Kent V.

Some people saw the winner in you.

Before you ever had proof.
Before you had results.
Before you had the confidence to say it out loud yourself.

Think about that for a moment.

Someone believed in you first.

Not because of your resume.
Not because of your track record.
Just because they saw something real in you.

Great leaders do that.

They hype you when you have nothing to show yet.
They see your potential before you recognize it.
They speak to your future, not your fears.

And that changes everything.

Here are 5 ways to show real gratitude to the people who supported you early:

1️⃣ Say thank you in real words
2️⃣ Lift someone else the way they lifted you
3️⃣ Keep doing the work they believed you could do
4️⃣ Be the kind of person people feel safe betting on
5️⃣ Tell them the exact moment that shifted things for you

Your story has their fingerprints all over it.

Do not forget the people who believed in you before the world did.

And if you want to pay it forward,
go believe in someone who is still learning to believe in themselves.

Who believed in your before you were ready?

Harsh Truth:

Most people stay stuck, thinking about what they don’t have.

They think about rest when at work.

They think about work when at rest.

And this split drains people more than the workload itself.

Here’s what actually helps:

→ Work in clear blocks so you know when to stop
→ Move your body so stress has somewhere to go
→ Take real rest days so your mind can actually reset
→ End your day with a short review so tomorrow is lighter
→ Create a simple plan for the day so you are not guessing
→ Focus on one task at a time so your brain stops juggling
→ Turn off notifications during deep work so you get real progress

One focused hour beats five distracted hours.
One true day off beats a whole week of sloppy half rest.

You do not need perfect balance.
You need presence.

Work when it is time to work.
Rest when it is time to rest.

Life gets a lot clearer when you stop living it in your head.

What’s one thing you do that helps you stay present?

These days leaders obsess over KPIs.
But they forget the most important ones are not numbers:

They are people.

Everyone wants better results.
Higher performance.
Clear progress.

But leaders often look at the scoreboard
before looking at the people who make the work move.

Here is the truth many avoid:

When leaders take care of their people,
People take care of the numbers.

A supported team tries harder.
A trusted team solves problems sooner.
A valued team stays focused when work gets heavy.

Here are the KPIs that matter long before any metric shows up:

1️⃣ Do people feel safe sharing their ideas
2️⃣ Do they understand what you expect from them
3️⃣ Do they feel appreciated in a way that is real
4️⃣ Do they get feedback they can use right away
5️⃣ Do they have the tools to do their best work
6️⃣ Do they believe you want them to grow
7️⃣ Do they feel steady, not tense, when you walk into the room

If these are strong, performance rises.
If these are weak, no dashboard can hide it.

The numbers reflect the environment you create.
The environment reflects how you lead.

Care for the people,
and the results will follow.

Most people think learning is about reading a book…

Or listening to someone talk about a cool idea.

But real learning doesn’t work like that.

The stuff that sticks?
The stuff that actually changes you?

👉 You learn by doing.

Here’s what actually happens when you learn:

📚 10% from reading
🎧 20% from hearing
📺 50% from watching
💬 70% from talking it through
🎤 80% from teaching or presenting it
✍️ 90% from trying it yourself

Wild, right?

You don’t remember the podcast you half-listened to.
You remember the thing you applied the same day.

So if you want to grow faster…

Stop only reading it.
Stop only hearing it.

Start talking about it.
Start practicing it all the time.

That’s how you turn info into skill.

That’s how you grow faster… month after month.

How to learn:

Everyone needs to hear this,

You can be a top-performer and still..

✅ Be unrecognized
✅ Be under-valued
✅ Be excluded

Like Reno Perry said:

Sometimes it’s not about effort...
it’s about outgrowing the environment that once fit you.

It starts quietly:

→ Your ideas hit walls instead of traction.
→ You stop feeling challenged by your clients.
→ The excitement that used to drive you now drains you.

That’s not burnout.
It’s a sign you’ve evolved past what got you here.

And here’s the truth:
Quitting can be the smartest move you’ll ever make.

If you’re feeling that pull right now, here’s what to do before you walk away:

1️⃣ Audit your energy
↳ Track what drains vs. fuels you. Clarity starts with awareness.

