A new business coaching concept that was introduced to me is that sometimes it is better to have an employee look for another job while the relationship is still good.

This week at the best business coach program (Thrive) one of the main takeaway points is that no one wants to actually do action.

I dedicate this best business coach blog post to my muse for giving me the inspiration to make thoughts a tangible example. We’ve all been there before.

Riding the...[ Read More ]

Fear is something that each of us, even the best business coach deals with in similar ways.

This week we talked a lot about being all in and whatever you're doing. Specifically, with the way our coaching program works, we are only able to withhold 160 clients at all times.

It’s time to address the proverbial business coach elephant in the room… When it comes to truly be a successful business it really only breaks down to TWO simple facts.

As a business coach, I recently found out that it is crucial to leverage your strengths to overcome the weaknesses in your “game.” I define one's “game” as the methods of doing things, the attitude expressed when everyone is looking, and the character when no one is. I find it imperative to periodically audit these attributes with the people you...[ Read More ]
Have you noticed how our society has moved from a discipline-based society, with morals built on the Word of God (The Bible) to a self-centered society based upon an individual's feelings?
