One of the big things that really struck home was the power of the Mastermind and how your business coach and your friends really do matter. The principle of the Mastermind is where you have a small group of people around you that can help you reach your goal without hurting or denying anyone their freedoms in the process. This...[ Read More ]
Do you know what time it is right now? This week during the all-staff meeting business coach Clay Clark talked to the team about the habits of the successful. One of those habits is that they are aware of the time, at all times. I’m sure you have heard the phrase “time is money”. This is so true. Time is...[ Read More ]
If you grew up like me before I was a business coach, skipping rope for fun served many purposes. It was the best way to get the heart rate up really quick for a workout, compete with friends for bragging rights, or even settle a heated debate. Why would skipping rope be relative to my week? Ill gladly explain. This...[ Read More ]
There is a quote from Dave Ramsey that I as a business coach often think about and that is “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” So what does that mean? If you want to live your life or obtain things outside what the average human does then you have to...[ Read More ]
People do not change, and if they do they do it slowly and begrudgingly. This business coach topic was the main take away from my week here working with Jon and Clay. Now, this might not be a bad thing if you have developed good habits, you have a strong work ethic, and you are willing to be coachable. However,...[ Read More ]
What does it take to be a great business coach or leader? Many would assume this means to have a cold demeanor and a firm back hand of punishment. Others would suggest that a great leader shows compassion in the face of struggle, and offers a helping hand to those in need. And some would even venture to guess that...[ Read More ]
Have you ever encountered someone or a business coach who sucked the life out of you? You know the type of people I am talking about. The kind of people who, when you are in their presence, leave you feeling like death is the best option. These people are always complaining about something or leave a wake of depressed people...[ Read More ]
One thing that I’ve been able to see as a business coach in every single business we have worked with the Thrivetime show, is the fact that they often go from receiving no inbound leads to multiple inbound leads every single week. It was great to see this transition in this growth with new clients whenever they implement the proven...[ Read More ]
In order to achieve success it is imperative to set S.M.A.R.T. goals. This week at the Thrivetime Business Coach Show I listened to an older podcast of Clay’s from the beginning of this year. In this podcast Clay interviewed Steve Currington and talked about Steve’s success. During the interview Clay broke down why setting S.M.A.R.T goals is so critical to...[ Read More ]
Checklists are an important part of a business coach business. The argument could be made that checklists are an essential part of time and financial freedom. The usefulness of a checklist starts with transferring the knowledge of what has to be done from the business owners' cranium to lists that can be used over and over again. After having even...[ Read More ]
Goals or Objectives Drive Everything Ok, I get it, here we go with another business coach post about growing your business and they want to start out talking about goals. Geeze, why do people always bring up the topic of goals? You ask a great question. I'm always curious when was the last time you were at a basketball game...[ Read More ]
When was the last time you stopped and questioned something? It might seem like you did not too long ago especially with all these current events going on. But as a business coach, I’m not saying that you simply stopped and wondered if something was true. I’m saying living life in a paranoid state where you always assume that what...[ Read More ]
Is Your Check Engine Light On? You Should Probably Do Something About That… Picture yourself driving down the highway as a business coach. It’s the same routine that you’re used to executing every single day. All is going according to plan when suddenly you hear a dinging noise. You look down at the dash and see that your check engine...[ Read More ]
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (just kidding it was earth), some caveman invented the wheel. An object that greatly impacted the quality of his life and subsequently the lives of all humans since then. If I were to tell you to spend 80 plus hours a week designing your custom wheel for your industry you...[ Read More ]
Persistence Mixed With Desire What separates business coach people like Clay, Jon, Dr. Z, and the others that have made it, that have become successful, and who knows what they want out of life? Persistence, and not just regular persistence, but persistence over time mixed with a desire. Those who have been able to make money, grow businesses and hit...[ Read More ]
