Deep Dive with me to Depths of what matters, influence great Decisions, & make lots of Dollars!
But he was able to understand one thing: making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him into places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision."
- The Alchemist, Paulo Cohelo.
I passionately believe in the above quote. At the end, we are not one funnel away, we are a decision away from what we want.
I am obsessed with decision making. Why do we make the decisions we make, what makes a decision good or bad, how do good intentioned decisions turn out to be nightmares? If the quality of the outcome is dependent on the quality of the decisions then how do we make better decisions time and time again every time?
The Deep Dive Podcast is one of my personal tools for exploring, learning, and sharing the journey and lessons along the way.
Over the past several years I’ve invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in some of the best coaching, masterminds, courses, books, and mentors to understand and utilize the power of great decisions. Every insight and every guest holds the potential to inspire your next steps in the way that they have mine.

The goal is to share. Share to serve, share to support, share to create, or at the very least enable the creation of abundance and power across the board for you whether you’re an entrepreneur, professional, coach, consultant, service provider, agency owner, or influencer.
Deep Dive is all about going deeper, really understanding the root cause and solving for the root cause is what's unique about me and my coaching style. What does diving deeper mean? It comes down to the depth. So diving deeper into every subject matter, every problem at hand. And when you go deep, you're able to make decisions that are longer lasting, last impacting, you make decisions with clarity and you can't have clarity unless you go deep. Our destinies are determined by our decisions. The decisions that you're making are directly proportional, or have a direct proportional impact on the amount of dollars you're able to take home, whether you're an entrepreneur or a professional.
I'm extremely excited to bring some of the most amazing people that I have already had opportunity to work with, I will bring some of those in my network, who I have had the opportunity to work with, because I want to make sure that their stories, their messages get shared, you get the benefit of that. I also want to bring guests that I may have not worked with, but I have the privilege of either being in their network or having been in their network or having them in my network, however you see it.
Every Dive Deep episode will be full of golden nuggets from us diving deeper, making great decisions and impacting our dollars.
What is the opposite of depth? The opposite of depth is superficial. And superficial means, it has got no depth, no complexity, no nuances, and no root to it.
How I look at it in business is that someone can say, “well, I don't have money, that's my problem”. Is that really the problem? So on the surface, it looks like they don't have money and that's their problem but the problem may be completely different. The problem may be, they have money, they just don't know how to manage it. So every time they receive it, they end up wasting it. Or the problem may be the reason why they don't have money is because their offer is not clear or that it's a lead generation problem. So, and not just these three, it could be any other reason as well.
It comes down to what is the true problem. And you cannot find the problem if you stay on the surface, meaning if you just stay on, “I don't have the money, I gotta figure out the money”, you will always stay on the surface and you will always have the problem. Because you will solve your surface level superficial problems with superficial solutions. If you look at the true problem, example - why is it that I don't have money? Then you go a few levels deeper. So let's take that same example of lead generation - I don't have money, because I just don't have consistent customers, lead generation, and go one more layer deep by asking why? Why am I not able to create consistent lead generation? Because I'm not putting content out there. Well, why am I not putting content out there? Because I just don't want to look like a fool in front of my audience. So if you think about it, the moment I go three or four levels deep on why, I can get to the root cause this is going in the depth of the true problem. So the problem here is the entrepreneur is saying they have a visibility issue.
For some reason, visibility or perfectionism could be the issue there. You need to solve that first. It's not that you don't know what you're talking about. It's not that you're camera shy, which could have very well been the answer. Maybe when someone says, well I'm camera shy. I don't feel comfortable in front of the camera. Either way, when you go 3 - 4- 5 levels deep on the why, you're able to point to the true problem and solve that.

Decisions
Let's talk about decisions. How you make decisions impact at all levels of abundance, all levels of clarity, and all levels of impact you would have on yourself, your loved ones, your clients, your customers, everybody else that comes in the influence of that decision. Your bank balance is directly proportional to the quality of your decisions. Period. So now, when you think of it from that perspective, you have to understand that good decision making is the most important skill that you can learn. Forget about good decisions, just decision making is the best skill you can learn. Because what is the opposite of a decision? The opposite of decision, while many would say is indecision, but it's actually more than that.
The opposite of a decision is doubt. Why are we indecisive on certain things? Because we just have to doubt if it is the right thing to do? Would it have the right kind of return on investment for me? Would it be worth it? What if it makes me look like a fool? Would it be worth my time? Would people laugh at me if I fail, all these things are doubt, doubt, doubt and doubt. And when you live in doubt, you will not be able to bring the income and impact that you aspire to dream of. Because the difference between a dream and reality is a decision. So no matter what you are being told that you are one funnel away, you're actually just one decision away. And that decision could be making a funnel. So I'm not I'm not taking a shot or throwing a punch at the funnel. But think about it, before you are one funnel away, you're actually one decision away. That decision to make that funnel.
Decision to get started, that decision to show up for yourself, your customers, your employees, your team, your loved ones, everybody around you and all other stakeholders. So that's what Decision is all about. The Decision is all about killing the doubt.

Dollar makes the world go round. So what is the opposite of a dollar? So in my books, the dollar is all about abundance. But the idea here is very simple: dollars are abundance and the lack of dollars is scarcity. Lack of dollars is not having the cash flow. Lack of dollars is not having profitability, lack of dollars is not being able to pay your bills or pay your team or get the best of the best for your family. And none of us want any of that. We want the best of the best for our families, for our customers, for our employees, for our team and for our loved ones. Making good financial decisions is part of this. How do you make good financial decisions when you have never made those before? For example, how do you make a million dollar decision when this is your first time making a million dollars? What beliefs and stories did you grow up with when it came down to money. What stories and beliefs that you’re holding on to that are not serving you any more? We will go deep with the guest and client stories to identify those and find ways to leverage what serves us and categorically say no to what’s not serving us any longer.
So we will talk about depth, decisions, and dollars in our upcoming episodes with every guest that I will bring. We will be talking about depth, how they go deep into what they are trying to solve, and how they make their decisions, and how they impact the dollars in their business.
