Parents are always the experts when it comes to their kids. We get a lot of questions around parent training and how to best approach it, and here we're sharing some tips and best practices. As professionals, we need to remember to take the parent's perspective and acknowledge their busy lifestyles and challenges. Although we went to school for many years to master our careers, the concepts we teach are often foreign to parents, so it helps to speak in layman's terms.We discuss how to establish a foundation with parents and how to get to know the family's unique routines and habits. Our main goal when working with parents is to help support them in their goals and leave our own bias at the door. Our conversation also includes how to help parents achieve easy wins with their kids, how to leverage behavior skills training, and why it's important to start small and build rapport.

As practitioners, we often learn to use assessments to help plan our programs. However, we can also miss the big picture. Here, we're diving into how to use practical programs with our learners. Kids are multi-faceted and while assessments can be helpful, they can also prevent us from tailoring programs to each unique individual. We cover some of the different ways we can get caught up in the details and how to teach more dynamically.One challenge with using assessments is that they break out specific concepts, making it harder to teach skills holistically. We discuss how to troubleshoot when a specific program may not be working and how to choose a different path. Our conversation also includes ways to monitor progress and keep track of long-term goals. On February 22nd, we're hosting a CEU on practical program planning through our membership.

Would you like to learn how to do deals while golfing? Here, I'll show you how to do it. A few months ago, we were out hitting some balls, and I got a text from my acquisitions manager saying that we just made $36K on a flipped vacant lot deal. We never went to see it and barely talked to the seller. We worked with a realtor and got this: it was listed for $340,000, we got it under contract for $215,000, and then we sold it for $280,000. After all our closing costs, taxes, and other stuff, we netted $36,000 on this vacant land deal that we didn't buy; we just assigned the deal. We used a realtor out in another state, and we didn't use any of our own money. You've heard me say before that the keys to success in this business are three things: marketing, automation, and delegation. That's how you can do deals while golfing, and I'll share with you some of the best tips to make things happen.What's Inside:—How we did a recent deal by partnering with a realtor.—Why marketing, automation, and delegation are the keys to success in real estate.—How to set up the right systems to do more deals.

When you hear the term “BST model,” what comes to mind? Typically, we think of staff training or social skills, but in ABA, we can use it for so much more. Here, we cover the various applications of behavioral skills training in more detail. The more you can practice a scenario in a calm, relaxed environment, the better prepared you are to handle it when it comes up in real life. We discuss the four distinct parts of BST: instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. We sometimes forget how valuable practice is, so we spend time talking about the importance of rehearsal. We also cover how to incorporate reinforcement and feedback and provide some real-world examples of BST in action.What's Inside:How to use BST outside of staff training and social skills.The importance of rehearsal, or practice.How to incorporate reinforcement.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramBlog – What is Behavioral Skills Training (BST)Bx Blueprint
What if you could do just one or two things every day that would practically guarantee your success? What if when you did these things consistently, you would do one or two deals each and every month? Would you be interested in that? If so, you're in luck.

I'll show you how to create a simple marketing plan that isn't overwhelming but forces you to focus on what's most important to you in your business.

I was just listening to my buddy Jerry Norton on YouTube, and he said something so profound. He said your goal shouldn't be to learn how to do your first deal. The goal isn't to do a deal and make some money. The goal is to build a business that does deals and makes some money along the way. Sometimes, we're aiming too low. We need to aim higher.Learning how to do your first deal is important, but after you get it done, then what? You know, many times doing that first deal is just kind of getting you back to square one. Instead of a goal to do a deal every month or one deal a week, why not think bigger in terms of building a business that can produce income and do deals for you? It's a huge difference.

I just did a coaching call and thought it would be important to release it to you guys as a podcast. The market is seriously changing, and there are some key things you need to understand and have in place for you to be profitable in 2024 going forward. Sellers are becoming more motivated, buyers are becoming pickier, and private investors are getting more cautious with lending their money. You just have to button things up. In the last couple of years, you could get away with stupid things. For the last five years, anybody could make money in this market, but things are changing now, and it's important that you learn to shift with it.Here's your homework assignment after you listen to this: I want you to write down five different rules that you are going to refuse to break in your real estate business. Whether you're doing houses or vacant land, it doesn't matter. You need to have five rules that you will not compromise on when you are making offers on deals, when you're lending money, or when you're buying deals. If you're not careful, you're going to become the motivated buyer, and you're going to be chasing bad deals, which could really hurt your sales. When you're desperate for a deal, you're willing to compromise a little bit on these things, and you're going to get screwed.What's Inside:—How to make sure your business is profitable in 2024—Pricing tips from a recent coaching call—How to work with funding companies
The real estate market is shifting. We're going to see a lot of changes over the next year, as we're coming into 2024. I think it's going to be dramatic, but not super dramatic. We're not going to see a crash like we did in 2008, but things are changing, and they're changing rapidly. I'm always thinking about where the market is going and what the next wave is. I've already been hearing rumors from people that short sales are way up again, banks are starting to foreclose, and people are starting to get behind on payments.One of my favorite books is Who Moved My Cheese, and the cheese is moving. It's important to have a game plan together so you can ride the wave. I've got some rules here that I'm going to be giving to you for vacant land, because that's a lot of what I'm doing these days. Regardless of what direction the market is going, it's always important to understand the fundamentals of your business.

As BCBAs, part of our job is to target challenging behavior. Here, we discuss how to do so in a compassionate way so that our learners feel safe. Sometimes, our learners just need our empathy and support after a rough day. As behavior analysts, we have to shift our focus from a follow-through perspective to how to best support those we work with. The best solutions to challenging problems often come from providing a safe, welcoming environment.Having a trauma-informed approach is key, and pushing through sometimes makes challenging behaviors worse. Creating the foundation of a solid relationship should come before we place any real demands on our learners. Our conversation includes how to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach, how to build trusting relationships, and how to make environments more enriching and fun.What's Inside:How to create a safe environment for our learners.How to make the learning environment more enriching and fun.How to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramEpisode 061: 7 Steps to Instructional Control with Robert Schramm
Morgan van Diepen is the founder of ABA Visualized, a company whose goal is to make behavioral expertise approachable, accessible, and relatable. As a BCBA working abroad and then with the vibrant international community in Los Angeles, Morgan quickly developed a passion for supporting under-serviced families. She realized the recurring barriers affecting these communities and limiting their access to effective behavioral expertise: long waitlists to learn from expert service providers and an abundance of technical jargon-filled texts. Morgan then created the ABA Visualized Guidebook, which utilizes step-by-step visuals and approachable language to accomplish that sought-after accessible behavior expertise. Today, ABA Visualized, as a company, has grown to offer a collection of books and trainings available worldwide. Here, Morgan shares insights into the development of ABA Visualized.

The holidays are fast approaching and we're starting to plan for the upcoming busy season. Parties and gatherings with a lot of people can be stressful and overwhelming for many of our learners. Here, we dive into ways we can help decrease stress throughout the holiday season. The first thing we discuss is how to use a visual schedule. The unpredictable nature of the holidays can really throw off a child's routine. A schedule provides structure and having it in visual form keeps things front and center.It also helps if you have time to practice skills or visit locations ahead of time. For example, if holiday plans involve taking a lot of pictures, have a photo shoot beforehand to minimize overwhelm and confusion. We also share tips on how to say no to invitations, designating a safe space for kids to take a break, and how to handle transitions smoothly.

In this business, you're going to come across a bad deal every now and then. I recently had a coaching client ask me when they should get out of a bad deal, and here, I share my answer. A lot of people were really hurting back in '08, and the scenario may happen again. The last thing you want to be dealing with in a time of crisis is a property that's hurting you. My advice is to get rid of the deal and cut ties with it as soon as possible. You might think you're Superman and think you can turn it around, but nine times out of ten, things are going to get even worse. Getting out of the deal might involve taking a hit up front, but you'll save yourself time, money, and a ton of headaches in the long run.If you want to learn how to do more deals, head to DealsWithJoe.com.

We made it to part four of my Do or Die series with my missionary friend, Josh. If you've been following along, you know all about the amazing work he's doing in South Asia.