The A-Team is Team Consistency. Team consistency consists of about 3% of the total population. That’s business coach Clay’s theory. Any chance you have of finding an A-Player means you have to interview about 100 people to find three A-Players. That’s not very positive. What’s even worse, and even more eye opening is that even A-Players have B-Player tendencies. Since...[ Read More ]
Typically, we write about things we learn. We cover ways to grow your business as a business coach. We talk about super fun things like sales, action steps to lowering expenses in your business, books, systems and if you’re an avid reader, you probably know all of the lingo here at #ThriveNation. If you’ve been reading the coaching blogs for...[ Read More ]
One of the many blessings of waking up before the Sun as a business coach is FOG, aka condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is low to the surface of Earth in the early morning. Driving through this very thick fog early in the morning and one might find themselves in a mild to major panic. Why, we ask? Is...[ Read More ]
Emotions. Everyone has them. They are crap. Let me explain. Emotions block Motions and motions are required to be successful. Successful people don’t take mental health days. Successful people don’t break down because they feel overwhelmed. Successful people don’t make decisions based upon emotions. They gather the facts and they act. Successful people don’t get offended…..noticing the trend yet? Do...[ Read More ]
On any given morning, if you happen to be awake at 3 am, you can have the joy of knowing that you are not the only person awake in the world, so is business coach Clay Clark. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Clay definitely lives out the...[ Read More ]
At the Thrivetime Show this week I had the incredible opportunity to work in a successful business coach company. Many states are closed and just now beginning to open however the great state is Oklahoma opened up the last week of April. Opening up the Broken Arrow salon meant that after a month and a half of being shut down,...[ Read More ]
Do you often find yourself frustrated with the fact that people do not deliver on their promises? Have you recently asked someone to do something only to have them completely ‘forget” to accomplish the task? Are action items piling up at the office and slowly starting to drive you crazy with the lack of resolution? If you answered yes to...[ Read More ]
What I have noticed this week while managing the business coach team is that people will drift without a manager and that most people will focus on the negative. Actually, from what I have recently seen, people, in general, will always go to the negative side of things. When it comes to mistakes of others, themselves, or when something is...[ Read More ]
Something as a business coach I’ve seen used multiple times this week is the concept of trust but verify. This basically means that once you’ve given someone something to do or when you hear a fact, you can believe it but first you must verify that it is true. This really does apply to all areas of life. With all...[ Read More ]
One thing I’ve learned from business coaching, when working with many entrepreneurs and business owners is that, when it comes to branding, it is many times an afterthought. Yet that’s the opposite of how it should actually be. Maybe that’s why, according to Forbes, 9 out of 10 businesses fail. Branding is the firm foundation of your sales and lead...[ Read More ]
One of the biggest things that really stuck out to me this week in our business coaching meetings was that it is time to decide. Deciding is the biggest thing that holds people back from success. They are either over cautious or they are under cautious when it comes to making a decision. They try to either overthink the decision...[ Read More ]
As I have observed Clay Clark, one thing really stands out with the business coaching clients he coaches. They are bored. Wait! Hold up! What are you talking about? I am serious. You see, when you do the right things day after day to grow your business, it becomes boring. When you do these boring things every day consistently, then...[ Read More ]
During this week, I found myself honing my mindset and movements further into the intentional action-packed path of practicing for a purpose. The all too common phrase “Practice makes perfect” is indeed a universal truth that also brings pain and glory. Need proof? Study the most successful humans and companies on Earth. The ONLY way they achieved their specific levels...[ Read More ]
When someone decides to start a business, it’s typically because they want to stop working for somebody else and start working for themselves. Oftentimes when I find people find themselves working for themselves but it just becomes a high-paying job. Most business owners work themselves into a spot where the business is reliant on them; you don’t have any time...[ Read More ]
When it comes to business coaching business owners, there are so many things that I learned early on when training to be a coach that I constantly have to remind myself of throughout my career. There are so many basic, fundamental aspects of coaching that Clay teaches us early on during the process of shadowing or learning the systems. We...[ Read More ]
