Yesterday I explained my secret to keeping clients for a decade as well as what my teachers in primary school said when I asked about how to pay taxes, should I start a business or work for someone else and if there are any risks to getting a credit card?

Speaking of them telling me to blow into the recorder and play HOT CROSS BUNS…

I was talking to Trish and here’s how our conversation went:

Trish the Dish: My 11-year-old daughter asked me how taxes work.

Me: Smart girl, what did you say?

Trish the Dish: To demonstrate, I gave her a box of Smarties and said she has to give me some. I know how much, but she has to guess herself and if she’s wrong… she goes to prison.

Me:

Me: *nods with approval*

‘Circle of Competence’

There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make things difficult. ~ Warren Buffett

Translation: Success is BORING.

On my pod I was talking about Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and a powerful mental model they follow.

Circle of Competence.

Here’s my spin on it.

Business coaches often make the mistake of making things hard.

They achieve success in their circle of competence… where their talents, their passions and their focus intersect.

Then they enter newfound murky waters for unnecessary change and make things difficult.

Example…

A business coach goes to local networking groups / events and creates a semi-consistent flow of prospects / coaching clients.

Then STOPS networking…

… Decides to run Facebook ads and goes all in on them.

Then decides webinars are the magic pill…

… Goes all in on online presentations.

Wonders why business is not working.

If having success with networking…

Get focused on networking and iterate / improve.

If having success with live events…

Get focused on live events and iterate / improve.

Business coaching isn’t a game of best on best…

… It’s a game of getting focused.

One of the biggest challenges you’ll have is:

Success is BORING.

If you picked up the phone and helped three business owners every single day….

… In 90 days, you wouldn’t be able to keep up.

I got started in the business coaching space in 2005.

21 years without material change or a shiny light to drag me away despite crazy and limitless opportunities placed in front of me.

Meaningful success is the same movie, three times a day…

… For years on end.

Sucks, I know.

Find your lane, go all in and stop pivoting.
