When you're struggling in business or just starting out, the last thing you think you need is a coach. You think you can't afford it, you're not ready, or you should wait until you have better results first.

But every time someone feels like that, that's actually when they need a coach the most.

Most people see coaching as something you do later. Once things are going well, the money is there, and you've "made it" enough to deserve help. But that's not really how it works.

Coaching isn't there to reward you for being successful. It's there to stop you from wasting years trying to get there on your own.

Because the real cost isn't paying for a coach. The real cost is everything you lose while you're trying to figure it out by yourself.

In fact, coaching isn't even a cost. When you have the right coach, it starts paying off quickly, and it becomes one of the best investments you'll ever make in yourself.

How do you know when it's the right time to get help instead of waiting it out? How did my guest build a top-performing career as a blind sales professional in one of the toughest industries there is? What can we learn from his success story?

In this episode, entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and bestselling author of If I Can Do It, You Can Do It, Patrick Engasser, joins me to talk about mindset, opportunity, and why getting the right guidance early changes everything.

You'll learn why the people who grow fastest aren't the smartest, they're just the ones who stop trying to do it alone.

Things You'll Learn In This Episode

"I can't afford a coach" is usually backwards Is it really about money, or about how much time, stress, and lost momentum it's costing you to figure everything out the slow way?

The hidden mindset shift that unlocks performance What changes when you stop seeing your weaknesses as liabilities and start using them as your most powerful differentiators?

How people actually "create" luck Are some people actually luckier, or are they just better trained to notice and act on the chances everyone else ignores?

Success becomes addictive once you start helping others Why does coaching, leadership, and mentorship often feel more rewarding than personal wins, and how does that change the way you build your business?
