17 recordings to help your coaching business
One of the perks of being a Secret Coach Club subscriber is you get access to the live calls that I do with a special guest every month. New subscribers also get access to all of the past call recordings right away, so they can start diving in the minute they join...
The dangers of flaky people
I hate dealing with flaky people. They're like "fingernails on a chalkboard" to me. They frustrate me and make me feel like pulling the hair out of my head. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them in the online space. When I started my coaching business back in 2014, I...
The toothless dog
Whenever I'm working with a coach who's fearful of taking action, I like to tell them a story that Les Brown gives in his speeches: Every day a boy passed a house, and without fail a dog there would start barking and chase the kid down the street. After this happened...
Making their blood boil
I recently posted something on Facebook that made someone's "blood boil" (in her words). I didn't look at that as a bad thing. It's good to occasionally stir the pot with your content. I want my stuff to challenge people, make them think, make them laugh, make them...
Donald Trump
Did the subject line make you read this? If so, I'm not surprised. In today's highly-charged political environment, it's hard to ignore politics. Lately, I'm getting asked by online entrepreneurs if I think it's ok to talk about politics publicly when you're in...

How to get new business in just one minute per day
I like trying different things for my business, but when Jeffrey Smith approached me earlier this year about helping me start an Alexa flash briefing, I was hesitant. First off, I didn't know what the heck an Alexa Flash Briefing was. Second, I already had enough on...
See you in November?
Now's the time of year that people are planning which conferences they'll attend in the fall. If you're looking to get out to a good one, I'll be speaking at Danielle Fitzpatrick Clark's "Entrepreneur City Live" which takes place November 1st to the 3rd in Charlotte,...
Naked hermit coaches
I read an article last month about "The Naked Hermit", a man who left civilization to go live by himself on a secluded island for almost 30 years. He wasn't happy with his life in Japan, so he said "screw it". He sailed off to go walk around naked and enjoy nature by...
The fear of selling
I tend to see a lot of coaches making offers on Fridays, since that's the day of the week that we do our "Promotion Friday" thread in my Facebook group. That thread gets hundreds of comments, and I love seeing the activity - it shows that there are coaches who aren't...
