Encouraging the Encouragers

I was just a guest on the AAP with Travis and Jess .  (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aap-with-travis-and-jesse/id1523552524?i=1000584767050) They had me come on and we had an absolute blast!  If you're not familiar with their show... you need to check it out.  It's a great show and they have rocketed to the top 0.5% of all podcasts because of their heart, wisdom, humor and u...

I shared this strategy with one of my coaching clients who's a busy mom, a medical professional AND she's building a growing coaching and speaking business on the side!  She confessed she was feeling a sense of low-energy and low-confidence.... but at the same time... she wanted to bring her best to her clients and to the world.  So we did THIS two-minute exercise and it brought a sense...

Hey Encourager... here's a BONUS episode.  It's a thought for the day that I put out on social this morning... and I thought you might need it too! It's a reminder to SHINE.  Don't play small.  Don't shrink.  Don't hide who you are. Be bold. Be big. Be you! It might mean that you need to let go of something someone said to you.   But Encourager... as you do that... you'll...

Okay... I JUST had a conversation with a new Success Coach who's in our life coach training and certification program. He was soooooooo excited to coach and encourage people... but he was freaking out a little (no... a lot) about his "Ideal Client."  He'd been told that he absolutely needs to get clear on his ideal client before he should start to promote his coaching practice... but he was f...

As I was walking my pup Hiro this morning... I was reminded of a particular moment in my speaking career.   In full transparency... it was at a low-point in my journey. I'd had some set backs... and things were tough.  I'd been asked to open a conference but I felt like a fraud (you'll hear why).  I wanted to speak... but at the same time... I didn't know if I could pull it off. I d...

Wow gang!  I recently had Robert Rouwenhorst, PhD present to my mastermind for coaches and speakers.  Rob is a long-time friend. He's a brilliant researcher and successful professor at the University of Iowa.  His first academic/research love was business... and specifically... understanding consumer's choices and loyalty.  But recently... he's developed a second love.  So...

Hi. I'm Mitch Matthews... and I'm a Recovering Perfectionist. It's true.  I've had to choose to overcome my perfectionist tendencies in order to build a coaching and speaking business I love and to help the people I feel called to encourage. Plus, as I've been able to walk alongside so many other life coaches and speakers as they're building their own businesses... we've needed to identify an...

Episode 002 is recorded from my truck so the sound is a little rough!  BUT... we dig into some key stuff and some fun stories... so I hope you find it's worth it! :) In this episode... we explore some of the various roads you can take to become a "Well-Paid Encourager."  For me... it started as an "On-the-Side" Coach.  We were living the S.I.T.C.O.M. life... (single income, two chil...

From a “bad-fit” job to being a “Well-Paid Encourager.” Mitch Matthews went from being a frustrated pharmaceuticals sales rep to having a top-rated podcast and selling seven figures in life coaching and motivational speaking. If you’re a mentor, coach, speaker or content creator AND you have a heart for encouraging others to live their best life and walk out their God-given potential… first off......
