We recently connected with Brandon Barber and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Brandon, thanks for joining us today. What were some of the most unexpected problems you’ve faced in your business and how did you resolve those issues?
We were an event driven company. We did 2 events a month for 19 years. Covid hit and shut everything down for events. We went from 9 employees to 3 in a span of 3 months because we didn’t need an events team. Our events stopped so the way we obtained coaching clients stopped. We had to let our coaches go. I made Covid, the government, society and life in general villains, which made me a victim. I went into FREEZE mode and couldn’t move. I felt paralyzed. I was in that space for a couple of months until I hit a threshold and made some decisions. I stopped making villains of people and situations. I took ownership of the issue, stopped blaming and complaining and got to work. I looked around a saw how others in my industry were shifting. Saw that people were doing virtual events. I found the experts in the arena of virtual events, learned everything we could and created a studio in our office. Learned all the technical pieces, all the nuances, started writing programs, went full steam ahead with marketing and sales, on a shoestring budget. We created some of our best work. Our most impactful material and delivery of that material. People had massive shifts and still do with our virtual events. We bet on ourselves and we won.
Brandon, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
For over 20 years I have worked with individuals to help them create successful businesses, thriving relationships and so much more love, appreciation and fulfillment in their lives.
What I have noticed is that most people don’t even realize that they have “blind spots” where it comes to certain areas of their lives, and these blind spots are what are actually keeping them from their own success and happiness.
We have a tool that helps us identify those areas, and we teach real-action tools to change them.
Through my own challenges with mental health, anxiety, depression, cancer, & work/life imbalances I have taken on the shadow work that allows me to share my journey, what works for me, and how to help others implement it in their lives…
Why I created our Coaching Programs:
Over the past twenty years I have seen so many people stuck in thought patterns and behaviors that are literally robbing them of reaching their greatest potential.
I believe that these thought patterns and behaviors can be changed. In fact, our greatest success is the success of those that work with us. We have seen lives transformed, relationships repaired and businesses thrive after working in our programs!
If you are not living the truly extraordinary life you deserve, that stops right here and now…once you jump in and work with us!
We will help you:
Learn tools that will push you through the resistance that is keeping you “stuck” where you are.
Eliminate fears of rejection and failure.
Move beyond self-judgement
Manage stress so can find more fulfillment and joy in your journey

A high percentage of our clients find that their intimate relationships show a dramatic increase in intimate interaction and connection.
A high number of our clients notice an overall better awareness & understanding of themselves and report a feeling of purpose in their roles in the world.
The majority of our clients find themselves more organized, procrastinate less & can eliminate the need to “get it all done” and “do it all” themselves.

When asked how they handle stress after finishing our coaching program, our clients say that their stress levels have gone down from an average of 9 to a 5.
Every one of our clients report that our coaching helps with every aspect of their lives, not just business.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
I was diagnosed with Cancer 2019. Covid hit in 2020. All of that effected our business and how we did things. I needed to slow down, but still maintain a business. I needed to focus on health but still show up. I learned the art of protocols. Tools that became musts in my life so I could vitalize myself, and therefore vitalize my clients. I learned how to prioritize and manage time and energy with laser focus effectiveness.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
We created a raving fan culture. Always asking these questions;
What am I not noticing about my clients right now?
What do my clients love about me?
What do my clients love about other companies?
What do my clients need right now?
What will my clients need in 5 years?
What can strengthen my relationship with my clients?
What can I do to get my clients more excited?
