Yeah, I mean, I'm a morning person. I'd rather work at 3.30 in the morning than 9.30 at night, even though that happens. But I would rather do that. But again, I want my duty rest. So we need a shift.
I am Charles Schwartz Show

I think the most important thing, well, to back up, I first got very overwhelmed and I think a lot of people get overwhelmed thinking that they need the best website and the best, like, yes, you do need a really good program, but they think that they have to be, they think that they have to have the perfect product and site and all of that, when the reality is, I think it's most important to focus on getting your clients and that client experience and
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
hustling with that and just getting experience with it rather than getting worried about, you know, kind of the structure of everything else. So I think just getting that experience at first with what you are trying to build and getting kind of people to test it out is the most important thing. And then everything else can kind of not naturally fall into place because it's a lot of work.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
But when I first started my business, I was coaching Klienten gratis. Ich habe meine Apartment-Bildung geemailt, weil du einen Portal posten kannst. Und ich habe gesagt, hey, ich habe mich gerade zu einem Nahrungscoach gekonnt. Du kannst mich hiren und ich werde dich für drei Monate coachen. Und all I want is just your testimonial. And all I want is that. You don't have to pay me anything.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Und so grinding and just getting that experience at first. And I definitely would not recommend doing anything for free for three months. Maybe it's like a one-time session because that's a long time and people want to make money. But just getting that experience because it helps boost your confidence knowing that you can do this and just putting yourself out there.

People just want to be heard. People want to be heard. I only work with women. I don't work with men because I do like, not that men are emotional, you're fabulous, but I just enjoy work. I enjoy working with women because I know that things are, you know, you want to be heard, you want to be validated, but at the same time, my clients also want to just be told Die Wahrheit und was zu tun.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Aber mit der Klienten-Erfahrung und wie ich alles damit geformt habe. Das erste, was ich vergessen habe zu sagen, ist, als ich gratis coachte, hatte ich auch noch meinen eigenen Job. Also ist es so, als hätte ich meinen Job verabschiedet und dann nichts und war wirklich gestresst. Also denke ich, wenn jemand ein Geschäft starten will, ist es hilfreich, es auf der Seite zu arbeiten.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Habe dich mehr mit dem Weg. Aber anyway, zurück zu meiner Klienten-Erfahrung. Ich only did one-on-one coaching. And I did a lot of time together. They had full access, you know, text access all the time. We had 60-minute, hour-long calls every week or twice a week. It was a lot of me that I gave to them and they gave me a lot of themselves as well.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And what I realized is that things get repetitive and you need time to put action to place with it. And that helped me then create more of a format with with what people need, because everyone has a different lifestyle and preference, but the foundation of how to lose weight and how to stay consistent, all of that is pretty, you know, it can work for most people.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And then from there turning that into a group coaching program and now kind of taking myself out of it to run without me.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Ja, ich würde sagen, dass für mein persönliches Leben, insbesondere mit Gesundheit und Fitness, mit dem, wie man konsistent ist, es ist mehr darum, dein Umfeld für Erfolg zu setzen und jede Tension, die involviert ist, zu reduzieren. Ich lebe in einem Apartment und es gibt ein Gym in meinem Gebäude. It takes very little effort for me to go to the gym.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
