Building a business can be hard, but I've found most of us actually make it harder. I wanted to build a business on MY terms... but before I knew what was happening I started to think that in order to succeed I either needed to give up more, put other things on hold, or just work my face off until I "hit it big." Only all of those things lead me to overwhelm, burnout, and not much success. At least that's what it did for me and lots of business owners I've coached over the last 11 years. So ...

The best way we can lead others is by leading by example. In our programs, we call it Modeling... Which is 1 of the 4 M's of influence that we teach. But it's such an easy thing to overlook. Often times I've tried to control other people's actions with my words, with boundaries, and with ultimatums (oh, and the removing of Xbox privileges for a week) but that never works as well as I want it too. Which is why we made today's video for you. We want to share how leading by example can inspire...

Have you noticed that business IS leadership. I decided that instead of finding the next "hack" "script" or "secret" to selling more of my stuff, it was time for me to learn about leadership. Let me ask you this... How do YOU end up connecting with someone and eventually buy their product/program? Take a second and let me know in the comments, because success leaves clues, and you might very well find out something powerful by reflecting on what gets YOU to take action. For me... Something a...

Have you ever wondered how some leaders inspire you to take massive action, while others make you want to run in the opposite direction? Having studied so many great leaders, and getting the opportunity to lead as a Sergeant in my 20 year LAPD career, as well as coach some incredible leaders in my business, I've been able to discover three universal ways the best leaders inspire people to take massive action. Because if you want massive results for you and your team, it starts by getting other...

Whether you're a coach or not, just thinking about the title of "Master Coach" feels amazing, right? It's a step above a coach, which brings along with it, a certain level of credibility. It requires you to upgrade your skills and confidence though too. So what does it take to MASTER the skill of coaching? We are going to do that by following 3 universal principles today. What most think is they just have to coach a million people and they will get better automatically. There is some truth...

Have you ever thought about becoming a life coach? Maybe people have been telling you that you should... Or you're looking for a way to create a business where you get to help others create massive success in their lives. Regardless, there are some powerful reasons to consider life coaching. Not only is it one of the fastest growing professions in the world, it's a business you can do entirely from home, AND make a huge impact in the world...

Everyone has off days, whether today is one of those days or not, I want to share the unusual strategies I've found to get me through those tough days when you don't feel like showing up. Being a former police officer for 20 years, suffering through an autoimmune disease, creating and running an online life coaching school, and trying to be an intentional parent and spouse, I can't have many "off days" or they quickly turn into off weeks and before I know it I'm back where I first started. Tha...

If you've ever procrastinated, you might be frustrated at yourself and your lack of action.... and beating yourself up about it is not helpful. Neither is labeling yourself as a "procrastinator." You don't always procrastinate, it's just an action you took at that specific moment. But there's one more caveat. Did you know that procrastination is something that you brain is naturally doing to keep you safe? There is NOTHING wrong with you... Now, there are a few ways you can overcome it tho...

Did you know that we sometimes inadvertently plant our own limiting beliefs in others that we coach, in our friends, and especially our kids? We don't do it in on purpose, most of the time we don't even have any idea that we are doing it. But it can do some serious damage when we are the people actually holding others back. If you've ever found yourself talking about your beliefs around time, money, relationships, health... You could be planting weeds in their garden, and I know you want to ...

If you've got an online business, you know content creation is an important part of the process. Posts, videos, podcasts, emails.... They are the staple of our online business. We use content to: - Plant the seeds for what we can do for others - Show others what we stand/believe in - Get people to connect with us on a deeper level - Attract a certain type of person depending on the message we put out ... to just name a few. But what happens when you start to run out of ideas? Or have writers ...

How can you go from an employee to a business owner / entrepreneur in 3 steps? When people ask me this, most of the time it's because they have started a business and aren't seeing as much success as they want. When we unpack that, a lot of times it's because they have been approaching their business as an employee would. Which is why Teresa and I released this video to help you keep it super simple, because complexity is what kills a lot of businesses, especially when you first start out. W...

There were 5 powerful business lessons I learned from my life coach (Josh Coats) that transformed my life AND business. (Actually, much more than that, but I had to boil it down to 5!) These 5 things helped me lose 100 pounds and get into the best shape of my life despite my autoimmune, helped me rise up the ranks of LAPD, helped me retire early by creating a multi 6-figure coaching business, and helped me become a better father and husband. If any of those are on your goal list, you might be...

