She Invested in Business Coaching, Here's How She Made Her Money Back

What if you knew you wanted to start your own business, but had no idea how to turn your expertise into a profitable offer?

When Amanda Rossetti joined my Online Entrepreneur Academy, she was a newly licensed registered dietitian with a passion for helping female endurance athletes fuel their bodies and improve their performance. After spending nearly seven years in marketing and making a career change into nutrition, she knew she wanted to build a business that gave her more flexibility, fulfillment, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. But with little more than an Instagram account, some networking, and a vision for her future, she wasn't sure how to turn that passion into a sustainable business.

In this episode, Amanda shares how she went from starting her private practice from scratch to signing eight clients and generating nearly $10K in just four months. We talk about how she narrowed her niche to female runners, developed a clear 12-week nutrition coaching program, and learned how to communicate the value of her expertise with confidence. Amanda also shares how she made back her investment in Online Entrepreneur Academy, raised her prices as her business grew, and built a client pipeline through Instagram, referrals, and strategic partnerships.

We also talk about why building a successful business doesn't mean posting on social media every day, how sharing her personal experience with underfueling helped Amanda connect with her ideal clients, and why creating structured offers is more effective than relying on individual nutrition consultations. Amanda shares her plans to expand into group coaching, diversify her revenue streams, and eventually transition out of her full-time telehealth position to focus entirely on her own business.
