In this video, I am interviewing one of the faculty members for my AJC Coaching Career School 2023, Amir Karouti. Amir is a dear friend, colleague, coach and successful business owner who has the ability to powerfully speak to the heart of what makes coaches thrive. In this conversation, we
A few years back, I was having a coaching conversation with Steve Chandler and I brought up some judgemental thinking about another coach. Except, I couldn’t see it was simply my thinking. It seemed as if my righteous, upset feelings were telling me something else. It felt as if I
For some reason, I have a consumer activist in me. I’ve always been someone who has rooted for the underdog and championed consumer rights. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s from having a family who has worked in retail for a few generations where customer service is paramount. Perhaps it’s
Over the past year, several clients have complimented me on my ability to bring great people into my programs and foster a sense of community spirit. This hasn’t been accidental, and I realised that some people might not realise that it resulted from deliberate actions. Perhaps this stemmed from my
Last week I had a session with someone who has signed up for the upcoming AJC Coaching Career School. Amongst other things, we spoke about the importance of creating the context for conversations you have with potential clients. Cold calling or cold messaging is not very effective and tedious. In
I have my first “pre-school” webinar on Monday, where those who have already signed up for the 2nd cohort of the AJC Coaching Career School get 60 minutes to ask me any questions about their business or coaching practice. One of the questions I received before the webinar is: Steve
On 30th April 2022, I was sitting in the front row of The Ultimate Experience event held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. It was the culmination of a lot of hard work over the previous nine weeks to pull this amazing day together with amazing colleagues (many of
Some of you may know that I’ve been involved in this Saturday’s event in Mumbai, India, called The Ultimate Experience Indian Edition. The man who’s leading this project is called Ranjan Kumar and as often happens with projects like this, there are some tensions behind the scenes. I experienced my
At the end of January, Steve Hardison did an interview for The Ultimate Coach Facebook group. Now, Steve Hardison is someone I’ve been aware of for many years. I first met him in 2014 when he was a guest at a weekend intensive run by Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin.
The Miracle of Being: Six Lessons on Personal Growth and Transformation Last year, I had the privilege of being introduced to Becky Robbins through my work with Steve Hardison – The Ultimate Coach. She had recently started working with Steve, and she was the same Becky Robbins, co-founder of Robbins
My friend Bns Srinivas has managed to get the scoop of a lifetime. He convinced Steve Hardison (The Ultimate Coach) to be interviewed for the first time ever. There are very few recordings of Steve being interviewed or recorded anywhere in the world. There is a whole story of what
I had a potential client ask me recently whether the payment for my coaching package was required upfront. I told him, yes, that it’s a policy I have which I found has my clients way more committed to the work than when I used to allow split payments. He told
If you are a coach trying to build your client base, social media can be an incredibly powerful tool to help you create coaching clients. By using social media through the lens of creating conversations and a deeper impact, you can open up a world of opportunities to grow your
A feeling I’ve struggled with over my lifetime, is the feeling of negative criticism. The irony is I also craved feedback because I knew I’d grow when I received it. As someone who is into personal development and personal growth, I needed constructive criticism from people to improve, and I’d
Over the last eight years of working with Steve Chandler, there have been numerous conversations I’ve had with him about challenges I encountered with coaching clients. On a few rare occasions, I brought up a particularly challenging client whom I wanted to fire. It looked to me that, for whatever
The thing I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember has been relationships whether it was romantic relationships, family relationships or relationships with friends. Growing up, I wasn’t the most popular kid in school. In fact, I remember when one of my classmates had a birthday party I
I got introduced to the concept of “client astonishment” by my coach Steve Chandler many years ago, and I thought I understood what this meant. It seemed fairly obvious to me that client astonishment meant delivering great customer service and this was totally in alignment with my philosophy of doing
My most significant shift in 2022 has been my relationship with my wife. Early this year, I asked my coach Steve Chandler whether we could spend an entire session discussing my marriage. It wasn’t because my marriage was on the rocks or because we had any seeming problems. Our marriage
You may have heard coaches such as myself or Steve Chandler say “Clients are everywhere.” I remember when people used to say that to me, I didn’t believe it and I’m sure when I tell my clients or when coaches hear me saying this, they don’t believe me either. However,
I arrived in London last week from the States, having completed my five-session coaching package with Steve Hardison – The Ultimate Coach. There have been many insights, aha moments and realisations in 2022 through our work together. I’m definitely a very different man, husband, son and coach as a result
So earlier this year, I invested $45,000 into a ten-hour coaching agreement with Steve Hardison, The Ultimate Coach. I undertook this agreement in five x two-hour sessions in his office in Phoenix, Arizona. There was no option to do this online. This works out to $9,000 per session or $4,500
I found that as a coach – and the same goes for my clients – that no matter how good I’ve become, there will always be some people who won’t want to work with me. I used to speak to my own coach Steve Chandler about this and sometimes ask
One of the topics that people frequently ask me about is how to be more productive. It’s perhaps one of the most common questions I get and it’s something that I have struggled with myself. In fact, a recent survey with more than 1 million users by Headway, a self-growth
