The Mind Your Business Podcast

Show Notes

If you are in the business of digital products, education, or coaching, you aren't just a content creator - you are in the business of solving problems and producing results. But I've learned that results rarely come from transferring more information; they come from the quality of the questions you ask. As we continue our special series on coaching, Jenni and I share the art of powerful questioning. We explore why most coaches stay stuck in "why" traps that lead to circular thinking, and how you can use the right questions, at the right time, to bypass a client's ego and spark real breakthroughs. From chunking down multi-layered problems to using the Sherlock Holmes method to detect hidden constraints, we're giving you the exact language to transform your coaching sessions into high-impact, elegant masterclasses in this one!

What the heck do you do you do when the thing that used to light you up just doesn't anymore? When you feel like you're staring into a future that looks like nothing but uncertainty and you can't figure out which direction to go? I brought back my friend and high-performance coach Brad Bizjack for one of the most honest, rich conversations we've ever had on this show. We share the real meaning of fulfillment, the trap that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout and delayed happiness, and what it actually looks like to architect a life on your own terms. This one is all about doing a "life audit" and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you! If this conversation resonates, Brad is running his free five-day life audit challenge starting October 19th called The Success Accelerator. Over 5 mornings, he'll walk you through identifying what you actually want across the three main arenas of life, uncovering the invisible beliefs and inner conflicts holding you back, and rewiring the operating system that's been running your life behind the scenes.
