You want to start something.
You have an idea, but you're not sure where to begin, what to focus on, or whether you should begin at all.
I help people who want to build a business of their own make better decisions, stop going in circles, and keep moving when things get difficult.
You don't always need a new idea.
Sometimes you need to give the one you have a real chance.
Sometimes you really do need to change direction. But sometimes the hard part is simply the part where the excitement wears off and you have to decide whether you're still willing to keep going.
I've had to learn that distinction myself.
It depends on where you are. You don't need to arrive with the answer already figured out.
You have an idea, but you're not sure where to begin, what to focus on, or whether you should begin at all.
You're building, but you're losing focus, questioning the direction, or getting pulled toward the next idea.
Things look fine from the outside, but you're wondering if this is really what you want to keep doing.
I've started things that didn't work. I've changed direction. I've had ideas I was convinced were the answer, only to lose interest when things became difficult.
For a long time, I thought I needed to find the right thing. Eventually I started asking a different question: what happens if I stay with one thing long enough to really find out?
Today, that's a big part of the work I do with people who are trying to build something of their own.
I've been coaching since 2015, when I founded AGC Coaching across life, career and sport. I'm a Certified NLP & Life Coach.
Alongside 1:1 work, I've built two communities around the same ideas. Morning Flow, a weekly in-person space in Bali. A peer accountability group I started in 2022 ran weekly for three years, and today meets every few months with a smaller group.
I don't have a formula for your business. I do have experience with the messy part of trying to build one.
Certified since 2015, working across life, career and business.
Out of 200+ people coached overall, 1:1 and in groups.
Two communities I've built and run: Morning Flow in person, and a peer accountability group online.
“Before, I was always in between different projects, trying to find what I should focus on. I focused on something, I did it well and even if it's not perfect, it's there.”
Talora, Founder“I'm very skeptical by default about services like this. But it never felt like some random guy teaching things that aren't applicable to my case. You adapt, you listen, and you ask the right questions.”
Ivan, Agency Founder“I'm a certified coach myself, trained through the International Coach Federation, so take this as a peer review, not just a client's opinion. Ale applies real coaching skill, but you never feel it being ‘applied.’ It just feels like a conversation.”
Cecilia, Certified ICF Coach“I don't need all the skills, I have everything. What I actually needed was clarity. That's what this work gave me.”
Metha, Founder, BathBreeze“The clarity that came from the first sessions helped me make decisions faster and more clearly.”
Oscar, Entrepreneur“Friends can give you advice, but nothing you can really act on. Same with ChatGPT, general guidance, not structured steps that get you somewhere. Clarity and accountability were the two biggest things.”
Christine, FounderA few ideas I keep coming back to.
Motivation fades the moment things get hard. What keeps you moving is structure: clear priorities and a way to tell if you're stuck or just uncomfortable.
A new idea feels exciting again, and it looks like progress. Most of the time it's just a way to avoid the harder work of staying with the one you already have.
Starting only takes energy and a good week. Staying takes a decision you keep making after the excitement is gone.
Short, occasional notes on staying with one direction long enough to find out if it works. Leave your name and email and I'll send you the first one.
Thanks! I've opened your email app, just hit send and I'll get the notes over to you.
You don't need to have it all figured out before we talk. Tell me what's going on and we'll see if I can help.
