I realized that if I wanted to get to the next stage of my business, I needed to literally get on stage!

When I Stopped Settling, I Started Flourishing

Marc Cardon The Professor of Happiness - How new coaches with full hearts and empty calendars can fulfill their true purpose and fill their businesses with happiness

They call me the Professor of Happiness because of my background teaching happiness in higher education. Oddly enough, it was then, that I was my most unfulfilled until I discovered life coaching. I trained to become a life coach and instantly loved the merger of happiness studies and coaching. I finally saw concepts that I had studied, being applied and impacting people’s lives. In the beginning, I gave away my coaching, charging as little as $75 for nine sessions. Eventually, I got to the point where I made enough money to hire a coach.

I learned quickly that everything speeds up when you hire a coach. When other coaches ask me how to make money coaching, I tell them, ‘You have to hire a coach’. You can’t coach other people without having a coach, yourself. We are trained to talk people through their challenges, but usually, it’s our own blind spots that prevent us from growing. When I wanted to write a book, I hired a coach who helped me to not only write a book, but to own what it means to be a best-selling author. When wanted to get to the next stage of my business, I needed to literally get on stage! I joined Majeed’s Make Money Speaking program.

Majeed give me carte blanche to talk about things differently than I had when I was presenting to college students. I learned that bringing my personality and experiences to the stage helped my presentation come alive. We even made an unexpected connection between happiness, coaching and my time in the roller derby. I learned I could be playful and unapologetic and still deliver a powerful and serious message.

As a direct result of the program, we scored 15 paid stages around the country in just two months; one of those was a keynote to over 200 people. On top of that, I was hired by a top international coaching program to train coaches across the country, I’ve been invited to co-teach at the Happiness Studies Academy, and I have increased my coaching rates by 400%.

Within 3 months, I had a book, paid stages and opportunities that I never before dreamed about! This is a zero to infinity story, all because I invested in myself and chose not to settle.