But if I was going to a gym that was an hour away, would I be going every day? Right now, yes, because I'm very disciplined with it. But in the past, no, absolutely not. And so giving yourself easy access to make good for you decisions, that's important. And making it hard for yourself to make Ja, genau. Das ist sehr wichtig. Ich habe viel darüber gelernt, als ich älter geworden bin.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Thank you so much for having me. I'm super excited.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Es ist einfach für mich, erfolgreich zu sein. In Bezug auf mein Geschäft, mit dem ich konsistent bin, habe ich eine Sache, die ich als Dialmovers für meine Klienten nenne, die sich auf die Das sind die wenigen Dinge, die den Dial mit dem Fettverlust bewegen.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Wir fokussieren uns auf Bewegung, wir fokussieren uns auf Kalorien, wir fokussieren uns auf den Defizit und wir fokussieren uns auf das Trinken von Wasser. Die Grundlagen, was uns als Mensch gut fühlt. Und das bare Minimum ist, dass man diese Dinge täglich treffen muss. And so for myself, for my business, it's okay, I need to post daily. I need to advertise myself and market myself.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And then I need to respond to people in my DMs. And like that's the bare minimum. Even if I'm having the worst day ever, even if I accomplish nothing else, I have to do that. And that helps me move through the motions, even when I don't want to.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, so my name is Amanda Dobler. I started my own health coaching business that's bringing in six figures every single month. I went to Vanderbilt University and I struggled with my weight for a while. I was always a huge yo-yo dieter. I was breaking out a ton. I was always trying the next big thing. health trend and next big juice trend and whatever type of health fix to try to lose weight.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Ja, mit meinen Kunden oder für mein Geschäft.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
What worked for me when I started out is something that still absolutely works for me now, which is sharing client testimonials. And so even when I was first starting out and I got my first client, even though it was a free client, they weren't paying me at all.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
It's sharing that testimonial and walking through the story of how that happened and how if that person can do it, then someone else can do it. And so even if you just have one person that you've helped, it's continuing to... um darüber zu sprechen und es zu lassen, dass es möglich ist.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Also, wiederum, wie auf Instagram zu posten und meine Geschichte zu teilen, ihre Geschichte zu teilen, meine Methode damit zu teilen. Und das hat Traction gewonnen. Und ich denke, die Dinge, die ich damals gemacht habe, ich habe auch einfach viel studiert. Ich habe viel gelernt. Ich habe geschaut, was andere Coachs tun, was andere Leute tun.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Not to copy them, but to get ideas of what is in the market and how to structure a program. Just taking the time to learn. And that's something that I still do today. But also just putting things into action as well, not just taking in all the information and being like, oh, I'm so scared. I don't want to do it. I'm not going to be perfect with it yet. But it's learning and then just trying.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And if that fails, you try again, try again and just not giving up.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, so the testimonials that work the best are the ones that show proof of the result and also the pain points and the outcome with it. That's what makes a testimonial, but it's hitting on all those parts. The old way of having a testimonial in the diet industry is saying, hey, Jill lost 10 pounds in two weeks and people eat that up.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
But people are getting smarter now, or at least the clients that I'm attracting, they're smarter. They know, hey, I've tried this, that won't work. And so it's focusing on the fact that this client lost 20 pounds in three months. She didn't restrict anything. She goes out to eat, showing proof of that, right, the text that I have with my clients there.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
vor und nach den Bildern und wirklich zu Hause auf die Tatsache, dass Menschen Gewicht verlieren wollen, aber sie wollen ihre sozialen Leben nicht vergeben. Sie wollen ihre Pizza nicht vergeben, was auch immer es ist. Und deshalb ist es wirklich wichtig, die ganze Transformationsgeschichte zu erzählen. Und Really talking about the avatar, right?
