The “Construct Your Dream Coaching Business” program returns!
I haven't run one of my "Construct Your Dream Coaching Business" group programs since last fall, so it's time to open it up again! Over 12 weeks I'll work directly with a small, select group of coaches and hold their hands to walk them through the exact steps to take...
Joint venture opportunities now available for April and May 2022!
Last week something unusual happened on a Zoom call that I did: The person I was chatting with started a company that is a leader in its niche, is easily one of the top players in it, and has a great reputation built up over the years. During our conversation, I asked...
(Podcast) Make an Impact as a Coach with Integrity!
It's another new week, and a brand new episode of Natural Born Coaches has just been released out into the world … Today I have Filip Van Houte on the show, and in this episode you'll hear about: The three elements to building your coaching business onlineWhat...
Following your passions
If you find yourself bored, listless, or lacking motivation, find out what you're passionate about and do it (and preferably monetize it). I sometimes hear: "But I don't know what I'm passionate about!" Everyone is passionate about something … Here's a tip that works...
Re: difficult clients
I'm going to tell you something that will save you a lot of grief, keep you from losing hair, reduce your wrinkles, and likely increase how long you'll live: If you're dealing with a difficult client, drop him/her immediately. It doesn't matter if the client is having...
About those pain-in-the-butt clients
I have a very important rule when it comes to my coaching business: I don't work with pain-in-the-butt clients. (I have a "No A-hole/No b____" policy that's served me well over the years!) Life's too short to work with difficult people, and since I started enforcing...
Last call for April’s Secret Coach Club!
A story that Robin Gibb from The Bee Gees told when he was asked how the band wrote the song “I Started A Joke”: "The melody to this one was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four engine 'prop'...
Pet rocks … and a whole lot more!
A quote from Jeffrey Bezos: "All overnight success takes about 10 years" Not to knock a guy who's done ok for himself (net worth of almost $200 Billion), but the quote isn't exactly true. Take the Pet Rock fad that hit in the 1970's. Inventor Gary Dahl was having some...
How I get booked on 100+ podcasts per year
I'm a big fan of being interviewed on podcasts. It's a no-brainer: it gets your name and message out to a whole bunch of people who don't know you, and you can get a lot of new business from it … This year I've already done about 30 shows, so I should guest on over...
The value of repelling certain people
I once heard a story from a friend who in his past life was a web designer. Back then he put a page on his website where he laid out exactly who his ideal client was. He didn't hold back with his description. He put it all out there … He described who he wouldn't work...
