I used to be stuck, my goals felt distant, and I wasn't sure how to bridge the gap. Then, this idea kept popping up: coaching. But honestly, it felt expensive.  "Is it really worth it?" I kept asking myself. In this class, I'm sharing a mindset shift that totally changed the game for me.  We'll break down why calling coaching an "expense" might be holding you back.  Instead, let's explore how to see coaching as an investment – an investment in yourself, your future, and your unstoppable potential. Show Notes: [02:22]#4 Coaching is not expensive, it's an investment that yields greater returns. [10:33]#5 Coaching is not about fixing weaknesses, coaching can help address weaknesses, but this is not its primary purpose. [15:09]#6 Coaching does not guarantee success. Success depends on the efforts and performance of the individual seeking it.

You know the feeling – you're a high performer, but something's holding you back. You're crushing it, but there's this nagging sense that you could be achieving so much more.

Let me tell you, some of those traditional beliefs about coaching can be real roadblocks.  In this episode, I'm busting some myths and explaining why coaching is exactly what you need to shift into high gear.

As a coach, I want to share some key points for anyone getting coaching or thinking about hiring a coach. If you're considering a coach, I'll tell you what to look for and what to expect. Coaching isn't just about getting information. Every good coach has knowledge, but there's more to it. Some people think coaching is just about information, but that's not true. Information is easy to find online for free. As a coach, I help you apply information, stay accountable, and make smart decisions. Let's dive into it. Show Notes: [05:50]#1 A thing that a coach brings you that is not information is a deeper understanding.  [13:25]#2 Coaching is about accurate implementation.  [17:19]#3 Accountability.  [23:14] Recap — Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Fre

In today's masterclass, I want to help you understand the essential assets that need to accompany the motivation or mental activation many people often seek. While it's good to seek motivation or emotional drive to achieve your goals, motivation alone isn't enough. I'll explain the additional tools that will make motivation truly effective, so when you engage, it actually helps you reach your goals.  Many people today get motivated but lack the proper foundation, making motivation feel like wasted fuel. Let's dive in. Show Notes: [03:15]#1 Master the fundamentals and the principles.  [12:14]#2 Be just as invested in learning and gaining insights as you are in acting and doing the work. [16:34]#3 Frustration is the gap between what you are aiming to do and what you are actually doing.

In today’s masterclass, I'm talking about the term "casuals," which I first heard in sports discussions on X, the social media platform I use for commentary. "Casuals" refers to people who aren't as dedicated or serious fans compared to hardcore followers. For example, a hardcore NFL fan might call someone who only watches the Super Bowl a casual, implying they shouldn't discuss the sport deeply.  Today, I'll explain why we should appreciate casuals, especially if you're in marketing or sales, because they still add value and engagement. Show Notes: [04:12]#1 The casuals represent the masses of people.  [11:01]#2 What does any of this have to do with marketing? -Everything. [17:42]#3 If you are in marketing or sales, remember that casuals have green money just like the serious people have green money.  [22:29] Recap — Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1

In this episode, I'm emphasizing the importance of focusing on money-making activities, especially for salespeople and entrepreneurs who drive the business's income. It's crucial to spend most of your work time on tasks that generate revenue. While you might enjoy or excel at other tasks, if they don't make money, you can't focus on them all the time. To keep your business thriving, prioritize activities that bring in money.  Let's discuss why this is essential. Show Notes: [03:37]#1 What are the main activities that directly drive money in your business?  [09:54]#2 Set yourself up to do less of the activities that don't put money in your pocket and more of the stuff that does.  [15:59]#3 Know what your seed planting activities are and have them consistently baked into your schedule.  [19:48] Recap — Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens:

In this episode, I'm talking about how to create strategic partnerships. These partnerships help both you and the other person by sharing resources and skills.

In today's episode, we explore the concept of deadlines, defined as the date or time by which tasks must be completed. Deadlines are crucial for enhancing productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, and overall quality of performance and life. If you aren't using deadlines, you're missing out on these significant benefits.  Stay tuned as we dive into why deadlines are so powerful. Show Notes: [03:28]#1 Parkinson's law states tasks expand or contract based on the amount of time given for their completion.  [08:55]#2 One of the best ways to get things done is having to do things.

The concept of balance has several meanings. One definition is creating a pleasing mix of elements, and another is bringing things into harmony. These definitions fit today's topic, showing that balance can mean different things based on context.  By understanding these definitions, you'll see how balance relates to people and things working together, which is what we'll discuss today. Show Notes: [03:44]#1 Balance is not an even distribution amongst all participants.  [11:51]#2 What balance actually means is not equality amongst all units, it means proper distribution that adds up to 100%. [20:42]#3 Balance is always measured against, again, desired outcomes.

Today, we're talking about the power of storytelling. Whether you're trying to connect with people on a personal or professional level, telling stories is a universal approach that works with any audience. It doesn't matter who you are or who you're trying to reach—storytelling can make a big difference.  Let's dive in and explore how you can use stories to make stronger connections. Show Notes: [03:19]#1 Information, while useful, is generally boring and forgettable just on its own. [12:07]#2 Stories are more easily followed than it is to follow information.

Execution means actually doing what you plan or decide to do. Innovation is about coming up with new ideas or ways of doing things. Both are good, but guess what?

Show Notes: [04:09]#1 Most people go looking for a brand new idea when the old established idea will be perfectly fine for them.  [16:22]#2 No idea is worth anything if you will not follow it through to completion.  [30:54]#3 Most people can and will be lured around by their noses, always chasing the bright shiny objects.  [33:40] Recap Episoded Mentioned: 2747: Old ≠ Bad, New ≠ Better — Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://dri

Today, I'll outline the high-level steps you need to follow to sell books as an independent author.

So, let's use books as our example canvas, but keep in mind that these principles are adaptable to any product or service you're selling.
