Jos Willard is a coach and consultant for coaches and the host of the Profit for Coaches podcast, a show specifically for coaches (and coaches-to-be) wanting to create a positive impact on the world around them while building a profitable and thriving coaching business. A graduate of the Robbins-Madanes Training Centre, the Relationship Coaching Academy, and the Rapid Coaching Academy, as well as a Book Yourself Solid® Licensed Professional, Jos has over 20 years of international experience as a coach, trainer, and mentor for entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and military operators as well as CEOs of multi-location clinics and international organizations.

Jos joins me today to discuss how he discovered the power of listening – even when he didn’t have all of the answers. He shares his experience while serving in the U.S. Army and how these experiences shaped who he is today. We discuss how Jos became comfortable with not knowing all of the answers to everyone’s questions or problems, why he decided to leave the Army, and what inspired him to become an entrepreneur. We discuss how he currently helps his clients break through the barriers that are standing in the way of their success. We also discuss his ‘Stop the Wheel’ project and how he helps entrepreneurs overcome ‘shiny object syndrome’ to focus on the things that will successfully help them move forward in life and business.

“I learned very quickly that the best thing I could do was to ask questions.” - Jos Willard

Steve Foster is the Founder of One Golden Nugget; an organization turned movement that collects and shares wisdom around the world. A former musician and songwriter, Steve has taken the stage with boy bands, managed acts on X-Factor, written hit records, and has been invited to Buckingham Palace to sip champagne with royalty. He’s run over 10 marathons, been on the front page of newspapers, and built a record label that, at one point, had six albums on the Top 40 charts.

He has also hit rock bottom on multiple occasions – and pulled himself back up by his bootstraps to try again.

Steve is a serial entrepreneur and the author of One Golden Nugget: A journey of self-discovery, sharing wisdom and dream making, a book that details how he discovered his ‘nugget’ and if his life was going to change…he first had to change himself.

In this episode, Steve reminisces on his very first business, Dreamscape, and the stress he felt while building a successful business at a young age. We discuss the challenges he faced while growing the business, how he leveraged his fear as a motivational tool, and how faith and believing in himself drove his success. We discuss the pivotal moments that led Steve to walk away from the company, his experience with depression, and how he picked himself back up by his bootstraps to start over. We also discuss Steve’s inspiration behind One Golden Nugget, how focusing on helping others often leads to success, and how he vets the people he connects and collaborates with in life and business.

“Failure is a massive part of the journey. You can’t move forward without it. It’s life’s greatest teacher.” - Steve Foster
