10 Tips to Become a Happy, Healthy, and More Successful Coach

Author: Mike Robertson November 21, 2025 Duration: 59:39

I’m not joking when I say this podcast could easily be the most important thing you listen to this year.

Seriously – the advice I’m going to give you in this episode could easily be worth tens of thousands, if not HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars.

Unlike a lot of the influencer fitness pros and online “mentors,” I’m still working with and connecting to real coaches everyday.

And in this episode, I’m going to share the most common issues that real coaches like YOU are dealing with every single day.

So while they might not ALL apply to you, I guarantee a few of these are going to hit home.

Let’s do this!

 

Quotable Quotes:

Start with lifestyle design first. Your career should follow your lifestyle, not the other way around

—–

If it’s not a yes right now with enthusiasm, then it’s definitely gonna be a no down the line

—–

Be reflective of the impact you make on people’s lives every single day

 

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

  • Why starting with the question “What kind of career do I want” may be the WRONG QUESTION.
  • The power of living beneath your means (especially when you’re starting out).
  • Arguably the most important non-training book you’ll ever read (don’t worry – it’s linked below!)
  • The power of your coaching inner circle – and how to starting growing it today.
  • Thought experiment: Are you taking care of yourself like you tell your clients and athletes to?
  • Why you should seriously consider outsourcing certain elements of your health and wellness.
  • How to recover like a pro.
  • Are you a people pleaser? Trying to change your ways? If so, learn how I’ve started saying “No” more.
  • Why I’ve tried to curate my social media more and more over the years.
  • How to make every single day you coach a little bit better!
