Stacey Hanke grew up on a dairy farm in central Wisconsin. For over two decades now, sheâs been providing executive mentoring and helping sales professionals become more influential. In this episode, Stacey shares how she applied what she observed growing up on the farm to running an entrepreneurial business.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
How their fatherâs drive and passion influenced Stacey and her sisters/team members.Why Stacey spent time in large corporations before starting her own business.How you can see yourself through your potential customersâ eyes.What people have learned over the last four years.How receiving some harsh feedback ended up being a turning point in Staceyâs career.Why being part of the Strategic CoachÂŽ community is a game changer.How Stacey has managed having work relationships with her sisters.Show Notes:
Strategic Coach thinking tools are like plants. Theyâre planted in your brain, and they develop at different rates.
All growth is compounded growth.
If you have entrepreneurial drive, you can decide that the skyâs the limit.
If you want entrepreneurism in your life, you have to choose what you do appropriately.
Having purpose becomes more important as you get older.
Communicating with influence is a process of constant development and has to be consistent.
How we show up and interact with others determines whoâs in our circle, the businesses we run, and the money in our pockets.
People are finally understanding the power of communication because there are now so many different mediums that we're trying to influence people through.
Communication is the core of everything you do, no matter what industry youâre in.
It doesnât matter what you know if you canât communicate it effectively.
Feeling influential and confident doesnât always translate to how youâre actually perceived.
How smart you are doesnât determine how influential you are either.
Before we can change anything in our lives, we have to be self-aware.
When you reach a certain point in your career, people are going to stop telling you the truth and start telling you what they think you want to hear.
If you donât demonstrate consistency, people question whether youâre trustworthy.
How you communicated years ago might not work for where you are now.
What is common sense is not common practice.
Itâs important to get comfortable with being uncomfortable because the minute you understand the discomfort, growth will happen.

Nicholas Schwarz became an entrepreneur because he was lacking the Four Freedoms of Time, Money, Relationship, and Purpose. Now, Nicholas runs a company where he helps his clients expand those Four Freedoms for themselves. In this episode, Nicholas shares how heâs gone from working in a job he didnât like to becoming a happy entrepreneur.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
All the factors that made it difficult for Nicholas to be an employee of another company.Why becoming self-employed was unthinkable in his line of business.How Nicholasâs âwonderful journeyâ in The Strategic CoachÂŽ Program began.What Nicholas defines as ârelaxed entrepreneurship.âWhy, nowadays, Nicholas delegates as much as possible.How Nicholasâs company helps when it comes to transgenerational wealth.Show Notes:
Entrepreneurs become entrepreneurs for the sake of freedom.
The real freedom that allows all the other freedoms to happen is being able to control your time.
Strategic CoachÂŽ members have the ability to actually arrange their life the way they want it.
The Freedom of Money isnât the most important freedom.
Risk is always perceived as something negative, while uncertainty gives the possibility of something positive happening.
Sometimes, we stumble on rocks we put down ourselves.
Entrepreneurs who use Strategic Coach tools carve out a lot of time for themselves.
The Strategic Coach community is very helpful both as a sounding board and as an emotional support group.
Being your own boss has pros and cons, but the flexibility is worth it.
What you do as an entrepreneur is sometimes very lonely.
Talking about your entrepreneurial successes and challenges resonates more with someone whoâs also gone through the whole process.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:

When it seems everything out there is negative, what grabs your attention is the stuff thatâs positive.
Itâs a win-win to partner with people who already have a marketplace of your potential clients.
An entrepreneur doesnât have to be the one with the idea.
If you focus only on customers that are a good fit for your company, theyâll refer you to other people.
ChatGPT has given people a taste of the exponential power behind machine learning and AI.
If you get your clients their desired outcomes, the outputs donât really matter.
During tough times, you have to manage your expectations.
You know you always need to get better, even during good times.
Ads almost always get less than 50% conversion.