2️⃣ Protect your time
↳ Stop over-delivering in places that no longer align with your goals.

3️⃣ Redefine your vision
↳ Growth needs direction. Get clear on what you actually want next.

4️⃣ Build new options
↳ Don’t wait to “feel ready.” Start creating your next chapter now.

5️⃣ Exit with integrity
↳ Leave clean. Your reputation is your long-term brand equity.

Leaving doesn’t make you inconsistent.
It makes you intentional.

You’re not quitting.
You’re recalibrating.

When did you realize it was time to move on?

11 Truths That Upgrade Your Career
(learn them before it’s too late)

Most people learn these years later than they should.
And that delay slows their confidence, choices, and income.

Learn them early and your whole path speeds up.

Here’s what actually moves your career forward:

1. Hard work is not the strategy
→ People notice outcomes, not late nights
→ High effort without direction burns you out

2. Quiet work keeps you invisible
→ Value only counts when people can see it
→ Hidden impact limits your options fast

3. Skills expire faster than you expect
→ Every industry changes quicker each year
→ Fresh skills keep you flexible and ready

4. Busyness is not a winning brand
→ A packed schedule can hide poor priorities
→ Results build trust more than hours spent

5. Loyalty does not protect your role
→ Companies adjust quicker than people think
→ Staying stuck costs you growth long-term

6. Your network multiplies your options
→ Relationships open doors resumes cannot
→ Advocates help you get seen in bigger rooms

7. Raises rarely appear without action
→ Leaders need proof, not assumptions
→ Tie your work to visible improvements

8. Comfort slows your future down
→ Easy seasons make you stall quietly
→ Growth starts in places that feel new

9. Dream roles can drain you too
→ Perks do not fix being undervalued
→ A shiny job means nothing if you feel stuck

10. Your boss is not your career plan
→ Their goals shape your tasks, not your pathway
→ You decide what direction you grow toward

11. You will outgrow teams and old versions of you
→ It is normal to shift as you develop
→ Letting go creates room for real progress

Learning these early saves you years of sidesteps and confusion.
Your confidence rises.
Your decisions get sharper.
Your career finally moves forward instead of looping back.

11 Truths that Upgrade your Career Instantly

Bad culture feels like a knot in your stomach every sunday night.

Great culture gives you peace of mind.

And no matter what a company claims, 
culture is really just how a place makes you feel every single day.

If people feel stressed, ignored, or worried all the time,
then the culture is broken, even if the branding looks perfect.

Here are 10 reasons your team dreads Monday morning:

1/ No one feels heard
→ ask for input, write it down, circle back with updates

2/ Leaders only show up when something is wrong
→ schedule regular check ins focused on progress, not problems

3/ Too many “urgent” messages
→ set response windows so people can actually unplug after work

4/ Unclear expectations
→ define goals in plain language so the team knows what “good work” looks like

5/ Tension that never gets addressed
→ call a 15 minute reset meeting to clear the air before it becomes toxic

6/ People feel replaceable
→ acknowledge effort directly, not through mass messages

7/ Feedback only arrives during mistakes
→ give small, frequent coaching moments during normal days

8/ Workloads are not managed
→ review capacity weekly so burnout is caught early, not late

9/ Trust is low inside the team
→ let people own tasks fully instead of redoing their work

10/ Everyone pretends everything is fine
→ start meetings with “what’s one thing we can improve this week” to get honest voices

Culture is a daily feeling, not a slogan.
And people stay where they feel supported, not drained.

Your phone is hijacking your brain.

(and poisoning your mental health)

Most people think they are stressed because life is busy.

But the real issue?
Their brain is overloaded from constant dopamine hits.
Every scroll gives a quick spike.
Every spike creates a crash.

And those crashes stack up fast.

This is why you feel drained, foggy, or unfocused.
Your brain is trying to recover from chaos it never asked for.

