Consume Less, Learn Less, Implement More: The #1 Mistake Keeping Coaches Stuck (and How to Fix It)

Are You Stuck in Learning Mode? You’re Not Alone.

If you’re a new or aspiring coach, chances are you’ve been busy learning. You’re listening to podcasts, watching webinars, taking courses, and reading all the books.

And while it feels productive—it’s actually keeping you stuck. 😬

This episode of the podcast unpacks one of the biggest mistakes I see new coaches make: consuming more instead of implementing. It’s what I call productive procrastination—it feels like forward motion, but it’s really just another form of hiding.

Why Learning Feels So Good (But Doesn’t Build a Business)

Learning gives you a dopamine hit. It feels safe. It’s a way of preparing… but if you’re not coaching, not making offers, not having real conversations—you’re not building a business.

You’re organizing your Google Drive instead of getting paid.

The truth? Progress doesn’t come from input. It comes from output.

How to Tell If You’re Trapped in This Cycle

Ask yourself:

• How much time have I spent learning vs. implementing this month?
• When was the last time I made an offer?
• Am I hiding behind “more prep” because I’m afraid of rejection or failure?

You’re not alone if this hits hard—and this isn’t about shame. It’s about clarity and course correction.

The Path Out: Take Imperfect, Visible Action

Confidence doesn’t come from another certification or course. It comes from coaching. From hearing “that helped.” From showing up and realizing you’re already enough.

Pick one concept you’ve learned and implement it today.

• Offer a free session.
• Start a real conversation.
• Share how you can help.

Start small. Stay consistent. Be visible.
