Welcome to The Agent Goldmine with Ali & Shelby! What happens when you spend $85K on coaching and realize it wasn't the answer you thought it would be? Ali breaks down her experience with two MAJOR coaching programs, what she got wrong, and what she would do differently today. If you're thinking about investing in a coach, this episode will help you ask better questions, avoid expensive mistakes, and make a smarter decision. Let’s get into:

  • why Ali invested $85K into two coaching programs

  • what she expected vs. what she actually received

  • why paying more does NOT create commitment

  • big-name coaching programs can become too diluted

  • specialized goals (like YouTube) require specialized support

  • how to exhaust FREE resources before spending thousands

  • one-off coaching sessions can beat long-term contracts

  • how to properly vet a coaching program before signing

  • why you should talk to their members, not just references

  • finding accountability without spending thousands

  • questions to answer before investing in coaching

Thinking about dropping serious money on coaching? Listen to this first before you sign anything. Find out how to choose support that actually matches your goals!
