Here are types of owners I coach. Your someone who either isn't unhappy with their current situation but wants to grow into a next level of their business. Your someone who is a strong A player and wants to go to A+. Someone who is upset with their current situation and looking for clear action plans with help with implementation. Or someone who is unsure whether to attack the next scaling level, or update current systems to handle the next level of your business growth. I understand... I have been coaching full time, which is super rare for coaches, I dedicate time to my career and growth, and it's been that way for over half a decade. I have helped single business owners simply be clear and scale with accountability attached. And multi-business owners zoom out, become the delegator and leader they should be! I'm happy to say I've helped an abundance of owners. And with coaching for over fifteen-hundred hours I have seen many common challenges. I have tracked, noted, and helped people overcome many pitfalls that you are falling into. I will help you with breaking down recurring patterns that this time will give you better results, I can't guarantee the pattern of 'don't feel rested or burnout' won't ever happen again, but I can guarantee that you will make more progress than before, or like yourself when you we're killing it! I also help people with - Business Strategy Creation w/ Accountability - Automation Systems - Zapier, Make, Monday, HubSpot, etc. - Tracking & Analysis Systems - My network will help you if you like. - Business Start-Up - From day 1, or day 100, both an exciting adventure for me! - Positioning / Offer - High value clients or low ticket, your strategy/positioning does matter. - Performance Increase Dramatically - Usually unconscious, but when noting wins, the dots align. My coaching philosophy is like that but I phrase it like; Where are you? Where do you want to go? And let's go! I'll understand your situation, ask questions to get a foundational understanding, then figure the direction, and we will craft 80/20 actions consistently towards that next milestone leading towards a bigger vision. - Every sportstar has coaches. Every actor has coaches. Executives have coaches. Tiger Woods, couldn't see his swing. MJ, couldn't notice subtle changes to improve his game. Ronaldo was undeveloped at United. Coaches brought the best out of them along with hardwork! Maybe the ratio is Coachee 90% Coach 10%... It's important to not to be distracted by the shiny actions that spring to mind. There is always a fiery moment in coaching, and we're firemen thank God... Ha... I like analogies... It's the great discussion of, "this is an important action Gary" (Like every business action) And I say "Is it as important as your goals action?" And then the coachee spends 15 minutes defending the action of why they should do an action that has no ROI, only pleasantry automation or system to have... An interesting dynamic for sure. I have helped so many business owners it's amazing, and with achieve goals the line is not straight, but with a coach, the achievement is shorter. Regardless if you work with me or not, getting a coach is a good move, so go you! A bit about me: Recently I became a Gold Medalist in Jiu Jitsu, a fantastic achievement for me! I've coach for over half a decade, full time too. I've gotten over 100, five star reviews. Two time author, with one becoming a best selling book on Amazon, called Never Give Up. And a variety of certificates and courses achieved along the way, such as NLP, MasterCoach, and a Nutrition diploma. I was also previous addict to various addictions, drugs, porn, gambling. Proud to say them coping mechanisms are in the past. One client I helped via UpWork is Dan. I help add $2,500 to his business in 3 sessions. His raving video testimonial is on my profile. Reach out here and let's discuss how I could help you in the upcoming Qtr's. Thanks, Gary

Life is messy. Believe me, I know. In 2023, I walked away from a thriving career in tech. It was a career I loved, but I was burnt out and had been passive for too long. It was time to take control and stand up for what was important to me. So, I took a career break. For a whole year, I learned to slow down, be present with my three children, listen to my body, and rediscover my passions. In 2024, I followed my heart, became a certified Co- Active coach and founded The Big Life Project. Since then, I've added Group Coaching and Positive Intelligence qualifications to my toolkit. Now, with years of 15 years leadership experience, my coaching toolkit and a deep understanding of personal transformation, I'm here to guide you through your own messy journey towards a future you are proud of. Whether you're leading team in turmoil, you are an individual seeking a promotion, a career change, growing a family or you are feeling overwhelmed by life's transitions, I can relate. I am open to all opportunities that harness my skills in individual, group and team coaching, business strategy and group facilitation.