Things are bound to happen. Whether you are a new or seasoned provider, you will surely encounter an ethical dilemma. Licensed Clinical Psychologist and BCBA-D, Dr. Linda LeBlanc, is on to talk about the importance of ethics, provider values, and her new book, Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior Analysts.For many, your position in the field of ABA is the first professional role where you are officially responsible for the outcome of a vulnerable person. Your personal underlying values are important to decision making when it comes to the code of ethics. Ethical situations in this field can bring questions to boundaries and relationships appropriate for the role.The first response to an ethical situation is often a gut response. But Dr. LeBlanc poses the idea of how providers can be proactive in their ethical framework before specific ethical dilemmas even arise. She explains the big picture of her up and coming book in three parts that will cover history, values, and personal behavior, a dissection of each section of the ethics code, and practical everyday management of ethics.Following the code of ethics is not about perfection; it is about being planned, intentional, and thoughtful in a way that protects you and your client. You can find out more about Dr. Linda LeBlanc at her website and read a preview of her book at Sloan Publishing. #autism #speectherapy What's Inside:How new providers may encounter ethical dilemmas.The underlying values and personal decision making behind the ethical code.A framework for proactive ethical management.Dr. Lina LeBlanc's book, Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior AnalystsMentioned In This Episode:LeBlanc Behavioral ConsultingSloan Publishing - Ethics: Proactive and Practical Decision Making for Behavior AnalystsMembership - ABA Speech
In the past, we've touched on how to teach basic social skills. However, with some learners, we have to go beyond simple contingency management and reinforcement techniques. We've been exploring how to teach social skills using ACT – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. ACT is rooted in Relational Frame Theory (RFT), which you may be familiar with as a BCBA. When we teach using ACT, we can build skills that require indirect experiences and abstract thought. We can also build psychological flexibility with our learners. It helps keep them in the present moment, create space for their values, and more.Instead of relying on reinforcement, values-based teaching can sometimes be much more effective. We discuss how to help students take action towards their values while learning social skills along the way. We provide some real-world examples of how this works and how to use the DNA-V curriculum. For our next CEU Event, we'll dive deeper into teaching social skills with an ACT-based approach. The CEU event will be held on November 16th at 12:00 pm EST for The Bx Resource Pro Members.

This is part three with my good friend Josh Howard, who is a missionary in the South Asia area. The goal of this session with Josh was to look at some of the counties that he's picked for his vacant land business. Josh and I have been an open book about our process in this series, and he's been targeting several counties in Texas. He's got access to the MLS through a realtor friend, which you'll definitely need if you want to get historical data.Josh is also looking at some other states, and here, we zero in on North Carolina and look at the data. Some of you may be out there thinking that you won't be able to go into the counties Josh and I show here, but you can't avoid competition. Any time you go into a county where no one else is doing deals or there's nobody marketing, it's a bad sign. We're focusing on a county that has a lot of demand, a ton of activity, and a bunch of recent land transactions. I walk through how to pull a list of leads in a target county, how to set up a call automation campaign, and how to use data to figure out the best range for offers.What's Inside:—How to pull a list of leads in a target county.—How to set up a call automation campaign.—How to determine the right range for your offers.
Working with clients is just one part of our jobs as ABA professionals. Another important part is communicating with supervisors, parents, co-workers, and other stakeholders we interact with day to day. Here, we're covering all things related to professional communication and feedback. Communication isn't always easy, especially when it involves an emergency or a program that is not working. When it comes to working as an RBT, sometimes you'll know a learner better than the BCBA, and it's your right to provide feedback, positive or negative.We discuss giving and receiving feedback and how to approach those interactions appropriately, including timing, format, and demeanor. In the professional feedback model from the Princeton Childhood Institute, there are several key steps to follow, and we walk through each of those. We also talk about common communication obstacles, what to do if you feel defensive when receiving feedback or criticism, and tips for communicating with parents.

