She Doubled Income By Cutting Programs
Emma Rodriguez was drowning in her own success.
Ten different coaching programs. Price points from hundreds to thousands. A life coaching practice that looked impressive on paper.
She was working herself to the bone and barely making money.
Sound familiar? Emma fell for the biggest lie in coaching: that more offerings mean more revenue. We see this everywhere. Coaches create program after program, thinking variety equals value.
The opposite is true.
The Generalist Trap
When we first started working with Emma, she was the textbook definition of a struggling generalist. Life coach for women seeking clarity and direction. Ten programs ranging from basic guidance to comprehensive transformations.
Her logic seemed sound. More options should mean more sales, right?
Wrong. Emma was missing family dinners. Skipping kids' events. Working endless hours to maintain and improve ten different offerings that nobody really wanted.
She had lost herself in the process. The passion that drove her to coaching had disappeared under an avalanche of mediocre programs that sounded good but delivered little.
Each program demanded time to create, refine, and market. Emma was keeping busy without serving people.
The Breakthrough Moment
Everything changed when Emma admitted the truth. She was trying so hard to be everything to everyone that she had forgotten why she started coaching.
We used our intersection model to help her find clarity. This systematic approach identifies the sweet spot where passion meets expertise meets market demand.
Emma's answer was clear: helping menopausal women.
She had been doing this work already, buried within her general practice. But when she made it her sole focus, everything clicked.
Suddenly she knew exactly what to talk about. Her social media content became laser-focused. Her marketing spoke directly to women experiencing menopause. Her programs addressed specific, urgent problems.
No more generic life coaching. No more scattered messaging. Emma became the go-to expert for menopausal women seeking support and guidance.
The 90-Day Transformation
The results came fast.
Within 70 days, Emma broke the $10,000 monthly barrier. By 90 days, she had doubled her income while cutting her workload in half.
More importantly, she reclaimed her life. Family dinners became non-negotiable. Kids' events went back on the calendar. Emma could be present because she wasn't constantly scrambling to manage ten different programs.
Her clients were happier too. Instead of generic life coaching, they received targeted expertise for their specific challenges. Emma developed programs that no one else could match because she focused entirely on this one area.
The specialization created a virtuous cycle. Better results led to happier clients. Happier clients led to referrals. Referrals led to premium pricing. Premium pricing led to working fewer hours for more money.
Why Focus Beats Variety
Emma's transformation reveals something crucial about modern markets. People aren't looking to buy something. They're looking to solve specific problems.
When you offer everything, you become invisible. When you solve one problem exceptionally well, you become essential.
The old model assumed that more options create more opportunities. Today's buyers want specialists, not generalists. They want someone who understands their exact situation and has proven solutions.
Emma discovered what specialized coaches know: focused expertise commands premium prices. Her menopausal clients paid more because she delivered better results.
The math is simple. Help fewer people better, make more money, work less.
Your Intersection Point
Emma's story isn't unique. We've guided over 2,000 coaches through similar transformations using the same systematic approach.
The intersection model works because it eliminates guesswork. Instead of trying everything, you identify what you're passionate about, what you're skilled at, and what people actually want to buy.
Most coaches skip this step. They assume they need to serve everyone to build a sustainable business. The opposite is true.
You don't have to give up serving people. You have to focus on serving specific people with specific needs.
This isn't magic. Every coach can make this transition. The question is whether you're willing to let go of the illusion that more equals better.
The Freedom Factor
Emma's transformation wasn't just about money. It was about reclaiming time and building a business that serves her life.
You shouldn't work yourself to death. You shouldn't miss family events to manage multiple mediocre programs. You shouldn't sacrifice your wellbeing for the false promise of variety.
When you narrow your focus, you broaden your impact. You help people better. You make more money. You work less.
Emma proved this in 90 days. She went from scattered generalist to focused specialist. From overworked and underpaid to profitable and present.
The choice is yours. Keep juggling multiple programs that drain your energy and deliver mediocre results. Or follow Emma's example and build a practice around what you do best.
Your future self will thank you. Your family will thank you. Your clients will thank you.
Most importantly, you'll remember why you became a coach in the first place.
