Look, I know the term “life coaching” is not exactly rife with manliness. It’s been taken over by some very frou-frou industries, self-help books, and crazy people who want to read your aura.

That’s not what we’re talking about here.

We’re talking about having your personal detective help you figure out every possible angle on the problems that plague you so you can blast them away.

We’re talking about having a mentor, a man who’s been where you are – unhappy with his life – who can show you the way out.

We’re talking about you having someone who can listen to your darkest fears in deep confidence – and who won’t think you’re weak, or effeminate, or put you down.

We’re talking someone who understands, who can help you get what you want and help you learn to laugh at what holds you back.

This isn’t a pity party. Some of the guys I coach are pretty bad-ass. They’re on fire in all kinds of areas of their lives. They just have some things they can’t seem to sort out.

• How to get a better career.
• How to find a woman they actually want to be with.
• How to manage their family.
• How to get over a rough past.

Life coaching isn’t frou-frou therapy sessions. I’m not going to sit there and ask you, “And how do you feel about that?” We’re going to get to the meat of the problem, the thing that’s been making your life less than great for years.

And then we’re going to fix it.

If it helps at all, think about your sports coach from back in high school or college. You were strong and fit and good at your sport – but you had some problems, things that weren’t perfect, things that kept you from being a great player.

Your coach knew what those things were. He knew just what to tell you to do so you could get past them.

That kind of coaching is no different from what I do. This is just another sport – it’s the game of life. Just like your coach used to tell you, it’s no pain, no gain. If you want to get rid of the stuff that’s holding you back, you have to work at it.

I’m here to make sure you get what you want. I’m here to help you win.

What Do I Get From Coaching With You?

Every man is different and has different problems to overcome – some big, some small. That said, here are a couple of common problems that I’ve helped my clients get through:

• Getting out of the mountain of debt you’ve racked up
• Getting your unappreciative boss to quit being a jerk and start providing constructive feedback
• Finding the guts to ask for the raise of $5-10K you know you deserve
• Starting a business in a field that actually interests you
• Losing the 25 pounds you’ve gained that makes you look 10 years older
• Finding a wife or a steady girlfriend instead of having a dissatisfying, drama-filled relationship
• Writing a book or starting to work on a big artistic project
• Figuring out how to make more time for friends and family
• Moving to another country or making some other huge change in the status quo
• Dealing with old issues from your past that are getting in the way of what you want to do NOW

I help you think big without letting go of reality. I make sure you’re ready for this step. And then I push you until you get your butt over the wall in your way. It’s go time.

I keep you accountable for the goals you set. I make sure you pursue the things you really want instead of sitting around for another five years being unhappy and doing nothing to change it.

I help you get rid of your excuses. Trust me, I’ve heard them all:

• I don’t have the education for the career I want
• That wouldn’t look right to my wife/friends/family/barber/that guy I don’t really like but who I suspect has a better life than me
• It’s too risky, it’ll fail
• I don’t have enough time
• I don’t have the skills
• Nothing’s wrong, everything’s okay. Really.

Your friends and family often mean well, but their game is to keep the status quo as it is or get you to change to be what they want, instead of what you want. You have to learn how to take risks so that you can get where you need to be.

How Much Does Coaching Cost?

Two options:

1. A laser session of 75 minutes for $200.

2. A flat retainer of $400 per month for 3 sessions of 45 minutes (or $1,000 for 3 months.)

What`s better?  The retainer. It allows us to build momentum and stay fired up, instead of getting all excited from one conversation and then forgetting about it a week later.  I’ll always be there to light a fire under you each week. I keep you moving forward.

Either way, we find a day and time that works for your schedule.

I coach over the phone, mostly because I don’t want this to be a pain in the ass for you. I want you to be able to get your coaching in and then apply it right away. If you have to fight traffic to get to me, you’re more likely to cancel, be late, or feel stressed about going at all.

Screw that. No excuses. You’ll always have a phone and a quiet place to go to, so I operate under those principles.

How Do I Know If We’re a Good Match?

Fair question. Some coaches work well with certain kinds of players, some players only work well with certain kinds of coaches. Here’s the kind of coach I am, and the kind of people I work with:

If you’re looking for a coach that . . .

• You can trust with the thoughts you’ve never felt comfortable voicing
• Will see past your bullshit, excuses, lies, and other defensive tactics
• Will bust your balls for living at only 50% of what you’re capable of
• Will ask the big questions and pay attention to the answers so he knows where to challenge you next
• Has been there before and wants to see you get the most out of your life just like he did

. . . then you’ve found your guy.

If you’re the sort of man who . . .

• Is willing to work hard, answering questions sincerely and thoughtfully
• Won’t avoid the work to be done by giving one-word answers and prevaricating about the truth
• Doesn’t expect a magic wand to fix all their problems, who knows it’s about their effort
• Is ready to get their balls busted – nothing is off limits, nothing is too hard to face
• Can find the courage to face his fears and get past them

. . . then I want to work with you.

Is Everything We Talk About Confidential?

Absolutely. You’re trusting me with a lot of your darkest thoughts. You never have to worry about me keeping them safe.

How Long Is This Going to Take?

Depends on you. Just like a sports coach, I’m here to help you get to the top of your game. How fast you get there depends on how hard you’re willing to work and how much effort you put in.

If you work hard, you could be ready to go off on your own in less than 6 months. If you’re starting from a lower place and aren’t ready to work as hard, it could take longer. Or you may just want to keep working with me because I keep you motivated – even the pros have coaches.

We’ll both know when you don’t need a coach anymore, and that’s okay.

All Right, I’m Ready to Sack Up. What Do I Do?

Set up a free 20-minute call so we can figure out where you’re at here or just go ahead and buy some coaching here.
