My guest today is entrepreneur and business coach Tom Youngs. Tom is absolutely crushing it at the moment and I’d highly recommend those of you interested in business, coaching and becoming financially-free to listen (and take notes!).

We delve into a range of topics, including his journey from zero to a $70K month in 18 months, the breaking point that pushed him to leave his agency to start his own coaching and consultancy business, and the nuts and bolts of launching his first cohort program. We talked about the power of flywheels vs funnels, how to develop unique thought leadership, and the non-negotiable habits that keep him - and his clients - performing at the highest level.

It was an inspiring and insightful chat with someone who pulled himself from rock-bottom finances to serious success. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
