The Harsh Truth That Many Coaches And Consultants Don’t Want To See.
And that could cost their future.
I’m not here to make friends. It’s not the idea. I want them react. It’s for their own good.
Yesterday, when I asked a coach if she needed help to grow her practice, she replied no, because she had been working in coaching for twenty years.
A response that left me perplexed.
Having twenty years of experience is not a guarantee of longevity.
Especially if you’re still working on Excel sheets.
Like this other consultant who hasn’t changed his operating mode for… Also 20 years… and without an online presence.
“You understand, Pat, chasing prospects, visiting them on-site, taking care of them, handling administrative tasks, and communicating on social media, it’s a lot of work.”
No kidding.
Trying to do everything is a sure path to burnout.
No one can do it all.
Including you.
Unless you’re a Swiss Army knife.
Frankly, I don’t give them two years before they disappear.
Just like all those among you who haven’t adapted to new technologies.
Yet, it takes very little to change your situation.
And your life.
How? With simple tools that simplify your management, sales, communication operations, and more. Tools that were unimaginable not long ago.
Overwhelmed by paperwork? Your admin can be as simple as a spreadsheet (Airtable).
Tired of chasing leads? Gohighlevel and Airtable are there for that too.
Not to mention your sales funnel, which can be completely automated with the same tools.
As well as creating and scheduling your LinkedIn or X posts (Hypefury).
And I won’t even mention following up with your prospects.
Phenomenally powerful tools.
And that’s putting it mildly.
So no, having twenty years’ experience doesn't mean a thing if you’re not up to date.
It’s not enough.
AI and automation have changed the operational function in a way you can’t imagine. Everyone is affected, including you.
You no longer need to have a plethora of employees to manage it all.
Some young people have understood this very well.
Young entrepreneurs who have no qualms about doing what you do, only better and infinitely faster.
Precisely because of these tools.
I don’t give them two years to eat you alive.
Now you know.
You only have one life. Don’t waste it working yourself to exhaustion.
It’s not worth it.
And it’s stupid.

I help coaches earn more while working less and focusing more on their clients.
Why coaches?
Ten years ago, a coach helped me give my life meaning. Since then, I’ve been helping this wonderful profession to adapt to this revolution. It’s my way of returning the favor.
