The Growth Coach

In today’s post-pandemic business world, there is certainly no shortage of challenges, and as a result, business leaders are increasingly desperate for support. This is why&nbsp;<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-growth-coach-wraps-up-first-half-of-an-impressive-year-with-record-breaking-sales-and-significant-franchise-growth-2719229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Growth Coach</a>, a 65-unit small-business coaching franchise, is emerging as one of the most in-demand and lucrative franchise opportunities in 2022. Over the last six months, the brand has signed has seen 20% of franchisees break sales records across the system.“We really revamped our business model at the end of last year, taking a hard look at the coaching industry and looking for ways to create the strongest business coaching franchise opportunity possible,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://strategicfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-growth-coach-wraps-up-first-half-of-an-impressive-year-with-record-breaking-sales-and-significant-franchise-growth-2719229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Strategic Franchising Systems</a> President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherseman?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-growth-coach-wraps-up-first-half-of-an-impressive-year-with-record-breaking-sales-and-significant-franchise-growth-2719229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chris Seman</a>. “We reworked the business model to appeal to more middle-class entrepreneurs looking to take the next step of their career, and as a result, we’ve seen a significant increase in new locations in 2022. We opened more territories this year than the last two years combined.”&nbsp;But the brand isn’t just breaking franchise sales records — existing The Growth Coach owners are also breaking their own sales records at a unit level. In fact, as of last month, one franchisee,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/why-this-insurance-expert-decided-to-franchise-with-the-growth-coach-2718676">Jeff Roberts of Kansas City</a>, officially completed&nbsp;<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/winners-circle-program/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-growth-coach-wraps-up-first-half-of-an-impressive-year-with-record-breaking-sales-and-significant-franchise-growth-2719229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Winner’s Circle</a>, an incentive program that refunds a franchisee’s initial franchise fee ($27,900) upon completion of certain key benchmarks.“We’ve had really good momentum, and it is so exciting to see franchisees break records and earn their franchise fee back, especially despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic,” said The Growth Coach Director of Marketing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johns4ja?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-growth-coach-wraps-up-first-half-of-an-impressive-year-with-record-breaking-sales-and-significant-franchise-growth-2719229" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joshua Johns</a>. “That kind of excitement also really motivates other franchisees, and it is a good testament that what we are doing is working.”On the consumer side, Seman says coaching demand is continuing to grow due to economic uncertainty, low unemployment and high inflation. “A lot of small and medium businesses are looking for guidance and help,” he said. “That has given our coaches in the field great headwinds, and many new franchise owners are launching with clients right out of the gate.”The Growth Coach team has also continued to launch new products and services to keep up with that demand and stay ahead of the competition. “We rolled out virtual products during COVID, and those have really taken off in the first six months of this year,” Seman said. “Once clients go through The Growth Coach program, they have access to our business development tools and all the products we’ve launched over the past few years.”&nbsp;For example, one of the more recently launched products is the brand’s Succession Planning platform, which helps business owners plan for the future. Another big project is the brand’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program, which offers workshops to help businesses continually prioritize diversity on their teams.“As we continue to revamp our business model and roll out new products, we remain one of the most flexible and affordable coaching franchise models out there,” said Seman. “We also have an unbelievable infrastructure of support for our franchisees. Not only do you get corporate support, but you are also coached directly by Growth Coaches in the field and groups of fellow franchise owners. That kind of support is hard to find. What gets people to invest is our uniquely favorable franchise offering, which provides a wealth of support and, in most cases, a very quick return on investment.”That rapid return on investment is aided by several factors, including a low initial investment — ranging from $42,000 – $63,900, one of the lowest in the executive coaching segment — and a streamlined opening process that brings new franchisees to market quickly after signing on.Looking ahead to the rest of the year, The Growth Coach is gearing up for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/after-doubling-its-revenue-in-2021-the-growth-coach-gears-up-to-establish-300-locations-across-25-countries-by-2027-2718672#featured">widespread expansion</a>, seeking passionate coaches and consultants in markets across the country to join its network of franchise owners. Target markets the brand is currently eying for development include California, Texas and Colorado.“We hope to double franchise development in the second half of the year and are also in the process of signing two international franchisees,” said Seman. “Our main focus is to continue to perfect our business model and our products and introduce them to move people across the country. We’ve had a lot of momentum over the past few years, and the first half of 2022 suggests that this trajectory won’t slow down anytime soon.”

