Are you curious what goes on in a business coaching session? You’re about to find out.

One of my old college friends connected with me a few weeks back after hearing me interviewed on another person’s podcast and wanted to know if I thought he would be able to build a business that could generate enough income to allow him to…

  1. Give away half of his income
  2. Live on the mission field a significant part of the time

What do YOU think I told him?

So I asked my college friend Gary to come on the podcast for a live business coaching session – so that YOU could hear how we go about it, what is involved in the beginning steps of a business idea, and how you can start researching to see if it might work.

He wants to give half of his income away!????!!!??!?

Yep. That’s one of Gary’s goals – and I LOVE it. He’s just the kind of passionate follower of Christ that I want to get the fire in his soul that drives him to make a difference in the world THROUGH the income he generates.

It’s that generous heart of his I love, the desire to be a vessel through which God pours His abundance to help others, bless others, and bring them to a place that they can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This business coaching session is to show you how YOU can begin.

There is absolutely NOTHING complicated about researching a business idea. Anyone can do it. But not everyone WILL do it – because it takes work, determination, and a willingness to let the numbers speak for themselves. If it’s a great idea – then it’s a great idea. If it’s not. It’s not and you’re better off looking at something else.

In this first ever business coaching session I walk Gary through the idea generation phase, narrow in on a possible target service or product, and give him some homework regarding what he needs to do to verify the market need and establish exactly what his product might be like.

I hope you take the time to listen. This conversation is proof that anyone can do this business thing – if they are willing to do the work.
