My 9 Step “Client Getting Roadmap” Is The Easiest And Quickest Path To Landing High Paying Clients And Growing Your Business.
“Anyone who follows it can build their coaching practice…even if you have no business or marketing experience – Guaranteed!”
-Michael Breen Executive Coach To Celebrities, CEOs and Champion Athletes.
The number one question new and established coaches regularly ask me is…
How do I grow my business?
I’m guessing that if you’re reading this letter, you’ve probably asked that exact same question yourself.
You’re passionate about helping people, you have the skill set, you may have a few clients already…and your ready to scale up your business…
But HOW?
That’s the question I’m going to answer for you here.
And, by the way, I’m very serious about my guarantee. You don’t need any business skills or marketing knowledge. In fact all I really need you to know are these three things;

You want to build a successful coaching practice.
You want to attract high paying clients as fast as possible.
And you want a proven system that will bring you clients for life.
So, how can I be so confident that I can deliver this?
It’s because I used the EXACT SAME 9 step process to achieve my own success…and so have other coaches that I’ve mentored over the years.
This is the complete step-by-step, foolproof guide to building your coaching business and attracting high paying clients.
Here’s Why I’m So Confident My Business Building Roadmap Will Work For You.
Over the course of my career I have built 3 separate 7-figure businesses in the Coaching, Training and Consulting fields. My most recent venture hit 7 figures in 2 years!
And I did all of it with ZERO advertising or ‘marketing”.
Not only that I have coached and consulted some of the biggest and best companies in the UK from advertising agencies to insurance companies to banks. I also helped small to medium size companies double their revenue on a regular basis.
I am now part of an Elite group of coaches in the UK – there are only 30 of us – who are trusted to work exclusively with C-level individuals.
And I have helped my mentees grow their businesses with these exact same principles.
Now I’m not saying this to blow my own horn or to impress you.
I’m telling you this because the reason I’m able to build 7 figure businesses, help other grow rapidly, and show new coaches how to grow a business from scratch is that I have a roadmap.
A foolproof, step-by-step roadmap that when followed gives you more clients, more cash and more scale.
To be more specific there are 9 steps to this road map…
9 Key Areas You Must Get Right (If You Want A Successful Business)
Building a successful, profitable business requires you get nine key start-up activities right
These are:
1. Lock In The Right Entrepreneurial Attitudes For Success
2. Discover A Market Segment You Can Win With
3. Create A Winning Service Offering
4. Employ Powerful Sales & Marketing Processes That Really Work
5. Hire The Right People & Recruit The Right Partners
6. Cultivate The Right Focus & Commitment
7. Target & Do The Right Actions For Starting-up A Successful CTC Business
8. Leveraging The Power of Metrics To Ignite Growth
9. Employ The Right Industry Insights That Only The Pros Know
Do one or two and you’ll move forward in spurts but fail to build a successful business. Get all nine right and you’ll create a business that can go far and attract a great base of happy customers.
Unfortunately most new entrepreneurs fail to get more than one of these nine key areas right!
In Start-UP CTC, I’ll will teach you leading edge start-up strategies and business building secrets to dramatically increase your chances of creating a successful, profitable, cash-generating coaching business – faster than ever before.
How This Course Came About
Over the past 30+ years I’ve noticed that many highly talented professionals want to leave their day jobs and build their own successful business; yet most never start! They stay stuck in jobs they hate and frequently those who do start struggle and fail…
… when they try to do it without guidance.
They typically fail for one of 9 reasons.
And those who succeeded, not just for a year but over the long term and enjoy the lifestyle and benefits that having your own successful business brings, did so because they got these 9 areas right (and in the right order).
The unfortunate reality is… most people (through no fault of their own) have never been taught how to build a successful business.
I’ve been fortunate to build 3 seven figure businesses in different industries and work with hundreds of leaders in many others, helping them unlock their potential and grow their companies.
When I started working with Tom O’Connor at NLP TIMES, helping coaches, trainers, consultants and small business owners in our Elite Group Coaching program, we both quickly realised the number 1 issue many participants were facing was how to start and build (or grow) a successful business (one that rewards you with lots of new clients and the lifestyle you want). Over and over again I heard from coaches asking for the ‘secrets’ to getting started and getting more clients.
I would tell them there is not one thing but NINE STEPS to building the business of their dreams.
I told them it’s not tactics you need (they come and go), you need a blueprint – something that shows you how it all connects and how to build it… on step at a time, using the very best of what I have learned.
That’s what lead to a the creation of …
START-UP CTC…
The Ultimate Start-Up Blueprint
For Building A Successful Coaching, Training Or Consultancy Business
OK that’s enough from me, I hand you over to Tom O’Connor who can tell you more about the exciting details of this course.
Starting a new business is an exciting adventure.
You see yourself doing the kind of work you’ve always wanted to do.
Being wildly successful.
If only you can get past niggling doubts and hesitations, the huge gaps in knowledge and ‘know how’ that almost all new entrepreneurs are missing.
That’s where Start-Up CTC comes in.
It’s the product of thousands of hours of real world business building experience, designed to help you get your idea off the ground.
Inside Start-Up CTC (Coach, Training or Consultancy), Michael Breen teaches you the “building blocks” for creating the kind of success you’ve only dreamed of.

One that gives you the freedom, money and impact you desire.
And you can enjoy all of this for a fraction of the price it would cost you in trial and error testing.
Michael’s taken the very best of nearly 3 decades of business building experience, starting and running multiple, hugely successful coaching, training and consultancies companies and combined it with the latest strategies and proven tactics to help you start and grow your own business.
Completely from the ground up. With no prior business building experience required.

Has already left their ‘day job’ and wants to discover how to get more clients, develop an offering people want to buy and fast-track their young business using proven strategies and systems that attract more clients.
Has already started building their service business e.g. doing coaching, training or consulting etc, had some early successes and would like expert step-by-step training on how to grow or rebuild your business with the help of a veteran business building mentor. Basically you’ve started but you are not yet satisfied that you are getting the results you want but keen to take things to the next level.
If any of these describe you and you’re willing to put in the work then Start-Up CTC is right for you…
With that said, let’s talk about who this program is notfor…
People who want success without effort (or looking for get rich scheme or instant ‘magic bullet’). Building a successful business, one that give you the financial, time and personal freedom you desire is not an overnight affair. It’s a transformation process. It takes work and effort. Success comes when you are doing many things right at once.
People who have mature businesses or are beyond the ‘start-up’ phase (typically beyond the $200,000 per year)
If either is true for you please do not apply.
