they already want to make." - Valerie Feghali "I'm going to sell people on themselves all day long." - Jody Moore, on the Fuel The Flow Podcast TURN PRO: 4 LIVE DAYS WITH JODY MOORE Pro Coach Camp runs October 19-22 on Zoom, 2 hours a day.
