Hey Team, I’m writing this as I sit at the airport, flying back to Toronto from Miami. It’s been a whirlwind week, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how essential it is to take intentional breaks—especially after periods of intense focus and hard work. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that non-stop hustle is the only way to hit our goals. But here’s the truth: pushing without rest leads to burnout, diminished creativity, and a lack of clarity. Taking a step back isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessary act of productivity. Here’s why: ⚡ Recharge Mental and Physical Energy ⚡ Gain Fresh Perspective Breaks allow you to: 1️⃣ Re-think Your Approach 🧐 Time off gives you space to refine your strategies, reconsider goals, and realign with your bigger picture. 2️⃣ Strengthen Your Purpose 🔥 When you’re always in motion, it’s easy to forget your why. Rest rejuvenates your passion and sharpens your focus. 3️⃣ Plan with Intention 🎯 Coming back from a break allows you to make strategic decisions that drive you closer to your vision, instead of just reacting to what’s urgent. Taking time to rest isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a strategic move that boosts productivity and creativity. It’s an investment in yourself and your success. 💬 If you’ve taken a moment to focus on YOU today, drop “Break” in the chat and share what it’s done for you! Let’s crush this upcoming week with clarity and renewed purpose! Cheers, Chris

Here’s how to stop getting rejected every time (and start closing more). The majority of salespeople approach cold-calling the same way: “Hey, this is [Your Name] with [XYZ Company], and the reason I called you was…” If you use this approach, you’ll sound like everyone else, so you’ll be treated like everyone else—with “We’re not interested” followed by the prospect hanging up. Instead, your opening line should trigger curiosity: “Hey is this John? Yeah, it’s just Kiel Couturier with ABC Company. I was wondering if you could possibly help me out for a moment…” (Slow the pace.) But still be Enthusiastic as hell, sharp as a tack, and a figure of authority. Then follow with this: “I’m not sure if you’re the person I should be talking to, but I called to see who would be responsible in your company for looking at any possible hidden gaps that could be causing you to [negative consequence].” This is just a quick example to show you that cold-calling works—if you do it the right way.

Hey everyone, I'm based out of Toronto, Canada, and over the past 23 years as an entrepreneur, I've learned a huge amount about running a business. I'm really good at what I do (facilitation & healing), which is giving me greater confidence, which in turn is helping me sell my skills and workshops more effectively. I'm still relying on repeat business and referrals mostly, and I want to get better at reaching out to new clients - I dislike calling it "cold calling', and it's no longer about calling people out of the blue...I want to employ several new technique, using several kinds of media, to generate more leads, and sell higher value workshops to more clients.

Good morning everyone! I hope you’re all fired up to attack the day today. I challenge everyone to write down your goals for what you’re going to accomplish today. Shoot big, and do whatever it takes to achieve them. Go into today with the abundance mindset. You are deserving of whatever you desire. Remember it all starts with the belief! 🙏🏻
