But don't fear! Today's guest, consultant, auth...

We have been fed a belief system that is no longer working - "Go to school, get a safe job and retire." But this formula creates a lifetime of pain. Most people get trapped into jobs that they hate. Why do most people fall for this trap?  It's mainly because of fear.  But fear comes with a price.   The way out of this trap is to have purpose and not chase after money.   If you have purpose, you no...

And you're about to get them.  Today, TEDx speaker & best-selling author Patrick Veroneau joins us to s...

We're obsessed with great service. Because clients want big results, fast results… and they want you to do all the work, right?  Not quite. As it turns out, "great service" does one thing: it degrades you into a forgettable commodity.

The "traditional" path to success is a one-way track.  Go to school. Get good grades. Get a good job. Climb the ladder.  But following the traditional path stunts your personal growth. It strips your life of all excitement. And at the end of the day, you'll have "success", but hate every second of it.  There's a better way.  Today's guest, inspirational speaker and transformational business execut...

Business coaching is a great way to make money. It's possible to start from scratch, and build a 7-figure income within a couple of years.  But as the saying goes, "easy come easy go". Your coaching business could come crumbling down as quickly as it began.  Because, unless you keep leveling up yourself, your clients will outgrow you and leave with a sour taste in their mouth.  Today's guest, Hall...

In 2016, Wells Fargo team members were caught allegedly charging 771 customers for products they never ordered. The business was forced to cough up a $3 billion fine.  It sounds extreme, but your team could do the same to you. Worst part?  It would be your fault.  The cause? Focusing *too hard* on results.  When you look at results with tunnel vision, you ignore the cause of your results – your te...

And your relationships too.  But the news is not all grim. If you do the inner work, you can experience new profit records in your business, deeper personal relations...

And unlocks a cult-like following that rallies behind your every move.  Today's guest, founder of Level5 Strategy and branding expert, David Kincaid revea...

Any coach who says "just follow the blueprint" is a fraud. Your clients are too diverse, so there's no such thing as one size fits all. That's why so many coaches prefer to ask questions vs giving formulaic advice.  But asking too many questions just wastes your time—and keeps your clients stuck!  Today's guest, executive coach Greg Giulano shows you a faster, easier way to get impressive results...

Stress no more.  Today's guest, executive coach and published author,...

Raise your hand if you've ever hired a coach to help you get more results, money or freedom. Now keep it up if you've ever heard them say "law of attraction", "do what you love and you'll never work a day", or "take my course and trust the process". These phrases sound nice, but over 4 decades of experience suggest this thinking is flushing your chances of success down the toilet.  If you want res...
