Today’s show is all about business success. We are weaving thoughts about success concerning freedom in your life, which can make all the difference in creating the life you want. The foundation for the freedom you crave is a financial plan that works, and my guest today has the answers for you. Join us to learn more!

Brian Bogaert is the owner of Next Level Success Coaching. Brian is absolutely passionate about the value of freedom because working for years in corporate America brought him a lack of freedom that “crushed his soul.” He loves helping people reach their financial goals, and he’s totally dedicated to education and empowerment to help people reach the next level of success. In today’s conversation, we’ll look at ways to empower ourselves in creating a financial plan for freedom that allows us to step into our work in the fullest way and not be cut off at the knees when things like global pandemics occur. We want to engage in work that lights us up, but we need a plan in place that opens us up for financial freedom. Brian shares his expertise, mindset, and practical tips to create your financial freedom plan!

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.