Here are 7 habits that keep frying your dopamine:

1️⃣ Checking your phone before you even get out of bed
↳ Your nervous system goes straight into overload
↳ You start the day with stress instead of calm

2️⃣ Scrolling whenever you feel bored
↳ Boredom is where creativity grows
↳ Overstimulation turns everything into noise

3️⃣ Reacting to every notification
↳ Each ping pulls your brain out of focus
↳ You lose more energy than you think

4️⃣ Using your phone to escape real life
↳ Avoiding problems makes them heavier
↳ The crash after feels worse than the stress before

5️⃣ Searching for quick pleasure when you feel low
↳ The boost is temporary
↳ The drop after hits harder than the high

6️⃣ Jumping between apps all day
↳ Your brain is not built for constant switching
↳ Mental fatigue builds quietly

7️⃣ Letting your phone guide your habits
↳ Without intention, it runs your entire day
↳ The more control it has, the less control you feel

Dopamine is not the enemy.
Your phone is not the enemy either.
Losing control of your attention is the real problem.

If you want to feel better mentally,
Use your phone less.
Use real life more.

Small changes make your brain stronger than you realize.

Which one hit you hardest?

Your phone is hijacking your brain

These 16 skills pay you back forever.

Not because they’re popular, 
but because they’re timeless.

1/ Learn to sell with real conviction.
↳ If you can’t sell, you can’t scale, not your ideas, not your vision.

2/ Communicate clearly in every conversation.
↳ Clarity builds confidence. Confusion kills opportunity.

3/ Focus deeply on what actually matters.
↳ Depth compounds faster than distraction ever will.

4/ Manage your energy like your business depends on it.
↳ Because it does. Consistency beats intensity every time.

5/ Build systems that scale beyond your effort.
↳ Winners rely on habits. Leaders design repeatable growth.

6/ Listen fully before making any assumptions.
↳ You learn more by staying curious, not loud.

7/ Make decisions fast and refine as you go.
↳ Action creates clarity. Waiting creates doubt.

8/ Take feedback even when it stings.
↳ Growth rarely feels good in real time.

9/ Adapt quickly when conditions start changing.
↳ Flexibility keeps you in the game longer.

10/ Market yourself without feeling like you’re bragging.
↳ Visibility is a skill, not vanity.

11/ Manage money with discipline and foresight.
↳ If you don’t track it, you lose it.

12/ Think for yourself instead of following crowds.
↳ Original thinking separates players from leaders.

13/ Teach what you know to others.
↳ Impact multiplies when you pass it on.

14/ Lead yourself before trying to lead others.
↳ You can’t demand what you don’t demonstrate.

15/ Say no to protect your priorities.
↳ Every yes has an invisible cost.

16/ Stay curious long after you’ve “made it”.
↳ The minute you stop learning, you start fading.

The best skills don’t expire.
They compound, year after year, result after result.

OKRs are your ambitious goals.

KPIs are how you track execution.

Ignore either... and your growth stalls.

Most coaches try to scale on feel.
But feel isn’t data.
And opinions don’t build predictable income.

OKRs set your direction.
KPIs prove you’re moving towards it.

Together?
They turn chaos into clarity.

OKRs (Objectives + Key Results)
Your blueprint for bold growth.

What They Do:

✔️ Turn big goals into clear outcomes.
✔️ Align your team behind one focus.
✔️ Make long-term strategy actionable now.

When To Use:

👉🏽 You’re scaling fast and need focus.
👉🏽 You’re setting quarterly priorities.
👉🏽 You want your team rowing in sync.

Ask Yourself:

→ What single result moves the needle most?
→ Are our goals stretching or playing safe?
→ Does everyone know what winning looks like?

End Goal:

Everyone’s clear on where you’re headed and how you’ll get there.

KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)

Your scoreboard for performance.

What They Do:

✔️ Show what’s working (and what’s not).
✔️ Keep growth consistent.
✔️ Flag problems before they blow up.

When To Use:

👉🏽 You want to measure stability.
👉🏽 You’re tracking ongoing systems.
👉🏽 You need visibility across the team.

Ask Yourself:

→ Which numbers prove we’re on track?
→ What early signs warn something’s off?
→ Are we tracking progress or just activity?

End Goal:

No guessing. Just clarity, consistency, and control.

TLDR:

OKRs = Where you’re headed.
KPIs = How you’ll get there.

Miss one... and you’re running in circles.

Are you using both to scale your coaching business right now? 👇🏽

Most people think work-life balance means working less.

