Like The Beatles, I want to hold your hand
A common tale around the coaching world: Person invests in a program, then gets tossed over to a different coach (usually an inexperienced one), or thrown onto Q and A calls with a bunch of others fighting to get their questions answered. It's frustrating situation,...
I rewrote Ernest Shackleton’s ad
An ad that explorer Ernest Shackleton placed in the newspaper when he was looking for men to join his team for his expedition to The Antarctic: ===== “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful....
Work with Marc
About the coaches I choose to work 1:1 with: 1) They're action-takers:They don't delay, dither or over-think. They hate procrastination as much as I do, and smash through it without me having to nag. I work with winners, not excuse-makers! 2) They want to make a big...
A podcast interview with a Stanley Cup winner-turned-coach
Back when I was growing up, I was a big hockey fan (of course … I'm Canadian!). "Hockey Night In Canada" was on the TV every Saturday night, and I had boxes and boxes of hockey cards in my room. A few of those cards were of Mike Hartman, who won the Stanley Cup with...
Three months to get your coaching business rolling
I often mock the get-rich-quick types. (There's plenty to choose from in the online space …) You know who I mean: They're the ones who want to make 7-figures in their first month, while sipping drinks on the beach or at poolside. They're led on by the gurus who rent...

This is something I’ve never done before …

You can do this in a “cloffice”
Apparently it's becoming popular these days for people to convert their closets into small home offices. Or a "cloffice" (closet + office) When I first heard of the trend, I was skeptical … We just finished a new office at the house for me, and despite being a...
If I had to start all over
If I had to start my coaching business from scratch, without knowing a single soul or having a penny to my name, I know how i'd do it: I'd use the "3 Pillars" strategy. In the last seven years I've used this strategy, with some experimentation and tweaks, and will...
