Brent Kocal works with entrepreneurs entering the second half of their business journey to make it wildly more profitable and fun than the first half. In addition to having over two decades of experience as an entrepreneur and founding four companies, he has invested over 15,000 hours in marketing, lead generation and sales. To date, he’s helped create more than $46MM in enterprise value for his client’s companies.
Experienced entrepreneurs who feel trapped in their current business and believe they are a few pieces away from the money and purpose they really want are the ones who call Brent. He is a master at helping people overcome internal conflict that bubbles to the surface when they realize they are operating far below their potential.
Brent started his first company in 2003 and grew it to multiple 7 figures in revenue within 3 years. By 2010, he got bored with it when his skills as a businessman outgrew the challenge of that business. He has since started businesses in software, apparel and consulting.
Brent is unafraid to speak the truth no matter what the consequences may be.
My name is Brent Kocal and people view me as successful. But I didn’t always feel that way. I actually felt more stuck than successful.
My business provided enough money to live what many would call a very nice lifestyle, but it was one I grew to resent because I knew deep down I was settling for abundance when I knew I was capable of prosperity.
I experienced so much friction in feeling like I had outgrown my business and had the battle the fear that comes with leaving good for great. It was an emotional roller coaster and I made a ton of mistakes, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
As a matter of fact, I do it over and over again with my clients (except for the part about mistakes … I already made those so my clients don’t have to). I love watching the transformation happen when entrepreneurs take control of their destiny.
I have found my true purpose in not being the hero of the story, but rather the guide who helps the hero win the day.
Oh, I’ve also been tazered by the cops and sung “Saturday Night” on stage with Elton John (totally unrelated incidents :-))
Many people … way too many … have tolerated mediocrity for far too long. This doesn’t mean they suck or have especially shitty lives. People can drive $200,000 cars and still feel like they live a life that is mediocre for them.
Society has vilified people who live at the highest version of themselves, often characterizing them as “takers” when they are the very people creating that from which their accusers take. That’s created a subconscious barrier that keeps people back from reaching their potential.
