We were lucky to catch up with Gary Quinn recently and have shared our conversation below.
Gary, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
Starting my business was not just about having an idea—it was about taking that idea and turning it into something tangible, one step at a time. Looking back, it was a journey filled with excitement, challenges, and unexpected opportunities.
It all began when I realized that people were drawn to my energy, my insights, and my ability to help them shift their mindset. Unlike many life coaches who rely solely on structured methodologies, I have a strong intuitive ability—I can read an individual’s energy, sense what blocks may be in their way, and help them align with their authentic purpose. Whether it’s in their personal life or business, I guide people toward success in a way that feels natural and true to them.
The real turning point came when I started sharing these insights in small ways—through conversations, advice to friends, and eventually speaking engagements. People would tell me how my words made an impact, and I started to think, What if I could do this on a larger scale?
Once the idea took hold, I knew I had to take action. I began by writing down my thoughts, structuring them into key concepts, and testing them in real-world settings. The next step was research—looking into how other thought leaders built their brands, how to create a platform, and how to reach people who needed this message.
I started with workshops and small speaking engagements. I put myself out there, often speaking for free, just to gain experience and see what resonated with audiences. Every event gave me more clarity and confidence. What stood out was that people weren’t just interested in general coaching—they were drawn to my intuitive approach. They were fascinated by how I could pinpoint exactly what was holding them back and guide them in making immediate breakthroughs.
I knew I had to solidify my brand, so I invested time in creating a professional presence—designing a website, developing content, and writing my first book. Writing was a key part of the process because it allowed me to organize my teachings into something tangible that could reach a broader audience. It wasn’t easy—there were moments of doubt, moments of exhaustion—but I kept going.
At the same time, I started networking. I connected with publishers, media contacts, and industry professionals who could help bring my work to a larger stage. Each connection opened a door—whether it was a book deal, a TV appearance, or a chance to speak at a major event.
Momentum built slowly, but consistently. After publishing my first book, doors started opening. Invitations to speak internationally, opportunities to coach high-profile clients, and media appearances all became part of my journey. What started as an idea evolved into a brand, and from a brand into a thriving business.
What sets my work apart is the ability to help people get unstuck—not just through traditional coaching techniques, but by intuitively understanding their energy and the deeper patterns at play. I help individuals and businesses step into their highest potential by recognizing what is authentic and what is holding them back.
Today, my business continues to grow, reaching people across the globe. The journey from idea to execution was not instant, but every step I took brought me closer to where I am now.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m an international intuitive life coach, bestselling author, and motivational speaker dedicated to helping people unlock their full potential and live with greater clarity, confidence, and success. My journey into this field began with a deep passion for personal transformation, human potential, and spiritual growth. Early on, I realized that many people felt stuck in limiting beliefs, negative patterns, or fear-based thinking, preventing them from achieving their dreams. That realization fueled my commitment to developing tools, strategies, and coaching programs that empower individuals to shift their mindset, take bold action, and create the life they truly desire.
I provide a range of services, including one-on-one coaching, corporate training, keynote speaking, and online workshops. My books, such as The Yes Frequency, Living in the Spiritual Zone, and Become Your Own Business Guru, serve as powerful guides for readers seeking motivation, clarity, and success. Through my work, I help clients overcome obstacles, build confidence, develop a success-driven mindset, and cultivate inner peace. Whether they are executives, artists, entrepreneurs, or individuals seeking personal growth, I give them the tools to transform their lives and reach their highest potential.
What sets me apart is my ability to blend practical success strategies with spiritual wisdom, helping clients make real changes from the inside out. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that success is not just about external achievements but also about aligning with one’s true purpose, energy, and intuition. I take a hands-on, intuitive approach, guiding people toward breakthroughs that create lasting impact in their personal and professional lives.
I am most proud of the countless transformations I have witnessed in my clients—seeing people break free from limitations, step into their confidence, and manifest their dreams is the most rewarding part of my work. I’ve had the privilege of working with high-profile clients, celebrities, and business leaders, but what truly fulfills me is seeing everyday individuals step into their power and create extraordinary lives.
For those who are new to my work, I want them to know that change is possible, and success is within reach. Whether you are looking to gain clarity, overcome fear, build better relationships, or attract abundance, I am here to guide and support you on that journey. My brand is about empowerment, authenticity, and taking inspired action. If you’re ready to shift your mindset, elevate your life, and start saying “yes” to your dreams, I invite you to explore my books, coaching programs, and speaking events.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
That depends on the industry, but in general, the most effective strategies for growing clientele include:
Referrals & Word of Mouth – Encouraging satisfied clients to refer others through incentives or organic recommendations.
Networking & Relationship Building – Attending industry events, joining professional groups, and maintaining strong personal connections.
Social Media & Online Presence – Regularly posting valuable content, engaging with followers, and utilizing targeted ads.
Content Marketing – Providing helpful blogs, videos, or resources that establish expertise and attract potential clients.
Offering Exceptional Service – Ensuring every client experience is outstanding so they return and recommend your services.
Cold Outreach & Strategic Partnerships – Reaching out to potential clients directly and collaborating with complementary businesses.
Email Marketing & Follow-Ups – Staying in touch with potential and past clients through newsletters and personalized messages.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I believe my reputation was built through a combination of authenticity, consistency, and meaningful connections. I’ve always made it a priority to cultivate genuine relationships, both personally and professionally, because trust and loyalty are everything.
Emotional intelligence has also played a big role. Understanding people, reading energy, and providing insight have helped me stand out. Whether through my writing, speaking engagements, or personal interactions, I strive to offer clarity and value.
Another key factor is consistency. I show up, deliver, and bring my best to every opportunity. Over time, that builds credibility. My book signings, media appearances, and engagements with high-level professionals have all been part of positioning myself in a way that resonates with people.
And of course, energy is everything. I’ve been told people are drawn to my energy, and I think that’s because I operate from a place of passion and purpose. When you genuinely love what you do and the people you work with, it naturally attracts the right opportunities and connections.
