Episode 63: Marc Mawhinney – How to bounce back from adversity and deal with haters (explicit)

Marc Mawhinney is a lifelong entrepreneur who helps coaches get more clients (without paid advertising)! He achieves this with his coaching programs; his two podcasts (Natural Born Coaches and The Marc Mawhinney Minute); his Facebook group The Coaching Jungle, and his exclusive print newsletter – Secret Coach Club.

In this podcast, Marc tells us about his personal experiences with overcoming two big challenges:

• Bouncing back from adversity: August 11, 2009 was Marc’s worst day in business: this was the date that his real estate business collapsed, after 10 years of nonstop success. He talks about how he got through the difficult months and years that followed, the long path that led him to becoming a coach (and why he says coaching “saved his life”), and his advice for struggling entrepreneurs.
• Dealing with haters: Marc talks about why having haters is actually a good sign. He shares how he turns his experiences with trolls and haters into content and new sales!
