What coaches can learn from their Fitbits
My girlfriend and I each got a Fitbit yesterday. We caved in to the peer pressure after seeing so many people with them, plus we want to get out for a lot of fresh air and exercise now that the nice weather is here. Although I just got it, the Fitbit is already doing...
Driving down the street the other day, I saw …
Someone who's looking for love just bought a billboard on Main Street in my city. I drove by it the other day, and saw that she's looking for someone 42-55 to spend her life with (props to her for having the initiative to go this route). She may have signalled her...
10 hours of paint drying???
One of the most important rules for coaches to remember is: Don't be boring. It's a crowded online marketplace, and people have plenty of options to choose from. If they want to be put to sleep, they'll buy some sleeping pills. Or they can watch the film Paint Drying...
Sharing a childhood dream nets him a coaching client
A couple of days ago, a Facebook coach friend shared this: === "Just got a call from someone who's interested in working with me. She said 'I've been looking online for a coach and came across your website. You say you wanted to be an astronaut, which I thought was...
Your business, your choice
I love getting out to be interviewed on podcasts, and I jump at every opportunity to do it. But for my better half, Julia, it isn't her thing. Ironically, her business is getting her clients booked on podcasts (and she does a great job of it). But she doesn't feel the...
My interview with a sales wizard
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a young, fresh-faced kid launched a podcast for coaches and interviewed a wizard as his first guest. Ok, it was less than three years ago. And it was in Canada. And that "kid" was hardly "fresh-faced". He was 36 then ... But...
Picking up your game
In just a few hours, I'll be leading the first call for the coaches in my new 10 Clients in 90 Days program. I always get excited on the first day of a group program - I'm kind of like a kid on the first day of school! The coaches who are in that group are an...
The cherry on top
Being out there with the podcast and all the other marketing that I'm doing, I get a lot of inquiries from people looking to hire a specific type of coach. I just gave one such client referral to Davide, a subscriber in Secret Coach Club, and so far in May I've given...
A business lesson from a patriotic Canadian
We Canadians are celebrating our nation's 150th birthday this year, and the government decided to do us a favour. (I'm always skeptical when government does that) Back in the winter, it announced that it was giving away free passes to our national parks for 2017 and...
