Building a 7-Figure Business Without a Big Team

In this coaching session, Dustin Riechmann and John Bates break down what it really takes to grow a speaking and coaching business to seven figures—without building a massive team. John reflects on lessons from running a 15-year referral-based practice, the challenges of inconsistent revenue, and why adding scalable offers like workshops, group coaching, and continuity programs is key to creating predictable growth. He shares how a $40,000 “anchor” package shapes client perception, why business leaders invest in communication mastery, and how speaking at masterminds has become a powerful lead source. Together, they explore the balance of fulfillment, profitability, and lifestyle—showing how small, well-structured teams and consistent offers can create a mid-seven-figure business while preserving freedom and impact.