Sometimes people ask me: “If anything, what would you do differently if you were starting your coaching business again?” It’s always easy to look back with the benefit of hindsight and think I could have done this or that. But the truth is, I have learned many lessons along the
I have realised, through my work with Steve Hardison, that creating a document is not the end. It’s simply the beginning. It’s a collection of declarations I am making about who I am being from now on. Here’s the rub. I have to actually BE those declarations. It’s not enough
In this conversation with my colleague and dear friend Rich Habets we talk about how our insights from working with The Ultimate Coach – Steve Hardison – transformed our year (and life) into a conscious creation of who we choose to be in every moment. The process of creating what
Some people will ask me whether a client needs to be ready to change before any transformation takes place. There’s an old adage that says “When the student is ready the master will appear.” There is some truth in that, but it’s also not a fact. I’ve seen people drastically
I had a coaching call with Steve Chandler (the Godfather of coaching) a couple of years ago where we were talking about a prospective client that I’d been interacting with. We were discussing the email I sent them after our conversation and Steve kept telling me about sending this person
I’ve been involved in personal development for over 20 years now and one of the big lessons I’ve learned along the way is the importance of failing. See, I was scared to fail because I was so worried about how it would look to others, which made me really hold
I was asked some version of this question on Saturday at the start of my 6 day retreat for men in England. What a question. There has been so much that has shifted. It was impossible to narrow it down to one thing but I did my best. Steve Hardison
I had a beautiful tuxedo made back in 2016 which I wore for my wedding reception. Sadly less than 12 months later I had ripped the trousers and they were unrepairable. Since then, I’ve had the need to wear a Tuxedo a few times and I’ve turned to a tuxedo
I have been running my Men’s Immersions programs for seven years now and each one of these programs has sold out, from the very first one I’ve run to the most recent one.Over this time, these programs have evolved and become bigger and more impactful, but the process of filling them has
One of the most significant impacts of my work with The Ultimate Coach, Steve Hardison has been my relationship with my gorgeous, talented, loving wife, Yamini. So far I have never explicitly brought up my relationship as a topic to be coached on. I can’t remember us spending much time
I recently contacted a good friend of mine who is an amazing graphics designer ( Sonal Odedra) to design the document I created through my work with Steve Hardison in a great way so that I could print it, frame it and hang it in my office where I could
One of the best indicators of how much of your own power you are able to access and use in the world is your level of self-esteem.I’ve met many men who’ve become clients of mine, either through my group Immersion programs or private one-on-one coaching, who no matter how successful they were
I remember reading something about a coach who would read at least one book a week. He was a voracious consumer of information and I thought that in order to be a really successful coach, I needed to do the same thing.The challenge was, I didn’t tend to read that quickly and whenever I
Forgiveness is a funny thing. It’s talked about in spiritual traditions and personal development all over the place. However, it was only when I came across this body of work called The Three Principles and especially Sydney Banks, that it totally changed the way I looked at forgiveness.I hadn’t realised it, but
Something that coaches rarely talk about is the fact that coaching can feel like an incredibly lonely profession.Whilst coaching is all about relationships and we can spend a lot of time in conversations with people, unlike other professions, we often aren’t spending a lot of time with our colleagues and peers.One of the best
I started getting into personal development when I was 19. Although at that stage I already had the realisation that life could be different and I didn’t have to live on default, I had no idea how different life could be.It was another six years before I finally hired my first
We see everyone’s highlight reel on social media. It is easy to look at that and assume what a person’s life looks like. Except, we don’t really know. I’ve been on both sides of this equation. In 2014 I had a friend come and visit me in London. He marvelled
Yes and No. Let me explain. Many of you know I recently signed up for the chocolate chip cookie agreement with Steve Hardison after having an amazing Be With Session last December which exceeded all expectations. I had planned on sharing my many insights right here except I made an
For years I would never admit (even to myself) that I was treating my coaching practice as a glorified hobby rather than a business.What do I mean by that?I mean that I didn’t do the things that I needed to do consistently to have my business thrive and grow as fast as
I want to give a huge acknowledgement to Steve Hardison for helping me craft my document. I must admit that I was at first skeptical about it but I’m 100% converted to the power of these declarations. They are not simply affirmations but a by-product of a deep process that
Sometimes my clients assume that I never have a bad day, they’d imagine that somehow I’m living a life of pure bliss and happiness and no low moods.I always try and assure them this is not the case. Sure, my experience of life is a thousand times better than it used to be a
This was one of the key themes that emerged from a two-day training I delivered in 2016 with Steve Chandler in London for coaches.Too often I would see coaches who said they would like more clients or business growth and they might even invest in programs or courses to tell
I’ve had many, many coaches say some version of the words above to me over the years. Perhaps they assume it was different for me. It wasn’t. My wife, who trained as a chartered accountant, thought I was foolish and financially reckless when I first hired Steve Chandler. After all,
Many times I’ll get coaches asking me a ‘how to’ question: “How do I create conversations?”“How do I make proposals?”Or“How do I know when to invite people to a coaching conversation?” Almost always my answer is: it depends. It depends because people are not robots. Whilst there are guidelines that I
