Learning About Setting Goals
The Coach Approach Ministries Podcast
In this episode, Brian Miller and Brian Tracy kick off January’s theme—Escaping the Tyranny of the Urgent—by looking back at Brian’s 2025 goal list (10 goals… 3 achieved… baseball Hall of Fame, real life: “ouch”). They explore what a “failed” goal year can teach you: you can’t predict what’s coming, God opens doors you didn’t even know existed, and the real win isn’t perfect outcomes—it’s faithful work and healthy relationships. Key Highlights Brian admits he set 10 public goals for 2025 and hit 3, then uses that “miss” as a learning lab rather than a...

494 Simple, Complicated, Complex
The Coach Approach Ministries Podcast
In this episode, Brian and Chad Hall unpack the “Simple–Complicated–Complex” lens for leaders and coaches—how to tell which kind of situation you’re facing and how to respond differently so you stop over-analyzing the unknowable and start learning your way forward.

Key Highlights
-
The 3 N’s Framework: Networking (they know you), Nurturing (you know them), and Negotiating (you work together)—a clear progression for building a client base.
-
Fit your strengths: Networking doesn’t mean schmoozy cocktail parties; it can be teaching, podcasting, or community events—whatever authentically connects you.
-
Patience is vital: Like farming, you can’t force growth; you can only create the conditions—plant, water, and cultivate relationships.
-
Tools shift by context: A podcast might be networking for CAM but nurturing for a local firm; the purpose defines the behavior.
-
Bring your team along: Involve your staff early so clients build trust with the organization, not just with you personally.
Takeaways
-
Map your client journey. Identify who’s on your radar, who you’re networking with, who you’re nurturing, and who you’re negotiating with.
-
Track without strangling. Systems help—but don’t overmanage relationships; stay organic and human.
-
Do what you enjoy. Choose networking and nurturing methods that energize you so consistency feels natural.
-
Partnership multiplies momentum. Pair with people whose strengths complement yours—networkers, nurturers, or closers.
-
Relationships create readiness. The best clients often come from long-term nurturing; trust builds quietly before opportunity emerges.