(they are so wrong)

It just means building a life that actually fits you.

Here is what helps:

1. Track your natural high-energy hours
→ Schedule your important work here and protect this time.

2. Notice when your focus drops
→ Shift to lighter tasks or take a short break instead of forcing it.

3. Build recovery into your day
→ Walks, quiet moments, or simple resets prevent burnout.

4. Create a weekly rhythm that supports your life
→ Work, family, health, and personal goals should all have space.

When you understand your energy, your days feel lighter and your output improves.

The biggest mistake I made years ago,
is the same mistake I see people making every day..

They let self-doubt make decisions for them.

They say no before anyone else gets the chance to say yes.

You’d be surprised how many people self-reject before the world even does.

They don’t speak up in meetings.
They don’t apply for the job.
They don’t pitch the idea.
They don’t ask for help.

Not because they can’t...
But because they think they can’t.

That’s what self-doubt does,
It kills opportunity quietly.

If that’s you right now, here’s what helped me break the loop:

1️⃣ Do it scared.
↳ Waiting to feel ready means you’ll never start.

2️⃣ Borrow belief.
↳ If you can’t believe in yourself yet, borrow it from someone who does.

3️⃣ Act first, think later.
↳ Confidence doesn’t come before action... it comes from action.

Self-doubt might never disappear completely...
But courage gets louder every time you move anyway.

Your next win is one brave step away.

↳ Momentum starts the moment you stop blaming and start building.
↳ Progress compounds once ownership becomes instinct, not effort.

2️⃣ Your idea means nothing without proof
↳ Passion doesn’t replace validation, data does.
↳ The market only rewards problems solved, not stories told.
↳ Get it live, get feedback, then iterate faster than anyone else.

3️⃣ You will lose people along the way
↳ Growth changes your pace, not everyone keeps up.
↳ Some leave because your success mirrors what they won’t chase.
↳ Protect your peace by surrounding yourself with builders, not bystanders.

4️⃣ Momentum hides weak foundations
↳ Growth exposes every shortcut you made early.
↳ What you ignore at $10K becomes chaos at $100K.
↳ Fix structure now or you’ll rebuild it under pressure later.

5️⃣ Your emotions can ruin your business
↳ Reacting fast feels powerful, until it costs you clarity.
↳ The calmest person in the room usually wins.
↳ When in doubt, slow the decision, not the discipline.

6️⃣ You can’t hire your way out of poor leadership
↳ Great hires fail under bad direction.
↳ If they don’t know where you’re going, they can’t move fast.
↳ Lead with clarity first, competence follows.

7️⃣ Not every opportunity is a good one
 ↳ Distraction is dressed up as opportunity 90% of the time.
 ↳ Saying no sharpens focus; saying yes to everything dulls it.
 ↳ Depth beats expansion when you’re building for endurance.

8️⃣ Most people won’t understand your drive
 ↳ Your ambition will look like obsession to average minds.
 ↳ Don’t explain vision to people who’ve never built one.
 ↳ Keep your energy for execution, not convincing.

9️⃣ Your business will only grow as fast as you do
 ↳ Stagnant founders create stagnant cultures.
 ↳ New levels need new habits, not new logos.
 ↳ Upgrade your mindset before upgrading your metrics.

Business doesn’t reward comfort.
It rewards those who stay honest, adapt fast, and keep showing up.

9 Harsh Business Truths

Good managers manage.

Great leaders change people.

A good coach is not here to keep you comfortable.

They pull you into discomfort,
into honesty,
Into reality.

Most people think growth feels smooth.
It does not.
Real growth sounds like:

“I do not know if I am ready.”
“This feels uncomfortable.”
“This scares me.”

And that is exactly where things start to shift.

A strong coach does not give you every answer.

They help you find them.
They challenge your patterns.
They invite you into bigger responsibilities.
They believe in the version of you that you have not stepped into yet.

I have seen it again and again at Alpha Coast.

The people who grow the fastest are not always the most experienced.
They are the ones who:

✓ Learn quickly
✓ Take feedback without shutting down
✓ Adjust their approach when needed
✓ Step forward even when they feel unsure

Pressure does not grow people.
Belief does.
Accountability does.
Honest coaching does.

