Here's something that might shock you: I've been completely off social media for over three weeks, and my business hasn't just survived - it's thriving. This wasn't planned, had no strategy, and no backup plan. Just a gut feeling that led to one of the most transformative experiments of my entrepreneurial journey. I realized I was spending more energy trying to attract NEW people on social media than engaging with the 4,500 amazing people already on my email list. In this vulnerable life update, I'm sharing what happens when you eliminate the noise and get laser-focused on what actually moves...

The Mindset Shift That Took Me From $5K to $20K Months
Best Damn Coach Podcast: Conversations for coaches, mentors, and service providers to grow a profitable coaching business
Here's what I've learned the hard way: You can have all the strategy in the world, but if your internal operating system isn't upgraded to match your income goals, you'll stay stuck at the same level forever. Most coaches beating their heads against the wall are using the same strategy without working on themselves. Your business can only grow as much as you're willing to grow. In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing the exact mindset shift that took me from inconsistent $5K months to consistent $20K+ months. This isn't about tactics or funnels - it's about the internal work that has to happen...

Getting Clear on Who You Serve: Live Coaching Episode
Best Damn Coach Podcast: Conversations for coaches, mentors, and service providers to grow a profitable coaching business
Here's what I see constantly with brilliant coaches and service providers: You know you're amazing at what you do, but if you're trying to help everyone, you're actually helping no one. When you lack ideal client clarity, you end up spinning your wheels and wondering why your expertise isn't translating into consistent income. Generic messaging attracts nobody. Specific messaging attracts exactly the right people and repels the wrong ones. In this live coaching episode, I'm working with Monina, a 20-year beauty industry veteran struggling with the exact challenge that keeps most coaches stuck....
info_outlineHere's what I realized after working with hundreds of coaches: Most of you are spending 80% of your time on activities that feel productive but generate zero revenue. Meanwhile, coaches making consistent $10K+ months are doing something completely different.
Busy doesn't equal profitable. Productive doesn't equal revenue generating.
This episode was born from a powerful question inside the Best Damn Coach community: "Amanda, what exactly ARE revenue generating activities?" That question changed our entire conversation and became the foundation for this training.
You'll discover:
- The 3 "productive" activities that keep coaches broke (content creation trap, education addiction, consumption paralysis)
- The definition of revenue generating activities that changes everything
- My daily 20-30 minute routine that consistently brings in new clients
- Why welcoming new followers, strategic follow-up, and direct engagement actually work
- Real client examples: the gym strategy, door-to-door approach, and LinkedIn authority method
Plus: Get my free coaching questions resource and learn about the September deep-dive inside the Best Damn Coach community focused entirely on revenue-generating activities.
Stop playing business and start building one. The power is always in the conversations and the follow-up.
