Coaching, consulting, and the path to entrepreneurship with Chris M King
Today I'm joined by Chris M. King, the self-proclaimed "Executive Witch Doctor." We swapped stories about building businesses from the ground up (or in our cases, from our car trunks) and dove into the nitty-gritty of what it really takes to succeed. Chris shared some fascinating insights on the psychology and science behind success that had me questioning everything I thought I knew. If you've ever felt like you're faking it in your business or struggling to turn your big dreams into reality, this one is for you.
Can't-miss moments:
- The surprising reason Chris chose to build a business out of his car trunk instead of taking a stable job (and what it means for you and your goals)...
- Why "fake it till you make it" might be doing more harm than good (and what Chris and I recommend instead)...
- Contrarian advice: don't talk about your dreams. Chris reveals unexpected downside of talking about your goals, and how it could be sabotaging your success without you even realizing it...
- Do you have what Chris calls, "Loose Tooth Syndrome?" He breaks down how and why you might be stuck in a cycle of "wanting" instead of "having"...
- Chris's personal triangle of success that he claims guarantees he can't fail (and how you can apply it to your own business)...
Chris's bio:
Chris M. King's life is a testament to resilience and transformation. Despite a tumultuous childhood marked by grief, rage, abuse, and addiction, he defied the odds. Overcoming a prolonged academic journey, Chris transitioned from an unfinished undergrad to an NCAA hockey player within just a year of learning to skate. His path included two failed marriages, struggles with mental illness, and a shift from a lucrative career to becoming a poverty-stricken radio personality.
Navigating unconventional career shifts, including marketing a neuroscience institute and a tech role that led to dismissal, Chris faced unemployment. Choosing an audacious path, he built a successful company from his car trunk, making a significant impact on the real estate industry.
Termed a "witch doctor" or "irritated Buddha" Chris is the author of "Renegotiate Your Existence: Unlock Your Impossible Life." Drawing on spiritual psychology and insights from diverse luminaries, he facilitates transformative expeditions for individuals and organizations, pushing them beyond perceived limits to achieve the seemingly impossible.
