There's no right answer. It depends on your preference, your budget, your bandwidth, and honestly, how much hand-holding you actually want versus how much momentum you can create in a room full of other sharp women doing the same work.

Here's the breakdown of both, so you can decide with your eyes open instead of guessing.

Group Coaching: The FeMetis Membership

This isn't a Facebook group where you post a question and hope someone answers by Thursday. It's group coaching with a mastermind twist. The members are coaching each other just as much as I'm coaching them. We meet every Wednesday from 4-5pm EST, and members also get access to Open Office Hours every Monday from 11:30am-1pm EST, where you can pop in, ask a question, work on something live, and get back to your day.

Group coaching is the right fit if you:

• Want ongoing, steady momentum without a big upfront financial commitment

• Thrive with peer input, not just expert input.

  • Sometimes the best insight in the room comes from another founder, not me

• Want a collaborative, no-gatekeeping community over a solo relationship

• Are disciplined enough to apply what you learn without someone checking in on you individually every week

The investment: $1,111 for 6 months, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required to start. Based on 13 years of client data, members typically see a 30-40% financial ROI within 12 months [averaging around $2,500] and reclaim 6-13 weeks of time over that same period.*

Here's what one group member has to say, "I want to thank you for all you have done for me this past year. I truly would have given up earlier this year if you hadn't been there to support me, and lift me up. When I hear you talk about me and my work, I feel like a queen and like I'm the only one who can help women in the manner they desire. You are my rock and I appreciate you more than you can imagine." Lori P.

Private Coaching: 1:1

If group coaching is momentum through community, 1:1 is momentum through customization. This is weekly or twice-monthly, depending on the package. individualized coaching, built around your specific business, your specific market, and your specific bottlenecks with Trello-based feedback between sessions so nothing falls through the cracks.

1:1 coaching is the right fit if you:

• Want the fastest path to a customized strategy, not a general framework applied to your situation

• Value weekly accountability and don't want to self-direct between sessions

• Are ready to make a premium investment because you've already calculated what your time is actually worth

• Want the full package: Open Office Hours access, a full year of complimentary Real Talk Network membership, and a podcast interview opportunity

The investment: Two options:
1. $4,444 for 6 sessions over 12 weeks [twice-monthly]

2. $7,777 for 12 sessions over 12 weeks [weekly]

Clients typically see a 40% financial ROI within 6-9 months [averaging $11,000-$19,000] and reclaim 13-20 weeks of time over 12 months.*

Here's what Melissa says about her 1:1 coaching experience, "Angie helped me set up my funnel the right way, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s knowledgeable, patient (truly has the patience of a saint), and brings so much energy and positivity to the process. Her bubbly personality makes everything not just easier, but actually fun. I’d recommend her a hundred times over!" Melissa Sasser, Polished Biz Solutions

The Real Difference Isn't Price. It's Pace.

I recommend thinking about it like this, group coaching gives you consistent support at a sustainable pace, with the added benefit of a room full of women who understand exactly what you're navigating. Private coaching gives you speed, a compressed, highly customized path with someone dedicated to your specific numbers, your specific offer, and your specific gaps.

Neither one is "better." One is built for steady growth alongside community. The other is built for founders who know exactly what they need and want to get there faster, with full attention on their business alone.

One thing that doesn't change between the two: our work together is never generic. Whether you're in the room with other founders or working with me directly, the strategy is built from real market research into how your ideal clients actually talk not a one-size-fits-all coaching blueprint.

Which one do you prefer?

Ask yourself honestly:

• Do you have the budget for a premium 1:1 investment right now?

  • Does a lower-commitment starting point make more sense?

• Do you want a community of peers in the mix?

  • Do you want laser-focused, individual attention?

• Do you need weekly personal accountability?

  • Can you run with strategy on your own and check in along the way?

There's no wrong choice here, only the one that matches where you are right now. And if you're not sure, that's exactly what a strategic fit + vision session is for. https://calendly.com/angiegiltner/strategic-fit-vision-session
