Are you an entrepreneur trying to balance “I love my business” with “but my family gets in the way of it”?  We know it feels uncomfortable to say it outloud however it's the truth that many small business owners feel.  This topic is a bit different than our usual content but we know that a large number of our listeners may be struggling with juggling long hours at work and finding energy at the end of the day.   In this episode, Stu Brauer (WTF Gym Talk) candidly speaks about the factors that led to his recent divorce, how he and his wife are still living amicably and the conversations that were leading up to the decision to split. We cover topics like when it’s time to seek counseling (it’s not when you think), establishing expectations with your significant other and living your truth in order to be fulfilled in life and business. If you’ve listened to Stu speak you know that he brings the realness without apology. We respect Stu so much for the transparency he brings to this show to speak on a topic that we know many may be ashamed to say out loud.  Podcast Resources: Are you ready to Turn Pro?

What if we told you that you can turn people AWAY and make MORE money in the process? If you are a coach that is taking on every single client that comes your way, there is a good chance you are doing one or two of these people a disservice. What do we mean by this? If you have even one client that makes you drag your feet in the morning you could be doing a better job. In this episode we discuss how it is possible to be both effective for, and completely fulfilled by, your clients. Larry and Dr. Sean breakdown when and why it is essential to say ‘No’ to a client that is not a good fit. We discuss creating your ideal client, building trust and negotiating power by being transparent and when you should refer to another coach. If you truly want to help everybody you meet, get ready to expose yourself and turn some people away! Podcast Resources: Are you ready to Turn Pro?
