Episode 4: Designing Your Coaching Business Before the Doors Open
In Episodes 2 and 3, Laura challenged common assumptions about coaching and qualifications. In this episode, she shifts into strategy.
This is a practical, workbook‑style session drawn from the Inside Track training programme inside Confident Coach Business Academy™.
You’ll be guided through foundational business design exercises to help you:
1️⃣ Identify which of the 3 hats you’re wearing most – Marketeer, Business Owner or Coach
2️⃣ Build your business on the Triangle of Success: Joy, Profit and Competence
3️⃣ Decide whether you are building a Lighthouse business or a Climbing Guide business
4️⃣ Define your ideal customer with clarity and depth
5️⃣ Use the Warehouse & Shop exercise to design offers that solve real problems
This episode is about taking action.
If you’ve been collecting ideas but not designing intentionally, this is your moment to pause, reflect and build properly.
