Being a great coach is not enough to build a great coaching business.

Sorry. But someone needed to say it.

Christie Mims, founder of Coach Pony, doesn`t sugarcoat it on How to Get Ahead — and every coach needs to hear this.

"Coaching skills and Business skills - get both and you are so much more likely to succeed"

You trained hard to become a skilled coach. But coaching skills and business skills are two completely different things — and most coaching programmes only teach you one of them.

Marketing. Pricing. Client attraction. Positioning. These aren`t extras. They`re the whole game.

The good news? They`re all learnable. And starting now is better than waiting until an empty client list forces you to.

Something I’ve noticed about how millennials want to be coached:

They don’t want advice handed down from a pedestal.
They want someone in their corner — asking the right questions, helping them find their own clarity.

They’ve grown up being sold to constantly. They can smell inauthenticity from miles away.

What actually lands with millennial clients:
→ Coaches who are honest about their own struggles
→ Coaches who treat them as the expert on their own life
→ Coaches who don’t have a “one size fits all” framework

If you’re a coach who works with millennials and you lead with authenticity over authority — you’re already ahead.

That’s exactly the kind of coach MLC is built for.

What’s one thing your millennial clients respond to that surprised you? I genuinely want to know 👇
