Why my Porsche was my biggest mistake...
I dreamed about owning a Porsche for nearly a decade.
I remember walking into the dealership years earlier…
The sales rep took me for a test drive, then asked how I planned to pay.
"Cash," I told him confidently.
"When?"
"In about 15 years..."
He was clearly not impressed!
Can’t blame him to be fair…
I was all talk, no wallet!
Funny thing is…
It only took me 7 years to prove him wrong.
At age 27, I walked back into that same dealership.
(Different sales rep, thankfully.)
And I paid for a Porsche with cash...
I actually look happy in the attached pic, right?
But the smile on my face didn’t last long…
- Because clients started treating me differently.
- The gyms where I was training other trainers started cancelling my contracts.
- And nobody seemed happy for me… they were triggered.
One manager even slashed my tires... costing me $5,000 to fix.
(Couldn't prove it was him, but still...)
Eventually, I traded that Porsche for a Fiat Punto!
And something interesting happened...
When I stopped spending money trying to look successful...
And started reinvesting in myself and my skills instead...
That's when I actually BECAME successful.
Which brings me back to what we discussed yesterday...
This week you're going to get bombarded with Black Friday deals...
New clothes. Gadgets. Watches. Bags.
And while I'm not saying you should never treat yourself…
If your coaching business isn't where you want it to be right now...
Maybe it's worth thinking differently about where you put your money this Black Friday.
See, it's easy to think buying "stuff" will make you happy.
Kinda like my Porsche…
But the happiness is normally temporary.
On the other hand…
Investing in yourself has very little downside.
If you invest in systems that help you get high-paying clients whenever you need them…
And in skills that let you actually help clients transform their lives?
That's potentially limitless ROI from a one-time investment.
Because unlike material possessions...
The ability to generate clients and income on demand?
That stays with you forever.
Which is why…
To help you take advantage of Black Friday and invest in something that actually generates returns…
I'm offering a special opportunity to get $1,500+ coaching clients coming to you every week — without needing an audience or posting on social media.
And for the next 4 days…
You can get access for 50% OFF…
For all the details, go here next:
While others spend their Black Friday budget on stuff that loses value the moment they buy it...
You'll be investing in a system that pays for itself with just ONE new client.
Then keeps paying you back month after month.
That Porsche taught me a valuable lesson...
Instead of buying things to look successful, I focused on actually BECOMING successful.
I invested years creating and perfecting systems to get coaching clients consistently.
That's exactly what went into building the COA Training System.
And now you can skip all that trial and error...
And get straight to building a coaching business that generates consistent clients and income...
Even if nobody knows who you are right now.