This is part two of my coaching series that I'm doing with Josh, a good friend of mine who is a missionary somewhere in South Asia. He's been doing some awesome things for the Lord in this particular country that he's in. If you haven't listened to part one yet, he's actually in an area of the world that is very dangerous for any religious minorities. In the last eight and a half years, Josh has seen over 20,000 churches started, which is just crazy. In our last call, we came away with a simple marketing plan, and here, we talk about putting our plan into action. We cover cold calling, direct mail, and working with VAs to get things done faster. We also talk about getting good leads and how to use tech like FreedomSoft and Prycd to run your real estate business. A lot of people get discouraged because it's been a month and they don't have leads or offers coming in yet. The truth is, you have to be committed for at least three to six months to gain traction. Make it your goal to talk to five sellers per day and get out three offers; it's a recipe for success.What's Inside:—How to work with VAs to streamline your process.—How to use programs like FreedomSoft and Prycd in your business.—How to find the best vacant land leads.
I was listening to a sports radio show, and they were talking about Jay-Z and Drake. They asked a very interesting question about when it should be time for them to stop singing and rapping about being poor. One guy said they can talk about it all they want because some people are born on first base and others on third. I thought about it, and it's so true. None of us are born on home plate. Some people out there learned from the school of hard knocks and grew up in the streets or the hood. Others grew up in suburban, middle-class families, and their parents never got divorced. None of us get to choose when and where we're born; that's just the way it is. A lot of people blame their circumstances and failures on how they were raised, but I think that's just an excuse. I know a lot of successful people that are in business today who were born on first base and are doing really well. My point is to stop making excuses for your lack of success and let it fire you up. You should also be excited and learn from others who are doing well.What's Inside:—How the situation we're born into impacts our business life.—Why you shouldn't blame your failures on your circumstances.—Why you should be excited for those who are winning.

Here's the thing, guys. You can whine and complain, or you can make offers. What are you going to choose? You can complain, you can whine, you can blame other people. You can blame the software, systems, or even the postcards. You can blame the coaches and gurus all you want. The real question is, if things aren't working for you, how many offers have you made? Someone in my Facebook group was just complaining about how unhappy they were with my course and marketing programs, and I asked them that very question. They never got back to me, but here's my point: It's all a numbers game.You can make excuses or you can make money, but you can't make both. As a real estate entrepreneur, that's your choice to make. If you're someone who blames everyone else for your lack of success, you've got some other problems to address.

While I was golfing the other day, I got a text from my land company acquisitions partner, Matt. We just got to wire $31,000 and change from a deal that we just did. This was in an area of Florida that is pretty competitive, and we've probably spent $3,000 or $4,000 in direct mail. Not everybody makes money flipping vacant land, and not everybody who buys my course makes money. I've been doing this a long time, but it's not complicated. You have to put in the work. You have to put in the effort. There's nothing stopping you from having success in this business except you getting in your own way. It's easy to get in your own head and think that things won't work for you. You've got to get the negative doubts out of your head, and you've got to believe that it works. You've also got to get out there and do the marketing, talk to the sellers, make offers, and be consistent. Here, I share some tips to help you get into the right mindset so you can win.What's Inside:—How to get out of your head and into a winning mindset—Why it's important to put in the work and stay consistent—Info on my free land flipping kit

ABA is all about data. Here, we dive into why measurement is so important and how to make sure we're taking and reporting accurate data. Two of the seven dimensions of ABA are to be effective and to be analytic. In other words, we want to make decisions based on subjectivity and something tangible, not just an opinion. This helps us assess whether we're making real progress with our students, if a program is really helping a family, if behaviors are decreasing, and so on. There's no right way to take data; however, the goal is to make sure it's not cumbersome. Before we get started, we have to take baseline data, and here we discuss what that process looks like. We talk about how data helps us analyze problem behaviors, how quickly our students are learning, and whether we have to modify a program. We also discuss how to decrease data collection overwhelm, how to choose appropriate collection methods, and how to analyze and understand data.What's Inside:How to make our measurement and data collection effectiveThe importance of taking baseline dataHow to decrease data collection overwhelmMentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFree ABC Data Sheet

Working with clients is only one aspect of our job. Communicating with parents and making sure they feel comfortable with us is another key skill to master. Here, we provide insights and guidance into how to do this effectively. The most communication with parents is typically through a paraprofessional, ABA therapist, teacher, or support staff. They have the most interaction with both students and parents, so it's important that any messaging come across as caring and attentive. Even something as simple as starting off a conversation with something personal and positive makes a big difference.Asking parents about their communication preferences is key as well. Some parents prefer minimal communication, while others require more details and frequent touches. We discuss how to place parameters and boundaries around parental communication and how to maintain a balance. We also talk about how to keep things simple, how to communicate changes in scheduling or staffing, and why it's important to keep your main focus on the student.What's Inside:How to improve your communication with parents,How to set communication parameters and maintain a balance,The importance of communicating changes to scheduling and staffing,Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFree Parent Communication Log
I recently had breakfast with a new friend who is a missionary in India. He's been a coaching student of mine for a long time and made a ton of money doing traditional house wholesaling in Indianapolis... from India! My friend is a white American missionary doing work in an area where it's illegal to be Christian, and he's still doing deals. Lately, he's slowed down with houses, so I've been helping him transition to vacant land. I just want to encourage you guys that if this guy can do deals from India, a place where there's severe persecution, anybody can do deals.

