Death by a thousand cuts
With all of the tech tools and platforms needed to run a coaching business, it can feel like "death by a thousand cuts" Sure, individually they aren't a lot of money. Some are even free … Others are just $15/month. A few are 20, or 25 bucks a month. Oh, there's that...
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with technology
If you're a coach frustrated and feeling overwhelmed with tech, you aren't alone. Most coaches I know would rather spend their time actually coaching, instead of dealing with tech headaches … Greg Kilwein (from AttractWell) has been helping coaches grow their...
Time well spent
I'm getting into the Netflix series "The I-Land" It's about 10 strangers who wake up on a deserted island without their memories, and have to try to piece things together to solve the mystery. Being a fan of "LOST" back in the day, I had to check it out. I really like...

A good blaster versus a lightsaber
I'm not a big woo woo guy. To put it in Star Wars terms, I’m more like Han Solo than Luke Skywalker … Han (referring to The Force): “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid” While I'm not usually throwing around words like...
Clarification on the whole “clients while you sleep” thing
The other day I was talking about getting coaching clients while you sleep, but I have to clear something up: I'm not one of these guys who thinks you can do 5 minutes of work and then get a flood of clients overnight every night. While "The Four-Hour Workweek" has...
The day I got attacked by peaceniks
Today is the International Day of Peace, and last year I ruffled a few feathers on this date. I sent out an email with the subject line "Why The International Day of Peace Is A Scam", which made what I think is a valid point. However, some "make love, not war" folks...