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And so I struggled with my weight and my self-esteem and confidence for a very long time. Once I graduated college, I worked in the corporate world and I was still just mit Essen, mit Alkohol und ich fühlte mich einfach nicht am besten.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
There's a few different avatars that I have of my client base. I have the busy working mom. I have the busy single woman in her 20s or 30s and goes out a lot. I have the woman who just had a baby a few months ago. There's a whole variety of women and I work with. Das ist möglich. Es ist nicht dein Cortisol, es sind nicht deine Hormone, es ist nicht was anderes.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Oder diese Person hat mit PCOS Probleme und sie hat noch das Gewicht verloren. Also ist es, all diese Punkte zu erreichen.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Ja, ich meine, und wahrlich gesagt, die Sache mit Gewichtsschmerzen, mit Schmerzschmerzen, Any coach out there, they didn't come up with this magic or this secret of how to lose weight. It literally is the same for every person, being in a calorie deficit. But the way that I teach it, I think, is just more informative because there's no rules with it.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
So when a client signs on with me, I set them up with their Ja, genau. $80 on a shirt that you really like on Monday, maybe, but then you'll only have $20 left for the rest of the week. You might go in debt with it, right? Is it really worth it? And that's how I view calories.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
You have a set amount of calories to be in a deficit with and you're in full control of it, but it's probably best to make smart decisions with it and say, hey, let me go have three pizzas on a Monday and then you're going on vacation and whatever. So it's thinking about your week in a whole.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And so rather than giving my clients a set meal plan or a strict meal plan, I don't believe in that because if you follow a meal plan, what happens when you go on vacation and your meal plan isn't there? You have to learn how to make your plate, structure your plate wherever you are.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Also habe ich endlich gemerkt, hey, ich muss an die Rute kommen, was mein Problem ist und stoppe mit Essen, stoppe mit Alkohol und arbeite wirklich auf meine Habits und meine Verhältnisse und meine Trigger und wirklich mit meinem Mindset verbinden und über das kontrollieren. Und so habe ich 20 Pound verloren, ohne zu restriktieren, ohne in den Gym zu gehen.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
So I like them to keep a little food log and then after their first week, I go in and I do a food audit and I call little revamps. So hey, maybe we, instead of the 2% yogurt, we switch it to 0% and you can get more volume from it. And so I like to show the why, the why of why we make these changes rather than, hey, do this. Because we're all adults and I think it's very important. It's our body.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Treat it the best that you can. So shedding light on that. And I have them focus on Their steps, their water and then being in a calorie deficit. And one thing with my coaching is I'm very vulnerable with my clients. I'm very honest with them. I think the only way to really grow is to be honest with yourself.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And many people are nervous to shed light on the fact that they're still struggling with binge eating or whatever. And so I, my clients have text access to me in a group. And so they can ask questions whenever. So if someone is about to They have a binge, right? They write in and they say, I need help with this. And then, you know, I'm one step away being able to kind of coach them through that.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And so it's a 16-week program. And we have weekly coaching calls. They have a community of hundreds of women involved that they can ask questions to. And truly, the community is the best part of my program. It's funny because most people, when they think group coaching, they're like, no, I just want the full coach's attention. I don't care about anyone else. I want to focus on me.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And it turns out that the group, the environment of these women that I work with, they're so amazing. And it's the reason why people stay on with me. It's why they want to stay in that.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Ja, so honestly, I promise to answer your question, if I were someone starting from scratch and I had no platform, nothing, I would start my program on school. It's not a plug for him, I just started learning about it, but that platform is very similar to like Kajabi, you can host your material on it, you can have a community there, you can advertise your program as well.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And I think that's what I would start with. But for myself, I don't want to transfer everything over right now. So a client, I have them, I use Kajabi for my quotes. Kajabi has a community aspect now, which I'm using. But for the tech support, my clients are in Telegram, which is a free app, similar to WhatsApp. And there's different groups in there and we use that. And then we use...
