What It’s About

When does paying thousands for a business coach actually beat cheaper fixes and free advice?

Notes from Chris

Episode 3220

How do I know if a coach like that is an investment or just an expensive pep talk? Is there a benchmark—sales plateau, free-time deficit, whatever—that says, ‘Yep, now coaching makes sense’?”
