Keeping your radar up for opportunities
In business, keep your radar up for opportunities. For example, if someone mentions that they're friends with someone that I'd really love to have on my podcast, I don't delay - I ask that person if he/she can connect me. If someone mentions a show or a partnership...
Repeating your content
I often repeat some of the same ideas and beliefs when I post content. (Not word-for-word but similar, or with a bit of a spin on it) I noticed that some of the people that I follow and respect do the same thing. Why? Is it because I'm out of ideas and just recycling...
Success
I was introduced to The Blasters when I heard one of their songs played in an episode of "Billions" … I checked out their other stuff and I liked it. They never got really big, but they've been praised for their musical talent. And almost 50 years later they're still...
The problem with charging by the hour
In my opinion, coaches shouldn't structure their businesses to charge by the hour. If you're trying to cobble together a bunch of single sessions at x dollars/hour, you'll either have a tough time filling them, or be burned out (or both). Or you'll get a potential...
Online influencers below the poverty line
Life isn't all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for online influencers. You'd think that having a bunch of YouTube subscribers or Instagram followers would automatically mean that they're millionaires and living the high life, but a lot of those people are struggling...
Not the “Lone Wolf” strategy
If 10 people each start a business on their own, in about 5 years or so, a few of them might achieve some level of success. But if those 10 people work collaboratively, they might all achieve that same level of success in less than half the time! Think about it. Every...
Baseball changes
A few years ago, Major League baseball introduced some big changes: They brought in a pitch clock (which was strange for baseball), bigger bases, and other stuff. I'm a traditionalist and I didn't like the rule changes ,,, But I admit that I like them now! Game times...
What is coaching?
I once asked my followers for their definition of the word "coaching". Here are some of the answers that I got back: “Working with a person to optimize their outcome from a specific experience” “Coaching moves a person from a victim/follower mindset to a...
Loneliness as an online entrepreneur
I once read an article about "The Naked Hermit", a man who left civilization to go live by himself on a secluded island for almost 30 years. He wasn't happy with his life in Japan, so he said "screw it". He sailed off to go walk around naked and enjoy nature by...
Changing things up
Don't be afraid to drop or change things that are no longer serving you or your business. I once spoke to someone who had a super successful membership community launch (he got almost 1000 paying members in just one week!) but he shut it down because it was too much...
