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...
Getting clients while you’re drooling on your pillow
One of the things I talk about often is listening to what your market needs help with, and to "feed a starving crowd". I keep a document on my laptop with questions that come in, so I can track what coaches are hungry for … that list has grown quite large, so I'm...
The value you provide
One of my favourite quotes is "Money is an echo of value" (Bob Burg). So I enjoyed having Sidar Ok on my podcast earlier this week to talk about how to multiple your value in the marketplace. In this episode, you'll hear: What are the self-imposed glass ceilings that...
A cool bonus for my new laser coaching clients
Tonight I’m closing enrollment in my new 1:1 laser coaching program, and I’m offering a cool bonus to those who take the plunge: Three back issues of my Secret Coach Club hard copy newsletter (value $291 USD) To answer a question about the bonus: “Can I choose any...
The power of deadlines
I'm a fan of deadlines. Ever notice that the sooner one approaches, the more productive you become? It doesn't apply only to business - but also tasks like mowing the lawn before it starts raining, or cleaning the house before company arrives. Humans are remarkably...
A podcast money tree in your backyard
Podcasting can be a great way to grow one's business. But I see a lot of people rushing into starting shows and expecting them to become magic money trees in their backyards right away. Unfortunately, that usually doesn't happen. Especially not when you miss doing...
An extra $32,000+ in coaching revenue per year
Of all the offers that coaches can make, laser coaching is one of the most attractive. Because of how it's run (with short, 15-minute sessions instead of 1 or 2 hour long ones), you can offer it at a rate that will fit the budget of most of your marketplace … Despite...
The dog ate my homework
The last few days I've been talking about my 1:1 laser coaching program, which has a unique aspect to it: Homework. At the end of each session, homework is assigned and must be completed before the next laser call can be booked. Yes, "homework" is an ugly word. It...
You can’t read the label when you’re inside the bottle
There's an old story arc in the "Iron Man" comics called "Demon In A Bottle". In it, Tony Stark's world is crashing down around him, and he hits the booze hard. His life is a mess, and he has to give up being Iron Man until he can get back on track. I see a lot of...
