Over time “environment ALWAYS wins”
sit with it for a moment,
over time “environment ALWAYS wins”
If you are anything like me deep in your core there is a response that sounds and feels a bit like this “F*CK!!”
It resonates, I, you, we KNOW it is true…yet over and over again we attempt to create change without addressing our environments….hmmm
Lets be specific the environment you have created (primarily unconsciously) has gravity, it keeps pulling you back, pulling you back…pulling you back….you know what I mean. To break free of the GRAVITY of your environment takes fuel, Momentum, support and a destination. Think the Apollo space missions the VAST majority of that “Atlas” rocket was nothing more than fuel.
But we may have the rocket in front of the environment…Let’s back up a bit…don’t worry take a deep breath lets consider your environment includes YOUR:
Beliefs
Relationships (Look at these closely, consider
Primary
Kids
Co workers
Business partners
Friends
Mentors
SELF
Career
Physical body
Home
Office
Your car(s)
interior/exterior operating condition
Clothing/wardrobe
The food in your house/fridge
Your financial situation
All of these aspects of your environment YOU created (consciously or unconsciously) but if you are really, truly, completely committed to transforming in your life consider that “over time environment ALWAYS wins…what will each of these environments “Win” at??
Well here is a short list:
Maintaining the Status Quo
Triggering and reinforcing old beliefs some supportive some limiting
Reinforcing what you have believed you are worthy and capable of
Quite literally who you believe you are in the world and what you are capable of
So what have you been doing to influence your environment? What are you BEING and DOING to raise your vibration, transform your environment internally and externally?
Who have you been hanging out with?
What have you been learning?
Where have you been spending time?
How have you been moving your body?
What are you applying that is NEW in your world?
the truth is that you MUST strategically shift your environments to support the transformation you are in the midst of creating. If not “over time your OLD EXISTING ENVIRONMENTS WIN”
You know that it is true, you have experienced it before…more than once if we are to tell the truth
That is the exact reason that I designed “Creation Circles” to support you OVER TIME to influence, recreate and grow into new environments that support your vision.
What is a Creation Circle? Think personal development pod, conscious support group, high level mastermind and transformation all rolled into one!
Participating in a Creation Circle will transform your life.
Hang out with that statement for a moment or two…
Participating in a creation Circle will transform your life.
This is no bs marketing pitch, this is TRUTH, REALITY in fact a PROMISE (of course you must DO your part!)
So how can I be SO sure that Creation Circle’s can change your life? Simple because being a member of The Creator’s Code is one of the most powerful ways to impact and influence your environments over a SUSTAINED period of time.
It impacts the environment of:
Friendship
Support
Vision
Resources
Expereince
Internally
Beliefs
Personal vibration
Physical health
The structure of Creation Circle’s is designed in alignment with science of real and lasting change as researched and quantified in the amazing book Change or Die by Alan Deutchman. Which in a very brief nutshell can be summarized like this. 90 % of people fail (even with their LIFE on the line) to make the changes that they want in the absence of intervention and immersion in LONG TERM support (18 to 24 months).
So if you are ready to REALLY create what is most important in your life and reap the benefits of Being a Creator’s Code Member,
Live and face to face support from a group of people who stand for the best in you even when you do not see it yourself
Professionally lead and guided, experiential personal development processes that focus on the APPLICATION of what you know, you will LIVE it and create the RESULTS for real in your life!
Be a leader in your life, family, community and world, You are taking a stand as a CONSCIOUS Creator at a time that is VITAL in the worlds history.
So bring your greatness, your vision and your capacity to create join us, taking a stand for yourself and humanity!
This is a question that every coach in training, every coach who is “slowly moving” into the coaching domain and every person calling themselves a coach who is not actually at a sustainable level or is not on track to being sustainable must ask themselves.
There are some harsh truths that must be told about the coaching industry that are not being talked about enough.
1) MOST coaches are starving, median income is 25,000 +/- and average income of 48,000
2) Most coaches are “stuck” in a flawed business model called “Time for Money” and even if you “succeed” you are still stuck with significant demands on your time and significant limits on your income and freedom.
3) Traditional business approaches do NOT work for coaches, think about it, one of the most intimate, transparent and authentic relationships under the sun. Traditional “selling” simply does not fit, anyone with a clue can sense structured scarcity, and it does not lead to trust and authenticity.
4) The gold rush and the coaching industry have some strong similarities more people made money selling shovels and supplies than people made finding gold. In the coaching world more people are making money selling shovels (tools, tactics, certifications, strategies, sales funnels, product launches) than there are coaches making great money actually coaching front line clients.
Not telling the truth about these issues and figuring out how YOU will address them in your coaching and training business will definitely keep you a coach “wanna be.”
So what does it really take to thrive in the coaching industry? What does it take to be a coach “breaking free?”
Well that is the $64,000 question, which if answered properly would be about a $15,000 raise for the average coach ; )
While I have had reasonable long term success in this field, been at it 25 years, the last decade have averaged strong 7 figures, I still do not purport to have the answers to this complex question. That being said there are a few factors that have really supported me and other coaches with as well.
The fundamentals of breaking free.
There are 5 fundamental steps that each coach must go through.
1) Commitment: Get all in or all out, half assed does NOT work in this business
2) Support: personal, and professional including BUSINESS structure/design
3) Develop or buy a REAL business model: It MUST fully integrate all 6 elements.
a. Lead Generation
b. Conversion
c. Delivery
d. Continuity
e. Integrated Product Suite
f. Viral Coefficient
4) Systems: Technology and automated processes at EVERY step and stage of the business model
5) Connect & Collect: Contribute value, build relationships, ask for the sale and count the money!
Lets be clear that entire books have been and will continue to be written about each and every aspect of these 5 stages. It is an unbelievable amount to successfully navigate. The truth is that the vast majority of coaches do not have the context or bandwidth to actually learn integrate and apply ALL of it.
It is overwhelming when you start looking at it. Which is part of why so many coaches struggle with what seems like a never ending learning curve. It is also why so many cope by just settling for the old routine which seems like it ‘SHOULD” work which is, “I don’t want some big practice, I just need a few clients that will replace my old job income” and this framing keeps them from building a business that actually works, and keeps them perpetually hunting for “Just a few more clients” and one more certification that will make my practice complete.
If the post resonated with you and require more support, or perhaps you have found yourself thinking yourself “I wish there was a way for me to just focus on what I love, the coaching, the facilitating, the process of actually being in service to people, without ALL the STUFF” then I have an offer of free support for you.
The following link will take you to a free video training that outlines more details about the 6 elements of a business model and much more.

The following video is a powerful distinction between keeping agreement and personal accountability, I believe that there is a “Myth” that runs rampant in coaching about holding people accountable. Understanding this distinction will simplify your life, increase your capacity to create and support you to direct your energy more powerfully!
For the purposes of this particular rant, I have invented a new word, watch and find out what it is.
Gotta Love the freeze frame Youtube chooses : )
