Become a Cognitive Behavioral Coach and use CBT empower your clients to master their mindset.
Most people never reach their potential because even thought their minds are the most complex and amazing machines on the planet, they’ve inherited faulty programming. But, it’s not their fault—they were never taught how their mind works or how much power they have to create the life they want.
They were probably never taught that they have the ability to change ANYTHING about themselves—including their intelligence, talent, abilities, and personality.
They were probably never taught that they have the ability to control their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
They may have been told they could be or do anything they wanted when they grew up, but they never believed it. Now they’ve grown up and they’ve realized that life is supposed to be more than what they’ve allowed for themselves, and so they hire a coach—that’s you! But, they still have a million thoughts that run through their minds that make them doubt themselves and believe their dreams aren’t possible.
As a coach, you can help your client tame their monkey mind—the one that’s always negative and distracting them from creating the life they want. This course will help you give their monkey mind a banana so they can stay focused and empowered as they move toward their goals.
This course is like the human mind owner’s manual you never knew existed.
In this course, you’ll learn how to use cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, on yourself and your clients. CBT teaches us that our thoughts create our emotions and influence our behavior. We can learn how to have greater control over our thoughts, and therefore, we can have greater control over our emotions and our behaviors.
In this course you’ll learn techniques for reprogramming the mind.

- You’ll help them learn how to stop negative thinking in the act and retrain their monkey mind to think more positively and clearly using CBT techniques.

Joeel and Natalie Rivera
We are Joeel and Natalie Rivera—your soon-to-be coach trainers! (Yes, we’re married AND work together… 24 hours a day… and we LOVE IT!) Below we’ll tell you our story, briefly… the REAL story. The one that wasn’t always easy but that lead us PERFECTLY to this place of living out our life’s purpose and creating the thriving business (and the FREEDOM that comes with it) that we always wanted!
We seek to ignite a revolution of personal freedom through entrepreneurship, empowering each individual to reach their potential and fulfill their life’s purpose.
We are freedom junkies and serial entrepreneurs who empower INDIEpreneurs to create a purpose-driven business and fulfill their life’s purpose. We specialize in teaching people how to use their gifts to make money teaching what they know and love through life coaching and online courses. Joeel has a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Education and is currently completing his dissertation for his Ph.D. in Psychology, with an emphasis on happiness.
In 2014, when we converted our print magazine into digital format, we found we could reach an exponential, worldwide market at a fraction of the time and cost. This inspire us to officially become INFOpreneurs. Then, in 2016 we received a proverbial “kick in the pants” to go “all-in” when Joeel fell ill after traveling overseas. Unable to leave the house, they continued to teach and empower others by turning their in-person workshops, speeches and coach training programs into online courses.
