Let me tell you a little story about my coach. In 2019, I just finished up with a business coach that had cost me a significant sum of money I'm talking multiple 10s of 1000s. And what I'd signed up for is to learn the finer points of business. That was the main thing I wanted to get out of it. Like the structure the the processes, the system that was particularly drawn to a couple of things, the marketing and the numbers. Two of the areas that well, one of them the marketing, I hadn't been consistent and wasn't getting the results that I wanted. And the numbers Well, quite frankly, I'm not a numbers person, I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. So the last thing I want to do is focus on numbers, but also knew I had to. So after that programme, I learned so many incredible things I developed so many of my coaching skills, my marketing went to a whole other level. But so many of the things that I needed in terms of structure in terms of being organised in terms of the actual strategies and processes that were going to take my business to the next level, I just didn't get and I was lost. I didn't know what to do, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to invest in another coach. Particularly one that was going to give me what I needed, because I hadn't been able to get the results with a huge investment already. And it just wasn't something that my wife and I were going to be able to do. So I was just in a place where I did not know what I was going to do next. And they were some dark dark days. I wasn't earning enough money for to meet the bottom lines of our bottom lines for our family. And I was feeling very much like a failure. I was blaming myself. And I really didn't know where to turn. And there were some moments there where I was just wondering, like, I can literally remember curled up in a ball mill Andrew floor, bawling was out going, what do I do now. And it's funny, what shows up. In those moments, when you're pretty much ready to give up or you have given up you don't know what to do. And that is when my current coach fell into my lap. So we'd done some programmes. A few years previously, we'd always gotten really well we'd helped each other out. And I can't even remember whether she reached out to me or I reached out to her or what it was. But she was there for me at a time when I needed help. I needed someone there to support me. I needed someone to guide me out of the darkness that I created for myself. And slowly started piecing together not just my business but my life. And the most important thing was that I was able to talk with her one on one and get strategies that worked. Now the interesting thing happened.

In a way I was getting bombarded with so many different strategies that I couldn't keep But, but an interesting thing happened when I made a decision after about six months, that wow, some of these things that I've been acting on, I've been really working, what if I did every single thing that she showed me how to do. And so I did, that I started implementing interesting thing happened. I started making consistent money, I started improving all of my processes and systems, and knowing where my money was at, and seeing it increase, and then being able to take whatever steps to continue to expand, to be able to be comfortable in those moments where things do dip, because it does happen. That's life. And I can tell you, it's definitely business. And she was able to empower me to have the skills and the strength and the courage to get through any moment. Even the struggles, what business started improving my relationship with my wife, improved my relationship, my kids improved because of this holistic approach to help me with everything I needed. And I don't say this lightly, it's changed my whole life, saved my life. And now, the results I'm getting have gone to a whole other level, as she's helped me to now expand and level up. And I was just even thinking just before I hit record on this, the level of certainty I have the excitement I have for all of my content and my programmes that I've never had before. That now when I produce something new, there's no longer in doubt about Will this work. It's like, this is fucking awesome. I love it. And I cannot wait to share it with the world. Instead of trying to convince myself and the people that I'm sending it out to that it's good. I just know it is. And that's the certainty and the empowerment that she's given me and I cannot thank her enough. So today's podcast is a tribute to her capreol Ricard, you are a fucking superstar, and I cannot thank you enough. And yeah, just heartfelt thanks for all that you've done for me, for my family and for my life. And

there aren't too many words, I can actually put in it just to say how much you mean to me and how much I love our relationship and everything that you've been able to help me with. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. And for those of you who are out there, who what specific business help them, let me know and I'd love to point you in her direction because she is awesome. I'll speak to you all next week.
