Six Figure Certified

Most new coaches overcomplicate the path to six figures. They spend months creating ebooks, testing digital courses, or launching memberships that barely cover their software costs.

In reality, a six-figure coaching business comes down to six core income streams – ones that are simple, scalable, and actually work.

In this episode, Liv Chapman breaks down the proven ways coaches are building real income – and what’s worth your time if...

Most coaches don’t realize that they don’t need to have all the right answers to be great at what they do. Great coaches don’t know everything. But they do know how to ask the right questions.

Sounds simple, right?

But not all questions actually help. We all know that yes/no questions usually fall flat. But there are also the ones that keep clients stuck in self-doubt, send them in the wrong direction, or get them rambling about surf...

New coaches often avoid choosing a niche for one big reason – they think it will limit them. In their eyes, focusing on one area means shutting out potential clients.

They want to help as many people as possible and fear that picking a specific focus is like putting a cap on what’s possible.

But trying to serve everyone often leads to serving no one. In reality, the most successful coaches aren’t the ones trying to be everything to e...

You’re doing all the “right” things – posting on social media, networking, offering free sessions – but clients aren’t showing up. So you start wondering if people even want what you have to offer. Sound familiar?

If your marketing strategy seems fine to you, that’s probably because there’s nothing wrong with it. You’re probably just looking in the wrong direction. The biggest obstacle keeping you from getting hired is actually happ...

“Is what you teach like Tony Robbins?” 

“Can I become the next Tony Robbins?” 

“This isn’t going to be like that Tony Robbins stuff, is it?”

These are the kinds of questions Liv Chapman hears all the time. 

Love him or hate him, Tony Robbins is often the first name people associate with coaching. But does his coaching actually follow professional standards?

In this episode, Liv breaks down one of Robbins’ coaching sessions, analyzing wh...

Many new life coaches think that getting certified is the hard part. They believe that once they have the credentials, clients will naturally start showing up. But that’s not how it works.

Getting certified is just the beginning. Too many new coaches struggle – not because they lack talent, but because they make a few critical mistakes that quietly sabotage their businesses and themselves without even realizing it...

Perfect offer, social media, first few clients — yes, these matter when starting your coaching business. But without a solid legal protection, you’re leaving your business — and your income — wide open to risk.

Skipping this step isn’t just a rookie mistake. It’s a financial and professional disaster waiting to happen. 

A client ghosts after multiple sessions? No clear payment policy? Someone demands a refund months later? No contrac...

Most new coaches worry about one thing, "Why would anyone take me seriously?"

They usually believe you need years of experience, big-name clients, or fancy certifications to be credible. But credibility isn’t about time – it’s much more about strategy.

In this episode, Liv breaks down five simple but powerful steps to help you establish yourself as a respected coach right now – even if you’re just starting. She'll explain...

When you want to become a coach — not just any coach, but a confident and successful one — there’s one question you’ll face for sure: How to pick the right certification program?

Right now you might think you don’t need certification. But sooner or later, you’ll realize that accreditation matters. In fact, 87% of clients prefer certified coaches.

Choosing the right program can feel overwhelming, especi...

Many people want to build a coaching career but feel they can't because they don’t have enough time. They all quote pretty similar everyday things as their “whys”: the 9–5 job, kids, family responsibilities, you name it...

But Liv can tell you for sure – those are just excuses because she knows you have enough time. In fact, she knows you think you need way more time than you actually do.

How can she be so sure?

Because Liv Chapm...

Anyone can call themselves a coach today – they can just slap “Coach” on their bio, and that's all.

But becoming a credentialed coach takes a significantly bigger effort. If you want to be recognized as a true professional instead of being seen as a hobbyist, the best way is to earn an International Coach Federation (ICF) credential.

And that’s where the problem lies – many people who want to become credentialed coaches don’t kno...

Ever wondered why some coaching sessions feel effortless and others leave you second-guessing everything? Or even better – how to make sure that your coaching call is never a waste of your client’s time (or yours)?

The secret is having a framework that keeps your sessions intentional, impactful, and perfectly tailored to your client’s needs.

In this episode, I’m sharing my tried-and-true 6-step approac...

Building a successful coaching business takes more than passion and talent – you need a solid plan. Without it, it’s easy to get stuck spinning your wheels, chasing ideas without real progress.

A strong business plan is more than a one-time task; it’s your go-to guide. It keeps you focused, helps you stay on track, and reminds you of your big goals when things get tough. It’s the tool that brings clarity and confi...

The path to six figures is simpler than you might think. Many coaches get caught up in juggling group programs, digital courses, or flashy projects that leave them overwhelmed and spread too thin.

But Liv Chapman knows there’s a better way – it’s not about doing everything; it’s about doing the essentials exceptionally well.

In this episode, Liv shares her practical, no-fluff approach to creating a coa...

Many new coaches think the secret to building a coaching business is all about having the perfect online presence – a beautiful website, polished social media posts, and a catchy tagline. They spend weeks fine-tuning every detail, believing that once they get those things right, clients will start rolling in.

Liv Chapman has seen this struggle time and time again. Drawing on her years of experience, she can say for sure that their c...

Most life coaches pour their energy and money into designing the perfect logo or building a website. They believe these tools will draw clients in like magic. 

But after months of effort, the results often don’t match the investment. The clients aren’t coming, and their brand feels like it’s fading into the noise.

What’s going wrong?

In this episode, Liv Chapman talks with branding expert K...
