OUR FAVORITE COURSE
HIGHLIGHTS

The number one factor that holds back most new coaches is a lack of confidence. Other programs teach a lot of theory, but leave you scratching your head when it’s time to apply it to real life clients. Or they provide you with templates, but forget to tell you what to do when your client goes off-script. This can be painful and intimidating.

But NOT at ITN! We give you a completely done-for-you coaching system that includes a coach guide (for you) and a workbook (for your client). The 12 week plan includes exact talking points, meal plans, handouts, supplement information plus so much more.

This turn key system eliminates all of the guesswork, so you can make money, coach with confidence, and get clients fast. You’ll never worry about what to say to a client ever again.
