Ask yourself why you have to make a decision so quick to join Carolin Soldo's coaching program. WHY would anyone offer a $4K reduction from $12 to get you to sign up straight away. They know that unless the catch up in the moment you will do your research and come to your senses. This is my experience of Brand Your Passions and I know it is the same for many others who do not want to write reviews or saying anything because you are made to sign an agreement that says you will not say anything negative about Carolin or the company or the program in public. I mean who gets you to do that BEFORE you experience the company? Someone that already knows they have a flawed program. I joined BYP with no online experience at all. I never used facebook really and had no ideal what a funnel was. I was assured that I would be given all the training I needed to set up my funnel and facebook ads. Well if you call a couple of videos help then I am afraid that is all you are going to get. When I first started there was a tech coach who answered lots of questions in the facebook group but after he left they did not replace him and when it was asked about a replacement we were told that tech support was not part of the program. WELL please listen to your sales calls as we are told we get ALL the help we need to set up the funnel. I was excited in the first few modules as it was all about me and my coaching but as soon as it got technical and I needed help it all went down hill. I could not figure out facebook ads, language and technical terms just went over my head. Tara was fantastic at trying to help me but her room on the Q&A calls is always busy and you hardly get time to speak to her. I soon realised that I needed to pour in lots of money testing my funnel and ads and this was just something I could not afford to do. I was told I only needed a few $100's to set up my funnel and get clients but once I was in the program just like others have said you soon realised you need $1,000's to test your funnel. I knew that selling coaching for $5,000 when I am brand new was unrealistic but I listened to the sales person and thought well others are doing it. But actually others are not doing it. Everyone is struggling to get clients at that level. I have since worked with a coach who helped me set up my ads re structure my program to a more realistic price and I have a steady business - She cost $2,000 with a guarantee to work with me until I got my first 3 clients! She has 100% success rate because of this. I fear that Carolin Soldo is more interested in growing a multi million dollar business than actually making sure her clients get results. She goes on about her life and how much money she is making and so do her coaches. What they don't realise is that they are having that life off the back of people pouring in $8K for a program with money they do not have. I would not feel comfortable living my life off other people debts! This program is not what is sold. The agreement is so tight it should ring alarm bells and I wish it had for me. My new coach has a money back guarantee and after doing research most coaches do. Tony Robins, Marie Folio, Amy Porterfield. So you can grow an authentic business without having to trick people into signing up with no way out if the model does not work. I worked 12 hours a day - it took me 3 weeks to do my webinar and the feedback I got back was it was not targeted enough but when I ask for more support in what that meant I was told you get one review only! So don't be fooled by being told if you do all the work you get the results because that is not the case. My final note is to stay WELL CLEAR of Belinda - She is the so called Mindset coach but for someone that is a mindset coach she has the worts mindset I have ever seen. Mindset is about helping people see their true self. With Belinda it is about being who she thinks you should be and if you are not you have a bad mindset. She tells everyone how successful she is but she does not run her own business she is riding off the back of Carolin. She makes you feel inadequate and like you do not deserve success unless you are prepared to get further into debt. She is not liked at all in the program and it is advised to stay well clear of her in the program and focus on Lisa and Tara. They are the only two that I felt really wanted to see me succeed read more

I Purchased Brand Your Passions as I truly believed it was what I needed to build my coaching business. Sadly this is not the case. If you are already a coach and you already have a business and you know how to get clients then you may get value from this course. But like many many many other clients I was left to figure everything out on my own. The help that is promised is not there. There are 100's in the program and you don't get any of your questions answered on the calls. Yes people are successful, but it is the minority not the majority. The material is out of date, and I was constantly being told to ignore the module and just bring questions to the Q&A calls. The check in calls are a joke. Unless you say what they want to hear, you are have a bad mindset! Unless you are telling Carolin how wonderful she is, you have a bad mindset. People are invest their life savings into this ($8,000/ £5,700) in some cases, and for it to be looked upon like we should be thanking them for giving us the time of day is unacceptable. It is a money making machine and Carolin and her team do not care at all about you as a client. Unless you are successful and then they offer you lots of free calls to get you into the next program. She is excellent at marketing herself and posts lots of testimonials!! Well if you have 200 plus clients at any one time (over 4 months) that is over a thousand in 6 months etc whey are they only a tiny handful people saying they are successful? Why are the names blurred on her website?? If you are looking to do Brand Your Passions then think very carefully - if you want to learn a few tips and get some advice, but are pretty much set up then it will be fine. Oh and they don't tell you you need to spend thousands to get your funnel up and running - it will not be a few hundred like they tell you. Carolin even said in the graduate group - You are not taking your business serious enough if you are not prepared to spend at least 5K testing you funnel and being prepared not to get clients! read more

