In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into powerful mindsets, flywheel business models, and unconventional strategies for signing and retaining high-end coaching clients. With Road Dog absent, Karl answers key audience questions and shares proven tactics from his own journey building a multimillion-dollar coaching company. Expect candid insights on how to think like billionaire founders, radically improve event conversions, leverage networks, and help clients start simple, profitable businesses that resist disruption—even in the age of AI. Key Topics Covered Thinking Like Billionaire Founders Karl explores how leaders like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Jeff Bezos structure their approach to business with an urgent, "always 30 days from going out of business" mindset. He discusses the concept of moving fast, staying ferocious, and viewing every opportunity as a potential river to divert, rather than dam. Flywheel Business Models Karl breaks down why thinking in circles and building business flywheels is crucial. He maps out the flywheel for running live events as a coach: events → attendees → authority → conversions → referrals → (back to) events. The secret isn't just in hosting events—it's filling them, and leveraging every attendee for ongoing referrals and networking. Networking for High-End Clients The episode highlights how to "level up" networking by moving from BNI groups to chambers of commerce, golf clubs, yacht clubs, and exclusive industry organizations. Knowing where your ideal clients spend their time is key. Creation vs. Elevation in Coaching Karl shares why helping ordinary people start simple, franchisable businesses (rather than just elevating existing owners) yields massive rewards. He explains how to choose business types resistant to major competitors and even AI disruption. Buying Ideal Clients If starting over, Karl would buy ideal clients by offering irresistible deals, knowing that repeat business drives profit. He recommends a scaled pricing approach for new clients and gives examples ranging from free first-time services to $0.01 Big Mac campaigns that explode customer acquisition. Lifestyle Flywheel and Planning He discusses the flywheel for lifestyle and success: thoughts → actions → behaviors → lifestyle. Emphasizing that planning and foundational habits—like reading and continuous learning—drive outsized business results. The Power of Learning over Knowing Karl makes the case that continual learning, voracious reading, and careful book selection lead to compounding insights, better instincts, and faster business growth—far more than just the facts you can recite. Notable Quotes "We're always 30 days from going out of business." (Jensen Huang via Karl Bryan) "You don't want to collect stamps—you want to collect crowds." "Funny equals money. You don't have to be a stand-up comedian, just authentically yourself and get a little bit better each time." "You've got to train in private to perform in public. That's Tom Brady 101." "It's more important to learn than to know. Learning is the discipline that reshapes the patterns of your thinking." Actionable Takeaways Think in Flywheels, Not Straight Lines: Map out every client acquisition strategy as a repeatable cycle for compounding results—especially with events. Level Up Your Networking: Graduating from standard business groups to industry clubs and networks where your target clients really spend time boosts your odds of finding high-end prospects. Buy Ideal Clients: Don't be afraid to make offers that lose money up front if you have confidence in your recurring model and results. Scaled pricing creates authority and long-term wins. Serve before You Sell: Lead with value—whether through events, free problem-solving calls, or helpful resources. Authority and referrals flow from helping first. Help Clients Start Simple Businesses: Guide ordinary people to launch "franchisable" businesses they can master quickly—and which large competitors or AI are unlikely to disrupt. Keep Learning and Reading: Choose biographies and "letters to shareholders" from the greats. Focus on reshaping your thinking, not just memorizing facts.

