Success Stories
I wanted first say thank you. Thank you for helping me bring my life to the next level. I met Phillip a few years ago and had the opportunity to work with him in business. I would always tell Phillip these crazy ideas that i had during this time. I remember the day that he looked at me and said what are you going to do with these ideas you have? I was puzzled at this point, because I had no idea. Phillip helped me get a plan together to accomplish my first major goal. I wanted to have a competitive surf clinic for all ages in my area Cocoa Beach, FL. Phillip taught me how to set daily goals that were obtainable for me that also help me towards my major goal. At first I didn't think it would work considering he has no idea about surfing other than it takes place in the ocean. I took a chance and did what he said on a daily basis. I followed his instruction of setting times, dates, and the activities that would be involved. I noticed that the small goals I was setting I was accomplishing and it started to build my confidence. Today march 2nd i just completed my first clinic here in cocoa beach. I set a goal of 20 students, I had 21 that participated. By Phillip coaching me through this process of setting and acting on my goals. I have accomplished what i set out to do and that’s help other’s in the competitive surf arena. We have many more events set up now and I’m also coaching on a consistent basis. It started with and idea, and now its reality! Thanks so much Phillip for your coaching and helping me believe in myself. Its the small things that make the difference i have learned.
God Bless!

After years of confusion and struggle in the job world, I finally found my calling as an entrepreneur in 2003. To my delight, I thoroughly enjoyed starting my own business and it prospered accordingly. By 2005 the business was thriving and I was dominating my niche industry.
In 2006, however, things started falling apart; with no experience in how to handle professional success, money that seemed so abundant was just vanishing. More importantly, my personal life was in shambles. My wife had filed for divorce, I was not being a father to my kids, my health was poor and I was depressed and unhappy. Attempts to reinvigorate myself and fix the situation failed; I was at a loss. I had little hope of saving my marriage or my business.
When I first started working with Phil, we began an assessment of five major areas of my life. An honest appraisal revealed an average “rating” of 2 (in a scale of 1 to 10) in all areas, professional and personal. I’m sure glad Phil knew what to do, because I didn’t! We started with an outline of daily scripture, prayer, scheduling and personal development. Phil also helped me on a very practical level to address my immediate situation; saving my business and marriage while I was growing personally. With the accountability and guidance of our regular consultations, I found I was actually able to accomplish a large percent of the things that I had committed to doing in our meetings.
Although at first I could not quite see how I was going to get out of the fix I had gotten into, two important things started to happen. Firstly, I found that hope had returned to my life. Having some idea of where I am going, a plan to get there and accountability to someone turned out to be the magic formula for hope. Secondly, my life actually began to improve! Without going into all the details, let me just say that things are better than they’ve been in many, many years. I’m in deeply in love with my wife again (more importantly she’s in love with me too), my kids are enjoying their “new” dad, and business is on an exciting and positive track.
From time to time friends ask me if my “executive coach” is worth the cost. I answer: absolutely! It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my life.
