Need a pep talk? How about a strategic action plan? You just might need a dose of Dudeman!

My service is exceptional whether you're just starting out in IM, or you're a seasoned warrior.


I haven’t had many mentors in my life, and as a result I’ve been a weathered student of hard knocks university. Whether it’s in life and in business, you can approach something new by trying things randomly, or you can build upon the knowledge of those who have already succeeded. I can say from experience that the latter is cheaper, faster, and more productive.


So let me ask you…


• Are you having trouble standing out?

• Making sales?

• Bringing in more clients?

• Do marketing and sales wear you down? As in, you don’t like it, you feel it’s shady, and you also kind of suck at it?

• Do you know that your business is waning? And that if you don’t do something soon, your clients are gonna dump you for your competitors.

• Are your profit margins shrinking? And you know you need to fix it without breaking the bank.


That’s a tough situation to be in. You know why? Because everyone tries to get out of it in the same way.


You’ll ramp up your service offerings. You’ll lower your prices. You’ll advertise, and try to get your stuff in front of as many people as possible. Even though you hate it or suck at it, you’ll force yourself to be in “sales mode”. The world doesn’t know about your great products and services? Man, screw those guys. You’ll make them know about your stuff, whether they like it or not.


Sound familiar?


Well, let me tell you a something. The problem isn’t that your services aren’t good enough or cheap enough or advertised enough. The problem is that people aren’t interested enough in YOU.


You need to have good stuff, yes. You also need to provide good service, be professional, and know what you’re doing. But the marketplace is filled with good, professional experts who never make a dime. Being good at what you do is not enough.


You want to stand out and actually increase revenue? Then it’s all about You.


Not sure how to become more likable and interesting in a way that will actually drive sales? Well, that’s where I come in.


Success in business today revolves around being a personality instead of an average, unremarkable listing in a phonebook, or a Google search.


Success comes from not selling products, but instead selling the stories behind the products . Sharing true stories that have the feel of fiction, and that engaged first so that they could sell later. People buy with their emotions, so you must tell stories that people are able to see themselves as being a part of… and are willing to buy to remain a part of.


Success comes from gaining fans, not creating customers.


I can help you do that.


Dudeman’s Coaching plan: How we’ll work together


We don’t want to make you a celebrity. (You probably don’t believe that’s possible anyway.) But we do want to make you famous among your niche— to make you loved and respected and interesting to a relatively small group in the corner of the world or on the internet. Maybe a lil of both. We want a minor group of devoted people who resonate strongly with you, who will sing your praises far and wide, and who are eager to work with you.


Here’s what that looks like. Here’s what I'll help you do:


• Develop your own story, as if you were a character in a novel. People rally behind great characters, and great characters all have a series of attributes similar to the onesyou have right now and/or that I can help you develop. Think you’re not interesting enough? Think again. You are…to the right people.


• Build a reputation. Most people who sell stuff can’t claim that their customers would ever grab a drink with them, but we want you to be so valuable to your clients, that they’d have no objection to running into you outside of business.


• Proudly alienate the wrong people. Yeah, you want to do this. You want people who aren’t right for you to walk away from you. Think of it like being crazy for red m&m’s…you scour the bag only interested in taking the red ones…and throw away the rest. With your business, you actually want the wrong people to leave you.


• Reward the right people. Most people think about how they can make the most money in their business, which is to say, “how I can take the most?” I believe in flipping this around. How can you give the very best stuff to your people? How can you give above and beyond? Because here’s where the social proof comes from: the more you give to people and the bigger problems you solve for them, the more they’ll give back to you.


• Be Remarkable. You must dare to stand out, and make a difference. As we work together, I’ll keep urging you to find ways to make not only your life better, but the lives of those around you better.


• Challenge your assumptions. I continually work on all of the above, but this bullet point is like my nemesis. I always have to work on this. In addition to helping you move toward your goals, we’ll also work on moving those goals closer to you. You do this by challenging your assumptions, and forging ahead. As my brother loves to say that “it’s all in the mindset.”


• Have fun. We’re entrepreneurs because we want freedom, so we’ll work together on claiming that freedom. I work hard in my business, but I also allow myself to enjoy it (from time to time). Making money is fleeting, but helping people is enduring.



Dudeman's personality is so dynamic, edgy, and powerful. He makes you think, and invites you to act. It's great to see more and more young entrepreneurs making such profound impacts in their communities.

That's nice, but I bet you want to hear more about what working with me will be like. Right?


Ok, here’s the technical side of our journey together:


• The calls are done over the web via Skype. I will do them over the phone if need be, but I believe it won’t be as productive as it would be if I could see you.


• This is coaching, not a boring college lecture. What’s more, the calls are usually fun, like we’re having a deep conversation over coffee. Or beer. Whatever metaphor you’d like since it’s your money.


• I’ll remind you about stuff you may be neglecting. This may not be fun, but it’s a great way of actually making people act and implement.


• There will be assignments between sessions. I don’t like the idea of homework, but I believe that you’ll appreciate getting results from our sessions more than you’d appreciate hanging back and possibly wasting my time, and your money. So I’m going to assign you a few to-dos at the end of each session that you’ll need to do before our next session. That way you’ll get better results.


• Between-session email support. Have questions between sessions? That’s what email is for! I’ll ask you to keep these reasonable in scope (there’s nothing quite like writing a novel via email to answer a seriously deep question), but otherwise feel free to email me as often as you’d like when you have questions or would like me to look at something for you.

Now for some proud alienation

Remember how I said that we’ll work on getting your wrong people to leave so that you’ll only work with the right people? Well, I do that too.

So, please don’t hire me…


… if you aren’t a “do-er.” I don’t want to waste my time, or your money if you never implement any of the strategies we talk about. You’re not going to do well if you half-ass or neglect what you’ve learned, and you’ll not only screw yourself, but me too potentially.

… if you’re greedy. The bottom line is important. But I’m looking to help my clients win as much as I win. If you aren’t devoted to making your customers’ and clients’ lives better or make them more kick-ass in some way, we’re not a good fit.

… if you expect me to do it for you. I’m a guide, and I care about your success and well-being, and I’ll help you to the best of my ability. But it’s your business, and your life. I only work with people who take full responsibility for making their lives better.

… if you don’t have a sense of humor. I’m going to give you the most value for your money, but I’m gonna also try to have some fun with it. If you’re totally serious all of the time, we’re not going to be a good fit.

… if you expect a quick fix. Building something new always takes time. It’s rare that someone will become an overnight success, and it’s nerve-wracking to work with clients who are desperate to make it happen RIGHT NOW. A shorter timeframe is better in most cases, and we’ll work to make things happen as quickly as possible… but PLEASE do not hire me if you’ve taken money out of your kids’ college fund to pay for our sessions and won’t be able to pay your rent if this doesn’t happen immediately for you. I’m serious about this one: PLEASE DO NOT HIRE ME IF YOU SEE COACHING AS A “MAGIC PILL”.

… if you’re inflexible. Successful entrepreneurs roll with the punches and adapt their approach as they go. You have to be willing to ditch your current direction and move in another if the wind starts blowing that way.

(Note: Flexibility is a fine line. While you want to be flexible, you don’t want to be weak or prone to the distracting “shiny object syndrome.”)

… and finally…if you are unwilling to fail. People who try new things fail. I won’t sugar-coat it; it’s a fact of life, as well as in business.


Other than that, we’re good to go!
