People often overcomplicate what it takes to build a great life.
But at Escapist, we’ve seen time and time again that being a coach, done right, is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to create an awesome lifestyle.

You get to work with people you care about.
You get to train, grow, and see the direct impact of your effort.
You’re not stuck in an office, you’re living in movement and purpose.

The truth is:
Working in a small business is different.
You can grow fast, but only if you grow your skills.

Where It Starts: Coaching, Human Connection & Accountability

At the core of coaching is showing up as a professional and as a good human.

You prepare your classes.
You talk to people.
You remember what’s important to them.
You hold them accountable, not because it’s a job, but because it matters.

You smile. You connect. You coach.

If you can consistently do that, you already have the foundation of an incredible career.

Level Up #1: Marketing & Communication

But to really grow, you’ll need to learn how to reach more people.
That means building skills like:
– Writing useful content
– Recording videos that share value and solves clients problems
– Handling basic editing and software
– Understanding how funnels work and how to build trust at scale

Marketing is, simply put, education and clarity for free.
And if you can communicate clearly, you’ll always have opportunities.

Level Up #2: Sales & Influence

Next comes sales, a word that makes a lot of coaches nervous.
But here’s what sales actually is:
Listening. Asking the right questions. Understanding someone’s problem better than they do.
And then showing them the path.

At Escapist, we use techniques like:

• Motivational interviewing
• Sales psychology
• Value-based conversation
• Simple follow-ups that show we care

When you master sales, you don’t just “sell”, you serve with precision.

Level Up #3: Leadership & Coaching Mastery

If you want to become irreplaceable, you need to think bigger:
– Can you manage people?
– Can you build plans for clients and keep them on track?
– Can you have the tough conversations when they matter most?

A great coach isn’t just a rep counter.
They’re a guide, a strategist, and sometimes the one person who won’t let someone give up on themselves.

It’s Not Complicated, But It’s Not Always Easy

For every new skill you develop, your career can explode.
You’ll earn more, reach more people, and become harder to replace.

But here’s the catch:
Every skill comes with resistance.
It will be uncomfortable.
It will stretch you.
And you’ll have to make time to learn, again and again.

The Reward? A Life That Most People Only Dream About

Being a coach at Escapist isn’t about staying stuck.
It’s a launchpad.
It’s a chance to build a career where your body, brain, and bank account all grow together.

And the path is already laid out.
You just have to walk it.
