One of the biggest lessons I got from my business coach, Carrie, this year was: "If it's important, it gets an appointment."Oon our team calls this week, Andrea brought up the situation where a client comes on a call and they have so many fires to put out, they're absolutely overwhelmed, and 40 minutes into the call you're trying to get them thinking about the future.Their state of mind makes doing annual planning almost impossible.

2024/01/14

Second-order thinking is one of the greatest skills an entrepreneur can developit's the skill of asking "and then what?" and imagining the outcome instead of just hoping for the best or considering the immediate consequence.Unfortunately it's not taught in schools. It doens't occur to most poeple to ask 'and then what?"this is a function a mentor can serve really well, because we're objective. We can ask, 'and then what'? without trying to unconsciously project what we WANT to happen.This means

Many people use the term “Business Coach” and “Business Mentor” interchangeably. However, there are distinct differences.Business coaches help entrepreneurs overcome short-term obstacles in their business. They apply models from their coaching toolkit to the situation to help the entrepreneur work past it. They draw on their own experience in similar situations to offer examples and support.Business coaches are never know-it-all gurus on the mountaintop. The best business coaches are usually subject

08: Contribution Margin and the 4/9 model

Help Best ·

2024/01/01

Every person who works for your company should generate 2.5-3.5x what they're paid. This is called Contribution margin, and it's a basic accounting principle. The 4/9 model is a simplified, actionable rule based on Contribution Margin. Gym owners don't need to understand advanced accounting to benefit - they just use the 4/9 math. Application of that math changes slightly as the gym grows, but the goal is always to set up the gym for the future, without creating barriers to growth down the line.When

2023/12/04

Building and scaling a 1:1 mentorship practice is hard, because:The experience of each individual mentor is limitedCollecting and sharing that experience is a challenge, requiring layers of management, money, data interpretation skills and playing "telephone"This is why most business coaches do 1:many programs. And those programs are more profitable than 1:1, by a huge margin.However, we do 1:1 because it *can* get the client better results. When done right, the client gets to their goal faster

This is meta mentors, strategies, tactics and skills to help other entrepreneurs in about five minutes. Today, I want to talk about clarity. Clarity is often the best gift that you can give to somebody. And it's especially valuable because very few people are willing to do it. The reason that people are unwilling to be clear with their employees, with their mentees with their friends with their spouse, is because it's painful for the doer, the giver, the mentor, the employer. Here's why it's so
