My goal is to give you valuable information to aid in making the best decisions for you, and running paid ads is, without a doubt, the best way to grow your business. Want to know more? Join us for today’s STaR Coach Show!

In 2013, Luke Charlton (aka The Aussie Hermit) decided to quit his comfortable six-figure-per-year government job, move halfway around the world, and start an online business as a coach. Thinking he knew enough about marketing to survive in one of the most expensive cities in the world (London), he quickly realized this online thing wasn’t as easy as it looked. Through years of trial and error that left him struggling and nearly going bankrupt, Luke finally discovered the formula for online success. Since then he has helped over 4,000 coaches grow their businesses online. In addition, he has been featured in The Six-Figure Coach Magazine, has spent over $16 million on advertising, has helped clients generate over $50 million in sales, and has written winning ads for world-leading experts such as Bob Proctor, Mike Dillard, Neil Patel, Grace Lever, and many more. Now he spends his days as a hermit living somewhere near Byron Bay as he runs his ad agency and teaches other coaches how to get consistently high-paying clients with paid advertising.

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That’s https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you. I’m enrolling coaches now for my Spring Mentoring Program. Some are here for credentialing hours. Others are here because they want to become the coach their clients rave about. Inside the program, we work on your actual coaching. You’ll hear yourself differently. Learn from other coaches. Develop more presence. And ask questions that create real transformation. If you’re ready to deepen your skills and your impact, I’d love to support you.
