The Play BIG challenge is an exclusive small group mastermind AND coaching program with Coach Dave Buck; Exclusive to business players like you with an undeniable DESIRE or an absolute NEED to play BIG in YOUR business right now!
A few Play BIG Scenarios.
Are you one or more of these?
From a coaching business perspective, playing big would be for you if you have built a successful coaching business at the high-five’s revenue level and know that it is time to bust into 6 figures and beyond. You are going to have to be MORE visible, MORE strategic and MORE connected. It is time for you to PLAY BIG!
You have built a successful business and your life partner was also working so you had two incomes. Now your partner has lost or left his/her job and now you are the sole financial source for your family. The pressure is on. It is time for you to PLAY BIG!
You have a solid business but it requires a LOT of effort on your part. Now you have something in your life that is demanding a LOT of your energy - perhaps an ailing parent or child or mate - and you have to find a way to keep your business moving while you deal with the rest of your life. It is time for you to PLAY BIG!
You have a vision for how you want to take your message to more people.
You know that it is time for you to have a bigger positive impact in your community
You want to Coach bigger players in bigger games with higher stakes and larger coaching fees.
It is time for you to PLAY BIG!
The BIG Idea
Playing BIG is your only option when your vision or your situation demands that you become something more than you are right now. Or when you know in your hearts’ desire that NOW is your time to…
- Expand who you have become
- Express something important
- Experience something profound
When this happens it is a BEAUTIFUL thing because you KNOW that you are being called outside of your comfort zone of familiar patterns of thought, feeling and action.
In this 100 Day challenge program YOU design your BIG business game and then as we play together we will explore the 15 Proficiencies of Playing BIG - each one packed with possibilities for growth and expansion of who you are in the world.
For example, #5 Play-Ability is the ability to bring your game to life in everything you do. This quality of “aliveness” has the potential to transform individuals, teams, communities even humanity.
NOTE: the program time has changed to 11 AM ET. This is a bit early for West Coast US folks I know. However, I will be filming a new reality TV show in April in San Diego and need to be on the set by 12 Noon ET / 9 AM PT.

A few thoughts...
Maybe your back is against the wall
Maybe you are in a slump and you know you need to shake things up
Maybe you are just coming back after a major life challenge like a death, breakup, illness or accident.
Maybe you just have the feeling inside of you that NOW is the time to step up and stand out
Only you know your reason. But we all know that something needs to happen and it needs to happen FAST.
My Play BIG moment happened with my best friend, mentor and business collaborator dropped dead from a heart attack at the age of 48. I was devastated by a heart-breaking loss, left with a company to run that was 10 times bigger than anything I had ever done before, and a job to try to fill the shoes of an industry icon.
I had no choice. It was my time to play BIG.
It was pretty messy for a long while, but I learned a ton about playing big and stepping up to an enormous challenge. It will be my honor to be your coach in your Play Big situation.
A 100 Day Challenge is played over 14 weeks and is designed like this:
1) Pre-Season: one week
2) 12 one-week games
3) Post Season: one week to evaluate your game and plan your next season
4) Final Celebration: The final gathering with your team
1) Pre-Season: The first week where you will create your online vision board that you will share with your Coach and your team.
Then you will design the exercises, recurring actions and results that you will play for in a winnable game that will be fun and challenging to play every weekday for 100 Days.
2) 12 0ne-Week Games
In each one-week game you will:
Complete 1 exercise
Engage in one or more recurring activities that constitute “PLAYING” the game
Results: Something happens in the world as a result of your game actions.
Exercises
Exercises are mini-projects that feel great to accomplish and help you play your game better. You may already have a list of exercises you want to complete, and we will provide a list of power PLAY BIG exercises for you to choose from.
Examples include:
Identify the people in your Super 7 Inner Circle. Connect with each one to share the outline for your Play BIG challenge – make sure they are behind you 100%.
Scan your environment for 5 people, places or things that are draining your energy (aka Tolerations) and do whatever it takes to clean it up, remove it, or replace it.
In a 100 Day Challenge you will design one exercise for each “game” so that will mean 12 exercises.
Recurring Actions
Recurring actions are the things you do while PLAYING the game. These are the skills that you want to improve or master.
Examples include
If you are playing a business game an action would be: talk to a potential customer about your products or services.
Identify THE NUMBER ONE most confronting conversation or action that you must do to move forward and do it before Noon. This is a recurring action because when you are playing BIG every day is filled with actions that you will find confronting. Doing one per day will have a huge impact on your energy flow.
Results
Results are what you desire to happen from your activities. It is best when it is something outside of yourself but that is not always possible; sometimes you have to get creative when defining your desired results and that is part of the fun.
Examples include:
if you are playing a business game a result would be a potential customer saying “YES!” I want your product or service!
Receive an acknowledgement from someone who was included in your confronting action list.
3) Evaluation
At the end of a season it is very important to take the time to evaluate and celebrate. The evaluation includes acknowledging what you accomplished, how much you improved your skills, new things you learned, expanded awareness and things that did not go as expected.
Then it is important to plan a brief rest period and make a plan for your next challenge.
4) Celebration
No matter what happens or doesn’t happen in your 100 Day challenge, there is ALWAYS something to celebrate. And you will join in celebration with your team mates and acknowledge who you have become for each other. Embrace to joy of an ending and the anticipation of a new beginning.
The content of your weekly meetings.
In each weekly team meeting we will share big wins and embrace unexpected challenges as a team.
Then we will explore a key concept from the Play BIG Proficiencies for insights into the human Spirit of Play.
These explorations will help you move forward in your shift from WORK language to PLAY language; from focusing on solving problems to focusing on creating possibilities.
YOUR Game
The activities of the Play BIG challenge will be designed by you for your situation. It will probably include a mix of exercises and actions from business / career, relationship, creative expression, finance and vibrant health.
In each session you will explore the abilities needed to playing big in life and apply them to your situation. Your team mates will also play a key role as we create a safe space to brainstorm and role play the key situations you will face in the upcoming weeks game.
