Building a $42 million clock in a mountain
Humans are, for the most part, short-sighted creatures. They want everything now, and aren't willing to wait for it. I see it all the time in the coaching world. Sure, plenty of coaches will wait a few weeks or a few months for things to click, but they aren't usually...
Your money … or your life!
There's a classic Jack Benny skit where he's walking down the sidewalk and is suddenly confronted by a mugger. === Mugger: Don't make a move - this is a stick up! Jack: What? Mugger: You heard me … Jack: Mister, put down that gun. Mugger: Shut up. Your money … or your...
My 2019 year-end review
2019 was a year of big changes for my coaching business. This included offering new programs (ie: laser coaching, one month "sprints", etc) and upsells that I'd never done before … I also completely revamped NaturalBornCoaches.com to make it cleaner and easier to...
It’s not losing, it’s learning how to win
Ted Turner turns 81 years old today, and in honour of that I'll share something from his book "Call Me Ted". (A great book, by the way …) Turner is a big fan of sailing and did it competitively for much of his life. Despite having big wins (like in the "America's...

He sticks out like a sore thumb in the online space
I once joked during a podcast interview that my default position when meeting any online entrepreneur is to assume that they're full of it until they prove me wrong. Ok, not everyone is a fake - but there are a lot of them who have rolled out of bed this morning and...
The Wheel of Proof
On Tuesday I'll be with Ollie Denyer as he presents a training for coaches, and one of the big things he'll be going over in it is "The Wheel of Proof". (Not to be confused with the "Circle Of Life" song from "The Lion King"). The Wheel of Proof is something that all...
When the student surpasses the teacher

Who Ollie’s training is for (and not for)
Next week I'll be hosting a training for coaches with Ollie Denyer … Since everyone's time is valuable, here's who the training is for (and isn't for): Coaches who have had at least one client or clients Coaches who know their niche (this training isn't about showing...
Hundreds of clients (and less than 4 hours of coaching time per week)
Let me tell you about a guy who's had a lot of success in the online space: His name is Ollie Denyer, and he got started selling on Amazon and made $300,000 in his first year (that's not an easy thing to do for a rookie). Then he built it up to a business doing...