Jose Armstrong knows all about how to flip vacant land deals, and he's been doing them along with some of my students. One of the things that a lot of people I know are doing, and something I've been doing for years, is partnering with other people on deals. Sometimes I find the leads and get them under contract, but I don't have the time or don't want to sell them. So, I'll find somebody else to sell inventory, or people will find the deals for me, bring them to me, and we'll partner on them either by lending the money or closing together. This is something I teach others how to do, and Jose's here to share his own experience and success stories.There may be times when you have to turn down deals because of a lack of time, money, or something else. When you partner with others, you can get what you need and still do the deal. Jose and I talk about some of the deals he's done recently and how much he's profited. We also discuss marketing, what areas he's most interested in, and how he puts together offers.

We're currently working on a deal somewhere in Florida, and I want to show you something here that is really, really cool. It's a four-acre property that we got under contract for about $215,000. The seller listed it the year before at $340,000, and it expired a few months ago. We originally listed the property on our website and Land.com for $280,000 and got a buyer, but it fell through. We were getting discouraged, but then we took a bit of a different angle.We got on the phone and started calling buyer's agents, offering them generous commissions if they could find us a buyer. This subtle shift made a huge difference, and in just a few phone calls, we got a buyer. We were blatant and upfront with the realtors that we were wholesalers and told them we just wanted to assign our contract to save on closing costs. Here, I'm walking through the strategy so you can copy it in your own business. What's Inside:—How to work with realtors to sell your vacant land faster.
If you've been following along, we're now on part six of my masterclass video series with Jerry Norton. In this one, we talk all about analyzing vacant land deals. I thought this was really important, especially for my audio listeners, because it's just important to understand that it's different from houses. In some ways, land is more difficult to comp than houses, but once you learn it, you'll find it's actually pretty simple and easy.We buy land on the cheap; we're talking 35 to 50 cents on the dollar at the most. This gives us a lot of room for error. Although it's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis, doing so prevents you from taking the action you need to make massive strides in your real estate business. Here, Jerry and I show you how you can come up with a value for a piece of vacant land and a matching offer in less than five minutes.

Reinforcement is one of our most common and useful tools, and it's just as important to know how to fade reinforcement. Reinforcement involves presenting a preferred item or activity that's delivered after a positive response to increase the future likelihood of that response. One of the biggest misconceptions about reinforcement is that offering something to a learner will make them want it every time. The truth is that many reinforcements fade naturally or intentionally after a behavior is learned. Here, we dive into fading reinforcement through different schedules.Fading reinforcement is important because we want our learners to want to do things on their own. We discuss different types of reinforcement, including one-to-one and intermittent. As skills get mastered, we introduce new skills, so the introduction and fading of reinforcement is a continual process. Instead of using technical terms, we share examples of how you can fade reinforcement in the real world. Our conversation also includes tips on how to use behavior contracts and self-monitoring as well as how to naturally fade reinforcement in the classroom.What's Inside:How to fade reinforcement through different schedules.Real world examples of how to fade reinforcement.How to naturally fade reinforcement in the classroom.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramVideo – How to Use Reinforcement ProperlyFree Reinforcement Checklist
For many, the beginning of a new school year can be an exciting time. For others, it evokes fear and worry. Here, we discuss the best ways to help our learners with autism transition back to school. New classrooms, new faces, and new noises can be a challenge, along with intimidating social situations and unrealistic classroom demands. Not every family sends their kids to structured programs throughout the summer, so the back-to-school transition for these children can be extra tough. Getting back into the swing of things after spending time doing whatever they want isn't easy. If you work with kids transitioning back to school, a great place to start is talking to the parents. Encourage parents to contact the school a couple of weeks prior to the first day to arrange a school tour and meet teachers. We talk about other ways to ease the transition, like all-about-me sheets to help teachers get to know your child on a deeper level. We also discuss how to help kids get used to routines throughout the school day, adjusted schedules, the importance of a good communication system, and when to introduce behavior plans.What's Inside:How to help parents transition their kids back to school.Tips to help teachers get to know kids before school starts.How to help kids adjust to new school day routines.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFree Communication Log
This is the audio from my fourth video in my land flipping masterclass with Jerry Norton. In the previous segments, we talked about finding the perfect target market, how to find buyers, and how to know what those buyers are looking for. Here, we dive into how to find sellers who are the most motivated to sell their property. It's important to maintain a strong, consistent pipeline of leads, and you want to focus on quality over quantity. High-quality leads equal high-quality conversations and more deals.Jerry and I walk through the criteria we use to pull lists of potential sellers. We also talk about how making a large number of offers increases your chances of making deals. If you can make just three to five offers per day, you can pretty much guarantee results. Virtual assistants can help you get across the finish line even faster, and we talk about how to leverage them. You have to treat your process like a business, not a hobby, and stay consistent.

