Help Best

In today’s podcast, I’ll walk you through the concept of Behavioral Coaching and how it can help your clients achieve their goals by breaking down big tasks into small, actionable behaviors. Instead of focusing solely on the end goal, Behavioral Coaching helps clients focus on the how —the specific daily actions that will get them where they want to go. Behavioral Coaching is all about identifying...

Coach in residence What do the best teams in the world have in common? They don’t play to the level of hte opposition. They play to the level of the ideal. Our ideal state is to get every client to their NOB goal. Nobody else in the coaching business even tracks results, let alone optimizing everything they do to get clients better results. We could probably get away with just selling advice and m...

In today’s quickcast, I address a critical issue that’s leading to burnout among our mentor team—constant communication with clients.

Quickcast: Coaching vs Mentorship In this quickcast, I’ll explain the difference between coaching and mentorship, and why it matters for our approach as mentors. **Coaching** is about helping people execute a model or strategy with precision and skill. Coaches focus on **tactics**, removing roadblocks and obstacles, and ensuring the client is doing the right thing at the right time. A good coach c...

In this episode of Help Best , I talk about learned helplessness—how it develops in mentorship relationships and how we can prevent it. When clients become overly dependent on their mentors for every step, they stop progressing independently. Our job as mentors isn't to do the work for them; it's to guide them in adopting the Simple Six model, helping them overcome internal barriers, and empowerin...

Summary: In this episode, I explain how the Two-Brain Avatar chart helps mentors identify and overcome behaviors that slow or accelerate a client's progress toward their Net Owner Benefit (NOB) goal. While the curriculum itself works for everyone given enough time, the timeline depends on how quickly a client does the work. I break down the key avatars—like the Eager, Buddy, and Cynic—and explain...

The Simple Six is the Two-Brain Business mentorship operating system.

The first coaching business I ever owned was called FOCUS. The tshirts said, “The continued evolution of the species”. Evolution never ends. The human body - and the species - is constantly adapting to changes in our environment, our lifestyle and the demands we make of it..  Unfortunately, in many areas of the world, the species is actually devolving. We’re living longer, but we’re less heal...

Show Notes: "What Does the Client Have to Lose?" When it comes to motivating gym owners, we often focus on what they stand to gain by doing the work. We paint the picture of a thriving gym, loyal staff, and financial freedom—but sometimes, that vision isn’t enough to get them moving. Here’s the truth: humans are wired to fear loss more than they hope for gain. In this episode, we’re flipping the s...

In this episode, we tackle a common challenge for mentors: navigating conversations when clients bring up personal struggles that take the focus off their business. You'll learn how to acknowledge their feelings empathetically, pivot the conversation back to actionable business strategies, and use simple phrases to refocus on what you can control. By staying in your role as a business mentor, you’...

Hey everyone, welcome to this quick cast. Today I want to talk about something that's not often said out loud, but I think it's very powerful when we are on our mentee calls and our goal is to deliver results, and that is that as business mentors, our role is not to be liked, is to help our clients get results, and that sometimes means having tough, honest conversations, just like in our business,...

Today's Help Best episode is from James Engesser. He really gets the principle of Golden Hour: every day, do one thing to grow your business. Some of those things are marketing reps that are repeated daily. And some are Projects, that get worked on until they're done - even if they take multiple days. In this Quickcast, James shares how he assigns Projects based on the Eisenhower matrix. To watch...

WHAT QUALIFIES AS A ‘GOOD’ GOAL FOR NOB? 1. It’s achievable in about 2 years from today 2. It’s challenging enough to require hard work and focus (it won’t just happen on its own) 3. It will make a meaningful difference in the life of their family (at least 25% improvement, or from losing money to making money, etc.) 4. It’s approved in advance. If the mentor does not get the goal approved in adva...
