The silver lining of building a business on a shoestring budget
When I started my coaching business, I had to do it on a shoestring (or dental floss) budget. It was a few years after a business closure and I didn't have the money to hire expensive web designers, copywriters, funnel ninjas … And I definitely didn't have money for...
You’re not a dinosaur if you don’t want to be a dancing monkey on social media
TikTok has been a hot topic over the past few weeks … Meh, I never got into the platform so I don't care what happens to it. I downloaded it to check it out, created a few pieces of content, and then left. My target market isn't on there, or if they are using it it's...
If sending a bunch of cold DMs to strangers make you want to vomit, do this instead …

New year, new me?
Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favourite actors. Can you think of anyone who’d make a better Tony Stark/Iron Man? A few weeks ago the calendar changed over to the new year, and that got me thinking about a funny meme that gets shared around late every year that has...
This is Kryptonite for coaches
If there's one thing that will kill your coaching business, it's neediness. it's like Kryptonite to Superman, or cutting Samson's hair. As a past guest on my podcast, Rich Litvin, likes to say: "Needy is creepy" A lot of coaches remind me of Jim Carrey’s character...
An $18,000 joint venture campaign!
Over the years I've helped some great joint venture partners, like AJ Rivera … and this is what AJ had to say about our JV campaign: “Marc and I had circled each other on social media and had been acquainted for a while. When the opportunity to partner with Marc...