Own a Growth Coach Franchise

After decades in the corporate world — spanning insurance, real estate, and mergers and acquisitions —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffhroberts">Jeff Roberts</a> knew exactly what he wanted his “next act” to look like: something meaningful, something flexible and something that allowed him to prioritize his most important role: being a grandfather.That clarity led him directly to&nbsp;<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/">The Growth Coach</a>, the business coaching franchise designed for professionals who want to use their expertise to help others thrive while enjoying the freedom to live life on their own terms.“I made the decision that I didn’t want another big business — I wanted a lifestyle business,” Roberts said. “I’ve got the revenue to a level where I am comfortable and can enjoy this stage in my life. I take Fridays off. I don’t put in 10-hour days like I used to. I can build and execute the business around who I am and my strengths.”Today, Roberts represents exactly what&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info">The Growth Coach</a> was built for: seasoned professionals who want to turn decades of knowledge into a flexible, purpose-driven coaching business.<h2>A Career of Helping Small Businesses</h2>Before franchising, Roberts spent his career working closely with entrepreneurs through insurance, real estate and M&amp;A work. That experience made him uniquely tuned into what small business owners need — and the impact a good coach can have.“I loved helping small business owners grow,” he said. “I was in a corporate setting and was ready to get in my own business again, after having had it for several years. That’s when I found The Growth Coach.”But this time, he didn’t want to start from scratch.“Having had my own businesses, I knew how much of a lift it is to do the branding, marketing and sales yourself,” he said. “What was most appealing about the franchise is that all of that is already in place. You already have tools you can take and modify and make your own. It’s a really fast on-ramp to get the business up and going.”<h2>Why The Growth Coach Was the Right Fit</h2>Roberts immediately connected with the franchise’s culture, support system and flexibility.“I really liked the culture of The Growth Coach,” he said. “It was a smaller franchise and you could really know the leadership. I liked that there was collaboration among the coaches and a plan to help initiate your startup. The basics were there — you can be up and running fairly quickly.”He also appreciated&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/the-growth-coach-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-for-2025-2730271">The Growth Coach’s unique model</a> — one that allows owners to scale&nbsp;or stay lean based on lifestyle preference.“The most significant thing for me was that you can make it your own within the franchise,” Roberts said. “Every franchisee has the freedom to determine where they put their energy and focus. I really liked that freedom to leverage my strengths.”This flexibility is rare in franchising—and one of the biggest appeals of The Growth Coach. Franchisees can choose to operate solo, build a larger enterprise or create a hybrid model.“There’s no right or wrong way,” he said. “It depends on what stage you are at in your life.”<h2>Freedom, Flexibility and the Ability To Control Your Schedule</h2>For Roberts, the most powerful aspect of being a franchisee with The Growth Coach is the ability to design his business around his life, not the other way around.“I wanted the freedom to control my own schedule, work as hard or not as hard as I want,” he said. “I have total control over it. I love being able to work from home, for example. That freedom has been a significant part of what I love about this franchise.”Many owners of The Growth Coach value the flexibility and efficiency of the business model, which allows for no required office space, no employees needed and low overhead, all while engaging in high-impact work with true schedule autonomy.Roberts launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegrowthcoach.com/northwest-arkansas/">The Growth Coach of Northwest Arkansas and Missouri</a> in 2020, right as the COVID-19 pandemic began. He grew his business in a new community, then relocated it again years later to be closer to family.“That is another perk of the franchise,” he said. “You can move if there isn’t already another The Growth Coach [in the market]. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but it is definitely doable.”That kind of portability is almost unheard of in traditional business ownership and makes the model especially appealing to people entering a more flexible season of life.<h2>Purpose-Driven Work That Makes a Real Impact</h2>Some franchise owners are drawn to The Growth Coach for the flexibility. Others for the income potential. For Roberts, purpose is at the heart of it.“I love how fulfilling it is. I feel like I have purpose with my clients and I am truly helping people,” he said. “If I didn’t find purpose in what I was doing, I wouldn’t be fulfilled. Seeing my clients accomplish their goals is where the real value is.”<a href="https://www.thegrowthcoach.com/what-we-do/strategic-business-mindset">The Growth Coach’s proprietary Strategic Mindset Process</a> doesn’t just give franchisees a proven system. It transforms lives and businesses through accountability and behavior change.Roberts also emphasizes an important reality: franchising isn’t magic. It still requires work, especially in the early days.“Too many people go into business ownership without realizing how much hard work it is,” he said. “Just because you have a cool logo and a cool website doesn’t mean people are going to start paying you. You have to sell yourself.”For Roberts, the franchise provides tools, resources and a foundation, but success still comes down to the owner’s effort and dedication.“If people don’t have a good work ethic, it's not the franchisor’s responsibility to make it successful. It’s on that individual to get out there and bring value,” he said.<h2>A Legacy Built on Experience and Intentional Living</h2>Today, Roberts enjoys a highly fulfilling career that gives him the income, schedule autonomy and freedom he wants, while allowing him to stay close to his family and enjoy being present for his grandchildren.“I wanted a business that let me focus on my main priorities, time to travel and spend time with my wife, being a grandfather, and enjoying my favorite pastimes of fly fishing and pickleball.” he said. “Through The Growth Coach, I’ve been able to do this successfully.”For anyone seeking the same combination of purpose, flexibility and lifestyle freedom, The Growth Coach may be the next move that transforms not only a career, but a life.For more information on franchising with The Growth Coach visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info">https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info</a>.

