Strategic Coach

Imagine it’s a couple of decades from now, at a milestone birthday party, and your kid gets up to give a toast and says, “The biggest lesson you’ve taught me is to live my life to the fullest.” The impact of living fully and its legacy is one we cannot overestimate, and it’s exactly what member Kary Oberbrunner and Coach Chad Johnson talk about in this video. Finding freedom of time, money, relationship, and purpose does more than fulfill our lives—it creates powerful ripple effects for those we care about most. #Entrepreneurs #Business #Growth #Mindset #Entrepreneurial

Entrepreneurs have to become experts at persistence and figuring out how to transform failure into success. No one knows this better than Strategic Coach co-founder Dan Sullivan. At 34 years old, he suddenly found himself divorced and bankrupt. His once clear future had disappeared, and he wasn’t sure how to pull himself through his two largest failures. But then, after three months, he had a moment of clarity: how he handled this moment would dictate the quality of the rest of his life. His biggest realization? He needed to own his mistakes, now and for the future. He took 100% responsibility for both situations, relieving everyone else involved. With his new “mistake ownership” mindset and determined to start going for what he really wanted instead of trying to justify those wants, Dan turned over a new leaf. Of course, he knew there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be future failures. But he knew that he needed to build a foundation that could lead to future success. And future success did come. Not even five years later, Dan’s persistence paved the way for his two greatest successes: Meeting Babs Smith and forming the beginning of their business and life relationship. Starting Strategic Coach and building its incredible community. Now, as one of the most respected entrepreneurial coaches in the world, Dan’s advice to anyone facing failure or uncertainty is: “When you think you’ve had the worst day of your life, capture the negativity of that day and use it to transform your mindsets, your capabilities, and your vision of the future in a way that, over time, your worst day becomes your biggest breakthrough.” #Motivation #Inspiration #Growth #Entrepreneurs #Mindset

Every big leap begins with courage. Entrepreneurs know the feeling—standing on the edge of something big, unsure of the next step. As Dan Sullivan says: “Your next breakthrough will require a commitment where you don’t yet have the capability or confidence—only courage.” What bold step will you take this year? #Entrepreneurs #Inspiration #Motivation #Throwback

Was it rock bottom or a springboard to the top? It was August 15, 1978, and our co-founder, Dan Sullivan, faced divorce in the morning and bankruptcy in the afternoon. At that moment, he thought he had hit rock bottom. Today, he sees how his “failures” led to his greatest successes: meeting his wife and business partner, Babs Smith, and creating Strategic Coach. The lesson? Shift your mindset to view “rock bottom” as a springboard to opportunity, mindset transformation, and vision clarity instead. That way, you’ll propel yourself back to the surface and beyond. #Entrepreneurs #Transformation #Growth #Motivation

Struggling With Complexity In Your Business? In October 1982, Strategic Coach co-founder Dan Sullivan had a game-changing realization that led to his creation of The Strategy Circle, a thinking tool that transformed his business and life—and later became the foundation of The Strategic Coach Program. At the time, Dan was coaching individuals across different industries, helping them tackle one common challenge: overwhelming complexity. On a quiet Sunday afternoon, inspiration struck, and a simple diagram emerged—a tool to transform chaos into clarity and action. The Strategy Circle worked so well that it reshaped how Dan approached coaching and entrepreneurship. Over 40 years later, this tool continues to help entrepreneurs around the world simplify their thinking, align their goals, and unlock transformational growth. Even today, its influence can be felt throughout The Strategic Coach Program in many of our thinking tools. Want to see where it all started? The original Strategy Circle is on display in our Toronto office—a powerful reminder of the breakthrough that launched a movement.
