WHY would anyone hire Victory? HE'S NOT EVEN A SUCCESS COACH!!!
After having worked closely with Victory I can tell you
HE IS NOT A SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS COACH!
In fact he is not a success coach at all. He is very motivating and inspiring and always happy to give me a kick in the ass when I need it, but he does not have the full skillset of a success coach, nor the character to be really good at it (eg he talks a lot but HE NEVER LISTENS! well, not nearly as much as he talks anyway!)
So why would a success coach hire him to market their business?
Because he is the best damn promoter and marketer I have ever met, bar none!
BUT I CAN NOT RECOMMEND HIM
Without giving you this WARNING. While V is a genuinely good person, HE HAS A DEVIANT MARKETING MIND. While others may "think outside the box", he comes up with ideas which no normal person would ever conceive.... AND THEN HE ACTUALLY DOES THEM!
Do you know the whole story about him and Trump?
First he creates his University Of Victory modeled after Trump University. He bought their program and attended their classes to swipe all their good material, then he leaked word to the media that Trump's course wasn't quite the gold standard student's expected and that one of Trump's students was about to overthrow the Dean!
Headlines the next day read:
DISGRUNTLED TRUMP UNIVERSITY DROPOUT FOUNDS OWN ONLINE UNIVERSITY, TRUMPS THE DONALD
Columbia University's Newspaper had a heyday with it, but here's where everything went wrong. you can check out the story for yourself here.
http://nyc24.org/2007/issue2/story4/
The headline is U. OF GREED VS. GREED U.
Think that's bad? The Chronicle for Higher Education wrote a story basically making fun of both Universities, and that in turned spawned about a hundred other blogs picking it up and writing their own twist.
Think Victory learned not to play with fire? Nope, he went and poured gas on it!
Next months headlines:
Trump University Dropout Fires The Donald and Holds Apprentice Competition
(this was basically free advertising to get key employees for his university)
then the month after:
University of Victory $1 Million Scholarship Competition
(believe it or not, he figured a way to actually make $500,000 by giving away $1,000,000! It was like a perpetual motion marketing machine!
then he actually had the audacity to phone up some of Trump U's employees and offer them jobs!
I'm sure I shouldn't be telling you some of this, and I'm sure some of you are saying "thanks for the warning, Brent!" Well, really it's the best thing for both of you! You need to be a good fit for eachother and if he is just too much off the deep end, it may just be too much of a stretch for really conservative types who like to play it safe.
Then again, if you aren't yet bigtime and have nothing to lose, this might just thrust you into the spotlight and give you your 15 minutes of fame!
If that's what you want.

Thank you Brent, for your entertaining story.
True as it may be, I would like to add that some of my clients are on the conservative side and we have amazing synergy. It's mostly a matter of getting to know eachother to find a marketing strategy that suits the coach.
Not everyone wants the fame, but everyone needs to clearly define their ideal niche. It's not enough just to be "a success coach", you need to be targeting a very small segment of the population so you can be the big fish in the small pond.
WHY HIRE ME? I'll give you the #1 reason... because I truly believe that success coaches are one of the most valuable resources we have. I believe that everyone out of high school should have one for at least monthly sessions, and anyone in business should have at least weekly sessions.
And although I'm not a coach, in a way I have an even better perspective. I am a client, and I can see things clearly from the client's perspective.
thanks again B!
