In this episode, John Kitchens talks with us about leaving a legacy and the power of coaching. He will share "The Transformation" that every business owner and entrepreneur needs to succeed. Creating a Legacy [00:06] Legacy is everything. It allows us to see how people navigate the world, and it consumed John for some time. Legacy has become a driving force for him, and he has been able to create a high level of awareness around it. [00:43] Next time you're at a family event, pay attention to what the family members say about their grandparents and parents. Are they even talking about them? If they are, what are they saying? We've all heard stories from people who've attended funerals that have lost older relatives and about the stories told and shared from the grandkids and kids and what they say about them. That's legacy. What will your grandkids say about you? What is Legacy? [01:36] We all have people that impact our lives the most, and we all want to impact others. The truth is we are but are we impacting at the level that we all could? John believes we're a fool if we don't think about our legacy, present, and where we want to give our attention that will have a lasting impact. [02:13] We can't change our past, but we sure can change and have an exponential impact on our life moving forward. Power of Coaching [02:59] John believes that you have to become better for your business to be better. You cannot lead another or coach another human unless you coach and lead yourself first. Everyone on the planet needs a great coach in their life. With a great coach in your life, your life will be better. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Outliers where he talks about this concept called the 10,000-hour rule. He said the key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing the correct way for at least 10,000 hours. Robert Greene believes that the only thing that will challenge Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 Hour Rule concept is the power of coaching. He believes that a coach is the only thing that can collapse the 10,000-hour rule. John's Goal [05:17] With over 13,000 sessions in over 7,500 hours of one-on-one coaching, there is not a situation where John has not been able to help overcome and accomplish. He wants to create awareness for people to realize their impact and the footprint they're leaving and be intentional with every moment of their lives, not only for their family but also for their community. True Vulnerability [07:38] When John was younger, he realized that it only takes one moment to see someone's true vulnerability. For him, it was walking into the bathroom in the middle of the night and seeing his lifeless mother dying of breast cancer. John saw his mother lying on the floor with his father, sitting beside her trying to revive her, not knowing what to do, and being overwhelmed with emotions. [09:02] We don't have it all figured out, and that's okay. We just don't know what to do. We need the awareness and vulnerability to seek help, seek solutions, and keep moving forward. Scaling our Business [09:57] Most visionary entrepreneurs want to grow fast, but scaling takes enormous time and energy. We can help people get out of production and scale their business with a proven coaching process to build the systems they need to scale. That way, they can stop being frustrated and start making more money. We need more great leaders to step up and lead their businesses.
