Key takeaways:

- Flow state can be addictive, and there can be a crash that follows.
- Zen Buddhism emphasizes the importance of stillness and balance in accessing flow state.
- A great coaching session requires alignment, urgency, and importance.
- Coaching is most fulfilling when there is a deep connection and inspiration between the coach and the client. Trust the process and honor the suck in your coaching journey.
- Say yes to opportunities, even if they don't align with your long-term goals.
- View every client as a learning experience and be open to the lessons they bring.
- Focus on being authentic and true to yourself, rather than chasing money or prestige.
- Coaching is a vocation, not just a career, and it takes time and practice to develop the skills to truly help clients.
Sound bites:
"Flow state is like being possessed."
"Flow state is a totally heightened state of awareness."
"Flow state is addictive and drug-like."
"If you're in that boat, then maybe you can get there faster because you can just fully jack into finding your authentic true core self and living in that self because the basics are taken care of on Maslow's hierarchy and you're up here in, you know, the top of the pyramid."
"And I look back and go, gosh, why did I waste my time? And I'm like, well, cause I had to meet them to know I didn't want to work with them. Later, right? I had to meet that person. I had to go say yes to that topic or to that personality or to that, you know, or learn that the money isn't worth it."
"Who doesn't want to make $10,000 a month off of a client? He'd have contracts locked in for six figures from one person per year. He'd be set. He'd just collect them up."
