For coaches in nearly any field, product creation is the best way to: 

• Reach a wider audience 
• Grow your brand 
• Earn more profits 

So why aren’t more coaches adopting the product creation strategy? Like you, they’re stuck in the process, unsure of the steps to take to create a great product.
