The Profit Acceleration Playbook: How Karl Bryan Helps Coaches Build Six-Figure Businesses

If you’ve been around the business coaching industry, you’ve likely heard the name Karl Bryan. As the Founder of Focused.com and the creator of the Profit Acceleration Software™, Karl has revolutionized the way business coaches grow their businesses and deliver measurable results for clients.

We sat down with Karl to get a behind-the-scenes look at his coaching methodology, how his software changes the game, and what it really takes to build a successful coaching practice.

Q: Karl, business coaching has exploded in recent years. What do you think separates the successful coaches from those who struggle?

Karl Bryan: There’s a big difference between someone who wants to be a coach and someone who builds a real coaching business. Too many coaches start out thinking, I know business—I’ll just give advice and get paid for it. But they don’t have a proven system to find clients, sign them up, and deliver real financial results.

Coaches who succeed have three things in place:

1. A system for generating leads consistently.
2. A process to close high-paying clients.
3. A framework to deliver measurable financial impact to clients.

That’s why I created Profit Acceleration Coaching™—to eliminate the guesswork and give coaches a structured way to build a business that actually makes money.

Q: Let’s talk about your Profit Acceleration Software™. What makes it such a game-changer?

Karl Bryan: Business owners hire coaches for one reason—they want more profit. The problem is, most coaches struggle to prove their value upfront. They rely on promises and theories instead of showing hard numbers.

Profit Acceleration Software™ flips the script. It allows a coach to sit down with a business owner, run a 45-minute assessment, and instantly identify revenue opportunities—without the business spending a dollar more on marketing.

Our software:

• Pinpoints missed revenue and profit opportunities in key areas like pricing, upsells, referrals, and digital marketing.
• Generates a 12-month roadmap customized to the business.
• Shows the client real dollar amounts they could be adding to their bottom line.

When a business owner sees, in black and white, that they’re leaving money on the table—hiring a coach becomes an easy decision.

Q: Many coaches struggle to get clients. What’s your advice?

Karl Bryan: Business owners don’t buy coaching. They buy solutions to their problems. That’s why our coaches use strategies like:

• Joint Ventures with Accountants & CPAs – Business owners already trust their accountants. We teach our coaches how to partner with these professionals and tap into their client base.
• Workshops & Webinars – Running small events that showcase their expertise and demonstrate real profit acceleration opportunities.
• Profit Acceleration Assessments – Instead of trying to sell coaching, they offer an assessment that reveals hidden profits.

When you show a business owner where they can add revenue instead of telling them you can help, closing new clients becomes much easier.

Q: What’s the earning potential for business coaches using your system?

Karl Bryan: Look, most coaches struggle to make six figures. They get stuck in the time-for-money trap, charging by the hour and constantly hunting for clients.

According to Glassdoor, business coaches earn an average salary of $100,000 per year. 

Entry-Level Coaches – $1,500 to $2,500 per client per month
Experienced Coaches – $5,000 to $10,000 per client per month
Group Coaching & Passive Income – Additional six-figure revenue streams. Some coaches incorporate online courses, membership programs, or automated coaching for additional revenue.

The key is value-based pricing. Our coaches don’t charge by the hour—they charge based on the financial impact they create.

Q: For someone thinking about becoming a business coach, what’s the first step?

Karl Bryan: Don’t try to figure it out on your own. Business coaching isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about having a proven system.