I was invited to the Human Change podcast with Daniel Magnusson to talk about a topic that is so relevant regardless of what you do in life: taking action & procrastination. All results you’ll ever get in your life or business will come from the actions you take or don’t
I’ve wanted to be a leader for a long time. Even at the start of my corporate career in my early 20s, when I would be put onto internal courses and asked by the facilitators “Do you see yourself as a leader or a follower?” I’d always put myself into the
In this video, I am interviewing Karen Davis and Alex Mill on their remarkable book How to Get The Most Out of Coaching, which is proudly part of the curriculum for Ankush Jain Coaching Career School 2022. Karen and Alex are two highly successful coaches who understand in great depth
This is the sixth in a series of videos that I am releasing to introduce the faculty members for the masterclasses in my upcoming AJC coaching career school, which is focused on helping coaches be more prosperous and wealthy. There are a few spots left so click on the link
When I started coaching it seemed like everyone was either selling a program to help coaches create six figures in an incredibly short space of time or they were selling courses around creating high-value packages and signing clients for large fees. It appeared that I just needed to know some kind
I had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Leamy for his podcast One Word on the topic of prosperity and how it relates to coaching. It was a really great interview which you can check below. In this conversation, we also spoke about my coaching career school, which is
Today I’m happy to share this video where I introduced Dr Mark Howard, who’s a colleague, friend and mentor of mine. Last year we released our online course together for coaches looking to build their coaching practices in an impactful way and we’ve had great feedback on this. That’s one
This is the fourth in a series of videos that I am releasing to introduce the faculty members for my upcoming AJC coaching career school. Today’s video is with a man who has had a profound impact on my life, both personally and professionally and I call him my secret
I love helping coaches eliminate blind spots or struggles that they have that get in the way of them building their coaching practice. One question I sometimes get asked is “what if I’m not ready to coach certain people?” and there’s some good news and bad news about that. The good
I’ve had a lot of conversations over the years with people looking to find a career that they really love. They’d tell me how they were searching for their passion or their purpose.I felt very lucky that I had found this with coaching and people were coming to me to help them find their
I was speaking to a coach the other day about this profession and I was saying that whilst it might seem easy for me to tell other coaches that creating clients is very doable because I now have a full practice and I’m a decade into this profession, it doesn’t make that statement any less
according to The Three Principles understanding the achievement of goals doesn’t create a positive feeling in us and not achieving goals doesn’t create a negative feeling in us either.The question I often get asked is, if that is true why do we do anything? Surely if the achievement of goals didn’t motivate us,
This is a snippet of Keith Blevens, a world-renowned 3 Principles practitioner speaking at The Powerful Men’s Immersion in March 2022 on the topic of achievements and its relationship with The Three Principles. Keith Blevins, PhD is a licensed psychologist, therapist & educator training thousands of health care professionals in
when I started coaching the biggest challenge and obstacle seemed to be finding people to talk to who could be potential coaching clients.I would hear people say that clients are everywhere and I’d hear successful coaches talk about how they created clients from people they already knew, but I would dismiss that. I would think “Well,
How do you be more present? This is a question I used to think about all the time. Ironically because I was thinking about it I wasn’t actually present.I tried loads of things. Meditation, waking up earlier, eating healthier, working out…You name it, I tried it. Whilst these things were sometimes helpful in the
This is the third in a series of videos I am releasing about the faculty members for Ankush Jain Coaching Career School and today’s is one I am particularly excited to release – a conversation with Cathy Casey. Whether you attend the school or not, check out the video below
I am assuming that most people will know one of the world’s top coaches, Steve Chandler, who will deliver the final masterclass for my upcoming coaching school which starts in September 2022. Whether you do or do not, check out the video below which we recorded last week and includes
I can now confirm that Amir Karkouti will deliver the first masterclass for the upcoming Ankush Jain coaching career school in September. We will be discussing getting the most out of the school but so much more. We recorded this short video introducing Amir to those who don’t know him
Something I see coaches struggle with is understanding why people would pay them a higher fee than others charge. If you’re coming from the mindset of teaching someone something – which was the mindset I was coming from when I started coaching – then it does seem difficult as to why someone
For most of my life I was faking it. I was portraying a persona that I thought would either make me look good or at least wouldn’t make me look bad in front of my peer group. See, the thing was, I was really insecure. I had been bullied, I wasn’t
Amongst the most significant shifts that occurred in my life after I started coaching was my shift around income and money.I had numerous long-held beliefs around money that were unconscious to me (and unhelpful). These included things like: “Earning more than X amount of money is greedy and anyone that actively pursues earning money above
What I didn’t appreciate when I started coaching was how much of a difference the client makes to the outcome of any coaching engagement. I used to think that clients were buying me & my services and it was solely my job to create the changes that they were

When I work with coaches nowadays, especially those who are using social media to share content and create coaching conversations, I’ll often look through their feed – whether on Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn – to see how they are presenting themselves as a coach out in the world.
