#022: 10 Revenue Streams for Coaches

Words I Believe: You don’t have to run a group program to scale. There are other ways to create income and impact that align with how you work best.

Revenue Growth Without Group Coaching

Two weeks ago, I made a big decision:
I shut down my group coaching program.

Not because it wasn’t working, but because it wasn’t working for me.

I created that program to scale. But deep down, I’ve always cared more about impact than reach. More about depth than mass appeal. More about quality than quantity.

I realized I was helping my clients reach their goals, but I was starting to drift from mine.

So I took a step back.
Reconnected with the kind of coach I want to be.
And restructured everything to support that.

I’m back to 1:1 only—and thriving in it.

But here’s the truth:
When most coaches walk away from group programs, they think they’re walking away from growth.

You’re not. You’re making room for smarter, better-aligned revenue streams.

So today I want to share 10 ways to increase your revenue without needing a group offer.

Each one has been used by me or my clients, and each has its own pros and cons so you can choose what fits your goals.

Save this list. Bookmark it. And refer back when you’re ready to expand without burnout.

Let’s be clear:
You don’t need all of these. But imagine what could happen if you added just one this month?

More income.
More alignment.
Less burnout.
And more room to do the deep work you’re known for.

Here’s what I'm doing: 

These are some of the same revenue streams I’m focused on now. Not because I want to scale faster, but because I want to serve better. I'll be making announcements over the next few weeks on what's to come.

You don’t have to sacrifice your values to grow your income.
You just need to build offers that align with how you best serve.
