Chickens, eggs and hatching
One of my 2017 goals is to get rid of things that I don't use anymore, so I'm doing some pre-spring cleaning. Last week I posted ads on Kijiji (the Canadian equivalent of CraigsList) and then answered emails from potential buyers. Some of my stuff sold, but I had some...
A podcast packed with entrepreneurial goodies
I invited my good friend Dave Barnett onto the podcast today to share his advice from many years in business and from helping a lot of entrepreneurs. In addition to knowing his stuff about business, he's a great guy. Our kids play together, we've gone camping and...
Interview on Resilience Radio
I've gone through ups and downs throughout my entrepreneurial journey, and I shared how I overcame the tough times when I was interviewed by Kim Ades for her podcast. Here's the link to check it out! ->...
How you should handle brain-pickers
I got a message yesterday that read (I'm paraphrasing for time here): "Hi Marc, We haven't met before, but I'll be in town later this month and I would love to get together for coffee?" I had a look at the fellow's profile and he's not a fake spammer or a cold-blooded...
Marc meets The Flintstones
When I first told people about what I'm doing with the Secret Coach Club that I launched yesterday, they thought I was crazy. You see, it's a print newsletter ... Yes, in this age of digital speed, when we can download 100's of PDFs to our desktops in minutes, the...
If I was superstitious, I wouldn’t be doing this today
I'm not a superstitious guy. I'm not freaked out because today is Friday the 13th. I have no problems with black cats, I've walked under ladders and stepped on many cracks (and my mother has never broken her back). If I was superstitious, I wouldn't be doing what I'm...
If you hate spoilers, don’t read this
I got a lot of feedback from the email that I sent out yesterday about "opportunity" and Ray Kroc, the mastermind behind McDonald's growth and the author of Grinding It Out. A lot of people hadn't heard of the book before (it's an oldie, but a goodie,) and they're...
If Ray Kroc were alive today
During a call with a client yesterday, we got talking about how much opportunity is out there nowadays. Like me, my client is an optimist and has tons of plans for what he wants to do with his coaching business in the future. Unfortunately, most people don't have the...
No writing makes Marc go something something
There's a great episode of The Simpsons from back in the day where they spoofed The Shining. The family goes to watch Mr. Burns' summer cottage for him, and Homer goes a little crazy when he doesn't have his usual favourite things at his disposal: TV and beer. Homer...
Let me be Frank with you
I never pass up the chance to use a pun, so my subject line refers to Frank Bria. Call me Captain Obvious, but the Internet is filled with people claiming to be "High-Ticket Sales" experts. Many of them are full of you-know-what and have contributed to the collected...
