The Business of Menopause Coaching

In this episode, I sit down with JT Foxx — the world's #1 wealth and business coach — for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a coaching business from the ground up. JT has never taken menopause coach training himself, but as someone who has shared stages with me at the Sydney Opera House and events around the world, he's seen firsthand how big an issue menopause has become in workplaces globally.We dig into the real fundamentals of building a personal brand, why "brutal honesty" beats chasing approval every time, and why so many new coaches get stuck trying to convince clients of what they think the problem is instead of listening to what the client actually wants solved. JT also breaks down his "three-three rule" for pricing and building a client base from scratch, and shares his take on where AI fits into starting a business today.Whether you're a newly certified Menopause Coach or Champion stepping into business for the first time, or an established entrepreneur looking to sharpen your branding, this conversation is packed with straight-talking, practical advice.In this episode we cover:00:00 Introduction00:37 JT's relationship to menopause coaching — and why he's never taken the training01:31 Branding as the first step to being taken seriously in business03:31 Why "all press is good press" isn't always true03:49 Doing the work yourself before trying to teach it04:12 Giving clients what they want vs. what you think the problem is05:42 "Brutal honesty" and why people want the truth — as long as they agree with it05:47 Documenting the journey and using YouTube to build trust06:00 Where AI fits in for new entrepreneurs06:17 The "three-three rule" for pricing your services07:00 Why track record and proof matter more than confidence aloneMeet JT FoxxJT Foxx is a global entrepreneur, investor, and business coach who has built and partnered with businesses across more than 50 countries, and worked alongside billionaires, world leaders, and public figures.
