Showing my age here, but I say yes! How about you?

I didn’t agree with all she said, but there sure was a lot that I did…

"Find out who you are. And do it on purpose."

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

"If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one."

"Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life."

"I believe that without God I am nobody, but that with God, I can do anything."

They didn’t wait for a fading business to die… they used its revenue, profit, and best people to build what came next.

Tomorrow (Tuesday the 25th) at 2:20 PM EST, I’m sitting down with Marc Hawk , former CEO of RevLocal, for a live interview inside the Expert Edge Profit, Time, Impact Mastermind.

Marc’s path wasn’t a straight line. Notre Dame accounting grad. Big firm. Banking. Then in 2004 his brother pulled him into Copper.net, a dial-up ISP that grew to nearly 70,000 clients nationwide out of Mount Vernon, Ohio, competing against the early giants of the internet. As dial-up began fading, they kept it running while using its revenue, profit, and key leaders to launch a scrappy startup on the side.

RevLocal, launched in fall 2010 as a local SEO company. It grew into a full-service digital marketing agency serving clients nationwide, a nearly $60 million company, with a successful acquisition, two years ago this month.

I know this story from the inside as RevLocal was a coaching client of mine, when the offer came, I came in-house back in March 2012. Marc was my leader for years and to this day, remains a dear friend.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). Marc has lived that verse through banking, dial-up internet, and building a company most people never thought would scale past Ohio.

Here’s some of what you’ll walk away with tomorrow:

Accelerate Profits: How they used a fading dial-up business to fund and staff RevLocal from day one, so it launched with revenue and leadership already behind it instead of starting from zero.

Reclaim Time: How they ran two businesses at once, one declining and one a startup, without either one collapsing, and what that discipline looked like day to day.

Amplify Impact: Why Marc, as the leader who drove results and ran the executive team, built a nearly $60M company around growing people first, and how helping his team become the best version of themselves ended up being the actual engine behind everything else.

You may not get another shot to hear this story live.

DM “MASTERMIND” and I’ll send you the livestream link before we go on at 2:20 EST tomorrow.

Your closing rate is high. Your W-2 is not.

That's the quiet frustration most B2B sales reps carry but never say out loud. You're elite at what you do, but you're still building someone else's empire, capped at someone else's ceiling.

Here's the thing nobody tells you: the rhythm in your day job is already prospecting for you. Every conversation you have with a business owner or decision-maker is also a possible warm lead for a coaching relationship. You're not adding a second job, you're adding a second income to the rhythm you're already in.

Inside the Expert Edge Coaching Network, we help B2B sales professionals build their own business coaching practice quietly alongside their day gig. Keep the salary, keep the benefits, keep showing up. And while you do, build something that eventually makes all three optional.

Proverbs 11:14 says "in an abundance of counselors there is safety." You've been that counselor for your clients for years. It's time to get paid like one on both sides.

Visit https://expertedgebusinesscoaching.com/freedom to learn more and schedule a conversation.

The day gig keeps running. Your future starts now.

The book of Proverbs is chalk full of wisdom regarding seeking counsel.

19:20: "Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise."

11:14: "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers."

15:22: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."

12:15: "The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice."

24:6: "Surely you need guidance to wage war, and victory is won through many advisers."

Build a business you COULD sell for millions of dollars, BUT CHOOSE NOT TO.

Just one of the reasons why?

Approximately 75% of business owners experience PROFOUND regret within one year of exiting their company!

Data compiled by the Exit Planning Institute and research referenced by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) show that this high rate of seller's remorse often occurs even when the business sells for its target price.

Why Regret Happens

Loss of Identity: The grief stems from losing the daily purpose, community, and personal identity tied to being a business owner.

Lack of Personal Planning: Many owners focus entirely on financial and legal transactions while failing to create a written personal plan for life after the sale.

Forced Exits: Roughly half of all exits are involuntary, triggered by distress, health issues, death, or partner disputes rather than a proactive choice.

You are not failing because you don’t work hard enough.

I’ve sat across from business owners who work 70 hour weeks and stay stuck, and owners who work 24 hours a week and keep growing. (Side note: I've been both!) The difference was never effort.

It was what they were chasing.

Back in 1940, a man named Albert E. Gray studied thousands of salespeople trying to find the one thing separating the ones who made it from the ones who didn’t. He called it The Common Denominator of Success. I’ve spent 40 years studying it and the last 15 years testing that same principle against modern business owners…and it still holds.

Failing owners chase pleasing methods, the calls that feel comfortable, the marketing they already understand, the customers who already like them. Successful owners ask one question first: “what needs to happen?” Then they do that, whether it feels good or not.

That’s the whole gap. Not talent. Not timing. Not even the market.

Today and next Tuesday at 2:30 I’m masterminding us though the iconic speech and then teaching a full framework, my adaptation of Gray’s common denominator built out into 7 specific habits, inside the Expert Edge Profit, Time, Impact Mastermind.

If you’re a business owner and want in on either session, DM me “MASTERMIND” and I’ll get you the link to either join, or the content recording.

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. Acts 4:31

After hearing a message on boldness today, it was thoroughly serendipitous for this guy to come introduce himself to me.

If you know Jared Weston (and I’ve been hearing about him for years) you know he is committed to connecting, leading, and equipping others to live purpose-filled lives of eternal significance.

That’s my kind of guy.

Thanks for all you do for our community, brother. Looking forward to our lunch.

Most business owners think growth means picking a lane and staying in it.

Dustin Keller never got that memo.

He’s built and now runs eight operating companies across auto repair, towing, collision, and logistics (Alpha Automotive, Excite Auto Repair, Excite Towing, Stealth Auto Recovery, and more), covering 75% of Ohio. He’s still the guy training and evaluating his own repossession agents personally. He went high school wrestler, to Army National Guard Sergeant to an MBA in Financial Leadership to running a multi-brand automotive empire, and somehow he still shows up in the details.

That’s not luck. That’s a system.

Tomorrow at 2:30pm EST, I’m sitting down with Dustin live inside the Expert Edge Profit, Time, Impact Mastermind. We’re talking about how he scaled multiple brands without losing control of any of them, what he’d tell a business owner drowning in “one more location,” and the leadership discipline he pulled straight from his military years into his boardroom.

If you’re a business owner trying to figure out how to grow without your business owning you, this is the conversation you need to hear.

DM me “MASTERMIND” and I’ll get you access to tomorrow’s live interview at 2:30 (pre social at 2:20)

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” (Proverbs 16:3, NIV)

Dustin didn’t build this by accident. Neither will you.

Congrats to our intern John Nestor on his opportunity to invest a gap year studying leadership, politics, economics and spiritual growth with Turning Point USA!

Some of the other Expert Edge Business Coaching Profit, Time, Impact Mastermind guys came out on the water to wish him the best.

We’re proud of you, John.
