Beware: This Might Be Ruining Your Online Training Or Coaching Business

The #1 Belief That Could Be Ruining Your Business

As a business owner, your success depends not only on your skills and strategies but also on the beliefs you hold about what is possible. In today’s article, I want to share the one thing that could be quietly sabotaging your growth, limiting your impact, and ultimately holding back your income, your freedom, and your future.

There’s a saying: “It’s not what you don’t know that hurts you the most, it’s what you think you know that isn’t true.”

That single line sums up one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face.

The Danger of False Beliefs in Business

If you’re aware that you don’t know something, that’s fine—you can avoid mistakes, seek answers, or get help.

But the real danger lies in the things you believe to be true that actually aren’t. These false beliefs are what keep many business owners stuck.

For example:

• “Nobody will pay high-ticket prices in my niche.”

• “Facebook and Instagram ads don’t work anymore.”

• “You need a massive following to get clients online.”

• “Nobody buys coaching unless they meet me in person first.”

Each of these statements is a belief, not a fact. And holding onto them could be the exact reason why you’re not getting the results you deserve.

Real-World Example: Charging Too Little

I recently spoke to a coach who was stuck. They were an incredible coach, delivering life-changing results, but still struggling to make ends meet.

Why? Because they were charging just $500 for their online coaching package.

Meanwhile, I know coaches in the exact same niche, in the same country, offering the same type of service, charging $2,000, $3,000—even $5,000 for similar programs. Their clients happily paid, and they were thriving.

The problem wasn’t the market. The problem was this coach’s belief that “nobody would ever pay more.” That belief kept them trapped in overwork and under-earning.

Why False Beliefs Kill Growth

Here’s the truth:

• If you believe clients won’t pay more, you won’t raise your prices.

• If you believe ads don’t work, you won’t invest in a proven lead generation system.

• If you believe online fitness coaching isn’t a real business, you’ll never build one.

And so, your business gets stuck—not because of what you don’t know, but because of what you believe that simply isn’t true.

This is why it’s so important to challenge your thinking.

How to Challenge Your Beliefs

If you want to grow, you must be willing to test what you believe to be true. Here’s how:

• Pause when you catch yourself making absolute statements.
  Example: “Nobody in my market pays over $500.”

• Ask yourself: What if this isn’t true?
  What if there are clients who would pay more?

• Look for real-world proof.
  Talk to other coaches. Study the success stories. Seek mentors who are already achieving what you want.

• Stay open-minded.
  Don’t just gather information to prove your old belief right. Truly listen and evaluate.

Your beliefs shape your habits. Your habits shape your results. If you want new results, you need new beliefs.

Why This Matters for Online Coaches

If you’re a fitness coach or personal trainer trying to grow online, this may be the very thing holding you back.

The difference between those who are stuck at a handful of low-paying clients and those scaling to six figures and beyond is often belief patterns, not talent or hard work.

When you’re open to challenging your assumptions, you’ll discover:

• You can charge premium prices.

• You can sign clients without being “Insta-famous.”

• You can build predictable systems for leads and clients.

The proof is in the results. Just take a look at the many Tribefit reviews, where coaches who once struggled are now thriving.

Final Thoughts

Your beliefs are either the greatest tool in your business or the biggest barrier.

If you want to grow, earn more, and create the impact you dream of, challenge what you “know.” Question whether your beliefs are based on real data—or if they’re just assumptions that are keeping you stuck.

Growth starts by being open. The more open you are to new truths, the faster you’ll break through your limits.
