Episode Summary On episode 318 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into the realities of building a thriving coaching business, from mindset and strategy to the nuts-and-bolts of profit growth. Karl discusses why listening to seasoned, successful entrepreneurs (“old and rich”) is the ultimate shortcut, warns against the flashy social media gurus, and offers step-by-step frameworks for helping clients boost their profits—even with simple tweaks like raising prices or launching new services. This episode is packed with actionable ideas for coaches working with local businesses and offers critical advice for coaches struggling to transition from previous careers. Key Topics Covered Choosing Who to Listen To: “Old and Rich” vs. the New Gurus Karl argues most social media and “guru” advice is flashy but hollow, highlighting why the wisdom of long-term, successful entrepreneurs like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is far more valuable. He points out the pitfalls of following voices that are motivational but unproven, and underscores the importance of critical thinking in selecting mentors and sources. Mindset, Psychology, and Temperament for Struggling Coaches Rode Dog and Karl address coaches transitioning from successful careers who find themselves struggling—they explore mental gymnastics, the power of building a bigger/brighter future, managing psychology, and the necessity of consistent forward progress over time. Business Model Fundamentals: Profit, Pricing, and Retention The hosts unpack principles from Karl's operating system, like the impact of raising prices incrementally, controlling costs, and focusing relentlessly on profit rather than just revenues. They debunk the myth that scale equals success, spotlighting profit as the real domino for business stability. Additional Products and Services—Real-World Examples Karl walks through detailed examples—bakery, butcher, landscaping business, hair salon, gym—showing coaches how to help clients add offerings to increase repeat business and margins, using McDonald's cross-selling (“Do you want fries with that?”) as a gold standard. Ideas range from day-old bread and foam rollers to personal training upsells, maintenance plans, and branded merchandise. Client Feedback and Creativity Rode Dog highlights the importance of simply asking customers what they want as a source for new ideas. They discuss why business owners miss these opportunities and how tapping into actual client preferences unlocks profitable new offerings. Compounding Progress and the Boring Path to Wealth Karl returns to the principle that consistent, incremental improvement (1% per day) compounds into massive long-term success. Temperament, discipline, and sticking to fundamentals—rather than chasing the next shiny object—lead to sustainable wealth and client impact. Notable Quotes “You want to listen to people who've been through the dot-com bubble, the 2008 crash, Covid… still standing. These are the autobiographies you want to be reading.” – Karl Bryan “Old and rich, very, very rare. These are the types of people to be listening to… using your critical thinking skills.” – Karl Bryan “The secret to having a better now is having a bigger, brighter future.” – Karl Bryan “Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” – Karl Bryan “You don't have a client or money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” – Karl Bryan “Success in business is incredibly boring… It's the fundamentals. Consistency and discipline over amazing skill and talent.” – Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways 1. Seek Wisdom, Not Hype: Follow and learn from seasoned, long-term entrepreneurs—not trendy social media personalities. 2. Build Your Psychology and Temperament: Focus on mindset; resilience and a future-oriented frame are critical for coaches struggling after prior successes. 3. Use Operating Systems and Compounding Returns: Adopt systems that drive incremental improvements (across pricing, cost control, product/service expansion) for clients—1% daily progress compounds powerfully over a year. 4. Help Clients Add or Upsell Products/Services: Leverage simple cross-sells, bundles, and maintenance/upgrades as repeat business and margin boosters. 5. Ask Clients for Feedback: Encourage your clients to solicit ideas directly from their customers—sometimes the most profitable additions are hiding in plain sight. 6. Remember: Progress Equals Happiness: Keep your clients (and yourself) moving forward consistently, celebrating incremental wins and compounding growth.

Will you listen as wisdom cries out in a noisy world? Peter Budimir unpacks Proverbs 2 and 3, showing how seeking God's wisdom and hiding His Word in our hearts leads to life and blessing.

What does it really mean to be wise? Is wisdom just knowledge and skill, or is it something deeper? In this opening message from Proverbs, Luke Watts explores how true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and shapes the way we live today.

Solomon warns kings and rulers that all authority comes from God and must be exercised to promote God's laws and holiness. If they love righteousness and seek wisdom, then they'll reign for ever in God's Kingdom. Then, he uses his own love pursuit of eternal Wisdom as an example they should follow.

