I’ve always said great musicians don’t just play notes; they hear the music differently than the rest of us. They have "ear training." In this final installment of our coaching series, Jenni and I show you how to develop that same level of acuity for your coaching conversations. If you want to move past being a content creator and start becoming a master of results, you have to stop looking at what your clients are doing and start listening to the beliefs they are holding. I’m walking you through my exact plan of attack for dismantling the invisible architecture of a client’s...

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...

One of the most common dilemmas facing coaches today is the struggle between being a "teacher" of information and a true "partner" in transformation.

Today we look at why the age of information is officially over, how to transition from simply gatekeeping content to producing real results, and the foundational distinctions that separate an average coach from...
info_outlineIs your cash machine leaking? Are you just focused on making money, only to watch it disappear? Today we’re continuing the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series, where we’ve been bringing back some of our most impactful past episodes. This one with my good friend Mel Abraham is all about the crucial money conversation you just may be ignoring (but can’t afford to!) and is not only essential listening, but something so important that you need to listen again even if you heard it the first time.
In this episode, Mel reveals what you need to know to get your money working for you, because it’s just about making the most money possible, but what matters is what you do with it! When this happens, you don’t just have a Business By Design, but you have a LIFE by design!
Mel will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year! I don't know when the next in-person one will be, which is why we wanted to pull out all the stops and make this the biggest and best ever, so if you want to see Mel Abraham and all of our other amazing speakers rock the stage and blow minds at BBD Live 2025, go to www.jameswedmore.com/tickets ASAP to see if tickets are still available)!
