<p>Most coaches don&#39;t have a strategy problem. They have a persistence problem.</p><p>In this episode, BJ breaks down one of the biggest reasons coaches struggle to build a lasting practice: they stop knocking on the door too soon. Drawing from the widow and the judge in Luke 18 and the farming wisdom of Ecclesiastes 11:6 (&quot;plant your seed in the morning and keep working until evening, because you don&#39;t know which effort will succeed&quot;), BJ shows why consistency, not talent, is what actually grows a coaching business.</p><p>You&#39;ll learn:</p><ul><li>Why most coaches give up after 2-3 follow-ups, and why the real number is 8 to 12</li><li>How to follow up the right way after meeting a prospect (and why speed matters)</li><li>Why &quot;no response&quot; almost never means &quot;not interested&quot;</li><li>How to spread outreach across texts, email, calls, and LinkedIn without adding friction</li><li>Why relationship building, not selling, is what actually plants long-term client relationships</li><li>How to use a CRM to systemize your follow-up instead of relying on memory or motivation</li></ul><p>If you want a business coaching practice that lasts three to five years with a client (or longer), it starts with a decision to keep watering what you&#39;ve planted, even when it&#39;s quiet.</p>