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Und seitdem habe ich das Methoden zu Tausenden von Frauen gelehrt und habe jetzt mein eigenes Gesundheitscoaching-Business. Und es war unglaublich.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Microsoft Excel to keep track of their habits. We use MyFitnessPal to keep track of their food. I'm not a tech-savvy person at all. I started my clients on a Microsoft Word document and used my cell phone. Everyone had my number. And then as I've grown and learned more, I transferred to more legit ways to have a business.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
But at first it was my email, my phone, sharing a Word document together, which is still fine. But now it needs more of a system.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
A lot of voice notes. It's a lot of, I mean, my eyes, you know, by the end of the day, I look incredibly high because my eyes just get very red from typing and from looking. So there's now some boundaries I have to put in place with that. But it's a lot of support, which is why my clients have So much success, but there's a way to still continue that on without me as involved.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Honestly, support from others, I think, is interesting. How do I phrase this? I think that when you say you want to start a company or you have this vision, especially as a woman, it's hard for people to take you seriously, especially in a very overly saturated market of
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
fitness and health and weight loss um and so knowing that even the people closest to you might not be rooting for you at first um and just if if you really believe in yourself and what you want to do and as you continue to have evidence that you are very good at what you do right with testimonials then just keep building on that um and i think that that's something that i've gained a lot more confidence with as i've
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Das ist ein sehr generelles Hinweis, und wir hören das immer, aber nur, um zu versuchen, konsistent zu bleiben und zu wissen, dass es Zeit nehmen wird und du nicht die erste Zeit herum perfekt sein musst.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, and I think one thing that is so helpful is there's no other option for me. I never want to go back to a corporate job. So I never want to get fat. There's no option but to keep going. So there was this one time when I was not making much money and really trying to break into the coaching world and get more clients.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
My mom, who I love, but she was like, Amanda, maybe give yourself a month and then maybe we go back and think about Ja, genau.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
So, one thing about me is I'm very blunt and I'm very honest and I think it comes from being... German and then also being in Aries, not to get into astrology, but I just say things as they are. And so I think that there are so many gimmicks out there. There's so much BS.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
I don't want to answer this wrong. Paycheck. I don't want a paycheck.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Where do your socials? How do they find you? Yeah, Instagram is the best one. And it's Amanda underscore Dobler. D-O-B-L-E-R. It's very simple. I'm on TikTok as well, but I get a ton of messages on there. And it's a crazy platform. And my social, my handle on that is Amanda. I think it's Amanda B. Dobler or Amanda Fatloss Coach. Bei Instagram, Amanda underscore Doppler is the best.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
There's so much fluff in the diet industry and people are sold the idea that they have to buy a supplement, buy whatever quick fix to lose the weight, but that never helps keep the weight off. And so I just got very sick of All of the fluff out there. And so I speak very honestly and I say, hey, you can eat whatever you want.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
If you want to eat pizza every single day for every single meal, you can still lose weight as long as you're in a calorie deficit. You'll probably feel like crap and look like crap because that food is not the best for you. But if you want to do that, you can do that. And so I think it's been very helpful for women to hear, hey, I don't have to give up pizza or carbs or fats.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
oder Wein oder was auch immer, ich kann das immer noch haben, aber ich kontrolliere die Größe der Portion und schaue wirklich darauf hin, wie das Essen und die Trinken mich fühlen. Und so geben Menschen die Freiheit, zu essen, zu trinken, was sie wollen, aber mit einer Struktur um sie herum.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Das, obwohl es nicht grundlegend sein sollte, ist es, weil es so viel, es gibt so viele Regeln da draußen, die keinen Sinn machen. Und ich denke, das war sehr neu für viele Leute und disruptierte die Industrie.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, so it took me, I mean, I've been coaching for six years now. And last year I hit 1.1 million all on my own and started doing six figure months. And so it's taken time to build out to that. So the first thing that I had to realize is, Aber dann, wenn Dinge hart werden oder wenn Dinge nicht die Ergebnisse produzieren, die sie wollen, quiten sie und starten etwas Neues.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Und sie sagen, oh, das wird das nächste beste Ding sein. And then that cycle repeats. And so for myself, I just got really... I put my head down and kept focused and knew that I was not going to have this huge overnight success with it. And I think just being realistic with the results that I wanted and the time frame with it allowed me to continue.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And I think just continuing to stick with it made me really successful with it. And the other thing is that I stuck to my core belief where... You don't have to diet. You don't have to restrict yourself. You don't have to buy something to lose weight. You just have to really work on your habits and behaviors. Like that's a long-term effect.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And so the way that I run my business is thinking about the long-term impact of how I structure it and the decisions I make. And it's the same way that I teach my fat loss philosophy, where it's the long-term effect of what you're doing right now.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, it's been sticking to my core belief that you have to focus on And I know we're saying, what's the one habit that you need to focus on? But it's really focusing on your identity and who you want to become and what you have to do to produce those results. Rather than just saying, hey, I want to make $100,000 a month. Like, how do I get there?
