This coaching has been really helpful and your balance of the intentional emotional work with the productivity is REALLY useful.

Blake's insights and ability to "go deep" are always valuable to me, especially during times of change and transition. I'm in such a season now and have really benefited from his coaching and materials.

I've been working with Blake since the first of the year and he has been a compass needle pointing me to my true north! I love my job but his identity builder tool has served as a great reminder that I have other priorities as well. Refocusing has energized me.

Blake offers great perspectives and a very kind, human approach to productivity. The accountability coaching model has been a great way to help me stay dialed into my goals without a significant financial commitment. I would recommend this to anyone who finds themselves burned out by productivity culture but still hoping for ways to find balance and to be proud of what you can accomplish.

It's been such a pleasure to work with Blake. I often struggle with following through on projects or plans to improve my workflow, so having his encouragement and accountability was so valuable. And I love the way he encourages me to ask myself how I'm feeling and what that says about how I can approach the tasks or challenges I'm working through. Some of the other productivity or life improvement resources I've encountered have slid into shame or guilt, but Blake's approach is holistic, generous, and thoughtful.

I wasn't sure what I expect from an accountability coach, because previous accountability coaching hasn't been super helpful. Blake really turned that around. His approach really looks at mindset, and that was the key for me making progress. Using this emotionally-intelligent approach, Blake and I ended up working more on mindset, than on the goals themselves -- and the more we worked on mindset, the more those goals took care of themselves. Blake really met me where I was at, and more importantly, highlighted some areas where I really needed to shine a light in order to make progress. It was a coaching process that turned what I knew of accountability coaching on its head, and definitely worked on the root causes of success. Thanks Blake so much for this time together.

Accountability coaching was a great way for me to achieve a goal at the end of the year, a time when it can become hard to power on. It started off with a great kick-off call that provided enough time to get to the bottom of things, discover what is actually important and what needs to happen. Blake asked great questions, listened well, and provided advice that I could implement immediately and easily. The weekly check-ins were helpful in guiding my own reflection and provided the opportunity to get Blake‘s feedback on questions and areas I was stuck on. I would recommend accountability coaching to anyone who may be having trouble finishing a goal because they aren‘t sure what to do next or are scared to take the next step. It‘s a useful way to stay motivated by having someone to hold you accountable but who will also cheer you on and support you when you‘re stuck. Blake is great at providing useful insights as well as new perspectives and approaches, while being super supportive - and funny!

I am a very goal-oriented person and have set/accomplished goals for years using the Full Focus Planner system. However, the last couple of years I've started to feel like I was checking off boxes but not really moving forward. I also was getting very overwhelmed during my busy season at work and my plans and routines kept falling apart during this time, so I connected with Blake for help with setting more meaningful goals that are not necessarily about checking boxes. He really helped me look at some of my goals in a different way so that the focus wasn't so much about achieving X, but about progressing and achieving things that improved my life or helped me become more like the person I wanted to be. We worked on how to write/track goals that didn't necessarily have a concrete metric, and what specific things I could do to move forward. Even if you feel like you have your goal-setting process down, accountability coaching really helps to push you out of your routine and gain a different perspective on the way you approach your goals and desires.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from working with Blake, but I had about 6 weeks of the year left to hit a big income goal, and I knew I was going to struggle to do it alone in the face of a lot of external factors. Blake's encouragement and support made all the difference, I stayed on track for the income goal (had some of my most focused and productive weeks ever!) and I was thrilled to reach it. I found Blake's approach to the emotional side of goals/achievement really helpful, as I'm more naturally drawn to just checking things off and ploughing forward, without really stopping to realise how I'm sometimes tripping myself up. I felt less stressed and more relaxed, and sharing my weekly progress with Blake was so helpful in keeping me motivated. I'd really recommend accountability coaching if you're looking to achieve big goals in both your work and personal life, or if (like me!) you're always tempted to give up when life gets busy and it feels like a lot of other people's needs are crowding out your goals. Working with Blake helped me end 2023 on a high note and I've already signed up to continue working together throughout 2024!

I was a little reluctant to get coaching, but 2023 was an extremely hard year and I knew I needed to get help to turn things around. I'd heard from business owners I admire who said that coaching was what helped them grow their businesses, so I decided to give it a try. Blake was instantly the person I turned to because of his previous experience at Full Focus. In the short time we have worked together so far, Blake has gotten me to see the limiting view I had on myself which has been keeping me and my business where they are and he has been guiding me along the journey of growth. I like the weekly check-ins because I finally take time to process my week and getting a voice message from Blake the following Monday is always something I look forward to. It helps me to know that I'm not on this journey alone. If you have struggled like I have in reaching your goals, or even finding out what your goals should be to get where you want to go, then I'd recommend accountability coaching with Blake. Even though we've only been working together a couple of months I've seen massive shifts in my thinking and I'm more excited than ever for what I will be able to achieve this year with Blake's guidance.

I was familiar with Blake from the "Focus on This" podcast so the first coaching call I had with him was an easy "yes". He challenged me in two areas -- to do a complete weekly review/planning session each week for at least 10 weeks, and to build consistent personal & business admin time into my schedule each week. Both of those changed my trajectory from juggling things all the time to making consistent progress on back-office things in my business and on necessary but tedious things in my personal life. Oh, and it works really well for planning a FUN TRIP, too. I'm at a place where the weekly accountability is exactly what I need -- I'm keeping better boundaries around work hours, and have clearer picture of the future I'm working towards. And I've been a lot more productive, too. When I was given the opportunity to join his Automatic Upgrade Community, that choice, too, was an easy "yes". It is a more soulful approach to productivity and accountability than I've used before and it is enabling consistent wins in my life that keep me moving forward in my life and relationships. I love the "real-time" weekly check-ins. I update my document each day, which allows me to capture so much more detail, and give me much better feedback on the choices I'm making than just looking back at the end of the week and trying to remember the highs & lows. And this process of structured weekly check-ins and monthly calls allows the monthly calls be less about the 'stuff' of the last 4 weeks and more about the future. And I personally love getting 'homework'. :-) I would recommend accountability coaching to people who are successful and want to keep growing with the benefit of having structure and accountability around what they're doing. Great athletes have coaches, great human beings can benefit from coaches, too.
