How To Become An Online Coach - #125

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Oh, hello, friends. welcome back to Modern Wisdom. Today, I am joined by Jonny and Yusef from propanefitness.com, and today we are talking about how to become an online coach. Those of you who frequent the internet, especially Instagram, will have seen online coaches offering you transformations, diet and training advice. But how do you do it? How do you go from being an offline PT or perhaps someone who just has an interest in health and fitness? How do you go from being a normal schmo who only exists in the real world to being the king of online income? Well, Jonny Yusef's New Business, which they've been working on for the last few years, coaches, coaches. They coach coaches to become online entrepreneurs. And based on the results, they're pretty good at it. Even if you have no interest in becoming an online coach, I highly advise that you enjoy this episode, mostly because Jonny and Yusef are hilarious and their stories from over the last few years of how they've learned to become effective online coaches. And some of the people that they've met are side splitting. On top of that as well, it will protect you from the spurious and nefarious tactics that some online coaches are using to get you to part from your hard earned money when they don't deserve it at all. So let's get on the side of the good guys. Listen to this episode. And if you've got any questions, comments or feedback, you know where I am, at chriswillx on all social media. But for now, it's Jonny and Yusef time. Also, while this intro music is playing, go and give us five stars wherever you're listening. It would make me very happy indeed.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I'm joined by Dr. Ned Flanders. Highly holy. And Jonny from Yusef. Jonny from Yusef, Jonny and Yusef from Propane Fitness.

**Jonny** (2:05)
Did you mean to do that?

**Chris Williamson** (2:06)
No.

**Jonny** (2:07)
That's incredible.

**Chris Williamson** (2:08)
Jonny from Yusef and Yusef, who looks like Ned Flanders. To the people that are listening, Yusef has grown a mustache for Movember, and he looks.

**Yusef** (2:15)
I've been likened to every famous figure with a mustache over the month.

**Chris Williamson** (2:19)
Apart from Tom Selleck. Have you had Tom's hook?

**Yusef** (2:21)
Captain Hook.

**Jonny** (2:21)
You are very Captain Hook at the moment, actually.

**Yusef** (2:23)
Did he have a... he had it like a... Yeah.

**Jonny** (2:26)
If we get you a hat, a red coat.

**Yusef** (2:27)
Right. Crash Bandicoot. You know, the character.

**Chris Williamson** (2:30)
Whoopity-goop, whoopity-goop.

**Yusef** (2:31)
Without Googling it, did he have a chain on his jeans?

**Chris Williamson** (2:36)
Yes. Yes.

**Jonny** (2:38)
He had blue denim shorts, red shoes and a silver chain.

**Yusef** (2:42)
So Mike did this to me the other day, and he doesn't have a chain, but it just shows the power of suggestibility. I was like, well, yeah. And then we looked at him up and he never has a chain. And you're like, ah. So that's why I'm thinking Captain Hook maybe didn't have a mustache.

**Jonny** (2:55)
I really thought that that was relevant.

**Chris Williamson** (2:58)
It is relevant.

**Yusef** (2:59)
It's not relevant.

**Jonny** (2:59)
Because Chris has said, you look like Captain Hook.

**Chris Williamson** (3:02)
Enough. Thank you. Okay. Today we're going to talk about how to be an online coach. This is what Jonny and Yusef do. The new wing of Propane is PropaneBusiness. Butane. You also have a new podcast. We do. The PropaneBusiness podcast.

**Jonny** (3:19)
I mean, it's not technically called that.

**Chris Williamson** (3:21)
What's it called?

**Yusef** (3:22)
If you search PropaneBusiness on iTunes, you'll get it. It's called...

**Jonny** (3:26)
Grow Your Online Fitness Business. The reason that it's not called the PropaneBusiness podcast is there are a group of people who make money from selling propane via a business.

**Chris Williamson** (3:38)
As a result, we don't...

**Jonny** (3:40)
They do own the domain.

**Yusef** (3:41)
And they wanted to sell it for 36,000 dollars to us. And we said, no, thank you.

**Chris Williamson** (3:48)
PropaneBusiness for people who want to get into the butane industry.

**Jonny** (3:51)
Into the propane business, yeah. You know Hank from King of the Hill?

**Chris Williamson** (3:55)
Yeah.

**Jonny** (3:55)
That's what he does. He's in the propane business.

**Yusef** (3:57)
And accessories for propane.

**Chris Williamson** (4:00)
Okay.

**Jonny** (4:00)
Propane and propane accessories.

**Chris Williamson** (4:02)
So there will be some people listening who think, I'm an in-gym PT, I'm fucking sick of this. Sick of my clients giving me the flu. I want to work in my socks and my pants. I don't want to do this anymore. That's quite accurate.
