Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (for those of you in the US). Between the food, family, and time to slow down… this time of year always gets me thinking about the people who shaped who I became. A lot of you know this, but growing up without a father wasn’t easy. I was lucky; I had an incredible mom who did everything she could. But not everyone gets that kind of support. That’s why 11 years ago, I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida. That’s how I met Zach. At first, I honestly wasn’t sure if spending an hour or two with him each week was even making a difference. Years later, he wrote me a letter that changed everything. He told me I helped him stay on the right path. That he looked up to me. That I showed him what doing the right thing looked like. And that’s when it really hit me: Sometimes your presence is the thing that changes someone’s life. Now that Giving Tuesday is around the corner, I want to do something meaningful as a community. For every $500 donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters, a new match gets supported. That’s one kid getting the mentor they need. So here’s what I’m offering in exchange: → For every $500 donated, I’ll give you a free 1-hour coaching session. → If you choose to become a Big Brother or Big Sister, I’ll give you 3 hours of coaching. This is my way of giving back, not just to the organization, but to all of you who’ve supported me, trusted me, and built this community with me. My goal is to raise $5,000 to support 10 new matches. We can literally change lives together. If you’d like to take part, whether by donating or by becoming a mentor yourself, here is the link to do it: https://www.cflbigs.org/donate-online

When I first started, I made the same mistake a lot of new coaches make: I took anyone willing to pay, even if it was a small amount. But here’s what I learned after working with hundreds of clients: Clients who invest less often struggle more. Not because they’re bad clients, but because they don’t have enough skin in the game to follow through. Small payments feel less risky, which means it’s easier to delay doing the real work. On the flip side, clients who invest more are more committed. They’ve got more to lose, so they do the work, and they execute consistently. Those are the clients who see results and become success stories. This is the value you get when you work with someone who’s been there, done that, and helped others do the same. I’ve built businesses that go from $10K to $80K per month, and I’m here to help you skip the trial-and-error part. If you’re serious about building a career coaching business that works, join us tonight at 7 PM EST for the final session of our LinkedIn Gold Rush Masterclass. We’ll dive into: - How to build your brand the right way - Creating content that attracts clients - Turning your visibility into consistent, predictable revenue for 2026 If you’ve been looking for actionable insights, don’t miss this last chance. See you tonight, and save your spot here

I’ve been thinking about something lately… It took me YEARS to figure out how to build a profitable coaching business. Years of testing and mistakes. But what took me years… My clients are now doing in a fraction of the time. One client crossed $100K in his first 12 months. That same milestone took me three years. Another client signed her first 3 clients in 12 weeks. It took me almost a year to get that level of traction at that pace. Another replaced their full-time income in under 6 months. I didn’t even know that was possible when I started. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to sell my 401k to pay debt. And none of this is because I found “smarter” people or “lucky” ones. It’s because when you follow a proven path, you skip years of confusion. You skip the trial-and-error, the guesswork, and the mistakes most coaches only learn after burning time, money, and energy. That’s the whole point of mentorship. You’re not just learning what to do, you’re learning what not to do. You get the shortcut because someone else already paid the price. And that’s why we built this community. So you don’t have to take the long road like I did. If you’re here, it’s because you want to grow. And we want to help you do it without wasting years like most coaches do. More wins are coming, and I want you to be one of them. What’s the one thing you wish you could shortcut right now in your coaching business?
