Resources that will help you build your organization and accomplish your mission.

As a business coach, I only recommend products and services that I have either used or have thoroughly researched. I am an affiliate for some of these which means I will get a small commission if you decide to purchase one at no extra cost to you—but my main motivation is to see you succeed. That is the only reason you will find a product or service on this page.

Online Courses and Tools I recommend

Business Made Simple University

Business Made Simple University (BMSU) is the main resource I use to help you build a successful business or organization. And you can access all the courses and live events for yourself. 


On demand courses that will take the mystery out of growing your business. Annual subscription of $275 gives you access to an ever-growing list of on demand courses, live monthly coaching by Donald Miller, and a professional development plan.

Small Business Flight School

6 month video training series to completely overhaul your business or nonprofit.  

When you purchase Small Business Flight School using my link HERE or the link below, you also get two 60 minute calls per month with me for Q&A.


Purpose Project Online Course

Ever struggle with understanding your unique design and purpose in life?

The Purpose Project Online Course is a self paced journey into unlocking your unique design and identifying, with clarity and confidence, the path you should be on.

*The proceeds from this course support The Catalyst Collective nonprofit.

Amp'd Up Podcasting

Creating and launching a podcast is a wonderful moment for you and your audience. It’s a big accomplishment that deserves a big kudos. The world needs more talented podcasters like you!

But if you’ve been podcasting for more than a few months, you may feel burned out and are struggling with how to move forward. This course helps you structure and streamline your podcast production, elevate the quality of your show, and incorporate ways to make money that are consistent with your brand and values.

The Business Growth Execution System by The Mele Group

Most companies suffer from having a gap between their vision/mission and results. The problem is that they don't have an execution plan that they can operate simply and efficiently. 


My long-time friend Thomas Mele has incorporated his many years of Operations and Execution experience from working in top companies into his own online Business Growth Execution System. 


This system is delivered in a three-module program that combines on-demand video training and downloadable engagement exercises with live coaching support. 

Storybrand Marketing Livestream workshop

It's a fact — businesses that clarify their message and build a sales funnel are the ones that thrive in the marketplace. At the StoryBrand Marketing Livestream, you'll get both done in 48 hours AND get real time coaching in an online breakout room to make sure that you’re getting it right.

Self Publishing School

When I decided to write and self publish my second book, Foster and Adoptive Parenting, I knew I needed help. That is when I found Chandler Bolt's Self Publishing School.


Click the Workshop link below to get access to a Free On-Demand workshop—How to Write and Self Publish a Best Selling Book in 90 Days.


If you decide to register for the Self Publishing School (SPS), I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. However, I attribute my success of writing and publishing my book to what I learned from this school and the support I received from the SPS community.

Teachable

Ready to create your own online course so you can share your expertise and scale your business? 


Starting any business requires a lot of moving parts to fall into place. Creating and launching an online course is no different. But similarly, having a well-thought-out launch strategy can make taking a product to market much easier.

Fusebox

Do you have a podcast but want a more robust podcast player for your website, emails, and social media?

Fusebox is the podcast player built by podcasters for podcasters to extend the reach of your show.

Wherever your audience gathers online, your podcast can now be there too. Within an online course. Inside a membership community.

With Fusebox, you can now grow your podcast like never before.

Thrive Theme for WordPress

I wanted the robustness of WordPress, but I didn't want to learn how to code.

I also didn't want a cookie cutter theme. 


The answer? Thrive Theme!


You can get Thrive Theme plug ins a la carte or you can get them all with Thrive Theme Suite. (which is what I did).


Shane and his team are constantly improving Thrive Themes, the support is top notch, and the tutorials and Thrive University are best in class. 

SPI Pro Membership Community

I have been a fan of Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income for many years. So when he launched the SPI Pro membership community in 2020, it was an easy decision for me. 


If you already have a business, especially an online business of some kind, then I highly recommend checking out SPI Pro!