Yes, clutter can actually be holding you back in your business. It also goes deeper than that though too. We realized this after OCD and ADHD became apparent in our family, which caused us to look for ways to declutter not just our business, but our life. Here are the top 3 ways we've seen clutter hold us back in our business: It can easily get us into overwhelm thinking we need to do it all right now or our world is going to collapse. It can pull our focus away from what's actually importa...

As business owners and leaders, we want to help people solve problems so they can create massive results The problem we run into is when they keep getting in their own way, talking themselves out of it, or allowing outside circumstances to dictate what they do or don't do. That's where coaching trumps everything. One of the most powerful things we can do for them, is use the power of questions to help them reach their own conclusions, thus getting them to buy into THEIR WHY. Not in a way tha...

You might have heard about AI (Artificial Intelligence), specifically ChatGPT, and it might be giving you a sick feeling in your stomach. What happens if this takes over the world and makes my coaching business obsolete??? Hold on now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. You might want to spend some time in the "ecosystem" and you'll quickly find out you're coaching business is not in jeopardy. As a matter of fact, this is actually a great thing for your coaching business if you're someone who'...

If you're a coach, getting your clients to take more action so they can create more results is incredibly important. We all want to help make a bigger impact, and we can't do that if we can't help others with taking action. But what happens when what you're doing isn't working? Your client keeps coming back to you without taking action, and you're starting to doubt your abilities to coach? Or maybe you're starting to get angry because if all they did was follow your directions, they'd be abl...

If you really want to help your clients get results, which will in turn dramatically grow your business, you need to know the difference between coaching and mentoring. Because there are times when you need to coach because it would make a huge impact for your clients... And times when you need to mentor. And when you get the timing wrong, you'll know because your clients won't be getting the results you both want, and sometimes this can lead YOU to being frustrated which is not how we want t...

Thinking you need to sacrifice more to see more success in your business is actually keeping you stuck. I get it, we've all heard from various gurus that you need to hustle our face off, take massive action, and sacrifice sleep and many other things in order to see success. But does everyone who "sacrifices" themselves and their family have success in their business What's going to happen if you keep "sacrificing" those other important areas Overwhelm, Burnout, family disconnection, and heal...

"Money doesn't grow on tress." (Actually my kids always point it that it actually does) "What, do you think I'm made out of money?" How many of you heard these statements while you were growing up. How many of you say them nowadays to YOUR kids? Yea, I've been guilty too. The truth is, your relationship with money will determine how much of it you actually have. Some people even make a TON of it, but still are living paycheck to paycheck! Why is that? They "believe" something about money...

Influence, confidence, decision making, taking ownership, boundaries, rules.... Which ones should you focus on first? What will make the biggest impact? Should you focus on your strengths or your weaknesses? I'm even getting overwhelmed typing this. Lets get some clarity here, so we know where to start. The real question is... What are the TOP leadership skills you re...

I'm sure by now, you must have heard about the power of morning routines. And even though sometimes talking about them makes me cringe, people still ask me all the time behind closed doors what my routine looks like. I get why they want to know that though, if you start off your day in a way that fuels you to get after it, it's so much easier to string weeks, months and even years of progress together. But if you don't, its so easy to talk yourself out of it and not take ownership of your mor...

Constantly thinking you need to take more action is the worst way to make a real impact in your life. Marc, what are you talking about?!?!? I get it, we have been programmed to think that the harder we work the more impact we can make. I mean, when you first get started with anything, simply taking action gets you some initial results. So it's only natural for us to think that if we want MORE results, we have to take MORE action, right? But let me ask you. Does everyone who work hard make a...

If you're wanting to create an EXCEPTIONAL marriage, there is one thing you need to eliminate over everything else. And it's something you don't even know exists. It's the hidden manual you have for your significant other... An instruction guide we have for someone in our lives about how we would like them to behave so we can feel good or be happy Generally we don't tell them about it, and we don't realize we even have them. We also don't see the pain it causes FOR US. We feel that they sh...

The thought that success is up to you, is actually hurting you. I get it. You've been told to "take ownership" and I totally agree with that advice too. But taking it to the Nth degree, to where success is only up to you, is most likely not helping your future. I was having a conversation recently with someone who reminded me that this thought never served me when I used to think it too. Now I'm not saying that everyone is going to feel this same way, but after having thousands of coaching ...