S5:E28 If “AI” still feels like magic tricks and missed ROI, this episode will flip the switch. Dr. LL sat down with Jim Weldon (Founder/CEO, Prospect.ai) (one of the sharpest systems thinkers she has ever interviewed) to map a practical path to cash with agentic AI. Here's what you'll walk away with: ✴️A meta-model you can explain to your team in 60 seconds so everyone finally understands where AI value lives. ✴️A 2-week innovation cadence you can copy-paste into your org and no enterprise budget required. ✴️The lane strategy for seasoned operators vs. young ideators so you stop competing in the wrong game and start compounding wins. ✴️The unsexy USP that beats competitors: nail the basics (speed, follow-up, clarity, billing, referrals). ✴️How to become a utility in your market (the “water & power” behind others' growth) instead of an easily replaced vendor. If you lead a small or midsize business and want results in the next 30 days, not theory, then this is the episode. 0:53 — Superpower: synthesis over “speeds & feeds.” Jim explains how to ignore noise and frame problems so solutions map to real market opportunities. 3:15 — The Meta-Model for AI. A memorable analogy for LLMs (answers), agentic flows (task chains), and enterprise-grade platforms plus where value will concentrate next. 10:45 — Beat “aging out”: redefine your lane. Mindset + role clarity: younger teams dominate ideation; experienced operators win in innovation, beta, and scale where cash is created. 11:58 — Two-week innovation cadence. Jim's playbook: 48-hour prototype only after value is proven. Use no-code + agents to compress cycles. 34:16 — The most overlooked USP: do the basics flawlessly.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions for business coaches gearing up for a successful season. Karl dissects business valuation multiples with practical examples, shares the best advice he's ever received (hint: mindset is everything), explains the flywheel concept in coaching, shows how people are more predictable than they think, and delivers a high-energy pep talk to relight the fire in any coach who's ready to level up. The show wraps with actionable strategies for focus and productivity—and plenty of classic Karlisms along the way. Key Topics Covered Understanding Business Valuation Multiples Karl reviews questions sparked by a previous discussion on laundromat valuations, clarifying why multiples change based on business size, predictability, scalability, and industry differences. He breaks down why scalability drives higher multiples, and emphasizes that growth and scale aren't the same. Mindset and “Emotional Home” Karl shares the most pivotal advice he's received: “You are what you think about.” He discusses the power of your self-talk (“I am…” statements), the importance of knowing your “emotional home,” and the compounding impact of clear, defined goals, using Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady as examples. The Flywheel and Clock Model To help listeners grasp the importance of momentum in business, Karl explains the flywheel (or “clock”) framework. He details how to apply it to money, lifestyle, procrastination, and business growth, demonstrating how well-structured systems compound positive results and how negative cycles (like procrastination) can spiral. Human Predictability and Coaching Shortcuts Karl illustrates just how predictable people are, sharing audience-tested mental tricks and the four main business owner challenges—sales, marketing, systems, and staff. He advises coaches to prepare solutions for these core areas to instantly build credibility and handle any business owner's problem. Pep Talk for Coaches: The 3 Core Beliefs With summer ending and the busy season beginning, Karl pushes coaches to ground themselves in three beliefs: the opportunity is there, you're the right person to seize it, and it will be worth it. He lays out the “3031 framework” (30 minutes a day for 30 days on one problem) to create momentum and encourages coaches to take consistent, focused action. Solving vs. Dissolving Problems Karl wraps by challenging listeners to ask if they're focusing on the right problems, and to “think on paper.” He urges coaches to step away from endless optimization and instead focus on proven, direct paths to landing clients and getting results. Notable Quotes “You are what you think about. Your thoughts control a lot. What you say after 'I am' matters.” “Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes. The business owner doesn't need another ad. What they need is a proper business model.” "People are predictable. If you put a business owner on the phone and ask for their biggest problem, it's almost always sales, marketing, systems, or staff.” “You have two people to impress: your nine-year-old self and your 90-year-old self.” “The secret is there is no secret. It's all just bloody hard work.” Actionable Takeaways Clarify Your Goal: Set a clear, specific target (like one live event per week with 10 decision-makers in the room). Big goals make daily actions obvious. Apply the Flywheel Framework: Think in loops and compounding progress—not just linear steps. Remember, positive cycles expand, and negative ones (procrastination, guilt) contract. Use the “3031 Framework”: Solve your #1 challenge by dedicating the first 30 minutes of every day for 30 days straight to it. Momentum beats motivation. Prepare Solutions: Be ready to address business owners' predictable issues: sales, marketing, systems, and staff. Have resources and frameworks in your back pocket. Think on Paper: Regularly map out your plans, strategies, and challenges using pen and paper (or digital notes). Don't try to solve complex problems in your head. Focus on Service and Real Results: Resist optimizing broken strategies. Direct outreach and targeted offers (not mass ads) are your fastest path to landing high-end coaching clients.

