How David Ralph hacked iTunes
I had one of my favourite coaches and podcasters on the show today: David Ralph. I've known David for a few years now, and I've been impressed with how he got his show (Join Up Dots) to the top of the iTunes charts and built a successful business without losing any...
If you want to double your coaching fees, read on …
I recently helped Manon Paquette, a coach in Montreal, double her fees. She sent me this after going through my 10 Clients In 90 Days group program: ===== "Thanks to Marc, I have doubled my rates, I am present on social media and at ease to express myself. My quality...
Why do footballs slip out of quarterbacks’ hands?
Back in the early days of my coaching business, I joined a group program. I entered with high hopes. It sounded great, and I was even willing to stay up late for the calls since they went until past midnight for me. Like a kid heading off to the first day of school, I...

While I was being interviewed last night, I was asked by the podcast host to give my #1 piece of advice for aspiring coaches. That's always a tough question to answer, because I think there's lots of advice to give, but I told him this: Ready. Fire. Aim. You can't be...
Is your life on fire?
I've heard the name Nick Unsworth a lot over the last few years. He's the guy behind the "Life on Fire" movement, and after hearing his name so often I finally invited him to be a guest on the podcast. Have a listen to the new interview with Nick which just came out...
How to deal with fee hagglers
I'm reading an excellent book now called Confessions of an Advertising Man by David Ogilvy. (Ogilvy is rumoured to be the inspiration for Don Draper and the show Mad Men) It was written back in 1963, and although the book is aimed towards people in the advertising...
