Something everyone should try !!

This is why you need a coach.

Most men get stuck in one of these three stages:
• Lost → they need education
• Educated → they need ex*****on
• Executing → they need consistency

A coach helps you move through all three — faster, with clarity, and accountability that sticks.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels or know you could be showing up better — at home, in business, and for yourself — this is your sign to take action.

I’ve got 2 private coaching spots open right now for driven men ready to make the next 90 days the foundation for their best year yet.

DM me “COACH” or comment below — let’s see if this is the right fit for you.

The Power of Accountability

Here’s a stat that stops me in my tracks every time 👇

The probability of completing a goal if:

You have an idea or goal: 10%

You consciously decide you’ll do it: 25%

You decide when you’ll do it: 40%

You plan how you’ll do it: 50%

You commit to someone you’ll do it: 65%

You have a specific accountability appointment with that person: 95%

Read that last line again.
95%.

That’s not motivation.
That’s structure.
That’s accountability.
That’s why coaching and brotherhood matter.

The truth is, no one performs at their best alone — not in business, not in marriage, not in fatherhood.
Every man needs people in his corner — men who hold him to his word, call him higher, and help him stay consistent when life gets messy.

That’s what coaching provides.

That’s what the Dad Edge Accelerator is all about — a tribe of business-owning fathers who push each other to lead at home and in business.

And if you’re not at the business-owner level yet, I also do Peak Performance Coaching — helping driven men lock in clarity, discipline, and momentum to crush their next chapter.

I’ve got 2 coaching spots left this year.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to step up — now’s the time.

If this message hits home, let’s talk.
You can DM me, comment “Accountability,” text me, or send me an email — whatever gets you to take action!.

Not everyone is a fit for my coaching, and I’m not the right fit for everyone. But if you’re serious about growth and ready to step into consistency and clarity, we’ll figure out if this is your next step.

Day 24 Sober October

I would now recommend that most people should do a 30-60 day detox to exprence it for yourself.

Have I been board.. Well yess.. in short bust.. and that was for the first few days but what I have been filling that time with now has been so great.

I am going to be riding this out until November 17 when I compete at my bjj jiu jitsu competition in frankenmuth

Gotta Thank my coaches and training partners Tim/Steve/Aaron/Justin David and the Am crew Victorious MMA

Being kind to others is mostly about your actions.
Being kind to yourself is mostly about your thoughts.

Dear Coach,

My name is Jack, and I just wanted to write to say thank you for being my coach.

Before I joined your team, I didn't really like playing sports. I tried soccer and other stuff, but it wasn't fun. The other coaches always made us do really hard drills, and I wasn't good at them. It made me feel sad and like I wasn't good at soccer. I didn't feel like I was part of the team, and I was always nervous to mess up.

But when I joined your team, everything changed! You made practice fun, and we got to play games that didn't feel like drills. I didn't even realize I was getting better at soccer because we were having so much fun. The games helped me feel like I could actually do stuff, and I wasn't scared anymore.

Now, I'm always excited for practice, and I can't wait to play soccer every week. I finally feel like I'm good at it and like I'm part of the team. You made me love soccer, and now I want to be a professional soccer player when I grow up!

Thank you for making soccer fun and for helping me feel like I can do it.

Your friend,
Jack

The above is a fictional letter that gives you a glimpse into a young child's mind, which is something every coach and parent should consider.

Here's why:

We can really shape how a child feels about sports and physical activity in their early years. If a child doesn't enjoy it or feels discouraged, they may never develop the motivation to keep going. That's why the ADG Method ensures every practice is filled with joy through engagement and competence. Kids who feel excited and confident love the experience and can't wait to return for more

So the next time you plan a session or sign your child up for a program, remember Jack's story and how a coach made all the difference.

Sober October Day 7...

"Focus on your likes, not your wants.
* You may not want to exercise, but you like how it makes you feel.
* You may not want to write, but you like the feeling of accomplishment.
* You may not want to wake up early, but you like the calm beauty of morning.
Wanting is the desire you feel before doing something. Liking is the satisfaction you feel after doing something. Let your likes guide you."

Sober October going strong.. What is crazy to see is, where your energy goes when you remove Alcohol, and how much more you have ( unless you are a 20 something b/c when I was that age, i never missed anything).

As a almost 40 year old with 4 kids a wife and a coaching business and real estate. I want / need all the energy I have to show up best for my self, my family, and my clients..

What is crazy is its not just Alcohol, other things zap and drain our energy, it can even bee good things, you can over train, you can work out too much where you get hurt, you can put too much into your business especially if is costing you your mental health, your physical health, or your important relationships, *spouse, kids, family, friends

Again if you want to feel like you need help I would suggest you start small with just tracking your usage rather that be Booz, bud, screen, phone, what ever that is that is causing you pain.

I want to thank The Dad Edge and Better Business Dads for being my support in creating awareness and learning, with a non judgemental group who ask great questions and cares.


The more clearly you know how you want to spend your days, the easier it becomes to say no to the requests that steal your hours."

48 hr fast complete day 1/31 of sober October! Its not too late to jump in message me or leave a comment if you want in..

I also had some people tell me they had events/weddings where they can't do a full sober October.. My response will be then how many mulligan's do you need 2/3/30?

It is about being your best self, there is never not a month where I have a wedding, a meet up, ect ect a reason to drink, I am choosing to take this month for me and my best self.

Being your best isn't about being the best. You are where you are right now because of all the actions/decisions/habits you have had leading up to right now..

I am just looking for more likeminded people to do this journey with!