Interviews With The Hunting Masters - Big game Hunting podcast
Hunting Media, Argentina, and Hunting Lessons Learned with Joe Eppele Show Notes: Former pro athlete Joe Eppele joins me here to share some epic hunting stories. He grew up in a logging town up in British Columbia and got into fishing at an early age. As Joe got older, his love of the outdoors took a bit of a backseat when he decided to pursue a football career. He started out at Washington State, then got drafted in the CFL. Once he retired, he became the Director of Business Development and a co-host for Wild TV, which is Canada's largest hunting and outdoor TV network. Joe and I get into the evolution of the hunting media industry and where it is today. Joe and I talk about our favorite gear, and we even wear the same boots and pants! We also both got stuck in Argentina right when COVID hit, and we talk about that whole ordeal. Joe also shares a couple of hunting stories, starting with his most memorable. Sheep season's right around the corner, and last year he had a pretty wild trip in northern BC. One morning, he saw a bunch of young rams, with a couple of legal ones in the mix. It was a day and a half's hike to get in, and he was only with a cameraman. Since it was only the two of them, hauling the ram he got on the way out was a whole process. Then, Joe shares a story of a hunt that taught him a lot about preparedness in the backcountry. He and his crew went in hard during an elk hunt and had some close calls with some bulls. One day, they woke up early to hike up a faraway mountain. They had planned on it only being a day, but they wound up in a nasty spot. They ate all of their food and drank all of their water to plan for the hike back out, but a bull chirped up, so they decided to wait. Just before last light, Joe gets a perfect shot on him at last light. They contacted their camp, and they showed up with a bottle of whisky. The story gets better from there. What's Inside: How the hunting media industry and social media have changed over the years. Stories about getting stuck in Argentina over Covid. Two of Joe's most memorable hunting stories.

Jason Courtney is one of the biggest real estate investors in the Saint Louis area. He's here to talk about sellers and how to do creative financing deals. Many people wonder why sellers would do something like a lease option or owner financing, but the truth is that there are advantages for everyone involved.

A lot of you how to find deals and buyers, but sometimes you need some private money to close on the deal.

Here, Rick Howell joins me to talk about raising private money and how to build some credibility behind you. Rick got started in the middle of the housing crisis and finding private money was the key to success in his house flip business.Rick and I talk about how to raise private money when you're just starting out and how you can use it to build and grow your own business.

I've been in real estate for 14 years, and I don't know why I haven't leaned on them more. Whether you're selling houses or vacant land, realtors are huge and very important to your business.

I'm back with Tom Krol, and we're talking about the fastest way to get to $100K per year with coaching. It's a lot easier than you think. Some people do coaching part-time as a side hustle and bring in $2,000 to $3,000 a month, which is phenomenal. We're also going to be talking about this in our upcoming Coach Marketing Workshop in Orlando on May 18th and 19th. Check out the link below for more information. We're doing it live and keeping it small, and we'll even show you how to get to $100K per month! The number one reason why Tom has such a high success rate with his students is because his business wasn't made in coaching coaches. He was an actual coach, and there's a huge difference. People want to learn from others who are doing exactly what they want to do, not from a person who just read all the books and teaches techniques. Tom and I dive into what makes a great coach and how to get your business off the ground. We also talk about why you need to dial in your messaging, know your customer, and position yourself as the solution to your target audience's problem.What's Inside:—How to get to 100K in a year through coaching.—How to position yourself as a problem solver.—Information on the upcoming Coach Marketing Workshop (Orlando, May 18th & 19th).
