Marc’s Summer Vacation Planning Guide
As a patriotic Canuck, I'm leaving for a camping trip tomorrow to celebrate the Canada Day long weekend ... I'll be heading to Prince Edward Island, home of Anne of Green Gables - if you're into those books - for a few days of roughin' it in a tent. Full disclosure:...
Finding That Silver Lining …
When the "bleep" hits the fan, it's hard to remember that there's a silver lining in pretty much every situation imaginable. For example, take the horrible collapse that the Golden State Warriors just had in the NBA Finals, blowing a three games to one lead against...
Happy Birthday To Me (Special Gift For You Inside!)
I turned 38 today (creeping closer to the big 4-0!) and I wanted to do something special for my subscribers ... If you've been following what I've been up to, you know that I launched my "Your First 5 Clients" program for coaches in late April. A number of coaches...
Selfies and Standing on Hot Coals Don’t Mix
Tony Robbins has been getting some bad press over the last few days, because a few people who did the "fire walk" over hot coals at his recent event in Dallas were injured. A couple dozen participants experienced "hot spots" on their feet, but only 5 of the 7000...
Unbranding Your Coaching Business

Are Facebook Fan Pages Any Good???
I get asked about Facebook fan pages a lot. If I had a dollar every time someone asked me for my opinion on them, well ... I'd be on a beach somewhere dipping my toes in the hot sand with a girly drink in hand (yes, I drink girly drinks sometimes and get teased...
When Communities Die
I recently read that a political party in my neck of the woods has died. R.I.P. Green Party of Nova Scotia (that's in the province next to me in Atlantic Canada.) The outgoing interim leader said that they're closing their doors because they didn't have enough...
Getting Feedback From the Flat-Earthers
Overall, I'm a fan of getting feedback from others. It's good to hear opinions other than your own, and open up your thinking on whatever issue is on your mind. But I've got some issues with feedback ... There's good feedback, and then there's bad feedback! For...
Why I Bought a $495 Journal
I just spent more than I ever thought I'd spend on a journal ... $495. "Almost $500 for a journal, are you crazy Marc?!?" I can just imagine what you're thinking, but hear me out ... Anyone who follows my stuff knows that I'm a big fan of journaling. I've been telling...
Arm Twisting Is For Professional Wrestlers
Back when I was a kid, I used to love watching professional wrestling. WWF (now WWE) was a big deal for my gang. I loved watching Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Andre the Giant, and the other larger-than-life figures. They were like...
