Scott lives in Clearwater FL with his wife and four kids, including 7-year-old twin girls. Scott enjoys coaching on and off the field, as he is often seen coaching his son and daughter’s sports teams. Scott also serves as a volunteer leader in Traillife USA, a committed member and Children’s Ministry Volunteer at his church at Countryside Christian Church and serves as a Leadership Chair for Christian Business Men Connection (CBMC) Tampa Bay. Scott will raise his hand for a round of golf – especially for a great cause – and enjoys any excuse to get time in the outdoors and taking time to travel with his family.

One of Scott’s favorite quotes by M. Scott Peck is “until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.”

One of Scott’s favorite client’s success stories was a family-based business that came into coaching with steady cash flow and record months in sales yet was on the brink of failure and within only a couple of months was scared of losing everything, their house, their assets and their business.  They were defeated, broken and emotionally unavailable to themselves and others.  Thankfully, this second-generation family run lawn maintenance company stuck it out in coaching and went from losing money in their business to only a few years later building out multiple brands inside their industry and becoming a trail blazer for other landscaping companies to follow, network and refer together.  Today they have successfully transitioned the business to their son who continues to expand their reach among the affluent community and into luxury service offerings.

Juliet Kyes

Managing Partner & Business Coach

Juliet joined the firm less than a month before her parents and co-founders opened the firm’s doors in 2007. She has grown over the years into a well-connected and respected business leader with a drive for excellence and making an impact in her local community. Her clients would describe her as easy to talk to, positive, organized, systematic, caring and a creative thinker. She has a unique ability to take complex concepts and make it easy to understand. She has given her time to numerous organizations over the years including serving as a Board Member for St Pete Chamber and Chair of the Ambassadors – even achieving the honor of Member of the Year. She has also served as a leader in BNI Tampa for the region and her St. Pete based chapter passing over one million dollars in closed business in the last seven years and being recognized as Member of the Year and Inviter of the Year. She consistently implements the tools and concepts taught to clients in the firm she manages – and the team has accomplished a growth of over 200% in the last 5 years and now ranks #1 in the US and #3 in the world in their international franchise spanning over 80 countries.

Juliet and her wife Jennifer both share a passion for travel and entrepreneurship. Jennifer is a travel advisor that focuses on creating amazing memories and luxury experiences for business owners who now have the freedom to travel thanks to coaching. They have a 15-year-old yorkie, Sasha, that still has puppy-like energy spirits. Juliet recently accomplished a long-time goal of taking 12 trips in 12 months, some trips spanned several weeks and included bucket list locations like Alaska, Hawaii, and the Mediterranean. Juliet is a fan of sparkling water and leans towards basic flavors like lime and lemon. Her coffee order is an oat or almond milk iced latte with no sugar. Her favorite quote is “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” by hockey hall of famer, Wayne Gretzky.

One of Juliet’s favorite client stories was a client that came to her after investing over hundred thousand with a consulting company that came in for 5 weeks and left him just as fast as they came with a mountain of debt from interest and loads of confusion without the guidance to implement what they delivered. Within one year this same client was able to get himself out of the field by hiring a reliable team, build new sales relationships, implement new marketing campaigns, reduce AR by over 50% and double their revenue. This client has just recently hired a salesperson to replace himself as the only salesperson and has the vision to continue to grow by double digits each year while enjoying his renewed sense of freedom.
