In this episode of Beyond the Sets & Reps, host Brandi Clark drills into what fitness‑industry entrepreneurs should examine before hiring their first, or next business coach. Speaking from experience with both stellar and sub‑par mentors, she lays out a practical checklist: trust your intuition, make sure the coach’s claims feel believable, confirm you connect with their personality, ensure their teaching style matches the way you learn, verify they have genuine client results, and observe whether their own marketing model aligns with how you want to run your business. Brandy also explains why transparency and the willingness to share past missteps are non‑negotiable traits in a mentor. This candid discussion gives coaches a clear roadmap for choosing guidance that fits their goals, vibe, and budget, while avoiding costly mistakes.

Listeners will hear practical strategies for effective networking, powerful advice on giving back, and the importance of telling a personal story that resonates. Christine underscores the role consistency plays in creating “overnight” success and reveals why stepping out of one’s comfort zone—even just 1% at a time—can unlock opportunities we never imagined. This inspiring conversation offers a blueprint for anyone striving to turn adversity into a meaningful career, build authentic relationships, and leave a lasting impact on the world.

Join Brandi Clark aka The Messy Hair Millionaire as she identifies the first common barrier to financial success: the failure to implement daily money-making activities consistently. She emphasizes that daily content creation is not merely about posting for the sake of posting, but about developing content that genuinely resonates with your ideal clients. It’s about understanding their struggles and crafting messages they find relatable and engaging.The next point of discussion highlights the importance of tracking growth, particularly the increase in follower and friend counts across social media platforms. Brandi stresses that even a single new follower each day is a sign of progress. She then addresses the need for interaction, pointing out that responding to comments on posts and engaging meaningfully with followers is a pivotal part of nurturing relationships that can lead to business growth.Conversational engagement in direct messages (DMs) rounds out the four daily MMAs Brandi describes. She provides compelling anecdotes about how simple DM exchanges can result in client enrollments, reinforcing the importance of genuine conversations in the digital realm.Transitioning to what she identifies as the second significant roadblock, Brandi discusses the necessity for a high-ticket signature offer. She explains why lower-priced products and memberships can complicate business processes and drown new entrepreneurs in the hustle of continual client replacement rather than the sustainable retention that a signature offer can provide. By proposing a $1,000 signature offer structured around a three-month duration, she empowers listeners to think strategically about pricing and the value they provide.Brandi proceeds to introduce her "promotional stack," a concept that offers a robust framework for launching services consistently. This promotional stack incorporates pre-launch engagement—such as generating interest through effective content marketing, hosting webinars, and driving lead acquisition—while also outlining the importance of following through with effective sales strategies. She dispels misconceptions around launching, asserting that it remains a powerful method for attracting clients when executed with intention and consistency.Finally, Brandi delivers a firmer message about the overarching theme of consistency. In a landscape where many struggle with visibility and audience engagement, the key to overcoming setbacks lies in the commitment to execute daily activities and adhere to a structured promotional approach over time. She wraps up the episode with a heartfelt encouragement to her listeners, inviting them to embrace the journey with actionable steps that will lead to sustained growth and success.
