Today I sit down with one of my coaching clients from The Blueprint, Leigh, an online personal trainer already making around $19,000 a month. We go through exactly what's stopping him from growing past that number. The two things holding him back: his niche and his content don't actually match each other, and he's never had a real strategy behind running ads. We dig into why content is the thing that has to underpin his whole system before ads or anything else will actually work. #onlinefitnesscoaching #onlinecoachingbusiness #fitnessmarketing Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

Five lies coaches tell themselves about content, and every one of them is the reason they're not posting right now. I break down the "I need to sound like the big coach I follow" lie, the "once a week is enough" lie, the "I can just talk and people will love it" lie, the "I need to be controversial to get attention" lie, and the "people will judge me" lie, the one that actually costs the most and nobody says out loud. #contentcreation #contentcreationtips #coachingbusinesstips Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

This is the ad account, the dashboard, the funnels, the CRM pipeline, the automations, the sales process, the team and the client journey. Real screens, not slides. Everything here is what I teach the coaches inside the mentorship, so take what you want and go build it. Fair warning: this is aimed at coaches already doing $10k a month or more who want to scale. If you are under $5k a month a lot of it will be over your head.

If you're starting a coaching business in 2026, don't waste your first month on a logo and a business name, that's not step one, and I watch new coaches do it constantly. Here's how to actually pick your niche properly, how to build a real offer instead of a vague promise, why copying other coaches' content will quietly sink you, and the order to message people in once you're posting. I break down picking your niche in three layers instead of one, building an actual offer around six components instead of a vague promise, why content that copies another coach falls flat and being yourself outperforms it, and the warmest to coldest order to message people in once you're actually posting. Content is what makes the DMs work at all, so we start there first. #howtostartacoachingbusiness #onlinecoachingbusiness #coachingbusiness #startingacoachingbusiness Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

Chris Bumstead has built one of the biggest personal brands in fitness, and it's got nothing to do with lifting more than everyone else. It comes down to how he actually carries himself and how he plays the long game as a business owner. I've caught up with him over the years, including a sit down in Miami a few years back, and the lesson that stuck with me wasn't about training, it was about how he operates as a person and builds trust before he ever asks for anything. In this video I walk through that lesson and the honest link I made between it and how I run my own business. #personalbrand #chrisbumstead #cbum Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

Ninety percent of coaches never cross ten thousand dollars a month, and it's got nothing to do with how good they are at coaching. I break down why it's actually a marketing and sales skill problem, why imposter syndrome never actually goes away and isn't fixed by another certification, why growth is a curve most people quit right before it bends up on, and the LTV to CAC number almost no coach running an online coaching business has ever worked out for themselves. #onlinecoaching #coachingbusiness #businesscoaching Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

This is Jordan's coaching client success story: what was actually going on in his head every time he got on a call, and the five specific things that changed how he sold. I walk through the congruence principle, the idea that you'll always get the objections you yourself are willing to give, and the five shifts that actually changed how Jordan sold: high intention with low attachment, weighing fear of change against the cost of inaction, checking his own beliefs before every call, preventing objections instead of just rebutting them, and leaning on loss aversion over gain. He didn't quit, and the fix wasn't a new script, it was sorting out what he actually believed first. #successstory #successstories #businesscoaching #coaching Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

Everything in this video is stuff I've actually got running in my own coaching business right now, so let's skip the buzzwords and get straight into five real AI tips. I walk through turning every sales call and check-in recording into a memory bank on that client, turning one video into a week of content instead of one post, letting AI draft your sales follow-up the second a call ends, letting AI qualify and book your DMs while you're asleep while you still close, and using real data instead of guessing to pick your next video idea. #aitools #aiforcoaches #digitalmarketingforcoaches Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360

In this video I break down what burnout actually looks like from the inside, why it's rarely about working too many hours and almost always about carrying the wrong bottleneck yourself, and the exact order I hired people in to fix it: video editor first, then a VA, then a DM setter, then a sub-coach, then a closer last.

I'll walk you through the real framework behind my online fitness coaching business (over $300K/month): why your niche is the foundation everything else is built on, how to write call-to-actions that actually convert instead of sounding weak or unbelievable, and how to build "micro lead magnets" that nurture your audience into booked calls.

I close out with a daily lead-gen checklist you can start using today — and set up what's coming in the next episode, where I go all-in on the DM strategy that turns cold followers into paying clients. 🔗 Free CTA Playbook: https://thesocialblueprint.com/train/playbook Connect with Zac Perna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zacperna/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zacpernafitness/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zacperna Website: https://www.zacperna.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacPernaShow/videos Podlink: https://pod.link/1798655360 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5aK7QA0FenAndOQV0TfQwY Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-zac-perna-podcast/id1798655360
