When they have rumblings in their tummies
An example of someone putting Gary Halbert's "Feed a starving crowd" advice into action: Greg Kilwein founded AttractWell in 2015 as something to help people sell a specific line of health and wellness products online (ie: supplements, essential oils, personal care...
The Coaching Missile Crisis
I just finished reading Ryan Holiday's new book, "Stillness Is The Key". Throughout it, he gives examples of famous (and not-so-famous) people throughout history who faced challenging times but were able to embrace stillness to come out on top. My favourite story from...
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 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

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...
