Performance Coaching for Entrepreneurs
You could be a solo-preneur creating content, running an investment fund, building a VC-backed company or a leader with a P&L.
It’s for those who are striving to build a fulfilling life for themselves and others.
Coaching that focuses on self-examination and optimizing one’s life.
Resulting in decisions with greater ROI on time and building high performing organizations for the leader.
Why it’s Important
Because you don't believe in walking aimlessly and being a reactive person to the world. You want to design your own plan instead of slotting to defaults.
Normalcy hurts. Rather, you strive to be remarkable. To lead an interesting life. Driven by intrinsic passions instead of extrinsic perceptions.
This starts with introspection. Carl Jung noted self-development as the ultimate form of psychology and that’s the start for those who wish to go from 80 to 100.
The person you become will influence the people around you. To build a better society, it starts with helping individuals become the best they can be.
That’s why I’m pursuing self-mastery and that’s why you should be too. It’s not just about making ourselves the best we can be for selfish reasons but to improve the society we live in.
“Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
The Approach
It’s a series of conversations. Could be one session, could be 10, 30 or even years. Up to us.
I’m not going to tell you what to do. Everyone thinks they want a map telling them exactly what they should do.
But you know that doesn’t work. That’s why you are here.
Rather, it’s constantly digging at the problem. In some cases you already know the direction but it’s about clearing the way towards executing on it.
In cases like introspection, it can include collecting data on areas in your life that energize and engage you to learn what your true strength areas are. Could even be questioning defaults like financial freedom, work life balance, and retirement.
What The Result Looks Like
After working together you should have a deeper understanding of what you actually prioritize in life. What you consider success to be. What beliefs have been driving your operating system. A list of hypotheses you can systematically test to turn your dream into reality. A mindset where introspection becomes a practice.
“Life and work can get so hectic that it’s hard to slow down and be introspective. The coaching program with Dan was tremendously helpful in gaining clarity on my strengths, weaknesses, and most suitable career path. Dan was open and honest, constantly challenged my thinking, and always showed genuine interest in our conversations.
”
“It’s important to find what keeps you engaged at work beyond the salary, and make sure your long term direction can fulfill these needs. Daniel’s open ear and insightful questions made me think deep and hard about what drives me and provided a sense of confidence in my long term career goals.”
How Much?
It’s $250 USD per session.
You don’t pay for the first 9 sessions. If you elect to schedule a 10th then you agree to pay for all 10 (total of $2,500).
Why the weird structure? I’m leaving it up to you to decide if working with me was worth the investment and you wish to continue. If I didn’t add value then we should stop. If I did, then booking the 10th would tell me I’ve earned your trust.
What’s a session? A single conversation. It could be 30 minutes or 2 hours. It’s however long it takes to dive into the problem together.
What Do I Bring?
The first step to self-development is introspection. If anything, I hope my weird career indicates to you the choices I’ve made from introspection.
Though you do not have access to my daily journals since 2014, I welcome you to read through my essays on introspection or writings in my newsletter for insight to my thinking.
The fact is, I will not only need to be curious about you, but I will need to empathize with you, try to understand you, build systems with you and grow with you.
From interviewing entrepreneurs, building systems to work in fields I wasn’t qualified for, leaving prestige to reading as much as I can on people, my life’s been dedicated to challenging conventions.
As someone who has built a life of challenging conventions, studying people and practicing introspection daily, I believe I have the experience in ‘skin in the game’ to work with you.
