 Today our business coach meeting, Clay talked in great detail and depth about picking your thing and sticking with it until completion.

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.

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.

Something as a business coach I’ve seen used multiple times this week is the concept of trust but verify.

With all[ Read More ]

So often we (even business coaching team members) say that there is a huge list of things to do but not enough time. Our to-do list keeps growing but we never chip away at it. We constantly tell ourselves that we can never find the time because we are too busy putting out burning fires. The real test has come[ Read More ]

If you have spent any time on Google recently, which everyone is including me as a business coach, considering they are forced to stay home and are not able to work, you will often see a little informational logo at the bottom of Google.com.