Join us in this episode as we see the kingdom's devastating split. Despite prideful choices and political chaos, we can be confident God's plans and promises will always prevail.Themes of this podcast:God's covenant will prevail, even through human failure. Despite the foolishness, division, and rebellion of Israel's kings and people, God's promise to David remains intact. God's plan cannot be derailed—even by bad kings, broken kingdoms, or national collapse.Wisdom is a choice and so is foolishness. Rehoboam had access to wisdom through his father Solomon's proverbs, his advisors, and his heritage, but he rejected it. His story is a cautionary tale that wisdom isn't inherited—it's chosen. When we choose pride and comfort over counsel and obedience, the consequences can be devastating for everyone.God is in control, even when the kingdoms fall apart. From torn cloaks to divided thrones, God can make everything that happens work for our salvation. The world may seem out of control, but nothing is outside God's hand.Show Notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him (James 1:5). Thank you, Jesus!

Life is Short—Seek Wisdom (Psalm 90) Daniel Nealon May 18, 2025 by Deer Creek Church

Pastor Josh delivers a powerful and heartfelt word on what it truly means to behold Jesus — not from a distance, but through deep, personal encounter.

"If you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:4

Isaiah 35:5-6 and 42:6-7; Luke 4:16-20 Jesus understood from the Scriptures that he was to heal the blind. However, there was no specific instruction given on how to do it. So how did he know what to do? Matthew 12:22-23 With the possessed blind and mute man, he cast out the demon. Matthew 20:29-34 Two blind men cried out to him. Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Mark 8:22-26 Jesus took the blind man from Bethsaida by the hand and led him out spitting on his eyes and laying hands on him. The man was not instantly healed. Mark 10:46-52 In Jericho, Jesus said, “Go, your faith has made you whole.” John 9:1-41 He spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and applied the clay to his eyes. Go wash in the pool of Siloam. Each incident required its own unique application, so how did he know? Proverbs 1:20-23 Wisdom calls out everywhere. Proverbs 8:1-12 Wisdom is readily available all the time. Proverbs 9:1-6 Jesus understood the availability of wisdom James 1:5-8 God gives it generously and without reproach. Proverbs 4:1-12 Accurate knowledge is essential, but by itself it is not enough. We need wisdom, just like Jesus needed it. Proverbs 15:2; 18:2; 26:11; 13:20 We have a deficiency−the lack of wisdom. However, this can be our greatest asset for it forces dependency and communication with God. Luke 2:40, 52 Jesus grew in wisdom. Solomon and David lost their wisdom Eph. 1:17; Col. 1:9 Pray for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.The post Seek Wisdom first appeared on Living Hope.

In this message, Pastor John Carter talks about how God's wisdom, in the Book of Provers will guide us in our spiritual and literal approach to our lives.

Seeking Wisdom and Its Benefits Petrina discussed the importance of seeking wisdom and the benefits it brings. She highlighted the Book of Proverbs in the Old Testament, written by Solomon, as a source of wisdom. She emphasized the need to let go of distractions and hindrances to gain wisdom, and that wisdom is available for all who seek it. She also mentioned that the rest of the book talks about the benefits of seeking wisdom, such as having knowledge that brings ease and peace. She encouraged her audience to meditate on their choices and decisions, and to apply wisdom and knowledge to their responsibilities. She concluded by inviting her audience to delve into the Book of Proverbs, specifically chapter one, and to join her in the next session where they will discuss chapter two.

By David Metzel - We need to be wise Christians. God has called us to be ambassadors to properly represent Him and His Way and to be lights to the world. Peter tells us we need to be able to give an answer when we are asked. It takes wisdom to answer properly and to be a light.

