Ready to break through your business plateau? The path forward might not be working harder at what you're already doing—it could be diversifying your revenue streams strategically. Coach Martin tackles this challenge head-on with three game-changing strategies that can transform any sports business.

Most entrepreneurs get stuck in a single-track mindset, missing countless opportunities right in front of them. The first strategy—what Coach Martin calls a "Green Light Sesh"—involves gathering trusted people for judgment-free idea generation. Through this approach, a sports trainer might discover they could expand beyond physical training into evaluations, leadership coaching, or speaking engagements (which, as Coach reveals, can pay $1,000+ per hour even at the high school level). These adjacent services leverage your existing expertise while creating entirely new income streams.

Strategic collaborations represent the second diversification pathway. By identifying complementary businesses serving your same customer base, you can create powerful referral partnerships. For example, if you train athletes, potential collaborators might include supplement companies, equipment manufacturers, or recovery specialists. These partnerships amplify your reach without additional marketing costs while creating value for everyone involved—especially your customers.

The third strategy—which Coach Martin describes as "gold"—is implementing an affiliate marketing program. This approach essentially builds a commission-based sales force that costs nothing until they produce results. With the right technical infrastructure to track and manage these relationships, you can exponentially expand your business reach through others who are incentivized to promote your services.
