A coach who spent $300,000 on programs and mentors, many of which failed, explains why he blames himself, not them. He says the coaching industry is full of ineffective providers, and his mission is to raise its standards. Stop complaining about results. Own every decision.
I paid for programs before with no results. Let's actually talk about this. So first of all, if you've ever invested in stuff and you've had a shitty experience, it was a shitty program, whatever, I genuinely feel for you. And I don't talk about this a lot, but here's the mission I'm on: to raise the fucking standards in the business coaching industry. Because there genuinely is a lot of shit and people that don't give a flying fuck. However, or maybe I should say, and if you dropped $5K on a coaching program and that didn't go the way that you wanted to and you're still bent out of shape over that, you're still bitching and complaining over that, you've lost the fuckin' plot. And it's because the plot is called extreme goddamn ownership. If you think for a second in the $300,000 that I've invested into coaches, programs, mentors, agencies, etc., that I haven't had a suboptimal experience, you're cooked. I sure friggin' have. I've been sold into programs before that I never should have been sold into. I've invested into agencies where I totally set all of the money on fire. Like, I've 100% had that stuff happen. But when it does happen, guess what I do? I point all 10 fucking fingers back at myself because I'm like, well, who made that decision? I'm resilient enough to have that happen and take another step. And I take that step having learned so I can take a better step in the future. You can't have success without failure. These experiences aren't roadblocks on the journey, they're part of the journey.
