“Since joining Coach, I’ve sold three businesses and, like any other entrepreneur, naturally started a new one.”
– Mike Koenigs

Read Mike’s full story below.

Mike Koenigs & Family

There are two things I’ve learned in my 30+ years as a serial entrepreneur. #1 Owning a business isn’t easy. And #2 It can be lonely. That’s why Strategic Coach is the family you’ve been looking for. It’s truly changed my life. So if you ever get the chance to join, just do it.

Mike Koenigs is a man who seems to attract success in all areas of his life—personal, family, and professional. But as he’ll be the first to tell you, it wasn’t always that way. (Nor has it always been easy!) 

Entrepreneurship That Came At A Cost
Though Mike has always been an entrepreneur at heart, his business pursuits often came at a cost. “The truth is,” he says, “my first business cost me a marriage. And I can think of at least three times when my current marriage almost failed because I was too busy and constantly distracted. Not to mention, this same high-stress entrepreneurial lifestyle almost cost me my life when I was diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer eight years ago.”

Thankfully, Mike is now healthy, cancer-free, and proud to say his marriage is stronger than ever. But he does sometimes wonder if he could have avoided some of the pain of his past by saying yes to Strategic Coach sooner. “I first found out about Strategic Coach and met Dan Sullivan and Babs Smith over 15 years ago,” he says. “But like so many other entrepreneurs, I waited years to join, believing I was ‘too busy’ or that my business would suffer or lose revenue if I stepped away to attend the workshops.”  

Mike continues, “I was also skeptical that any coaching program could give me substantial results given that I’d already been in so many others that didn’t hold up. 

“But the truth is, every great business owner—just like every great athlete—needs a coach. And I think I could have avoided many of the disasters I had to deal with if I had become a Strategic Coach member when I first heard about it.”

Transformation In Business And In Life
Throughout his near-decade as a member, Mike has experienced incredible shifts in both his business and personal life, further confirming his belief in the power of Strategic Coach. “Since joining Coach,” he says, “I’ve sold three businesses and, like any other entrepreneur, naturally started a new one.”

“But what’s most important to me,” he continues, “is that my 20-year marriage to my wife, Vivian, is now better than it’s ever been, as is my relationship with my college-aged son, Zack. Thanks to Strategic Coach, all three of us are on a shared journey to achieve what Dan Sullivan calls the Four Freedoms of time, of money, of relationship, and of purpose.” 

A Support System Like No Other
Mike never hesitates to call himself an “advocate” for Strategic Coach or share that it’s the most robust and impactful coaching program he’s ever tried (and he’s tried a lot over the last 30 years!).

In Mike’s words, “One thing that makes Strategic Coach unique is that, like us entrepreneurs, it’s constantly evolving and innovating. This means they’re always providing us with new, engaging, and interactive thinking tools and resources to help us increase our freedom. 

“Beyond this, during the quarterly workshops, you get the opportunity to meet a network of smart, ambitious, collaborative business owners from all industries and corners of the globe. This unique creative crossover often leads to lifelong partnerships and friendships. (After all, some members have been in Strategic Coach since it began 30+ years ago!)

“Between workshops, you also get additional one-on-one coaching, support, networking, and access to an online training portal filled with resources, tools, and videos to expand your capabilities. And I haven’t even covered everything!” 

Mike adds, “No matter the size or type of your business, there’s a Strategic Coach program for you—starting with The Signature Program, expanding into 10x Ambition, and finally, Free Zone Frontier for exponential growth.

“Truly, Strategic Coach has changed my life and given my family and me so much. If you ever get the chance to enroll in Strategic Coach, just do it.”