A Lifestyle Business: Why Top-Tier Professionals Are Finding Purpose with The Growth Coach Franchise

a-lifestyle-business-why-top-tier-professionals-are-finding-autonomy-and-purpose-with-the-growth-coach-franchise

<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/">The Growth Coach</a>, a leading business and sales coaching franchise backed by&nbsp;<a href="https://strategicfranchising.com/">Strategic Franchising Systems</a>, is ending the year with record-setting momentum. Fueled by unprecedented franchise development performance, major innovation in coaching technology, strong owner retention and growing demand from corporate clients, 2025 stands as the brand’s most successful year in more than half a decade.“It’s been a very good growth and expansion year,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/growthcoachbrad/">Brad Schneider</a>, president of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info">The Growth Coach</a>. “We have had a better sales year than we’ve had in the last seven years. From a franchise development standpoint, this is our best year since 2019, and we are super excited about that.”The Growth Coach sold nine new territories this year, a 125 percent increase over recent years, and expanded internationally with its first territory in Hong Kong, showcasing the brand’s growing global relevance. The brand also hit a milestone in owner retention, demonstrating the strength and longevity of its model.“We had ten territories up for renewal this year with coaches who came to their agreement,” Schneider said. “So it’s a lot of good news on the growth and retention side of things. New blood coming in, and keeping and motivating existing owners as well.”In a business environment marked by economic and political uncertainty, more professionals are turning to coaching, both as clients and as franchise owners. Schneider says the current climate is accelerating demand.“For us, uncertainty for everyone else is a great thing for our service, whether it be political or economic,” he said. “All of those things are contributing to people joining The Growth Coach.”The brand continues to lead the coaching space with a proven, scalable model, low overhead, high-value support, lifestyle flexibility and a franchisee-first leadership approach — all key draws for new operators looking for meaningful work with strong earning potential.One of the most significant developments this year was the introduction of The Growth Coach’s new AI coaching tool, which enhances both franchisee and client experience.“We launched an AI coaching tool this year, so now we have the ability to do just-in-time coaching with all clients and owners,” Schneider said. “It’s a partnership we have with a vendor who has developed marketing strategies and coaching tools. This is a huge differentiator in the marketplace. Owners can use those AI tools to add that coaching layer alongside the Strategic Mindset coaching.”While The Growth Coach remains well-known for its work with small business owners and entrepreneurs, the brand has also seen increasing demand from mid-sized and large corporations seeking leadership development.“We’re seeing a lot of growth and expansion with corporations doing leadership development work,” Schneider said. “Because we’ve been coaching business owners for 20 years, we have easy entry into some well-paying clients by taking our expertise into larger organizations and showing them what entrepreneurs do on a regular basis.”Internal enhancements also played a major role in this year’s momentum. The Growth Coach completed a comprehensive overhaul of its training program and knowledge base, with an emphasis on video learning and peer-to-peer expertise.“We’ve been featuring the top performers in the network who are sharing their best practices on video,” Schneider said. “We still have an aggressive program to help owners, but now they can hear from the superstars in our network as well.”On the operational side, the brand is currently redesigning its client-facing website to enhance messaging, improve conversion capabilities and generate stronger leads for owners.“We are really putting effort into enhancing capabilities and developing new leads for our owners,” Schneider said. “We are refining our messaging to better reflect how the market views coaching, allowing us to speak the language of prospects, attract the right clients and clearly show how coaching fits into their business.”After closing its strongest year in more than seven years, The Growth Coach is gearing up for even greater expansion. “We’re hoping to add 16 to 20 new owners next year,” Schneider said. “There is so much opportunity ahead of us.”