For years I never thought of myself as someone who had a strong sense of intuition or that I could trust my gut. I was a massive overthinker and I would drive myself crazy looking at a decision from every single angle. Besides, I’d often make a decision on default when I
When I joined Steve Chandler’s coaching school in 2014, one of the first things he suggested for coaches wanting to create clients was to build a community of people who know you and follow your work. Now, building a community is not necessary and there are coaches who have built thriving coaching practices

I’ve now hosted 15 powerful Men’s Immersions and had dozens of men go through that program.Whilst these men have come from different countries have been of different ages, different backgrounds and all look different, I have noticed a theme running through the conversations that I’ve had with many of these
And it’s excellent. There are so many golden nuggets in here from Karen Davis and Alex Mill. It’s one of those books that I read and wondered why no one else has thought of writing it before. It makes so much sense.I’m considering making it compulsory reading for anyone who is thinking of
I’ve been working with Steve Chandler as my business coach for over seven years now, without a break or gap. Often in our conversations, I share an interaction I have had with a potential client who didn’t end up with them hiring me, and I’d be open and interested in what
I’ve been asked this question a number of times and there’s always some challenge in answering it because each immersion is different and explaining it in words don’t make justice for the depth of this experience. But I’ll try anyway. You see, these Men’s Immersions I do are highly experiential.
One thing I was told early on when I was a coach was that I needed to charge high fees and attract “high fee clients”. All I seemingly had to do to become a successful coach was to change my mindset and beliefs around charging high amounts and I would attract people
I had heard Steve Chandler and Steve Hardison talk about BEING; It’s not about what you DO but who you BE…and I kind of got it, but I didn’t really.I was privileged enough to read an early manuscript of “The Ultimate Coach” by Amy Hardison and I was amazed, touched, humbled and
Any habit that you have can be changed. This is one of the powerful implications of The Three Principles understanding.Because a habit is just what happens when you take action based on a thought you have over and over again.Just like any thought can change, habits can change too and they are not fixed

I have a saying that I share with coaches: In coaching, similar to in love, you can almost always propose too soon but you can almost never propose too late.When I started out coaching, I wondered how to make a proposal and I’d put a lot of thought and importance into
I used to think that some things about me were just because of my fixed personality and they made me who I was. What I didn’t realise back then is that this simply isn’t true. But, as long as I believed in it, it kept me caged in a prison of
The principles in and of themselves are facts about how we experience reality, they’re not a technique to use or a method of creating more money.Having said that, I have found that as I’ve explored the Principles, they have helped me in generating more income as a coach and also helped

This is a very rich conversation for anyone interested to understand more about the intersection between these two understandings. You’ll walk away knowing: 00:00 – Introduction about Dominic Scaffidi.
For most of my life, I lived very reactively. But it didn’t seem like I had a choice. It just seemed that events happened and I would feel the effect of them. I thought that’s just how life is. I believed either that certain events make us feel in a certain

In this conversation, Ankush and Dominic Scaffidi talk about the details of creating corporate coaching clients, more specifically, how to make an initial meeting with potential business clients as effectively as possible. Indeed, despite minor differences, this process can also be applied to private coaching conversations. Use the timestamps below
One of the things I’ve noticed over the years is the incredible ability of humans to rationalise a misunderstanding. A common way I’ve seen people doing this is through the process of convincing themselves that when they’re not taking action they didn’t want to do it anyways. For example, if

I’ve been reluctant on sharing this in the past because I don’t want this to be seen as a dig on anyone in particular. Everyone I’ve met in the Three Principles community has been wonderful, open, giving and a joy to be around. I’m grateful to have hired 3P mentors and teachers,
