I have written every day for the past 17 years. If you like to read, I've got your back - and I promise to challenge your thinking.

You do the work for free. You get paid to be afraid.

If you want a great body you need to work out more and eat healthier food. There’s no way around it.

You’ve got to put in the work. You’ve got to put in the time. You’ve got to sweat. No fitness gadget or fad diet can do the work for you.

If you want powerful clients you need to serve people so powerfully they never forget your conversation for the rest of their life.
If you want powerful clients you need to focus on process goals, not outcome goals.
If you want powerful clients you need to collect NOs – because YES lives in the land of NO.

Spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars learning the latest tricks to sell “high-ticket coaching” can’t do it for you.

Look, if you love learning how to utilize SEO, how to tweak Google AdWords and how to experiment with social media ads – then have at it. But beware the tips and tricks for getting clients fast…

Just this morning the ads in my Facebook feed promised me:

“Click the link to immediately get 938 new sales in the next 60 days… A copy and paste webinar that converts, for just $7… Hire our proven million dollar sales pros… Create a mini-course that sells for you… Create a profitable app to generate passive income… Get 40+ leads every month for free… Book 50+ calls from one LinkedIn post…”

And possibly the scammiest ad I’ve yet seen promises, “If you offer high-ticket coaching, we can fund 100% of your clients. Zero Credit. Bad Credit. Zero Credit Cards. No Problem…”

When we published The Prosperous Coach in 2013, we said something radical:

Stop selling the concept of coaching and sell the experience of coaching.

Almost ten years later, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

If you want to enroll high-performing, high-fee clients, there’s one inescapable fact: Powerful clients are created in powerful conversations.

It’s not easy. And it can be scary.

But you can do hard. And you get paid to be afraid.

Great Leaders are Great Coaches
