Lessons & Ideas

One concept I like to think about and how it applies to my life both personally and professionally is “legalism”. I define legalism as “doing the rule, but missing the point”. Rules are great guide rails to many things both personally and professionally. But every rule needs context. And with context, you can break rules where they need to be broken. I explain this in detail in today’s podcast right here. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts on this.

We just got off an awesome interview with a client of ours who’s leveraging Fiverr to get tons of high - paying ($5k+) coaching clients. His strategy is actually really interesting. Tanner is one of my favorite clients, and I LOVE the unconventional strategy he’s using 🙂

Today I’m taking you inside of one of my coaching calls. On the call, I’m walking through scaling a specific marketing channel with our client. It’s a super meaty and tactical conversation that I think you’ll get a lot out of.

One of my favorite leadership quotes is “confident people perform well”. In my experience as a company leader, this always holds true. So today I want to share with you three ways that you can create unshakable confidence in someone so that they perform at their peak.

Within our company, all of our coaches follow what we call “The Coaches Code” - it’s essentially the guide we follow for coaching our clients - especially with regards to difficult situations. Coaching Code #2 is “process the emotion before the logistic”. I recently did a training with our coaches on exactly how we do this. It’s super important for us, and if you’re a coach, I think you’ll find this useful as well.

This week I did a training with our coaches on “how do you win as a coach”? If you’re a coach, run a coaching company, and/or are trying to scale your coaching business, I think this could be super helpful. This is a distillation of 10 years of figuring out how to scale 1:1 coaching.

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite hiring moves. It’s super easy when someone new gets hired to have a super slow onboarding period. But we’ve totally tried to flip this on its head. Today on the podcast, I break down our strategy and share a specific strategy with someone we just hired. Hope this helps!

I find a lot of comfort and guidance in my religion. Now I fully get each and every person has an individual relationship with God, but I frequently find a lot of inspiration in scripture. And the beauty of scripture is that you don’t need to even be religious to be inspired by the words. Today I want to share with you a particular passage that inspired me. One that reassured me that I am doing the right thing, and that I am indeed on the right path. Have a listen right here I hope this inspires you today and settles your heart.

What are your daily / weekly habits? It seems like every big entrepreneur has their set of habits that they claim make them successful. Today, I want to share with you 3 habits that are critical not for my business, but for my life. I find that when my life outside of business is balanced, then work is actually easy. Have a listen and let me know what you think. Maybe you can borrow some of these.

When you receive interesting feedback/advice from a trusted source, how do you react? Over the years, I’ve learned that the way I react is critical to whether or not I grow from that feedback. I go over my strategy for this in today’s podcast Hope this helps!

We all have to start somewhere. There used to be a Bryan who had never made a dollar as a coach or consultant…never sold a thing online…and was far less capable than you are right at this very moment at building a coaching business. Yet somehow I managed to build an 8-figure business. Today on the podcast, I want to share with you the story of where it all started for me. Have a listen and reply back to this email and let me know where you are RIGHT NOW in your business. Undoubtedly you’re further along than I was :)

I love taking lessons from stories, leaders, and history, and seeing how I can apply them to my life. Recently I was reading through the Book of Samuel, specifically the story of David. And one of the most interesting takeaways for me is that there is a critical action that David took which led to his defeating Goliath, which Adam didn’t do, and led to his failure. Today I talk about the critical lesson you can take away from these two stories and apply to your life. Hope this resonates with you, Bryan

One of my favorite leadership quotes is “attitude reflects leadership”. I’ve noticed this is nearly ALWAYS true when I’m working with coaching clients - the attitude of the team is aligned with the attitude of the leader. And while it may be easy to notice in others, the tough exercise is noticing it in myself. What is my attitude? How is it transferring to my team? In today’s podcast, I dive into this both in general and specifically to what I’m observing with my attitude and how it may be affecting my team. After you listen, think about your own attitude. Where is it transferring to others (both positively and negatively)?

After 10 years of 1:1 coaching, one of my biggest “aha’s” happened about a month ago. And it has everything to do with the way in which you coach. I think this mindset helps me be a great coach. And the opposite mindset actually hurts a lot of coaches because they coach from a posture that actually isn’t as good for the client (but on the surface it “feels” good for the coach). Have a listen to today’s podcast which could totally change your approach to coaching.

What is your personal definition of “financial freedom”? Interestingly it tends to be different for each person. But the reality is that what most of think it takes to be “financially free” may not actually be true freedom. In today’s podcast I share some thoughts on true financial freedom Have a listen and let me know what you think financial freedom really is. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Yes it’s true. If you have a coaching or consulting business, you can indeed scale it to 8-figures in just 4-steps. However, these aren’t easy steps. And they take time and effort. But if you’re methodical, and complete each step precisely and with intention, it’s almost impossible to fail. I break down the 4-steps in today’s podcast episode. What step are you on right now? Email me back and let me know. Depending on where you are, I may have a free resource to help you.

One thing I recently noticed a lot of people doing (including myself) is that when we see someone do or achieve something great, we immediately elevate that person’s status in our mind. But that frequently sets us up for failure. Why? Because that act of success is typically a result of a focused set of actions…yet we tend to elevate ALL actions of the individual and try to model those - even ones that have nothing to do with their success. In this way, we make people “heroes” who really should be heroes. I go into depth about a better way to think about this in today’s podcast episode.
