## Resource

If you've spent any time in the coaching world, you've probably heard that group coaching is the fastest way to scale your business. It sounds like the obvious next step, but is it actually the right one when you're just getting started? The truth is, what works for an established coach isn't always what works for a beginner. And following the wrong business model too early could make it harder, not easier, to build a successful practice. On today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 446, I'll explain why group coaching doesn't work for beginner coaches, when it actually becomes the right strategy, and the business-building sequence that gives you the greatest chance for long-term success. - - - Listen or Watch At: IHP.Coach/446 - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org
