Fundamentals beat trends

Here’s how fundamentals beat trends and how I used them to grow my online coaching business to $10k/month.

A friend of mine once played in World Cup qualifiers. Today, he’s coached over 50,000 kids and is preparing for a TED talk.

I’ve coached soccer too in the past, and I’ve seen the same pattern over and over:

The kids who go pro are not the ones chasing fancy moves. They’re the ones who repeat the basics until they’re automatic.

Once they master the fundamentals that allow them to do any fancy move they want.

The online world is full of noise and “new tricks” every day. But in reality, a few core fundamentals, done deeply and consistently, are what move the needle.

Mastering just 4 fundamentals can take an online coaching business from zero to $10K/month as I've done it myself & also helped others do the same.

When I first started my online coaching business, I was chasing the fancy moves from the start. This made me stuck, and I saw no progress. I was constantly chasing new information, when in reality, it was the implementation that I was missing.

Everything changed when I avoided this:

I avoided switching my offer over and over again because when I kept changing my offer and my niche, it made my core audience confused.

2. I stopped “searching for the perfect traffic strategy.” At the beginning, I didn’t have a big audience. Still don’t.

No 10k+ member community. No huge YouTube channel. No 100k+ social media following. No team to assist me.

Turns out… I didn’t need any of that.

The moment I stopped searching for the perfect traffic strategy and focused on attracting the right people with one simple traffic system, everything started to grow naturally.

Implementation beats information. Repetition on what works beats trend. One of my clients added $30,000 cash collected with fewer than 1,000 subscribers by following this exact principle.

I’m 10,000% convinced this works because it’s true everywhere, not just in business.

Before I could become a lifeguard, I had to master the fundamentals of swimming. Before I built muscle, I had to master the fundamentals of training.

Mastery always starts with fundamentals, and fundamentals always beat shortcuts is what I realized.

3. I stopped delaying conversations

The internet allows us to connect with a wide range of people very quickly. I knew I had access to talk to my potential customers, but because I waited, nothing moved.

I hid behind content. I told myself I “needed to post more” before reaching out. I thought sales would magically happen if I just kept creating.

But the truth was simple:

Conversations create clients. Silence creates stagnation. Once I stopped waiting and started talking to people every day about their goals, problems, and what reality they wanted to create, everything shifted.

I got clarity. I got feedback. I got momentum. And I got to $10k/m.

This is how focusing on the fundamentals helped me make more progress than I ever have.
