E238 | Brianna Battles: Cut the B.S. and Put Yourself Out There

“I just felt like I had more to offer”

If you’ve ever had that thought about yourself as a professional, you’re not alone.  We’ve all been in that situation - we create something that we care deeply about and we know it would add value to people’s lives - but we aren’t in an environment where it’s supported, we hit some roadblocks that prevent us from following through, and we end up feeling ineffective and unfulfilled.

Second-time guest and previous Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach, Brianna Battles, is now the CEO & Founder of Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism. She coaches pregnant and postpartum athletes and has created a signature certification program for coaching professionals and practitioners.

Instead of making excuses and despite her doubt, Brianna adapted to the situation and put her work out into the world anyway - and people bought it.

In today’s episode, Brianna shares the secrets she’s uncovered throughout her journey of transitioning from Collegiate Strength and Conditioning to entrepreneurship, including:

• What to do when you feel like it’s just not working, you have more to offer, and you see an underserved population that you want to help (22:00)
• How to recognize the line between a hobby and a full-time business opportunity (24:00)
• The number one most important thing you have to have for a high-quality product (27:40)
• How to know when it’s time to hire help (45:00)

The value that Brianna has to offer goes well beyond this podcast. In fact, if you hadn’t heard yet, she and I are teaming up for our Art of Coaching Brand Builder event in Phoenix, AZ November 5-6th, 2022. At this interactive event, you will have access to Brianna, myself, and other members of the Art of Coaching team. We will give you the time, attention, and resources you need to vet your ideas and feel confident in the next steps you need to take to be successful.  You won’t get this kind of experience anywhere else.

In order to meet you where you’re at, we offer monthly payment plans, in addition to our Early Bird Discount, which is only available through the end of today!  Save $150 by signing up here right now!
