Welcome back to User Spotlight at ClickFunnels! In this episode, Laura meets Marc Nolan, the longest active kicking and punting football coach in the U.S., to delve into his remarkable journey in the sports education industry. Marc shares insights into his transition from a technology CEO to a passionate coach, his motivation to help young athletes secure college scholarships, and his foray into the world of ClickFunnels.
With a background in technology, Marc highlights his CEO role in a technology consulting company and the eventual realization that his true passion lies in helping young athletes secure scholarships. Fueled by changes in NCAA regulations, Marc decided to write a book, “Don’t Outkick Your Coverage”, to guide parents and athletes through the complexities of college athletic scholarships.
Marc emphasizes the significance of webinars in expanding his reach and delivering his message. He details how ClickFunnels has allowed him to transition from traditional in-person presentations to online webinars, providing a more efficient and scalable approach. Marc’s commitment to serving a niche audience of kickers and punters through specialized book funnels reflects the strategic use of funnels tailored to specific needs.
Beyond the business aspect, Marc shares his heartfelt motivation for success – the desire to buy his wife a lake house as she approaches retirement. This personal touch adds depth to Marc’s entrepreneurial journey, showcasing the profound impact a successful online business can have on personal dreams and family life.
As the conversation concludes, Marc offers valuable advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: take action, invest in yourself, and leverage the expertise of others. He encourages fellow entrepreneurs to embrace the Nike slogan – “Just do it” – emphasizing the importance of faith, persistence, and a willingness to learn.
“If I can give one piece of advice, I would say, stop thinking about it and just do it. Wake up in the morning, get after it. And know that if you, by the time you get done at nighttime, can’t get it done, go find somebody else to get it done for you”.
