Half-baked coaching and financial advice are draining the time of 7-figure earners—time they can’t afford to waste.
Listen, if you’re out here working with high-profile, 7-figure earners, you need to bring it.
Not “kind of” bring it.
Not “I took an online course, and now I’m a guru” bring it. You need receipts.
Too many coaches, financial advisors, and consultants are promising the world but delivering a PowerPoint deck full of clichés and vibes.
And honestly? We are all sick to death of it.
The Overpromise, Underdeliver Fiasco
High earners (like any business owner, really) want real, direct, and clear solutions—not empty promises.
They don’t want to be lied to.
They’ve seen too many people trying to cash in on their payday, and they’re sensitive to it.
So, if you want their trust, offer them a clear solution with a proven framework.
And just to be clear—“proven framework” doesn’t mean it worked for one client and has zero data behind it.
It also doesn’t mean copying and pasting generic advice into a slideshow.
And it definitely doesn’t mean plugging numbers into some software and calling it “strategy.”
Do Better!
Professionals at this level need to:
✔ Understand the stakes. You’re not playing with theoretical dollars—this is real money, real businesses, real livelihoods.
✔ Have a track record. If you can’t back up your claims with actual success stories and measurable results, sit this one out.
✔ Know the difference between revenue and profit. Too many so-called experts celebrate high revenue while their clients are barely keeping their cash flow positive.
Our Personal Stories of Half-Baked Coaching
We once invested $12,000 in a PR offer that was supposed to be a game-changer.
We were promised Forbes features, next-level exposure, and—get this—the last marketing strategy we would ever need.
Sounds amazing, right?
Yeah, well, in reality, it was run by a coach who looked like she hated her own program.
The “strategy” was nothing more than a bunch of online courses with zero real-world execution.
No PR team.
No insider connections.
Just a glorified “watch these videos” membership portal and a bad attitude.
It was low quality and a complete time-suck.
Then there was the $10,000 we spent on a Marketing Coach.
We were expecting some advanced strategy—real data-driven insights, industry secrets, maybe even a fresh approach to conversions.
Instead, we got a few decent messaging ideas, but with zero follow-through.
And the biggest gem of advice?
👉 “Make your content more emotional.”
👉 “Use ChatGPT to get great copy.”
Excuse me? We just paid five figures for tips we could’ve found on Twitter in five minutes?
The CFO, Business Coach, and Consultant Reality Check
If you call yourself a business coach, you should actually know how to run a business.
If you’re a financial strategist, your own finances better be solid.
And if you’re an advisor? Your advice better be tailored, nuanced, and worth more than a quick Google search.
High-profile earners are tired of working with people who sell the dream but don’t have the expertise to build the foundation.
They’re over the hype.
They want real results.
If You Can’t Deliver, Don’t Play
If you’re not ready to meet the standard, don’t step up to the plate.
This isn’t a playground for wannabes. This is the big leagues. The people you’re serving don’t have time to waste on surface-level solutions.
So, if you’re in this space—coaching, consulting, financial advising—ask yourself:
👉 Am I truly bringing value, or am I just bringing the right buzzwords?
Because if it’s the latter? Step aside.
This is exactly why we created Seven Figure Profits®.
We were tired of seeing high earners like us and our clients get the runaround, paying top dollar for advice that didn’t actually solve their problems.
So we built a real, holistic solution—one that blends what we call profit psychology with financial strategy to help 7-figure earners not just make money, but keep it, grow it, and actually enjoy it.
Because real success isn’t about how much you make. It’s about how much you keep, how much you enjoy, and how well you sustain it.
And that? That’s what we do.
