Are you considering working with a coach but still on the fence? Do you know deep down that you need a coach, but you're hesitant to take the leap? Perhaps you're not ready to invest the money or unsure if it's worth it. In a fascinating conversation with Sue and Coach Chase Tolleson, we explore the doubts and hesitations many people have when it comes to coaching. Chase emphasizes that true lasting impact comes from investing in our health and personal development. These areas, although sometimes perceived as luxuries, can create generational change and freedom in our lives. By asking ourselves why we're resistant to coaching, we can uncover the areas in our lives where we crave the most liberation. Coaching is more than just a financial investment; it's an investment in ourselves and our future. So, if you find yourself on the fence about coaching, take a moment to reflect on your resistance. Consider the freedom and growth that await you on the other side. Remember, a good coach can guide you towards true lasting impact, helping you unlock your fullest potential and achieve the life you deserve. Don't let doubts hold you back any longer. Take that leap of faith and empower yourself with the support and guidance of a coach like Chase Tolleson. You won't regret it.

Welcome to another episode of the Small Steps BIG Wins podcast! Today’s special guest is Dave Homyak. Dave’s first entrepreneurial project was an immediate success, replacing his 6-figure Engineer’s income in less than a year by purchasing short term rentals in one of the best markets out there – the Smoky Mountains. While the Smoky Mountains were an especially hot market at the time, part of Dave’s success came from his ability to make well-researched and calculated decisions. He didn’t live anywhere near the Smoky Mountains for example – but he knew that was the market to go for. In the years that followed, Dave became a licensed real estate agent so that he could help others find high-performing properties of their own, then coach them through the harsh learning curve of STR property management.  Dave’s natural student-like enthusiasm for embracing out new and exciting opportunities has allowed him to expand his entrepreneurial portfolio beyond real estate with the creation of his company, The Rockstar VA’s.  How Dave used short term rental real estate to leave his W-2 He is a conservative guy and what risk looks like for him. What caused Dave to start a virtual assistant company Find out what the BIG vision is for Dave’s company, The Rockstar VAs Why spending thousands of dollars on coaches is worth it.
