Did not provide support and knowledge I hoped for Did not feel they were knowledgeable in my field of coaching even though in the discovery I was led to believe they were. For what I paid I felt I should have received more support. Only 2 days of the week were offered which were not convenient for my schedule and had to wait through a whole list of people to get your question answered. At times email response would take several days to a week.

Pace Yourself New to the business and coaching world, I acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge and insight from Carolin and learned much about myself and my business. BYP was certainly worth the investment from the technical aspect, but it needed tweaking in the area of meaningful support & coaching. As I learned the on-line aspect, I struggled with the pace and time frame in which the information was presented and needed to be completed. I seriously worked 10 hours days for 4+ months! BYP needed to be a 6-8 month program in order to 'really' learn the content and enjoy the journey. I discovered I prefer 1:1 coaching for the effectiveness and personal connection and not Carolin's group coaching. Overall, I wish I had been able to connect with Carolin more and enjoy the journey better.

Not for people with technology or marketing experience I would not recommend Carolin's Brand Your Passions program to any coaches that I know. With a background in marketing & technology, there was very little value added provided for the steep cost of the program. Specifically, the technology recommendations are out to lunch. They are recommending super expensive or technically difficult programs with software integrations which are complex for people not familiar with them. I did not use any of their tech recommendations and feel sorry for the people who are spending thousands of dollars a month on systems they don't need. The marketing concepts were basic. There are some good Facebook marketing tutorials, but I got just as much out of the free Facebook resources online. The copy team reviews might as well not have been provided for all the value they added - all of the feedback I was given was contradictory to info provided in the *free bonus* Hook & Copy webinars. There was some great sales training by one third party guest, but not provided by anyone within the program. Also, there is ZERO one-on-one time available with Carolin in this program, which is not how it is marketed. There is access once a week (maybe depending on her schedule) in a group Q&A session, which is monopolized by tech questions.

Everyone has been very helpful and… Everyone has been very helpful and great to work with. I do wish the modules had more information or examples to go off of. For example, the tech stuff there is a huge learning curve for me and one week just isn't enough time to learn how to use the programs and then implement them. I am way behind in the program. I started week 8 on Monday and I'm still working on stuff in week 5, 6, & 7. Plus there were issues getting my website up because Go Daddy and Hostgator don't "talk" to eachother without specific instructions. Definitely need more time for the modules especially for people who work 50 hours a week at their job and have 3 kids at home. Two weeks on some modules would be much better. It would allow more time for the learning curve.

It didn't work for me While the information and teaching were helpful, the overall strategy did not work. I did everything by the book, and got absolutely NO business after spending thousands of dollars on the course and on advertising. I met with the coaches and consulted with them as much as I could, but the strategy failed to work. And at the end, the comments from the coaches were that if it did not work it was because I was doing it wrong, which I felt was not fair. It's cookie cutter coaching and I've moved on to an individual business coach who works with me one on one, costing less than the 8,000 I spent on BYP. His approach has already gotten results because it's very much focused on ME, not on the strategy he has already established.