Lisa Larter has a strategic marketing firm, providing consulting services around strategy and business advisement. Like many entrepreneurs, Lisa started off thinking she had to do everything herself. In this episode, she shares the wisdom sheâs gained from using her growth mindset to gain continual business success.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
The role of an entrepreneur in their business.The way in which Lisaâs background in retail helped her with marketing.The importance for entrepreneurs of understanding cash flow.How to make sure youâre prepared to pay taxes.What let Lisa know that her business idea âhad legs.âThe wisdom Lisa would impart to her past self.The variety of benefits Lisa has gotten as a member of the Strategic CoachÂŽ entrepreneurial community.Show Notes:
The entrepreneurâs main capability is vision.
There are many talented people who donât have a purpose or a vision for using their talents.
A lot of people understand sales and profit, but they don't understand cash flow and the timing and movement of money.
Meet as many of the right people as you can that you want to do business with.
People should aim to have a baselineâa certain amount of cash they want to carry in their businessâand do whatever they can to avoid going below that number.
Entrepreneurs want freedom in their lives. And money buys you freedom.
Every entrepreneur needs some type of mentor, coach, or advisor that they can talk to when they have difficult things going on.
You will cap your potential if you don't learn how to lead and build a team.
If youâre entrepreneurial and you have a dream, it doesn't matter what your background or education is.

There is massive a shortage of homes across Canada, especially affordable homes.
Strategic Coach takes a resource called an entrepreneur from a lower level of productivity to a higher level of productivity.
In order to grow the company, you have to free up the entrepreneur.
In most cases, when an entrepreneur is stuck, theyâre approaching their role as though they work for a corporation.
It's important to step away from your business because when you come back, you're able to be so much more productive.
The important ideas that come out of Strategic Coach workshops donât necessarily all happen in the workshop room.
Youâre never too old to learn.
Right now, in Hamilton alone, there are up to 8,000 people waiting for suitable housing.
People want to live where they work and people want to buy homes where they work.

Business coach Dan Sullivan and marketing and advertising geniuses Joe Polish, Dean Jackson, and Mark Young have all been friends and business colleagues for years. Now, theyâre teaming up as the Super Partners for a very special podcast episode where they talk about what marketing really means and provide examples of elegant ideas that entrepreneurs can use to better engage their audiences.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
Solutions that mean no more cold calls or door-to-door sales.The purpose of advertising.How advertising can be used to help people.The difference between marketing and sales.Why selling has gotten a bad name.Whatâs changed since Dan founded The Strategic CoachÂŽ Program 35 years ago.Why direct mail is still the greatest form of marketing in the world.Show Notes:
Everyone who has a business is going to have to do marketing and selling.
One elegant idea is worth more than 1,000 semi-good ideas.
Perfect has become the enemy of good.
Anything you put in front of somebody is marketing.
Only the hungriest fish snap at the crappiest bait.
Once you figure out marketing, it's the ultimate leverage.
Marketing is the aggregate of all the steps you take to go from somebody not knowing you all the way to them being engaged in a relationship with you.
Once you figure out a marketing algorithm, it works again and again.
You can create control in your future if you learn how to put a message out there that causes people to want to give you money.
There are businesses that die of starvation, and there are businesses that die of indigestion.
The average person receives between 5,000 and 24,000 advertising messages daily.
Part of sales is just connecting with someone.
People don't buy from you because they understand what you do. People buy from you because they feel understood.
Danâs definition of selling is getting someone intellectually engaged in a future result that's good for them and getting them to emotionally commit to take action to achieve that result.

Up until six or seven years ago, Nikki Fraserâs career consisted of working in large banks. Now, sheâs an entrepreneur. Nikki and her husband, Dan, run a company called NextKey Services that provides small and medium-sized businesses with all of their outsourced finance needs. In this episode, Nikki shares whatâs allowed her to make the biggest impact she can as an entrepreneur while having the personal life she wants.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
What inspired Nikkiâs decision to leave corporate America.How The Strategic CoachÂŽ Program has been fundamental in the growth of Nikki and Danâs business.Some of the business lessons Nikki has learned on her journey.Why Nikki and Dan donât take it for granted that theyâre able to work together.How to end up in a place where you're really focused on what you do best.Why corporate America can never produce the best product or the best service.What itâs like attending Strategic CoachÂŽ workshops as a couple.Show Notes:
If something is going to be successful, it requires total commitment.
You have to be committed before you have the capability. And that requires courage.
Corporate America, as most people experience it, is not for entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurism means that you're using your own Unique AbilityÂŽ to create Unique Teamwork that produces really unusual value.
It's important to be okay with not having all the answers.
Itâs okay if something you try out doesnât work. Keep trying.
Finance isnât a compliance; it's something entrepreneurs or business owners can use as a strategic asset in their business to grow and transform.
You can pass on wealth to your kids, but passing on the right mindset is more important because then they can retain the wealth or even build their own.
Itâs important to have time to turn off.
Being in a safe space with supportive, encouraging, like-minded individuals really gives you more confidence.
As you keep using a Strategic Coach thinking tool, it gets easier and easier.

Ann and Sunny Sheu are not only life partners, theyâre partners on their entrepreneurial journeys. With their business, Mpowered Families, they help high-achieving entrepreneurial couples to be as intentional about their family lives as they are about their business lives. In this episode, Ann and Sunny share what itâs like to be in business with the person youâre married to, how they apply business lessons to their personal lives, and the benefits they get from business coaches and fellow members in The Strategic CoachÂŽ Program.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
How Strategic CoachÂŽ workshops are like a clarity break for Ann and Sunny.Where Ann and Sunnyâs work overlaps, and where it doesnât.How Mpowered Families workshops have immediate impact on families.What led Sunny to stop being a slave to the business.How improving your personal life and improving your business life feed each other.The danger of trying to be what you think people expect.Why being a Strategic Coach member is really about the mindset shifts.Show Notes:
If you want to change your behavior, you first have to change your mindset.
Many entrepreneurs donât create the time and space to do for their families what they do for their businesses.
Your family is the most important team in your life.
When your family life is strong, then you have the space to give your all to your business.
To build a great family life, you have to first do the work on yourself.
What often happens in families is that people bring a very diluted version of themselves to the table.
If you canât clearly articulate what you want out of life, you wonât know how to ask for what you want.
Once you're clear about who you are individually, you and your partner can come together and create a shared vision.
Itâs not always easy for a couple to have an aligned vision for their family, but there are always commonalities.
Very rarely do people think a decade ahead for their personal lives.

From the age of 12, Molly Thompson knew she was different. She looked at the world differently and thought about the world differently, too, and it caused no shortage of problems. Now, she is the CEO of Perrysburg Energy Solutions, a company providing organizationsâand communitiesâwith compelling, mission-driven energy solutions. In this episode, Molly shares how she learned to embrace her uniqueness, the driving force behind her business success, and how her current project became a massive community collaboration. She also reveals how, through Strategic Coachâ tools and community, she learned to trust her intuition, think 10x instead of being limited by self-doubt, and turn perceived obstacles into opportunities. Tune in to learn more about embracing individuality and staying true to your vision as an entrepreneur!
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
How Molly recognized her entrepreneurial mindset from a young age of 12 and saw the world differently.Her early entrepreneurial ventures, like co-authoring a book and developing a TV show.How she overcame challenges as an entrepreneur who didn't fit traditional corporate molds.Her experience being diagnosed with ADHD and how she strategically leveraged it.How she used tools from Strategic Coach to understand her unique brain wiring and thought processes.What makes for a transformational experience for a customer.What happens when an entrepreneur gets bored.How Molly took her commercial lighting business to the next level with a visionary solar project.Her innovative approach to collaborating with multiple stakeholders across sectors.Show Notes:
Molly knew from age 12 that she was an entrepreneur at heart, seeing the world differently than others.
Successful entrepreneurs often have a sense of being different or not fitting into traditional molds from a young age.
This early recognition of their distinctiveness can be a driving force behind their entrepreneurial endeavors.
It also helps them develop unique capabilities very early in lifeâ and often makes them unemployable as a result.
Young people are often pressured to conform and be like everybody else, but successful entrepreneurs learn to tune out the noise.
The biggest danger for an entrepreneur is boredom.
An ideal is like the horizon: you can never reach it.
It's a lot easier to ask for a million dollars than it is to ask for $200,000.
Thereâs value in taking a step back and thinking about things.
Obstacles are simply opportunities for growth and transformation.

Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
The Strategic Coach thinking tool for getting instant focus on something that's important to you.How Greg figured out he could help people dealing with risk.The interview with business coach Dan Sullivan that led Greg to Strategic Coach.The importance of Strategic Coach clientsâ life partners embracing Strategic Coach tools.Show Notes:
Entrepreneurs need to have a life partner who gives them total support for what theyâre doing in their entrepreneurial life.
For some entrepreneurs, the easy part of their lives is the day at work, and the tough part is the night at home.
An entrepreneurâs best relationship has to be the one that they have committed themselves to for an entire lifetime.
Trying to go through Strategic Coach when the person you're in a relationship with isn't buying into the Program can be a struggle.
The approach in Strategic Coach is that your entrepreneurial life is your entire life.
Only about 5% of the working population ever has the commitment and courage to go out and face the marketplace straight on.
If entrepreneurs donât succeed, they donât eat.
Before seeking a partner, get your thinking straight on what makes someone a person you want to be in a relationship with.

Itâs possible to get somewhere even if you donât know what the map looks like.

Speaking English is an important entrepreneurial skill in the United States.
What seems like a failure might actually be the beginning of the next step.
When you donât grow, you die.
Entrepreneurs need to give up doing what isnât their job.
Itâs important to keep investing in coaching because you donât know what you donât know.

In one of our favorite episodes, entrepreneur Leslie Fall shares how a team member who helped get her to a certain level of success was no longer helping the company grow. Leslie explains how, by employing the concept of âmultiplication by subtraction,â she overcame the problem to great benefit, plus other gains sheâs made since taking advantage of business coaching through Strategic Coach.
Hereâs some of what youâll learn in this episode:
What Leslie gets out of being in a community of like-minded entrepreneurs.The changes a colleague has noticed in Leslie since she joined Strategic Coach.How Leslie introduces Strategic Coach thinking tools to her colleagues.How her team now gets four monthsâ worth of work done in under a week.Show Notes:
Sometimes, you have to let go of what your job typically is in order to let team members grow.
For reasons of fit or reasons of competence, a team member can hold you back.
It can take a fresh perspective to notice inefficiencies in your process.
Itâs exciting to see where people will go once their time has been freed up.
When people have the time and mental energy, theyâll be more alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful.
Team members who are freed up have time to think about other opportunities for revenue.
You're probably only relying on your team 50% of what you could be.
The minute you think of a new idea, think about who can help you with it.

An entrepreneur going about things alone develops all sorts of bad habits.
The biggest problem for entrepreneurs is being alone and having no one to talk to about both your challenges and your successes.
None of us celebrate our progress enough.
The Strategic Coach Program isnât centred on the business. Itâs focused on you as a person.
When something comes up and you donât know what to do, Strategic Coach has processes you can follow that will help you get solutions.
You can interpret your past experiences however you want to.
You feel more normal when youâre in a community of people with similar challenges and obstacles to yours.
If youâre experiencing a health challenge, itâs comforting to know youâre not the only one.
Strategic Coach clients have a kind of shared language.
Surrounding yourself with people, and having connections with others, can help you pull through some very difficult times.
When youâre aware of the challenges someone is having, it lets you have compassion for them like you never would have before.

The Strategic Coach Program was designed for entrepreneurs who are active and âall over the place.â
Itâs a tremendous strength to realize that being an entrepreneur is a life sentence.
Luck is involved in entrepreneurial success, but the entrepreneur needs the capability of taking advantage of luck.
The more value they provide, and the faster they can provide it, the more an entrepreneur gets paid for their time.
When youâre a little bored and you have your eyes open, interesting opportunities come your way.

Weâre not in control of what happens in the world, but weâre in control of our responses to what happens.
Entrepreneurs transform situations from huge negatives to breakthrough positives.
Strategic Coach is a thinking tool culture.
If you have an anchor client, then you donât have to fear that you need to say yes to everything.
The entire business of an entrepreneur can be based on the entrepreneurâs reputation.
Good people do bad things, and it doesnât mean theyâre bad people.

Retirement works better if you have a plan.
A lot of things that are happening in the world of technology are automating the role of a financial advisor.
Being a financial advisor is extremely entrepreneurial because you donât get handed clients.
Very few clients want to know the ins and outs of how markets work.
Instead of competing, you can turn your competitors into your clients.
The role of a good financial advisor is to understand the clientsâ needs and bring them information in a way thatâs meaningful and helpful to them.
Financial advisors arenât typically trained in the softer, more human elements of their roles.
You have to understand the life of the client before you can do a meaningful financial plan for them.
Financial products more or less sell themselves because they are driven by the financial plan.