Luke is a linseed professional counselor who specializes with kids, teens, and families in Christian Counseling. If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, mood challenges, ADHD, and other mental health concerns, reach out to Luke   https://www.whitestoneresources.com/counselors-list/lmerrill   My media channels all go to Garth Heckman starting today… Today I uploaded a clip of me unloading a 30 round mag in my new Glock 19X and then add some flavor to it with another weapon thrown in…    Text me 30 second interviews of you asking people “whats it take to be a man” (and send me yours as well) Please let people know this is not a gender question… just simply in each persons mind we have a simple theory of what it takes to be a man… I will post them on all my social meads channels… hey I would love to hear from women as well. There are no right or wrong answers… and I don't just want christian men, so if a guy cusses we will edit it out if its really bad.      INtro: Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV) “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” Now is the time Slayer!      5 Things Every Christian Entrepreneur Should Know As a Christian entrepreneur, your faith can provide a strong foundation for your business endeavors. Here are 5 essential things to keep in mind: God's Sovereignty: Recognize that God is ultimately in control of your business. Trust in His plan and seek His guidance in every decision.   But don't misplace handwork with faith. I have put on dozens of Permit to carry classes and we have had over almost 2000 people come in the last 5 years… We prayed over the events, we called out in faith what we believe and expected to happen… but I also worked my butt off. Working on social media posts, handing out posters, building teams, answering thousands of emails, dealing with the haters and the skeptics, building a budget, raising money etc…  It takes hard work! Period… James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.   Ethical Business Practices: Align your business practices with biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness. This can build trust with customers and partners.   God cannot bless tilted scales… what do I mean by that? If you are trying to fudge, stretch the truth, lie, manipulate, take shortcuts, cut back on Quality, over promise and under deliver… God won't bless that.    Generosity and Giving Back: Use your business as a platform to give back to your community and support charitable causes. This can be a powerful way to make a positive impact. You really want to see your business take off? Tithe on what you make. If my business makes $500 each month, I am tithing $50 to a church or ministry.  God cannot bless seed that you do not sow… when you are hurting is the best time to sow.      Work-Life Balance: Prioritize your relationship with God, family, and friends. A strong support system can help you navigate the challenges and stresses of entrepreneurship. Look, if your business keeps you so busy that you can't keep your quite time with him, your reading and prayer time… it's probably best your business dies so you have more time to spend with him.  Start ups are a million miles a second and that's when they are struggling… so if you don't practice that discipline now, you won't when you become successful.    Seek Wisdom and Guidance: Continuously seek guidance from God and wise mentors. This can help you make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls.     Remember, your faith can be a source of strength, inspiration, and purpose as you build your business.

In our latest episode, "Sharing the Sacred Wisdom of the Grandmother's," I had an amazing conversation with Heather Hall Dudney about what it was like growing up the daughter of a world renowned medicine woman, Grandmother Flordemayo and how her mother's teachings shaped who she became.  We discussed the value of seeking wisdom from indigenous grandmothers, the importance of supporting elders, and the joy of sharing positive wisdom in today's chaotic world.  Heather shares the story of “The Path”, Grandmother Flordemayo's vision, their non-profit and the seed temple that is her mother's legacy and we take you behind the scenes of our time together supporting these elders in Miami and Sedona. You'll love how funny our stories are! We also invite you to come join us for a variety of events with the Grandmother's this fall in Sedona, Santa Fe, Michigan and Rhode Island. Here are the key takeaways from our discussion:

Feminism doesn't affect you in any way, right? Well, maybe it does, in a sneaky sort of way.    Timmerie recently had a great conversation with Dr. Carrie Gress, author of The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Destroyed Us. Together, they explored a critical question: How do we combat modern feminism from within? Some content may not be suitable for all listeners.    Key Points from the Podcast:   Unmasking Feminism's Anti-Catholic Roots: Timmerie and Dr. Gress reveal that many feminist icons held anti-Catholic views, with some even dabbling in Satanism, Wicca, and witchcraft. Scary! Feminism's stance often clashes with the Church's teachings on abortion, marriage, and gender. It's concerning to really consider the impact feminism has had on society, and it affects women in many subtle ways.   Feminism's Cultural Impact: The influence of feminism permeates our culture, affecting everything from media and education to norms within marriages. It's everywhere and it's so hard to get away from! This can really mess up relationships with your spouse and children, promoting a "no-contact" culture devoid of responsibility and connection.    The Anti-Mary Exposed: Dr. Gress' previous works, including The Anti-Mary Exposed, show how the virtues of Our Lady are so different from modern feminist ideals. Our Lady is all about humility, wisdom, and grace—qualities often rejected by contemporary culture.    Feminism and Family Dynamics: It's sad how feminism encourages women to treat their husbands like children, making it all about control and dominance. This undermines the natural, respectful partnership intended in marriage.    Looking to Our Lady: Our Lady is the ultimate model for women, embodying virtues that challenge the feminist narrative. She's the one that women should aspire to be.    Finding Role Models: Finding modern role models who live out these virtues is key. These women, whether in daily life or historical figures like St. Edith Stein, can guide our society toward a more fulfilling, faith-aligned existence.    Action Steps:   Reflect on Our Lady's Virtues: Compare your life and choices to the virtues of Our Lady. Are there areas influenced by feminist ideals that need to change?   Seek Wisdom and Grace: Embrace practices like silent prayer to open yourself to God's graces, allowing His wisdom to guide your actions and relationships.   Read and Learn: Explore Dr. Gress' works such as The End of Woman and Theology of Home series to deepen your understanding and find practical ways to integrate these insights into your daily life.    Final Thought: True fulfillment for women lies not in the aggressive, control-driven feminism promoted by modern culture, but in embracing the virtues and wisdom exemplified by Our Lady. Rediscover and champion your God-given identity!

