My weird trick for naming anything
A few years back, one of my clients was having trouble choosing a name for her coaching business. She wanted something that stood out, that got people's attention, and gave her butterflies in her stomach when she looked at it. I'm not knocking any of that. Naming...
Email marketing is NOT dead
Every once in awhile someone will pop his head out of the ground and declare that email marketing is dead. I get a chuckle over this. It's like the people who proclaim the death of Facebook groups, or podcasting, or anything else that's working for a lot of people....
Size doesn’t matter
I had someone message me yesterday with a question about my upcoming live training ("How I Doubled My Business With Daily Emails!") on Monday. She wanted to know if she was wasting her time by going since she doesn't have a big list (around 150 subscribers). I can...
Three myths around daily emails
Whenever I try to convince someone to email their list daily, I'm met with one of three objections: - "Email is dead!" (no, it's not) - "I'll run out of things to write about!" (not at all) - "People will unsubscribe!" (some will, but you'll be better off for it) Once...
No measly man cold can stop my emails!
Wow - after yesterday's email (where I mentioned the nasty man cold that I've been fighting for the last few days), I got a number of messages back with well-wishes, suggested remedies, and even offers to send positive energy my way. I have the best subscribers 🙂 But...

Originality vs Conformity
There's not much originality out there nowadays. Look at Hollywood ... Most of the movies coming out today are remakes, reboots, or sequels. - Ghostbusters. - Baywatch. - Independence Day. - Spider-Man. And on and on. How often do you see a completely original film?...
How’s this for a wall, President Trump?
I posted this in The Coaching Jungle Facebook group last night, and wanted to share since I suspect that you may be struggling from "priority overload": ========== I'm working hard in 2017 to stay focused on just a few priorities. In the past, I could have had upwards...
A tip to get interviewed on 48 more podcasts this year
One of the perks to having a partner who books podcast interviews for a living is the ability to get the inside scoop on things. I often ask my girlfriend Julia: "What are podcast hosts looking for nowadays?" Since I love my email subscribers, I decided to share with...
If Ant-Man were a coach, this is what he’d do
I took the little guy to see The Lego Batman Movie last night (great movie). I won't ruin the film, but Batman has to learn to open up and start working with others as a team to save Gotham City, instead of trying to go-it-alone as usual. That's an important lesson...
