"I originally planned to grow my monthly income to £18,000 in my first year, so to more than double that within two months felt great"
Although it was virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, any initial apprehensions dissipated from the moment he logged in on the Monday morning. “The training blew me away from the very beginning. I’ve got to say, I wasn’t prepared for the sheer amount of information and the extent of the resources available to me. I’d consider myself a tactile person, so I wasn’t sure whether I would receive the same experience as other coaches who had their training in-person, but all of my expectations were exceeded. “On my first day out of training, I was motivated
by an 8am call from the UK’s Performance Director, James Vincent, and he convinced me to apply a script I’d learned in training by contacting three prospective clients immediately. Within the space of 20 minutes, I’d arranged three meetings and, two hours later, I’d booked eight more. Receiving this burst of confidence on my first morning just boosted my belief, and I realised I was more than capable of doing this.”
Sprint start With a second-month income of over £36,000 Ian far exceeded his initial goals within eight weeks of launching, but he is not one to rest on his laurels – this success has only made him hungry for more. “It’s amazing to be smashing the targets so early on. I originally planned to grow my monthly income to £18,000 in my first year, so to more than double that within two months felt great. ActionCOACH has given me everything I imagined and more.

new clients. However, by far the best thing is the difference we get to make to local businesses and the lives of so many people ... the results of some of my clients are already mind-blowing!"
Going for gold “For every coach across the country, there is a strong sense of ‘co-opetition’. We actively celebrate one another’s successes, whilst it also gives us goals to work for in our own businesses. Every day, from situations such as this, I experience the true supportive and collaborative nature of the UK team. “I could never have imagined being part of such a supportive network like ActionCOACH. There's always an opportunity to learn with the constant updates from the UK support team, from daily seminars, to weekly workshops, and on-the-go guidance. For example, we’ve had guest speakers including world-renowned psychic Uri Geller, international best-seller Jeffrey Gitomer and popular key-note speaker Andrea Waltz.
