The ‘Fail Faster’ Strategy for Growing Your Coaching Business

Business can get pretty ‘serious’ sometimes.

It’s easy to get caught up with every detail and feel like it needs to be successful!

The problem with this is, you stop innovating and you end up leaving a whole lot of opportunity on the table.

One strategy that I encourage my ELITE students to do every quarter is “fail activities.”

These are activities that you ‘trial’ during the quarter with no emotional attachment to success.

What’s cool is that one of the activities usually lands and you get a burst of clients or revenue.

Here are 5 examples of ‘fail activities’ you could do this quarter…

  1. Pitch yourself to 5 big podcasts (with no attachment that you will get them)
  2. Re-package a small part of your flagship program and sell it for 10-20% of the main program cost
  3. Do a Facebook Live and invite people to download a cheatsheet
  4. Email your “engaged” email list with an invite to work with you one-on-one
  5. Host a 2-hour masterclass over Zoom for free and pitch your program at the end (with no expectations)

The important thing is to not be emotionally attached to the outcome.

Let go of the need for it to be successful and just give it a go.
