I flipped hundreds of houses and purchased dozens of rental properties. I then started a coaching business and helped hundreds of clients buy their first rental properties. After 5 years of coaching investors, I fell in love with the coaching and education industry and started helping clients start coaching and consulting businesses of their own.  I live in Colorado with my wife and two daughters. I spend most of my time with my family, working on my business, and doing fun stuff like yoga, kickboxing, parkour, and frisbee golf. I love to play video games (Counterstrike mainly), drink margaritas, smoke a good cigar, drink delicious coffee, and goof off with my friends.

The coaching industry is struggling, and in this video, I explain why – plus what you can do to adapt and thrive.  While a small group of top coaches are raking in big money, most are barely making it.  I’ll break down why this is happening and what you can do to avoid getting left behind. _________________ I help creators publish books to get more customers.
