About Ben Kirk:

Ben Kirk is not your standard coach. He cares too much about his clients just to be ‘nice’ and refuses to be categorized as a business, executive, or even a life coach. Instead, he has created a niche as an accountability advisor and coach focusing on high performance and productivity. Also trained in military tactics and strategy, he gives direct, no-nonsense support and accountability to his clients, who range from CEOs to side-hustle entrepreneurs.

Ben’s mission is to demystify the science of success and cut through the ‘BS, fluff, and waffle’ of self-help with clear, actionable advice that will move the success needle for you. His mantra, ‘Do Better, Be Better, Win the Day’, sums up his philosophy of incremental self-improvement, no excuses, and a bias for action.
