Whatever it takes
Tom Prichard wrote a book for aspiring professional wrestlers, and in it he said something that applies to entrepreneurs as well: "There are three kinds of people; those who 'try' and they'll never make it because when they don't, they say, 'Well, at least I tried,'...
Book your “Value Call” today!
Instead of doing "discovery calls", or "strategy calls" (or let's be honest, sales calls), I prefer to do: "Value Calls" The goal of my value call isn't to sell you into my program. Don't get me wrong - if it's the right fit to do something together then great, but I...

You’re not a dinosaur if you don’t want to be a dancing monkey on social media
TikTok has been a hot topic over the past few weeks … Meh, I never got into the platform so I don't care what happens to it. I downloaded it to check it out, created a few pieces of content, and then left. My target market isn't on there, or if they are using it it's...
If sending a bunch of cold DMs to strangers make you want to vomit, do this instead …
I've never been a fan of cold messaging strangers to build my coaching business. It just hasn't been my thing. During one month last year I did send over 1000 warm messages to people I know from social media/podcasting during a launch, and that wore me down … So I...
Everything a coach needs under one roof
Over the years I've helped coaches in a lot of different ways: I've released a number of online courses, have done plenty of group coaching, 1:1's, masterminds, even print newsletters. But one of the things that always bugged me was a feeling of disconnect. For...
