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...

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...
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (well ok, in this one), female Star Wars fans weren't able to buy women's clothing for their favourite movie franchise. They had to settle for buying the men's small sizes, and then cross their fingers and hope it fit well....

Green, yellow, red
Not all prospects are the same. In a perfect world, 100% of leads coming in to you would be ready to whip open their wallets and buy what you're selling today, but that's just not the case. I once heard a stat that approximately 3% of people coming to you are ready to...