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Instead, I think about who I want to be, the type of company that I want to run and the type of clients that I want to work with.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, so the first platform that I was on was Instagram. And it was very interesting. It took me a while to grow on Instagram. And I'm still not huge on it, but I was able to create 50, 60, 75 thousand dollar months with just 5,000 followers.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And I think it's really interesting because, not to compare it to anyone else, but there are people out there who have millions of followers and they can make a dime. Whereas you have an audience that is super engaged and you have a thousand people. You can make so much money with it because as long as people can connect with you and engage with you and relate to you, that's most important.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Posting on Instagram, telling my story, knowing that what I went through, so many other women are currently going through or have gone through and being really honest about it because weight is a really tricky subject. It's a very vulnerable subject. No one wants to say, hey, I'm struggling with food. Hey, I'm I'm eating a container of peanut butter at one in the morning, right?
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And I struggle with that. No one wants to admit that. And on Instagram, I just started posting honestly about what I went through, what I struggled with and made it more normalized for other people to say, hey, I'm dealing with this as well. Can you help me with it? And that's how my coaching started.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, with Instagram, I mean, social media is tough because you think that when you work so hard on the post and you're like, this is the one that people are going to connect with, it's going to go viral, it's going to get so many likes. And then that post that you spend so much time on, it gets zero.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
And so that was really frustrating for me at first because I would try to be perfect with what I was producing. And it turned out that my most, like, not chaotic posts, but the ones, the things that I just thought of right away and then posted right away, Which were my most authentic ones, like those people could really relate to.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Not the ones where I'm sitting at my desk for three hours trying to come up with like the best caption, right? Because no one really cares. They want to hear the pain point, the struggle that they're going through. And really getting into that versus, hey, my program has, and then listing out the bullet points of what comes with it. It's like, no.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Where are they struggling and what's the transformation that they want? And I knew nothing about marketing, nothing about sales, nothing about any of that. I've never done a paid ad. But just being truly authentic was the best thing ever. And people always say, just be yourself, right? Be authentic, act yourself. That works if you are authentic. eine gute Person, würde ich sagen.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, team of one right here. So I finally realized that I need some help. So I have been a jack of all trades. I've learned everything through taking part. Vielen Dank.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
how i teach how to lose weight it's a skill everything in life is a skill that can be taught and can be learned and so if i don't know how to teach it i need to know how to i need to learn it and so really just starting with one step um and continuing on is really helpful i get very overwhelmed very easily and so being able to break it down to bite-sized pieces has been very helpful um but it's just been it's just been me i'm the social media manager i'm the coach i'm the
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Ich bin die CEO, ich bin der CFO, ich bin jeder. Und es ist ein großer Lernkurs gewesen, aber ich bin sehr dankbar dafür, dass ich durchgegangen bin. Aber es ist wirklich hart. Und jetzt denke ich, hey, ich brauche wahrscheinlich etwas Hilfe mit dem, weil wenn du post 200k Monate machst, brauchst du Hilfe. Es ist nicht nachhaltig.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Yeah, I like that question. I mean, this shift has happened recently for me, where I realized that what I'm doing right now, it's amazing and I'm so proud of myself, but it's not sustainable for me. And I think when my wake-up time has gone from waking up at 6 a.m. to now waking up at 3.45 a.m., 3.30 a.m., and answering messages very late, I know that in the future, if I want to Ja, genau.
I am Charles Schwartz Show
Her 7-Figure Empire. No Excuses.
Es ist einfach so, wo ich gerade bin. Und von 0 zu 1 Millionen und dann von 1 Millionen zu 5 oder 10 Millionen, das ist ein ganz anderer Ballgame, den ich auch realisiert habe.
