The Serendipitous Story of How I Ended up Coaching on a Chilean Patio

Serendipity has struck while my wife (Cindy) and I are in Chile.

You’re going to love this story. Check this out...

Let's dig in, shall we?

Cindy and I are in Chile for the next month to do some volunteer work at a local church and explore Santiago.

You see, Cindy lived and worked here for 10 years back in her 20’s. She has many fond memories and always wanted to bring me here (I’ve never been). So, we decided to make it happen (but not as tourists).

It was important to us to spend several weeks here and get emersed in the culture while serving in some capacity.

While we're here, we are staying with a couple (Christian and Dawn) who graciously agreed to host us in their home (that's a whole other serendipitous story that I'll share another day).

Here’s where things get interesting. After we arrived, we got to chatting...

Turns out Christian and Dawn have just launched a new tiny home vacation community here in Chile (Sunset Tiny Homes) and have so many questions about their business model and how to properly market their tiny homes.

They asked me what I do...

"I'm a business coach and consultant. I work with a lot of new entrepreneurs helping them get clarity on their business strategy and how to market to their ideal customers."

Needless to say, we were both very interested in diving further into their business.

Yesterday, we spent several hours on their patio reviewing multiple business models, brainstorming a bunch of new ideas, working through their brand, their messaging, and countless marketing strategies.

How cool is that?
Perhaps some great material for my upcoming TED Talk?
We'll see...

And hey, do me a favour and show Christian and Dawn some love.
