Why We Don't Do Contracts...
We want our team and coaches to always feel the pressure to show up their best for you. We don’t want to be able to rest because you’re locked in.
So, you’ll stay as long as you find value, and that’s it!
But, here is what we ask of you…
- Show up daily.
- Those who invest consistently, win.
- Do the work. Overnight success doesn’t happen overnight.
The not so fine print…
- You commitment is month to month.
- You can cancel at any time with 30 day’s notice.
Letter From Our Founders
The world is changing. It used to be about rolodexes and phone calls.
Now, it’s about AI, social media, and figuring out how to cut through the noise with people every single day. This is why we felt the calling to create The Collective Coaching!
Shane and Kyle have experienced the good, bad, and ugly of being a business owner. You don’t think people will understand. Your spouse can’t relate. You’re convinced the end is near and your dream starts to fade away.
And as the dream fades, you’re met with new challenges, told to try things you’ve never needed, it’s rough out there!
The Collective wants to keep that flame lit. We want to create an environment where authenticity, constructive criticism, and unconditional love can all coexist. And as important, we want you to WIN.
Welcome HOME. Welcome to The Collective!
Sincerely,
Shane & Kyle
