Success Stories

"Working one-on-one with Chris has undoubtedly changed our business, and our lives, for the better. As a husband and wife duo who co-founded a fast-growing digital consulting business two years ago and continues to work side by side everyday, we were finding ourselves buried in unanswered client emails, seemingly endless to-do lists, and disparate sets of business and life goals. We were overwhelmed, frustrated, and feeling like our own business wasn't in our control. In just a couple of months of coaching, Chris has already helped us come back to center. We excitedly look forward to our weekly sessions and we know that we're growing as both business owners and as people through our ongoing work with Chris."

"I began working with Chris because I felt lost on where to take my business next. After years of working for other people, I was paralyzed by the idea that I had to call the shots. Chris pushed me to dig deep and find the answers within myself about where to take my career next and how I could best serve my audience. Then, he helped me methodically put intentional steps and discipline into place so I could achieve my goals. Chris has not only helped me grow my business, but he has helped me grow it in a way that aligned with the reasons I got out of corporate in the first place - to achieve maximum flexibility and satisfaction. I can't thank Chris enough."

“I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for clarity and direction to hire Chris. He has a natural ability to pull out the desires of your heart and help you get it on paper, so you can create an action plan to bring those desires to reality. Also, the goal setting exercises that Chris taught me helped me overcome several hurdles that could have taken me years to accomplish on my own. Working with Chris has been a phenomenal experience!”

Heather Heuman, Social Media Consultant, Sweet Tea Social, Columbia, SC

"For years, I discounted the idea of hiring a business coach - because I was blind to major holes in my life.  After working with Chris for just 1 month, I have more clarity and gained confidence to achieve my goals at a much faster pace than I ever expected.  His simple but profound advice has given me the ability to focus on how to stop playing small, and to realize all the opportunities I'd been overlooking for so long.  Thanks so much, Chris!"

“Before working with Chris, I had been focusing all of my efforts on the day-to-day tasks and largely ignoring the work I knew I needed to do to achieve my big future goals. Chris helped me gain clarity around what I should really be focusing on during my daily work and helped me break down my "someday" goals into manageable steps I can accomplish each day. I am making so much more progress toward these big goals, and they feel much more achievable because of that. Chris's program also helped me get back into my favorite morning and evening routines and helped streamline my work habits. For example, now I check email just twice a day and I'm so much more focused and calm during the work day. The program had lessons and assignments each day, which helped me maintain momentum and enthusiasm. I'd recommend working with Chris to anyone who is looking for clarity around what they should be focusing on and strategies for how to focus and make meaningful progress toward big goals.”

“Being in the process of growing my side gig into a full time business, I thought I was an organized person, but it was really easy for me to get distracted and chase several different things at the same time. But after completing the program, I’m much more structured. It has helped me establish a solid morning routine and schedule, plus has given me several new tools and processes to be more productive, not just busy. The best feature of the program was learning about the 5 Ones, which encouraged me to focus on one product or service, so I can speed up my progress to achieving a six-figure income. I also like the accountability of having Chris as a leading mentor as well as the community of peers, where I could freely share my experiences and hang-ups. I would recommend the Focused in 30 program to any digital marketer who wants more focus in their business and purpose in their personal life.”

Matt Jacoby, Inbound Marketer, Octave Media, Sun Prairie, WI

"When I met Chris, I lacked a clear end goal. No matter how hard I worked, I never felt that I made any progress. After working with Chris, I am making progress every day - no matter how much or little I get done. I successfully cut out a major part of my business that had been draining my energy and finances and now have more time, more energy and a renewed passion for my life's calling! I was able to nearly double my hourly rate and my day-to-day tasks are more organized and directed. I would refer Chris to any coach or consultant who is feeling stuck or frustrated by traditional business models and need a clear, sharp outside view of their business.”

"The biggest obstacle that prevented me from starting my business was myself.  I needed help.  I needed help setting my life goals and someone to guide me who has taken a similar path. Coaching with Chris was exactly what I needed. Chris helped me prioritize my day and hold me accountable to my daily and weekly goals so I would stay on track. I went from being an employee to a business owner with a strong plan in place in less than 7 months! I have always had these goals and dreams in mind, but Chris showed me way.  This has given me the confidence to dream even bigger. Here are a couple of areas that Chris has help me with… Understanding the importance of working ON my business instead of always IN it. How to spend less time doing administrative work and designing programs and more time building my business and adding value to my clients. How to gain my clients trust so that they will become long-term clients and will likely refer others. I really appreciate how focused and organized Chris’ approach is.  He is fully committed to my success and well-being.  I would definitely recommend his coaching services."

"I was very stuck in my business with having too many ideas and goals. After one coaching session with Chris, I got very clear on my business message and ideal customer. As a result of creating this clarity, I became more confident with selling my services and have landed 5 new client in the last month. I highly recommend Chris's coaching programs to move your business forward."

"I have tremendous faith when working with Chris! He is so easy to work with because he is so attentive in gaining a full understanding of the vision for your business and your life! His patience and willingness to listen as you voice all your thoughts, concerns and ideas really makes it easy for you to trust that he is truly there to help. His past experiences and overall knowledge are comforting knowing he has also once been down the same path as you are going down now. He acts as a really good sound board and offers really great advice when he sees the need to share. He always seems to have great questions which are useful in knowing how to prioritize what needs to be done first, to ensure you are on your way, leading you in the right direction, to help you get closer and closer to obtain your dreams! Thank you so much, Chris, for your strong faith support and encouragement in helping me take the needed steps to start the journey of my dream career and lifestyle."

"About 3 years ago, I made a mid-life career change from being a social worker to becoming certified personal trainer. I gained some experience working in health clubs but knew that I wanted to own my own personal training business.   In March of 2013, I branched out and created Commit2B Fit Personal Training and began to train out of a small personal training studio. Immediately I realized I had taken on a major undertaking and if I wanted to be successful, I needed to obtain professional advice and guidance from someone who has been in the health and fitness business.  I reached out to Chris, who was more than willing to share his personal and professional knowledge with me. Chris provided me with concrete marketing and advertising tools that I would have never been able to think up on my own.  One of the advertising and marketing tips I learned from Chris was the 21 Day New Client Promotion, which generated 3 new referrals within one week.  Chris also provided me with feedback on how to improve my website, pricing packages, and a business model specific to being an independently owned personal training business.  It is through Chris’s guidance and advice that I realized how important it is to stand out among the competition and have a clear niche. Together, we chose the 50+ population, so I am now excited to tailor my programs and marketing to this market. I feel more confident and have more business knowledge as a result of my working with Chris.  He is easy to talk to and explains the business in ways that make sense to someone like myself, who is new to the fitness industry. I definitely wouldn’t be here today if it wasn't for the support, guidance and direction of Chris Rudolph."

Love the program Chris has created and his approach to business. I think the most appealing part of it is his core message: you don't need to do more, you need to do less. If you're feeling harried as a business owner, his program helps you focus on the few things that make the biggest difference and find ways to free your self from the work you don't want to be doing.