I think it's important to consider all information carefully when considering this coach and her programs. The only business model that is taught in either program is a webinar funnel, and it works if you have enough funds to spend consistently on FB ads as you test and tweak your webinar. It's important to assess and ask what other expenses/investment/budget will be needed to get the success that is promised. I knew the risk of investing, and I don't blame this company for anything that has happened in my business. I accept FULL responsibility for making a large investment into a business model that was probably not right for me in the long run. But behavior and client treatment is something else to consider. Myself and others were intimidated to ever say anything in opposition to them because they simply can't handle criticism well. The most common excuse for someone who disagrees is that they have a bad mindset. I left the program early and my access to one program, BYP (which is advertised as lifetime access) was restricted. That is fraudulent. It has since been reinstated but not until after I used the word fraudulent on social media when referring to a coach I used to work with. I did so without slander and without naming her directly, yet Carolin responded politely. I asked her to not interact with me and I had no desire to be in contact with her. She then threatened to post bad reviews on my FB business page! I have the screenshot message as proof. She's never been a client of mine. She has since apologized and we have talked one on one. I get that we are all human, but this kind of response is the most unprofessional I've seen so far and is one of the reasons why I chose to leave her program. SO LET THE RECORD SHOW - if anyone from this company contacts me again or does anything in retaliation for this review, I will take steps to file harassment. read more

Before Carolin Soldo's Brand Your Passions, I had a great service, but not many customers. I was meeting people face-to-face and getting paid for individual sessions. In other words, I did not have a good business model. In my fourth month of BYP, I more than doubled what I was making at my former full-time job, and I finished the program with 4 clients in my 8 week signature program. I have a clear idea of my ideal client, my program(s), my business model and my goals for the coming year. Belinda had taught me how to think BIG. She has also recommended several great books that I have read and they all have been life-changing (The Big Leap, Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs, etc). She has helped me think about speaking on an international level. She has helped me understanding and accept the fear that I feel. Sue is a sales genius, in that the way she trained us made perfect sense to me and was easy for me to follow. Sue also recommended 3 of her favorite sales books to me and I have learned a lot from them. I would wholeheartedly recommend these programs. The coaches are so knowledgeable, genuine, generous of their time, and their program teaches absolutely everything a coach needs to know to get a profitable business up and running. They have all proven to be worth their weight in gold, and I feel so confident that I will reach my goals with them behind me! read more

Expensive programs that teach coaches only how to create an automated webinar funnel with Facebook ads. No advice was ever given to have any other content in a sales funnel or to market in any other way than through Facebook. While it works, it can be expensive and hard to maintain when setting up a new business. As someone new to working with clients, I should not have been invited into the 12 month program because what it takes financially to run and perfect the webinar funnel. Coach forgot very important details that I discussed clearly with her about my situation, and it placed me in a hardship. In my experience, discussing concerns or issues with the coaches on her team resulted in gaslighting, curt responses, and a cold attitude. Lots of better coaches out there, do you research! read more

Sales person was not honest or not knowledgeable about the money required each month to actually run my business the way Carolin taught each month. I planned financially for what I was told and then a few months in I found out that the business model, in order to be successful in bringing in ANY income, the monthly commitment was much higher. Any concerns I brought to the team were brushed off, glossed over, or turned around back on me. Not worth the investment! read more