10 Ways To Change Bad Habits & Achieve Success | The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   10 Ways to Change Bad Behavior and Achieve Success: A Christian Perspective Success in life is not merely about achieving worldly goals but aligning our lives with God's purpose. True success encompasses spiritual growth, character development, and fulfilling our God-given potential. Here are ten deep, transformative steps to change bad behavior and achieve true success from a Christian perspective. 1. Seek God's Will The foundation of true success is aligning our desires with God's will. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Seeking God's will through prayer and Scripture helps us discern the right path and align our goals with His purpose. Example: Dedicate time each day to prayer and reading the Bible, asking God to reveal His plans for your life. 2. Embrace Humility and Servanthood Jesus exemplified servant leadership. Philippians 2:3-4 urges us, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” True success involves serving others and putting their needs before our own. Example: Look for opportunities to serve in your community or church, focusing on helping others rather than seeking personal gain. 3. Cultivate Discipline and Self-Control Proverbs 25:28 states, “Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.” Discipline and self-control are crucial for overcoming bad habits and achieving success. This involves setting boundaries and staying committed to your goals despite challenges. Example: Create a schedule that prioritizes your goals and stick to it, avoiding distractions that lead to procrastination. 4. Pursue Integrity Success built on dishonesty is fleeting. Proverbs 10:9 says, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” Living a life of integrity means being honest and trustworthy in all your dealings, which builds a solid foundation for lasting success. Example: Make a commitment to honesty in all areas of your life, even when it's difficult or inconvenient. 5. Develop a Strong Work Ethic Colossians 3:23-24 advises, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” A strong work ethic, grounded in the desire to glorify God, leads to excellence and success in all endeavors. Example: Approach every task, whether big or small, with diligence and a spirit of excellence, as if you are doing it for the Lord. 6. Practice Gratitude Gratitude transforms our perspective and aligns us with God's blessings. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 encourages us to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Gratitude fosters a positive mindset, helping us to appreciate progress and stay motivated. Example: Keep a gratitude journal, noting daily the things you are thankful for, and regularly thank God for His blessings. 7. Seek Wisdom and Counsel Proverbs 15:22 teaches, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Seeking wisdom from God and godly counsel from others can provide valuable insights and guidance, helping you avoid pitfalls and make informed decisions. Example: Surround yourself with wise mentors and advisors who can provide biblical guidance and support. 8. Persevere Through Challenges James 1:2-4 tells us, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” Success often involves overcoming obstacles. Perseverance builds character and leads to maturity and completeness in Christ. Example: When faced with challenges, view them as opportunities for growth and trust that God is using them to strengthen your faith. 9. Invest in Relationships Success is deeply connected to the quality of our relationships. John 13:34-35 commands us, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Building strong, loving relationships reflects Christ's love and creates a supportive community. Example: Invest time and effort in nurturing relationships with family, friends, and your church community, showing love and care in practical ways. 10. Rely on the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit empowers us to live godly lives and achieve true success. Galatians 5:22-23 describes the fruit of the Spirit, which includes qualities essential for success such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Relying on the Holy Spirit transforms our character and guides our actions.
