Most people are living a life that’s not even close to the life of their dreams. Some people are living parts of their dream, but they feel something is missing. Many feel stuck in this season of life or go through their day with a sense that they were made for something more. In a word, life has been an overall disappointment. The reason? We are all just conforming to the world around us, never stopping to ask ourselves who we truly are and what we truly want out of life.

The secret to a fulfilling life is to figure out who you are, what dreams light you up, what you care deeply about, and then unashamedly live as your truest, most authentic self in spite of what everyone around you is doing or saying. In today’s culture this is called being a “rebel”—which simply means: do it your way. But how?

In this powerful session, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and 7-figure entrepreneur Graham Cochrane teaches his 5 part R.E.B.E.L. Framework which will give you actionable exercises and steps to uncover your uniqueness, create a personalized vision for your life and unpack a simple way to discover your purpose.

In this episode, I share that I've been creating a special series of podcast episodes called "The Mark Mason Sessions" for another podcast that I produce, Cliff's Notes on Profitable Coaching. In this series, I'm coaching my close personal friend, Mark Mason, on how to develop the coaching aspect of his online business.

My favorite aspect of coaching is witnessing the transformation in the life experiences of those I work with. I find it even more rewarding when the clients I work with apply what they've learned and share their knowledge to positively influence others.

That's precisely what Mark Mason did just one week after session #5 of The Mark Mason Sessions. Mark published episode #263 of his Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast.

In this episode, I share Mark's most recent episode so you can hear the insights and takeaways he gained from our latest coaching session.