On episode 295 of Business Coaching Secrets with Karl Bryan, Karl explores flywheels, business models, and more! If you're focused on building a thriving coaching business (and who isn't, right?), this episode is packed with wisdom you can put to work immediately. Here are my top 3 takeaways you don't want to miss: Stop “Winging It”—Embrace Modeling Over Trial & Error: Trial and error may sound entrepreneurial, but Karl makes a strong case that it's an expensive and inefficient approach. Instead, seek out proven models. Reverse engineer what works for the most successful companies or coaches, install those systems, and THEN fine-tune for your style. Upgrade Your Coaching Level—Become an Installer: Karl identifies three tiers of coaches: Hiders (those playing it safe), Wingers (those improvising), and Installers (those using proven, duplicatable systems). The real secret? Make it your mission to become an Installer. These are the coaches who retain clients for the long haul because they offer predictable, results-focused processes. Think in Flywheels for Real Growth: Instead of chasing one-off wins, visualize your business as a flywheel—a model where each win builds momentum for the next. From acquiring leads to converting revenue to scaling profits, when you focus on systems that create compounding results, your growth accelerates sustainably. If you haven't tuned in yet, highly recommend checking it out for a full dose of actionable strategies and motivation to kickstart your week! Ready to elevate your coaching business? Don't wait!

Today's podcast features a series of interviews I conducted with HubSpot executives when I attended HubSpot's recent GROW Europe 2024 event at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. First up is Daphne Costa Lopes, Global Director of Customer Success at HubSpot, who I talk to about why the marketing funnel is broken, why we should be thinking about a flywheel instead and having a dedicated space in their CRM platform for customer success professionals and leaders. Following that chat, I spoke to Crevan O'Malley, VP Corporate Sales, EMEA, at HubSpot, about what stood out for him from the panel that he moderated, how human messaging will be the thing that helps scaling brands cut through the noise and what brands should be doing with all of the time that AI tools can help us save. Clue: it's all about spending more quality time building better connections. Finally, I talked to Lalitha Stables, HubSpot's new UK GM and Country Manager, about HubSpot's secret sauce and what stood out for her at the event. This interview follows on from my recent interview – It's not about the customer's journey with our platform, it's about the customer's journey – Interview with Nadine Macklin of Carto – and is number 523 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees. #GROWEurope2024 #hubspotpartner

Larry explains why going broad rather than niche can be fundamental for marketplace success, offering a counterintuitive view to that of many marketplace experts. He also talks about the flywheels Thumbtack has developed over time and the company's shift towards becoming a proactive operating system for homes instead of a reactive marketplace. Additionally, Larry offers valuable insights on value creation from a CFO's perspective, emphasizing the importance of making NPV-positive decisions and the strategic role of the CFO in guiding big business decisions. Hear about the crises that Larry has seen in his career and his advice to “never waste a good crisis”.If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:NetSuite provides financial software for all your business needs.