Building a Business and a Life With The Growth Coach

As the only pure business and sales coaching franchise focused on driving professional success and work-life balance,&nbsp;<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/">The Growth Coach</a> offers entrepreneurs an opportunity to make an impact while building a rewarding, flexible business. Founded in 2003 and backed by&nbsp;<a href="https://strategicfranchising.com/">Strategic Franchising Systems</a>, the brand has spent over two decades perfecting its model — one that delivers meaningful results for clients and long-term value for franchisees.“We help small business owners, managers and executives step back from the day-to-day, see the big picture and make better decisions — and that’s powerful,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/growthcoachbrad">Brad Schneider</a>, president of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info">The Growth Coach</a> and owner of The Growth Coach of Central Ohio North. “It’s not about more information. It’s about behavior change. That’s what drives growth.”Here are the top five reasons to invest in The Growth Coach franchise.<h2>1. A Proven Model That Makes Coaching Scalable</h2>Unlike most coaching concepts that rely solely on one-on-one sessions, The Growth Coach pioneered a group-coaching model to drive lasting results. Franchisees can serve more clients in less time, helping more local businesses while maximizing their own earning potential.“You don’t have to be an expert in any one area,” Schneider said. “We’ll make you an expert in our process, which lets you work with any type of business. The Growth Coach system has been refined over 20 years to deliver value right out of the gate.”With a proprietary&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegrowthcoach.com/what-we-do/strategic-business-mindset">Strategic Mindset® Process</a>, The Growth Coach empowers clients to achieve both business and personal growth and gives franchise owners the infrastructure to succeed without reinventing the wheel.<h2>2. Affordable Investment and High-Value Support</h2>The Growth Coach offers one of the most affordable investments in the coaching industry, with a total cost ranging from&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/the-growth-coach-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-for-2025-2730271#featured">$54,000 to $75,900 and a franchise fee of $39,900</a>. The brand’s&nbsp;<a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/winners-circle-program/">Winner’s Circle Program</a> even allows franchisees to earn back their franchise fee, creating unmatched value.Just as importantly, franchisees benefit from extensive marketing and operational support. That includes a customized website, social media management, email campaigns, video assets and best-practice webinars, all designed to help new owners hit the ground running.“For me, that royalty is an investment to save time,” Schneider said. “I enjoy being with clients, talking to people, figuring out their needs and how we fit. I’m not excited about banging out PowerPoints or programming a CRM. That’s what the franchise provides, the tools and systems so you can focus on impact.”<h2>3. Work-Life Balance and Lifestyle Freedom</h2>Many franchisees are mid- to late-career professionals ready for a new chapter. One where they can control their time, income, and lifestyle. The Growth Coach offers a low-overhead, flexible model with no required office space or employees, allowing franchisees to design their schedules around their lives.“I have four kids,” Schneider said. “Owning a Growth Coach franchise let me go on college baseball trips, coach in the morning, work from the hotel, then watch my son play in the afternoon. One of our franchisees takes Fridays off for grandkids and fly-fishing, another travels with his wife for months every year. You can build a meaningful business and still live the life you want.”<h2>4. A Growing Industry with Massive Demand</h2><a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/the-growth-coach-franchise/">Business coaching is an $11 billion industry in the United States</a> and continues to grow by nearly $200 million each year. With over 28 million small businesses nationwide, many seeking guidance on leadership, sales, and work-life balance, the opportunity for business coaching has never been stronger.“We’re in an era where behavior change, not information, drives results,” Schneider said. “Business owners are overwhelmed. They have access to more knowledge than ever, but what they need is accountability and confidence to act on it. That’s where The Growth Coach delivers real value.”Franchisees can serve their communities while building long-term relationships that generate recurring revenue and personal satisfaction.<h2>5. Leadership That Understands the Franchisee Experience</h2>What truly sets The Growth Coach apart is its leadership. As both a franchisee and the president of the brand,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/building-a-business-and-a-life-with-the-growth-coach-2730499#featured">Schneider brings an authentic, hands-on perspective to every decision</a>.“The decisions I make at the franchisor level, I live with in my own business,” he said. “That’s a huge advantage. It helps us communicate with owners and ensure we’re developing strategies that really work on the ground.”This franchisee-first mindset extends across The Growth Coach network. “We’re a community of people who care about each other’s success,” Schneider said.<h2>Join a Proven Franchise that Helps Others Thrive</h2>With more than 40 territories open and sales more than doubling year over year, The Growth Coach is expanding across the U.S. and abroad for the long haul. For entrepreneurs looking for a career that blends financial opportunity with personal fulfillment, there’s never been a better time to get involved.“It can be lucrative, but you need a servant’s heart,” Schneider said. “If you’re genuine, if you have knowledge to give back, if you want to be impactful in your community, this is a business that can change your life while helping others do the same.”For more information on franchising with The Growth Coach, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info">https://1851franchise.com/thegrowthcoach/info</a>.
