359: The Business of Coaching: Tomas Keenan


Listen Later

One common failure of coaches is in the business arena. Many of us love our coaching work, but we make costly mistakes in running our businesses successfully. My guest today shares his journey to entrepreneurship and how he learned to love the business of business. Join us to learn more!

Tomas Keenan is best known for his humble beginnings and lengthy career as a custom car audio installer. He is the epitome of a technician-turned-COO and has turned his learning into a profession as a successful coach for other industry leaders and business owners. He works with entrepreneurs who don’t want to be average but want to crush seven-figure plus businesses. He has been featured in Forbes, Mobile Electronics Magazine, CE Outlook, CEO Blog Nation, Fit Small Business, The Startup Growth, The Goodmen Project, and numerous blogs and podcasts. Tomas is a sought-after public speaker, two-time bestselling author, and Step It Up Entrepreneur Podcast host. He states that the key to his success is making progress every day, regardless of how small it may be. His latest book is Unf*ck Your Business: Stop Business Self-Sabotage by Getting Clear on Your Core Values NOW

Show Highlights:

  • How working with a coach changed everything for Tomas
  • How Tomas’ first business failure led to his greatest business lesson
  • Why “working harder” is NOT the path to business success
  • How the birth of Tomas’ first child forced him to reassess his life and business goals
  • How to focus on operations and time management to be more productive:
  • “What am I worth per hour?” (yearly income divided by 2080)
  • “What time am I spending on activities below that dollar amount?”
  • What to do if your hourly worth is too low and needs to change
  • How to decide what tasks you should hire others to do
  • How Tomas has seen Aha moments for his clients
  • Why it’s valuable to get clarity on your genius work–and the genius work of others
  • How to take a big-picture view of which activities to do and which to delegate
  • Common areas where small business owners fall short around hiring, vision, culture, and values
  • A look at Tomas’ book and podcast
