Installing a 6 foot 8, 400 pound bouncer at the door of your business
In “Book Yourself Solid”, Michael Port talks about having a “Red Velvet Rope” policy. It means that you treat your coaching business like the hot new restaurant that’s just opened up. Not everyone can waltz in and expect to get a table. Or you’re like the popular...
The dog ate my homework!
The last few days I’ve been talking about my 1:1 laser coaching program, which has a unique aspect to it: Homework. At the end of each session, homework is assigned and must be completed before the next laser call can be booked. Yes, “homework” is an ugly word. It...
