Sometimes You Just Need A Helping Hand
In this photo, I’m helping a young man up a particularly steep part of a mountain. He had tried several times, but every time he made a little upward progress, he would eventually start sliding backward. However, by holding on to a guy line and extending my hand to reach out to him, I was able to help him past this technical section, and eventually he made i to the summit of the cliff we were climbing.
One step forward, and two steps back. Does that sound familiar? I’ve encountered many business owners and executives who are trying to climb the mountain of success on their own. But for every bit of progress, they slide back even more. It’s frustrating, and can be quite costly. Many times, they just need a helping hand to get them through a rough spot.
That’s where I come in. My 30+ years of business experience, and 20+ years of coaching and consulting with companies around the world have given me particular insights skills that might be just the helping hand you need. Don’t be stuck. Don’t keep sliding backward. Give me a call...I’ll be your helping hand.

Business Coaching - A Guide for Your Adventure
World-class Olympic athletes have coaches. 5-year-olds playing soccer at the park have coaches. Steve Jobs had a coach, and so did Bill Gates. Why? Because coaches can identify opportunists for improvement that you can't see yourself.
EVERY ENTREPRENEUR AND BUSINESS OWNER NEEDS A COACH!
A great coach can help you identify blind spots in your business, push you to be more creative and more productive, hold you accountable to your goals, and be that important sounding board for new ideas, strategies and partnerships.
There are an awful lot of people out there today calling themselves business coaches. I know a million of them. Some good, and some not so much. Working with a coach is a deeply personal engagement, and on some level you’re buying WHO they are and WHY they do what they do. It’s hard to know who to trust—not simply when it comes to their methodology or the quality of their training, but also in terms of their approach to business and life in general.
Business coaching is a relationship. It’s a trusted place for you go to for guidance, support and accountability so you can figure out what’s in the way of creating the business you want.
My coaching will help you find direction in your business, bring renewed energy and excitement to your leadership.
As your business coach, I will be a “guide” for your business. I'll help you figure you WHAT you need to do, HOW you need to do it and most importantly WHY. As your Guide, my job is to give you the clear map in the right direction, but you've got to be the one to execute and take the steps to achieve your goals.

"Ideas, ideas, and more ideas. Marty is a true expert in his industry. He was born with a huge gift of coming up with amazing ideas to help and take your business to the next level (or the next 10 levels). I feel like every time I talk to the guy I get smarter.

He is a coach, a mentor and role model for me, and If you are lucky to have him on your team DON'T LET HIM GO.. He is priceless in my book. Thanks for everything Marty." — Jesse Eker

Once per quarter, we will meet face to face on a one-day Adventure, where the virtual campfire will become a REAL campfire as we use the peace and tranquility of the outdoors to dig into deeper coaching issues.

Business Mastermind Groups - On Belay!
In climbing and mountaineering, you may have a “belay” which is another climber who is providing support on a climbing rope so that if you fall, they will hold on to you and limit your danger. In some cases, they are literally holding your life in their hands.
Masterminding is very similar. You put trust in your mastermind partners to help support you in your efforts to climb your business to the top of the mountain of success.
Masterminding is a VERY important part of the success we've experienced at Adventurist Inspired Marketing. So much so, that we wrote a book about it! (Get your free copy here)
Some of the most successful minds in history have sworn by the power of the Mastermind. Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill are just few who have leveraged the power of the Mastermind to reach the pinnacle of success.
At Adventurist Inspired Marketing, we are building several different Mastermind Groups to suit every every business and every budget. Contact us today for a free initial consultation to see if we have a Mastermind group for you!

"Working with Marty has been Amazing!"
Mark Gill Key Account Executive: Pandora x SoundCloud

"I brought Marty on as a coach to help me with my e-commerce business, and it’s amazing how much I’ve learned in our first 10 weeks working together. My website’s conversion rate was a measly 0.7% when we first started working together. After some adjustments to my website, ads, and copy, my conversion Rate jumped to an astonishing 13%. Marty is full of great ideas and is a true marketing and advertising expert. I highly recommend working with him."

Ever feel like you are "Swimming with the sharks" with your business?
I know the feeling. I’ve battled 3 foot nurse sharks, 7 foot black-tip reef sharks...and every kind of “shark” in business that you can imagine. With me on your team, I can help you avoid the sharks that are looking for an easy mark. Often times, the money I SAVE a company by helping them avoid bad deals with my counsel is an even bigger boost to profit margins than the money I make them through innovative marketing. After all, as the wise Benjamin Franklin said “A penny saved is a penny earned”.
