How to Build a 200-Strong Coaching Community (Without Burning Out)
My blueprint for a coaching business that scales with ease and joy...
Let’s talk about the fastest, easiest, and most sustainable way to build a transformational coaching community online, one that doesn’t steal your life, your evenings, or your sanity.
I’m sharing what’s working for us right now in Sphere 3.0, where we’ve added five new members this week alone. I want you to see how simple this can be, so you can build something just as powerful.
The Blue Light Glasses Metaphor
Right now, I’m wearing my blue light glasses. Not because I need a prescription, but because they protect my eyes so I can work longer without strain.
👉 Building your coaching business should work the same way.
You could muscle through with endless one-on-one calls, overstuffed calendars, and late nights. But in the process, you’ll wear yourself out.
What if you built something sustainable that protects your energy and grows faster?
The Fastest Path: One Gathering a Week
Here’s the model that’s working for us:
✅ One powerful session each week — just one!
✅ No endless one-on-one coaching calls that fill up your calendar
✅ Focused, transformational, practical sessions
People worry: “Is once a week enough?”
Yes.
People go to church once a week for what they believe is the most important part of their life. They don’t meet one-on-one with the pastor all week long.
Community happens in groups. Transformation happens in groups. Retention is higher. Energy is higher. And it’s scalable
“Okay Geoff — that makes sense… but what does that one session look like? How do I actually structure it so people stay, take action, and refer others?”
👉 That’s what I break down in the next part of this post, including:
