Feeling Stuck? You’re Not Alone Amigo! Have you ever woken up one morning and asked yourself, “What’s the point of doing anything?” If you have I’m here as a business coach to tell you that’s entirely normal and that you are in no way a freak of nature.

Establishing core values and sticking to them Oftentimes when working with a business owner we’ll encounter a situation where they feel like either they or their staff are slowly drifting out of alignment. More often than not this cognitive dissonance is brought on by a lack of defined and consistent company core values. After all, it’s easy to focus on[ Read More ]

This business coach life is short and unfortunately for us, it’s actively ending one second at a time. So why waste time chasing the dreams of others or trying to achieve anything other than what is important to you? It’s far too easy to get distracted by what doesn’t matter or to dwell on the things that we simply do[ Read More ]

Potential is defined as having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future. When most people visualize potential they see an aspiring athlete that is destined to break records, an up and coming business coach or entrepreneur that has the drive to become a legendary business mogul, or a musical artist that will someday master[ Read More ]

Every single day that I wake up I have one business coaching goal in mind: Live today as if it were your last and be true to the ridiculous human being that you are.

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. We feel like the textbook definition of the man or woman. Borderline invincible as most people go. But what happens when that's not enough? Confidence can be a rather blinding experience. Riding the[ Read More ]

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.

I’ve certainly learned a lifetime’s worth of memorable quotes from my time working with Clay as a business coach. Some of my favorites consist of, “Don’t let people pee in your pool”, “It is your duty to please the booty”, “Put a perm on that frog”, “You’re going to be dead soon”, and countless others. But one that has absolutely[ 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 ]

Is Your Check Engine Light On? You Should Probably Do Something About That…  Picture yourself driving down the highway as a business coach.

Have you ever met that one business owner that always seems to be starting a new business?

Have you noticed the guy[ Read More ]

Rejection is something that all of us try to avoid.

A Business Coach Thoughts on Value Your Values The always epic Jocko Willink once said, “Your values and your goals should always be aligned. They should not be adversarial. They should not be counterintuitive. If you’re setting up goals that are contrary to your values then you’re going to have issues”.  I mean, if that right there doesn’t qualify as[ Read More ]

“The hardest part for most of us was learning how to embrace the suck”   My older brother was an infantryman in the United States Army before I was a business coach.

Possibilities seemed endless as new tech companies unveiled their version of the next generation, game-changer[ Read More ]

If you’ve read the title of this blog and find yourself wondering if I’ve abandoned my previous emphasis on setting goals to achieve a greater life please allow me to explain my business coach logic here.    While goals are necessary for structure and motivation, a goal simply is not enough.

I’ve had the pleasure and the privilege of working with a multitude of business coach clients that own businesses across a vast and differing network of industries. Everything from chiropractors, to contractors, and even makers of socks. But what is one thing that all businesses have in common? No matter the product or service that they offer, each will have[ Read More ]

In the world of business, I have learned that there are in fact two types of business owners, the successful, and unsuccessful.

My Boss and business coach mentor Jonathan is known for having two iconic phrases, “You’ve gotta want it” as well as “You Just Weren’t Pissed Enough”. At first, I didn’t really know exactly what he meant by either of these. He’d often say each of these in response to me falling short in pursuit of completing a task or goal.[ Read More ]

If there is one thing that I’ve learned this week it is that I am annoyingly positive as a business coach.

Jocko VS Clay I’ve been doing two things recently to stay educated and motivated, re-reading chapters of Clay’s Start Here business conference book and listening to far too many Jocko Willink podcasts. Now, most people would say this is counter-intuitive as Jocko is almost one hundred percent, pure motivational speaker, whereas Clay is completely part of Camp “Shut the hell[ Read More ]

Welcome Back, Beasley!  They said it couldn’t be done. They said nobody could ever escape from the dungeon that dwells under the man cave.
