“Nils knew all about me and knew what would motivate me. He knew his craft, but he knew me and that’s a recipe for success.” — Brian Buffini Like many successful people, Brian takes time away from his business to rest, recover and recharge. In this episode, he shares a story of taking a trip to the Comox Valley in British Columbia with his then-15-year old son to rest, think, bond and hike. At the urging of his son, they hired a guide named Nils to lead them up one of the tallest mountains in the Canadian Rockies. With Nils’ coaching and advice, Brian learned a valuable lesson that reconnected him with why he enjoys coaching in the first place. You’ll learn why mountain climbing is a lot like life, the importance of having experts on your side and what motivates Brian to coach people to succeed.   Inspirational quotes from today’s interview “Today you’re going to climb a mountain. You know how you’re gonna do it? One foot at a time.” — Nils “You’re a coach, and you’re getting coached.” — Nils “That is one of the best days I’ve ever had…inspiring. To be able to coach and help you over fears and limitations, and help you do something that many years from now you’ll be extremely proud you did, that’s why I do what I do.” — Nils “What inspires me is people who trust – who jump across the ravine, even if it doesn’t feel good.” — Brian Buffini “We’ve helped a lot of people get to the top of the mountain. That’s what makes me feel alive.” — Brian Buffini “Nils knew all about me and knew what would motivate me. He knew his craft, but he knew me and that’s a recipe for success.” — Brian Buffini “It’s like life. When you fight getting up the hill, the other side is cakewalk. A lot of times, you have momentum on your side…walking down that mountain was like a walk in the park.” — Brian Buffini “You gotta do the hard stuff first and then the good stuff comes.” — Brian Buffini “I seek out people who are experts at what they do. I’m not going to go over the crevasse with a handyman who does it once in a while.” — Brian Buffini   Connect with Brian Buffini http://www.brianbuffini.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Buffini Show Insiders: http://www.thebrianbuffinishow.com/insiders Love what you heard?
