  • 77. How to Choose the Right Business Coach

    Welcome back to another episode of Life After Corporate! Today is another solo episode and I am recording this on Thanksgiving weekend and Black Friday is well underway. Along with sales from your favorite online stores, you're likely seeing some emails from coaches you follow with some Black Friday deals and you may be tempted to sign up for a couple of new courses or programs that are on sale.

    And since I've been at this business for 10 years now and have consumed a few online courses, mastermind programs, and have been part of incubators and accelerators, I have a distinct and a very personal point of view when it comes to hiring a business coach or enrolling in an online program. I'm talking about knowing when to walk away and save your money to invest back into your business, and when to go all in. So for today, I want to make it easy for you to make the right choice for you and your business for where you are right now in your business growth lifecycle. I hope that these tips will help you choose the right business coach for you -- one who will guide you to the next level of what you desire most in your business right now.

    Welcome back to another episode of Life After Corporate! Today, we're having a very important discussion with Julie Thomas, the CEO of Value Selling Associates, which is a global sales training company that offers a very practical methodology for selling on value not on price.

  • 71. Master High Ticket Sales with Chris Kenney

    Welcome back to another episode of Life After Corporate and our series, The Great Resignation Meets The Great Do-Over!

    Today, we are sitting down with a very special guest, Chris Kenny. Chris is a sales mastery coach, a millionaire maker and all around super fun guy to know and to have on your side if you are breaking through the limits of your own mindset. According to Chris, if you're not making multiple, six or seven figures, it's not your marketing, but rather, it's your mindset. You don't need a big team, you don't need complicated sales funnels, you don't need millions of followers on your social media feed, no fancy website, and you don't need to sacrifice your time, your energy on late nights. In fact, Chris made his first million working 20 to 25 hours a week.

    So listen up my friends, because this is going to be a really fun episode. Chris lets us in on how shifting your mindset can help you close deals and the importance of breaking your current money rules. Lastly, he also talks about the reason why we cannot price high is not because of a money problem, but rather an asking problem.
