The #1 Shift Coaches Must Make to Build a Sustainable, Six-Figure Practice

September 17, 20252 min read

Many business coaches launch with the best of intentions.

They’ve got the heart.
They’ve got the passion.
They know they’re called to help business owners succeed.

But far too often, that passion turns into overwhelm.

Why?

Because they quickly realize that it takes more than heart to build a six-figure business coaching practice. You need tools. You need systems. You need platforms.

You need the right infrastructure.


Most Coaches Get This Backwards

Here’s a common trap in the coaching world:

Coaches spend 80% of their time fiddling with tech, tools, and content creation—and only 20% of their time actually building the relationships that grow their business.

That equation is upside down.
And it’s one of the biggest reasons why talented, purpose-driven coaches burn out before they break through.

To build a stable and profitable practice, you must flip that script:

Spend 80% of your time building relationships, solving problems, and showing up for business owners.
Spend 20% (or less) on backend systems, tech, and tools.

But that shift is only possible if you have the right systems in place.


You Can’t Scale What You’re Constantly Rebuilding

Think about it...

When you're constantly trying to create websites, design slide decks, build CRM workflows, or piece together software—it pulls your time, energy, and focus away from what really matters: serving people and building long-term client relationships.

The truth is, your ability to grow and sustain a six-figure coaching practice hinges on your ability to tell a clear, consistent, and compelling story—about profitability, about leadership, about culture.

That story doesn’t just get told in words—it gets told in what you deliver:

  • The client experience

  • The tools you use to diagnose problems

  • The systems that guide your coaching

  • The resources that build confidence and trust


Sustainability Comes from Simplicity

If you want long-term income and impact, you can’t afford to be constantly reinventing the wheel.

You need tools that work.
You need systems that scale.
You need platforms that position you as the authority.

Because when those pieces are in place, you gain time. You gain clarity. And most importantly—you gain margin to do the work you were called to do.

Helping real business owners solve real problems.


Bottom line:
If you want a profitable and sustainable business coaching practice, don’t just build with heart.
Build with infrastructure.
