    Marc's Reading List That Covers Mindset, Power, Beating Burnout (And More)

    Looking for your next great read? In this episode, Marc shares five (okay, six!) books that have shaped how he thinks about mindset, power, and productivity, spanning over 60 years of publication. From a rock star's surprising business wisdom to a productivity formula that could save you from burnout, these are the books Marc says are worth your time! Do you have something that helps coaches, like a program, a product or a service? If you'd like to get your offer out to about 100,000 coaches, Marc currently has openings for partnerships (with a special summer offer), and you can get the details and book a call to chat with him about it at www.jvwithmarc.com/!  This episode was edited and produced by Marc's brother Matt and his team and PodAssist, and right now they're offering listeners of this show a very special discount on their services. You can now get your brand-new audio podcast launched in as little as 2 weeks for just $297 US, which is $400 off their regularly-priced package by mentioning this show. That's just $297 to get personally coached and supported by Matt, from concept to your show going live, and all you have to do is visit PodAssist.com to learn more and book a call. But hurry, being a small team their spots are limited, and don't forget to mention that Marc sent you!  What You'll Hear In This Episode: The "Robinson Crusoe" lesson from one book that explains why people stay stuck in bad relationships, jobs, and businesses long after they know better. Why one specific book is the most highlighted, dog-eared book in Marc's entire collection and what made it so impactful to him. The surgeon analogy that reframes what it really means to be "ruthless but not evil" when making tough decisions. What a famous rockstar's book taught Marc about treating yourself like a business, and why so many coaches resist that mindset. A formula from one of his favourite books for high-quality work, and why intensity of focus matters more than hours logged. The "one major initiative" strategy Marc got from a book that helps fight burnout, and how Marc restructured his own calendar around it. Why Marc no longer forces himself to finish a bad book, and what changed his mind on this over the years.

    The Wrong Way to Approach Prospects (And What to Do Instead)

    Is your inbox being flooded with pitches that just miss the mark? In this episode, Marc breaks down the three most common, yet ineffective, outreach methods used to approach prospective clients today and offers a proven alternative for long-term success!  Do you have something that helps coaches, like a program, a product or a service? If you'd like to get your offer out to about 100,000 coaches, Marc currently has openings for partnerships (with a special summer offer), and you can get the details and book a call to chat with him about it at www.jvwithmarc.com/!  This episode was edited and produced by Marc's brother Matt and his team and PodAssist, and right now they're offering listeners of this show a very special discount on their services.

But hurry, being a small team their spots are limited, and don't forget to mention that Marc sent you!  What You'll Hear In This Episode: How the "me, me, me, me" approach to messaging completely ignores the prospect's perspective and an example of one that hit his inbox recently. The approach that puts potential clients on the defensive immediately and why expecting a response to a negative critique rarely leads to business. The real reasons Marc avoids "disguised selling" and vague small talk. A lesson from Marc's past life in real estate on how one agent successfully listed notoriously difficult FSBOs (For Sale By Owners) by leading with value. How outlasting impatient competitors and showing up consistently without outright selling builds trust and lowers a prospect's guard. The number one question coaches must ask themselves before reaching out to potential clients to ensure they are providing genuine value.
