How can coaches & consultants use martial arts to get more time, money & freedom??! My sales career started on the hamster wheel when I was a coach, selling low value, high volume services and having lots of customers to work with. Even though I loved the challenge there were quickly too many balls to juggle & it led to me burning out. I’m sure something many of you are experiencing with your workload. The surprising factor that got me off this hamster wheel was my love for martial arts, it reminded me that the way I was living was reactive to my environment, chasing my tail and not being in control of my thoughts & actions. Whenever I was in the Dojang ‘the training mat’ I had intention, focus, alignment, balance & flow – what I now call the Black Belt Mindset. I felt alive & connected as I was teaching our next generation of children the values of confidence, leadership & fearlessness through martial arts – this is my passion & purpose, but I wasn’t sure how to step more into that role. Most coaches want to earn on average £5,000 per month, which means they would need to be selling constantly at least 4 out of 7 days per week. This is because a business coach earns on average only around £170 per hour. Hence the lifestyle that most coaches lead is hard work leading to burnout! This means they end up undercharging for their service because of a lack of confidence, self worth or simply a lack of knowledge on pricing. Through my own martial arts career, I could clearly see the correlation with selling. I’ve crafted, tested, refined and proven a formula, which incorporates the principles of the black belt mindset and ALL the skills required for successful high end, high value selling. This knowledge gave birth to the 'Selling to Serve Pathway' with which, my goal is to support more coaches & consultants - to earn more, work less & discover and live their purpose.