In this episode, Robbie was hosted by the Henley Business School Marketing Group for Coaches, where he shares his personal transition from feeling like a newcomer to fully embracing his identity as a coach.In his talk and the questions that follow, Robbie uses philosopher Ken Wilber's analogy of enlightenment being akin to having an accident – something you can't force but can become prone to – to set the stage for his approach to making oneself ‘client-prone' in the coaching business. While you can't make a client to say yes, there are strategies to increase the likelihood that you will accidentally find yourself with a client.In this episode, Robbie covers:The Prosperous Coach Flywheel, and how it can create a virtuous cycle that naturally leads to a growing coaching practice.The importance of creating a body of work, which serves as a powerful tool for connecting with potential clients before they even meet you and how to use the 12-Minute Method to make a body of work without it being time-consuming.How to navigate money conversations with confidence and integrity, ensuring that clients understand the value of the coaching experience.Transitioning from gifted sessions to paid clients.The session concludes with an audience Q&A, and among many things what comes across is that Robbie's approach to coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity, service, and a commitment to personal growth – both for himself and his clients.To read Robbie's latest thinking on Flywheels and coachings businesses, including his newly designed The Coaching Business Flywheel,visit https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelFor more information about Robbie, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Robbie's 100 Podcasts Challenge: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challengeRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Second Best Time is Now: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/15/the-second-best-time-is-nowRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Lost Relics of our Art: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/4/the-lost-relics-of-our-artRobbie's ebook, An Introduction to the Coaching Business Flywheel, is available for free here: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelKen Wilber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_WilberJamie Dru: https://www.jamiedru.com/Robbie on Jamie's podcast, The Career Climb: https://www.jamiedru.com/post/climb-08-robbieswaleKatie Harvey on The Coach's Journey (first appearance): https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coachThe Prosperous Coach: https://richlitvin.com/book/Joel Monk on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coachingBetterUp: https://www.betterup.com/Elizabeth Gilbert and her book Big Magic: https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/books/big-magic/Giovanna Cappozza on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-20-giovanna-capozzaThe 12-Minute Method: https://www.robbieswale.com/about-the-12-minute-methodDruss the Legend: https://davidgemmell.fandom.com/wiki/DrussDavid Gemmell: http://www.wisdomofgemmell.com/Jim Collins on the Tim Ferriss Show: https://tim.blog/2019/02/18/jim-collins/RUNNING ORDER~7m - Robbie's Journey to Becoming a Coach~9m - Making Yourself "Client Prone"~9m - The Five Habits for Growing a Coaching Business~10m - Exploring Creativity and Overcoming Challenges~11m - The Importance of Skilled Coaches in the World~12m - Robbie's Experience and Earnings as a Coach~13m - The Influence of "The Prosperous Coach" Book~15m - The Concept of a Flywheel in Business Growth~19m - The Prosperous Coach Flywheel Explained~22m - Detailed Breakdown of the Prosperous Coach Flywheel~25m - How to Oil the Flywheel for Business Growth~31m - The Role of a Body of Work in Creating Clients~31m - The Personal Transformation Through Creating Work~33m - Susan's Question on Money Conversations~37m - Strategies for Discussing Coaching Fees~38m - The 90-Day Money Game Challenge~39m - The Importance of Creating Powerful Coaching Experiences~40m - Susan's question on the Value of Coaching~43m - Xenia's question on Transitioning from Free to Paid Sessions

Currently valued at $320,000,000 and steadily growing (see live revenue here), Nathan Barry is marching ConvertKit to becoming a billion dollar company. In this episode we talk about:ConvertKit- When you started ConvertKit there were a plethora of email services. I'm curious what made you even think this was something you could compete with? - How do you find the core usage of people. Is this just talking to people?- I use CK. - Of all the CK use cases, what are people most using it for?- Newsletters? Email for business? Podcasts? YouTube? All of the above?Content Marketing - From your vantage point what's going on here? - Best practices?SEO:- I've personally noticed a tectonic shift in SEO in the last 3-4 years. Is this your feeling as well? Social Media:- Can you give me your thoughts on each of these platforms (are they growing, driver of good leads etc).- Facebook- Instagram - YouTube- LinkedIn- TikTok- Podcasting- Anything else?AI Stuff:- Is ConvertKit using AI in any way…and how do you avoid adding things that are “cool demos” but don't have much real usage. - What features (if any) are people asking for? - With your insights into the writing world, where do you see things going? Podcasting- What are the ways you're seeing people succeed with podcasts.Newsletters- You might be at one of the very forefronts of newsletters, because instead of selective bragging you see real numbers. We get so many people who want to create newsletters, or ARE creating them. It reminds me of the new blog. - What do you see working on newsletters?- What do you see NOT working on newsletters?- Can you give examples of newsletter who are killing it and what they're doing?

