Why am I using a mediocre image clearly made by AI for this page?
For several reasons:
In Houston, TX:
Summer of 1987...
I was entering my senior year of high school in Houston and was being recruited by USAFA to play linebacker, so I lived inside the gym, which was inside my linebacker buddy's garage! (He played LB for TCU. Total stud.)
My sister came to visit from Baton Rouge. She's three years younger than me so she was too young to drive, so I took her to workout with me.
It was just the two of us that day, and as my chest workout was winding down, I asked her to spot me on the bench press.
I had 225 lbs loaded and she said,
I told her,I can't lift that much weight!"
I know you can't lift that much weight, and I don't need you to. I'll do seven or eight on my own and if you see me struggling, just help me a little to get past my sticking point."
That's the value of a good spotter/mentor/coach.
YOU have to do the work.
But without a good spotter, you may hesitate...
You may doubt yourself...
You may self-sabotage...
You may not launch at all...
All because the right person wasn't there as a safety measure...as a spotter...a coach...a mentor...a cheerleader...a supporter...an encourager...a witness.
If you're squatting 200 lbs for ten reps, that's 2,000 pounds—ONE TON!
Your spotter might give you 10 lbs of assistance on the last rep.
That is 0.005% of assistance.
And that's just a MIGHT...a MAYBE.
Maybe he gives you no physical help, but his encouragement gives you the courage and confidence to lift 2,000 pounds, break through a plateau, and soar on to new heights.
How are your faith, family, fitness, and finances going today without a spotter?
What is holding you back?
In my 5+ decades of life, 3+ decades of leadership, nearly three decades of sales I've learned that only a few things ever really stand in our way:
(That last one's a doozy.)
Nick Saban, the greatest coach in college football, kept two psychiatrists on staff everywhere he coached because "talent is not talent if you can't use it."
You may benefit from a new prospecting script or methodology...
You may benefit from a new CRM or tech tool...
You may benefit from a new approach to negotiating and delivering proposals...
You may benefit from launching a podcast or writing a book or booking paid speaking gigs...
But until you fix your "stinkin' thinkin'," you're just rearranging paperwork on your desk.
You definitely will benefit from clearer thinking and bold action, which comes from confidence, which is the only thing your prospects buy and it's the only thing your people follow.
You can’t talk to your spouse because you don’t want them to worry.
You can’t talk to your boss because you’re supposed to have your shit together.
You can’t talk to your peers because they don’t know what they’re doing, either. (Hell, truth be told, they’d probably revel in your struggles and give you bad advice on purpose to save their own skin.)
You can’t talk to other friends or family because they don’t have the experience, so they just won’t understand.
So you click and browse and dabble with one book or course or program and stick your toe into another but never really commit…so you never connect the dots and never have the nuances and subtleties explained to you.
So you muddle along and end up here, on this page, considering my coaching…but you’re suspicious…doubtful…maybe even a little irritated or even pissed off…for sure, you’re frustrated…
And you’re thinking…
I feel your pain.
The web is overflowing with internet-bros, self-proclaimed goo-roos, overnight experts, and thieves who have gotten too comfortable hiding behind their keyboards, talking smack, and making promises they can’t back.
So, with the internet overflowing with so many scammers, how do you know this program, this group, this offer, and I am legit?

I have some testimonials with their full name and info below going back to 2007.
You can schedule your first call with me now, before you join, to get your toughest sales, marketing, business, or personal growth question addressed and find out live, over video, in private if I can help you.
We can then both decide if we want to work together.
Yes.
Allow me to explain.
Mentoring tends to be reactionary, which is fine because you're coming to me with a set of issues, habits, and beliefs that must be understood by both of us so we can understand where you're coming from and plot your path forward.
Coaching tends to be proactive, i.e., we identify goals, strengths, shortcomings, areas of improvement, metrics, and deadlines.
Training is more in the weeds/tactical, i.e., scripts for dealing with prospects, customers, vendors, staff, peers, and even family and friends.
I've engaged in all of the above since the U.S. Air Force thrust me into leadership as a 19-year-old sophomore in Colorado, and I've since been retained by executives at Dell, GKIC, SEMPL, Ontraport, and Keap, just to name a few of the many organizations that have become my client.
*Yes, you read that correctly. While others give you "tripwires" and "ascension ladders" to trip you up and kill your wallet, I take things in the opposite direction. The more you choose to work with me, the less you'll pay.
You see, I don’t outsource this accountability to some assistant or trainee or certified coach or whomever.
You get me.
I answer your questions directly.
I share my cell phone and email with you.
It is the most affordable program of its kind out there...
And you can make payments...but you probably won't need to because it's not that expensive...
And there is no fine print...
But there are no refunds. (That's not fine print. It's right here!)
And there are no promises or guarantees of your success...
But I do promise to make myself available to you, and I guarantee I will push you hard so you can have your own massive breakthroughs in the areas of faith, family, fitness, and finance.
We'll discuss the price on our call, but it's less than what I paid to hire a sales mentor in 2006, which changed my life, by the way. (Think one semester of in-state tuition at a public university.)
The reality is, I have seven kids, including two sons and five daughters, and I'm shocked and saddened and irritated at the state of everything in our world today and the best—maybe, only—way to turn things around is to create strong men.
If you're even slightly interested, please schedule time for us to talk now, because, due to the intensive nature of this coaching, I can only take on a few men at a time.
12 Weeks To Peak™ VIP is a no-corners-cut relationship we create to help you set and surpass your most vital goals.
Once the clock starts, there are no pauses or breaks. I will push you until you win or cry uncle.
We'll be in contact weekly, daily, even hourly...or at least I'll be showing up for you. Do with me and my advice as you wish.
Your Investment
The most significant investment you will make here is your decision to open yourself up to me to help you drive the growth you know you need, and that is bubbling up deep inside of you.
Monetarily, this is more than an iPhone but less than what you'd pay for a blurry semester at a shitty state college earning a worthless degree that isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
And I say that, having two degrees myself along with my having her college degree and four of our children are college graduates.
(Note: as I wrote above, there are no refunds of any payments in this program for any reason.)
You do not have to be a lone wolf...You can and should prosper in the areas of faith, family, fitness, and finance...
Testimonial on the effectiveness of The W.E.S. Method for speaker coaching and marketing training.
I wanted to thank you for the instruction and more importantly for the results that you have helped me obtain. I have to admit that I
was fairly skeptical prior to enrolling in your class. I had spent over 10 years as a sales manager and worked my way up to become the
president of a sales organization, so I didn’t think I needed your class. Wow, was I wrong. After stepping out with my own company, with what I considered to be a no-brainer value proposition, I was struggling to provide services that literally cost nothing to use and can only result in a desirable outcome. I finally bit the bullet and enrolled in your class. I am glad I did. Since then I have completely changed the way I approach sales. I went from performing free services, just to get a reference, to having the luxury of selecting only the committed customers that I would be willing to work with. I have been through other sales development classes but I can safely say yours is the best. You provide specific actionable advice for my specific business and it has worked. The least I can do is thank you. Please do me a favor and email this to your clients and prospective clients. I would really like you to consider me as a reference for your sales class. If anyone doubts that your class won’t improve their performance, have them call me.
