Lately I've been reading a lot about Mike Tyson, including his autobiography "Undisputed Truth" and "Iron Ambition", his tribute to his legendary trainer Cus D'Amato. 

 

Tyson's rise, fall, and eventual comeback give a lot of lessons for entrepreneurs, but I'll share my favourite quote from him: 

 

 

The quote resonates nowadays since a lot of plans made by entrepreneurs at the beginning of 2020 have been completely upended by the global pandemic. 

 

Does that mean that it's bad to have a plan and you shouldn't bother? 

 

Not at all.

 

Having a plan beats just winging it - as long as it's not too rigid and you're prepared to make adjustments if hit with a curveball (and curveballs can *always* happen ...) 

 

Not having a plan is demotivating because you don't know what you should be doing every day, or even where you're going. 

 

In the coaching world, I'd always put my money on the coach with a plan versus the one without. 

 

If you're confused and looking for a plan to get more coaching clients, I'm now doing a spring sale on my "10 Clients In 90 Days" program. 

 

Over 12 weeks you'll learn what's worked for me and hundreds of coaches that I've helped, so there won't be any guesswork. 

 

Roll up your sleeves, follow the plan, and get the results. 

 

For a limited time you can get 10C90D for 50% off (just $997 instead of the usual $1997), and there's even an instalment option to spread it out over three months. 

 

The deadline is May 15th and you can get it here:
