When business started difficulties overcame:
“I have always been the type of person who has been non-traditional. And so working for other people really didn’t fit with my personality. I always want to do things my own way. I can always see a better way of doing things full stop sometimes are most of the times my bosses didn’t appreciate my comments on and how they should run their own businesses. So that seem to be a problem a lot of times. And so it was really natural for me for me to someone need to do my own thing”…[Listen for More]

Neil’s Quote at the Beginning:
“If it really was a no–brainer to make it on your own in business there’d be millions of no–brained, harebrained, and otherwise dubiously brained individuals quitting their day jobs and hanging out their own shingles. Nobody would be left to round out the workforce and execute the business plan” Bill Rancic
Other Quotes From the Chat with Contessa Louise Cooper:
- “if you are a coach and you don’t have your own coach and you don’t have your own mentor something is wrong. You are not believing in your own self”
- “I had too many people in my ear telling me what to do and eventually I had to dial down on that noise because they all contradicted each other. One coach will tell me one thing, one coach tell me another thing, one coach will tell me to things and leave out the other thing and it was just too much at one time. And so I just unfollowed most of the coaches and social media, got rid of most of my programs and just narrowed in on several people who were doing what I wanted to do and that was it. I didn’t compare myself to anyone else, I didn’t see what other coaches were doing, I was solely focused on me and how I am showing up in this world”
- “I got very, very clear on who it is I wanted to help. A lot of times people go into business and they are like I want to help everybody. And what they say when you try to help everyone you help no one at all. So, I was very clear that I wanted to help people just like me. And once I did that, I knew how to talk to me therefore I knew how to talk to others who would be in similar situations that I was in. So, I would be very clear on who it is you are trying to help”
- “having process and procedures, that is the secret to success in my mind. Knowing that I have this in place, this in place, this in place, this in place and things are going to run whether I’m running it, whether my assistance running it, whether another team member is running. Everything is going to go the way that it is designed to go”