A coach changes you by helping you see what you avoid,
by asking the questions that make you pause,
and by refusing to let you shrink.

If you want real growth, find someone who does not let you hide.
Comfort keeps you the same.
Coaching moves you forward.

Nothing hits harder than achieving your goals and realizing they weren’t your own.

You did everything right.

Climbed the ladder.
Got the title.
Made the money.
Still... something feels off.

Because this is what we’re taught success looks like:

🏆 Impressive job title
💰 Big annual salary
🏠 Expensive house

But here’s what success actually looks like:

✅ Desire to progress
✅ Control of your time
✅ Work you’re proud of
✅ The challenge to grow
✅ Making your own choices
✅ Working with great people

Success isn’t about reaching the top.
It’s about rising on your own terms.

The goal isn’t to live someone else’s dream.
It’s to build a life that feels like yours.

If you’ve ever hit a milestone and felt... nothing,
that's your sign to redefine what winning really means.

90% of companies fail to deliver their strategy.

Here is how the top 5% execute:

Most businesses don’t fail from bad ideas.
They fail from bad alignment.

Strategy isn’t about doing more.
It’s about executing what matters.

This 9-Pillar Pyramid keeps your business clear, focused, and moving.

It’s built around three layers: 
Purpose strategy and execution.

Here are the essentials you need to exec

1️⃣ PURPOSE

Mission
→ What impact are we here to make?

For us at Alpha Coast that’s helping coaches build businesses that create freedom, not burnout.

Values
→ What do we stand for?

Vision
→ What does success look like when we get there?

2️⃣ STRATEGY

Strategic Intent
→ What big goals are we chasing?

For Alpha Coast it’s:
↳ Help Coaches Build Predictable Client Acquisition Systems 
↳ Empower Coaches to Scale Beyond 1:1 Coaching 
↳ Create a Self-Sustaining Growth Ecosystem (Clients → Case Studies → Community)

Drivers
→ What fuels our growth and client results?

At Alpha Coast what fuels us is:
↳ Precision Targeting of the 3% “Ready-to-Buy” Market 
↳ Done-With-You Partnership Model (Not Just Software) 
↳ Client-Centric Continuous Optimization Loop

Enablers
→ How do we protect the resources that matter most?



3️⃣ EXECUTION

Targets & Initiatives
→ What are the clear, measurable moves that shift results fast?

Performance Indicators
→ How do we track what’s working and what’s not?

Accountability system
→ What routines keep us consistent?

- - - - - - - - - 

When each person knows why they matter and how they move the mission,
growth compounds.

Miss one pillar, and the whole thing starts shaking.

So if your growth feels stuck,
Use this strategy framework to maximize your execution.

The most successful people have this in common:

Someone who believed in them before they made it.

Because belief builds people.

You can have all the skill in the world...
but sometimes it takes one person to say “I see you”, before you see it yourself.

That’s how confidence starts.
Not from certainty... but from borrowed belief.

For me, it was someone who reminded me,
“You’re not stuck... you’re just scared.”

That one sentence changed everything.

Because when someone believes in you,
they don’t just lift your confidence...
they change your direction.

If you’ve ever had that kind of person, you know the power of it.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

1/ Borrow belief until you build your own.
↳ That’s not weakness, it’s how growth begins.

2/ Be that person for someone else.
↳ One “you’ve got this” can rewrite someone’s future.

3/ Never forget who believed first.
↳ Loyalty starts with gratitude.

The truth is...
Success isn’t built alone.
It starts with one believer.

Experience looks great on paper.

Attitude wins in real life.

You can train almost any skill...
But you can’t teach hunger, humility, or heart.

I’ve seen people join Alpha Coast with zero background in lead gen...
And within months, they’re running projects like seasoned pros.

Why?
Because they show a desire to:

✅ Learn fast
✅ Take feedback without taking it personal
✅ Flex their approach when plans change
✅ Step up when more responsibility shows up

Those traits turn good employees into future leaders.

When you hire, don’t just look for what’s on paper.
Look for curiosity, consistency, and coachability.

Because skills fade...
Attitude compounds.

That’s how we build winning teams at Alpha Coast.
Hungry people who grow with us, not just work for us.
