101. Life Coaches & Lightbulbs, with Adam Roach

Adam Roach is a serial entrepreneur and CEO of I Love Coaching Co. Whether it’s shutting his laptop at 6pm, to creating a daily $1,000 accountability motivator, Adam has a unique perspective based on his coaching business and entrepreneurial experience working with a variety of people and types of companies.

Whether it was immediately exiting partnerships when Adam realized he was working with the wrong people to a golf cart meets mailbox parenting fiasco, there are lessons throughout this podcast for business owners at every stage.

Join Adam and Jim as they discuss a myriad of topics from faith and ego to accountability, work-life balance and sticking to your word.

3 Key Takeaways

• Create accountability: Maybe not for everyone, but Adam has a system where he has an accountability partner he texts everyday what he’s going to accomplish that day. If he doesn’t accomplish it, he Venmo's $1000 to his partner (it’s happened 12 times in 7 years if you’re wondering).

• Identify your who’s: Who are the people you want to work with? If those aren’t the people you’re working with today, it’s time to figure out an exit path.

• Go grow: “If I don’t better myself, my fear is that my past will repeat itself.” 🎤 drop
