"6 days 21 hours and 40 minutes from a very broad "Peaceful Living" life coaching business idea to a niche that you are passionate about and happen to be right in the middle of in your life! That is the power of this group. The persistent nudging of Kevin and the group to think harder and deeper and BAM! A winning idea.
This was great to watch...er...read!"

"Dear FAA friends,
It has been a year since I have been learning from the this family. In November [09], it will be the one year anniversary of being a FAA member and it has changed my life. As many of you know, there has been a lot of activity of GOD working in my life. Growing pains, learning and an adventure.
I want all of you to know that I truly cherish what FAA is all about. Earlier in the summer I was thinking of canceling my membership to save money, but before I did so, I was going to make sure I utilized the [new] site to see if I found it to be an asset. Wow, is it ever!!! Now, thinking of canceling makes me sad and there is absolutely NO WAY I can leave my friends on FAA. Without your continual prayers, support, encouragement and focus, I would not be on the Free Agent path I am on. We laugh together, we cry together and WE CELEBRATE TOGETHER!!! You are closer to me than my local friends, why???? -- YOU UNDERSTAND ME, FOR ME!!! You do not judge, you do not have preconceived notions and you don't tell me to stop dreaming because what I was doing/ thinking about the week prior turned out not to be a good idea -- or path.
Soon I will be at another FAA event and it will be like visiting family and I cannot wait, love you all."

"I am so thankful I found www.FreeAgentAcademy.com. I finally feel like I am getting to communicate with and learn from others who have similar goals as my family. I also hope to continue to participate in others lives and be used by the Lord to encourage them.
Just like looking for a job is always harder than the job itself, so is starting a business... but the reward has always motivated me, and everytime I stop working towards that goal, I just look at what corporate slavery does to people, and I am passionately motivated to keep working to not go down that path.
www.FreeAgentAcademy.com. is also really helping me start to focus on a positive tangible goal rather than just escaping my past. I think that true "focus" that we are developing will get me past some of the challenges that have held me back."

"Hey Kevin! Its great to see you on FB! Its been amazing to see how much your counsel has worked for Sheen Enterprises [a personal client of Kevin's]. Everytime we send out a card it has fabulous return. I am plugged in fully painting houses and working on "the skin of people's homes". My ultimate passion is to personally coach runners and I am working on getting that off the ground. Jon Dale has given me some great advice and I am trying to kick this thing off. You guys have really inspired me and I have much gratitude! My plan is to keep painting and build my coaching business on the side. I loved your photo albums! I love that part of Colorado-the Pike National Forest is so beautiful! I love that you have such a big family! I have a similar desire for many children-we have 2, but working on a third! Well, great job with your plan for us-it truly is working! Hope that you are running well and enjoying this crazy weather Fall! We still need to get out for that trail run! I would love it!"
- Chuck Schwartz, Sheen Clean member and Running Coach
"Hey Teri [Kevin's wife & event co-host], thank you for the timely email. I made that salad last night, everybody loved it! I hope you had some good rest. You were a A++++++++++++++ host! I want to give a spouse testimonial to FAA:
My husband Joel Boggess (www.4PointsCoaching.com), has been a member of FAA since the beginning. He has received so much support over the years, both personally and professionally. I went with him to the last two 'Intensive' events, and absolutely fell in love with the people there. They always honor family first. They are passionate, creative, honest, hard working, and super-supportive. I saw people develop clarity and focus within 24 hours during the event. I saw creative ideas born, and action plans formed! Some members realized their ideas were not profitable as is, but were able to tweak them creatively and make them work! I am a dentist. I have been to so many professional seminars, but never met such a dynamic and inspirational group! Can’t wait for the next one!"
- Dr. Pei Kang, Dentist, wife of coach Joel Boggess
"Thank you for a wonderful event. My wife and I had a blast and really enjoyed the event. I know that we spent a lot of time diving into all of our passions and we may not have gotten through everything you hoped for, but I feel that it was what all of us needed."
- Brett Traudt, Camping Advocate
"What a wonderful experience we had sharing, exchanging ideas, and coming in contact with others much like ourselves who want to "make it" as an entrepreneur! You and Terri (sp?) were an awesome host and hostess. It was obvious that both of you put all you had into the week, both physically and mentally. For that, I thank you."
- Brenda Crouch, Orthopedic Pillow Inventor
"I lose count of the number of round table/intensive events I've attended.
Originally, they were given over the course of a few hours on a Friday. Now they have blossomed into a working and learning vacation.
The secluded environment, coupled with the sincerity of Dan [Miller], Kevin, and Chuck [Bowen] make for a wonderfully inspirational experience.
No matter how many times I attend, I always walk away with fresh business ideas and strategies that are ready to apply.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time and made it home safely.
While we left earlier than we would have liked, we walked away with some powerful ideas that we can plug into pretty quickly. On the plane ride home, the meaningful take-aways continued to stack up."
- Joel Boggess, founder 4 Points Coaching
"A couple of weeks ago when I was in DC, I had the chance to attend an event held by [well know internet marketing personality] (I get his MBI newsletter). The event was free and I happened to be in DC, so the timing was perfect.
I learned some things, met some people and had some fun racing go-karts. But there was something missing. The meeting had no real spirit to it.
At the FAA event, and here on the [membership] site, there is a genuine connection between people. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but for me, I can see that my membership in FAA is by far the best investment I can make in my future and my business.
I just wanted to share that with you.
- James Woosley, Business Coach
"I have just finished listening to Thursday's class. What a GREAT class!!!! Wow!! Kevin and Pierce [Marrs], you hit it out of the ballpark with this class, it was so practical and helpful and exciting. AND - thank you both so very much for being so vulnerable and honest about your own weaknesses. That is what makes this FAA group so very special - the authenticity and openness of the core members who are really striving to learn and grow. I have been "coached" by or sat in seminars to hear people tell me how to do this or do that and it is like they have all the answers and their personality is wired so perfectly that it is obvious why they are successful and I may not be. BUT, in FAA, especially on this call - you both showed how you struggle in your weak areas and what you do to overcome them and it makes me KNOW I can do this, too!!! Because you have both been willing to share your hard questions and answers with us I feel, for the first time, like the secret is, there is no secret!! Many before us have sold us a bill of goods that there is this secret to perfection and they'll tell you everything but that secret.
Your comments about me were more than flattering, thank you very much. I have had another really bad week at my day job and so to hear what you said re-inspired me that I can do this!
Pierce - I will be contacting you, you'll have to pay Kevin a referral fee! LOL!
Can't wait for September [FAA event]!

“I want to take a moment to give a lot of my heart to Kevin Miller. I am a sole believer in specialized guidance and having multiple minds working together on any given decision or project. In working with Kevin, I have been able to brand myself successfully and coin the term 180 Coach. I believe that through Kevin’s guidance, the process and results have been beyond measurable, and the coaching itself was worth far more to me than any dollar amount could name! Thanks for everything Kevin. I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to you. I look forward to continued business in the future!”