E47: Have you ever wondered how some creators and entrepreneurs seem to achieve incredible results effortlessly while others struggle to gain traction? The answer lies in a concept that has revolutionized my approach to business – the Flywheel Effect.Today, host Yong-Soo Chung (@YongSooChung) dives deep into the concept of a flywheel and why every creator needs 3 types of flywheels in their business.On today's episode, you'll learn:- Three Types of Flywheels for Creators- How to Build an Audience Growth Flywheel- How to Create Endless Amount of Content via Flywheel- How the Flywheel Effect Leads to Momentum and LeverageLet's get down to business!***SPONSOR: Big thanks to Swell AI for sponsoring this episode. Swell AI is like having a production assistant 24/7. If you're a content creator, do yourself a favor and try Swell AI.***EXCERPTS:Building Your Audience First: "I emphasize the need to build your audience before designing or building your product. Once you have built up your audience, you can begin to create a product for your audience's pain points. And how do you create your first product? You need to know your audience inside out. Your product needs to cater to the desires and pain points of your audience." — Yong-Soo Chung (08:51)The Flywheel Effect: "As we grow the social media, the access to guests increases. As we have larger and larger guests, the threads that we write on social media to promote the episode get more eyeballs because people want to learn lessons from those people that you had on the show. And so it becomes a flywheel of growing better guests. Those guests grow the podcast, and it just keeps feeding off itself. And that's the flywheel as a creator and a podcaster or a creator and a YouTube."  — Clint Murphy (10:47)*** LINKS: Episode 24Episode 36Episode 39Episode 41JOIN: First Class Founders Premium MembershipDOWNLOAD: Hyper-Visuals For Our Episodes (Free)***FOLLOW / REVIEW:- Follow - Leave 5-star review***CONNECT W/ YONG-SOO:- X- Threads- LinkedIn- Newsletter***First Class Founders is a show for indie hackers, bootstrapped founders, CEOs, solopreneurs, content creators, startup entrepreneurs, and SaaS startups covering topics like build in public, audience growth, product marketing, scaling up, side hustles, holding company, etc. Past guests include Arvid Kahl, Tyler Denk, Noah Kagan, Clint Murphy, Jay Abraham, Andrew Gazdecki, Matt McGarry, Nick Huber, Khe Hy, and more.

No matter what your walk in life, no matter how big or small your enterprise, no matter whether it's for-profit or nonprofit, no matter whether you're CEO or a unit leader, the question stands: How does your flywheel turn? Turning the Flywheel is a monograph that was meant to accompany Jim Collins' famous book Good to Great — which is all about what separate good companies from great ones, and how companies can make the journey to greatness. As Jim Collins writes in Turning the Flywheel: I wrote this monograph to share practical insights about the flywheel principles that became clear in the years after first writing about the flywheel effect in Chapter 8 of Good to Great. I decided to create this monograph because I've witnessed the power of the flywheel, when properly conceived and harnessed, in a wide range of organizations: in public corporations and private companies, in large multinationals and small family businesses, in military organizations and professional sports teams, in school systems and medical centers, in social movements and nonprofits. Since learning about the concept of the Flywheel, I've since explained it and helped many of the portfolio companies I've invested in — both personally and through my venture fund Ligature — to create and implement their own flywheel. It's a fantastic way to force deep strategic thinking as it forces you to identify the disciplines, that sit far above any product or month or quarter, that will help you build and sustain momentum. The best flywheels are both timely and timeless, acting as a source of strength in turbulent times and a fantastic guardrail when making strategic decisions. Flywheels ultimately explain why some companies build momentum and others don't.‍ Episode Guide Explore the big ideas, takeaways, and transcript for this episode: outlieracademy.com/169.

I decided to create this monograph because I've witnessed the power of the flywheel, when properly conceived and harnessed, in a wide range of organizations: in public corporations and private companies, in large multinationals and small family businesses, in military organizations and professional sports teams, in school systems and medical centers, in social movements and nonprofits. Since learning about the concept of the Flywheel, I've since explained it and helped many of the portfolio companies I've invested in — both personally and through my venture fund Ligature — to create and implement their own flywheel. It's a fantastic way to force deep strategic thinking as it forces you to identify the disciplines, that sit far above any product or month or quarter, that will help you build and sustain momentum. The best flywheels are both timely and timeless, acting as a source of strength in turbulent times and a fantastic guardrail when making strategic decisions. Flywheels ultimately explain why some companies build momentum and others don't.‍ Episode Guide Explore the big ideas, takeaways, and transcript for this episode: outlieracademy.com/169.
