Life Coach
Dane Kolbaba
You Already Know What It Takes To Change and I am Here to Help You Take Action
Chandler, AZ, United States
Background
About
I’m an entrepreneur, operator, and coach who believes success should create freedom—not consume your entire life.
I’ve built businesses, made difficult decisions, navigated uncertainty, and learned that ambition alone isn’t enough. You need clarity about what matters, the courage to cut what doesn’t, and a practical plan that turns intention into progress.
My coaching is direct, strategic, and grounded in the real world. I won’t give you empty motivation or pretend every problem can be solved with positive thinking. I’ll help you uncover what’s actually holding you back, make better decisions, and follow through on the changes that matter.
Whether you’re building a business, redefining success, or trying to regain control of your direction, the goal is simple: build a life that reflects your ambition without becoming trapped by it.
Build the life your ambition was supposed to buy.

What sets me apart
Why Choose Dane
What sets me apart is that I coach from the perspective of a business owner and operator who understands the pressure of making difficult decisions in the real world. I combine honest accountability with practical strategy, helping clients turn clarity into action instead of relying on empty motivation. I won’t just help you feel better about where you are—I’ll help you build a clear path toward where you want to be.
Methodology
My Coaching Approach
My approach is direct, practical, and built around action. We won’t spend months talking in circles or chasing motivation that disappears a few days later. We’ll identify what’s actually keeping you stuck, determine what matters most, and build a realistic path forward.
Our work follows five steps:
- Clarify what you truly want—not what others expect from you.
- Diagnose the habits, beliefs, decisions, or circumstances holding you back.
- Prioritize the changes that will create the greatest impact.
- Act through specific commitments, clear deadlines, and honest accountability.
- Adjust based on real results, not assumptions or perfection.
I’ll ask difficult questions, challenge your blind spots, and tell you when your actions don’t match your stated goals. I’ll also help you recognize progress, recover from setbacks, and make decisions with greater confidence.
You bring the willingness to be honest and do the work. I bring structure, perspective, accountability, and a relentless focus on helping you move forward.
Best Fit
Who I Help
My ideal client is ambitious, capable, and ready for meaningful change—but feels stuck between where they are and where they know they could be.
You may be an entrepreneur, business owner, leader, or driven professional who appears successful on the outside but feels overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or uncertain about what comes next. You don’t need more generic advice. You need clarity, a stronger decision-making process, and someone who will hold you accountable without sugarcoating the truth.
You’re a strong fit if you’re willing to examine your choices honestly, challenge old patterns, make difficult decisions, and take consistent action.
I’m not the right coach for someone looking for quick fixes, empty encouragement, or another person to blame. I work best with people who are ready to take ownership, do the work, and build a life that matches their ambition.
