Meet Jacob Rupp | Executive coach and Founder of the 8 to 8 course

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jacob Rupp and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jacob, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I grew up with the mindset that I could either do a job that was fun/meaningful or made me money. I was thrilled to get a job that “paid the bills” but was meaningful–as my family grew and my expenses increased, I found myself struggling– as I pushed myself to learn more about business and mindset, I realized many of the things I was doing in my 9-5 job as a rabbi was being taught in the mindset/business theory I was learning. By refining who I wanted to work with I found myself able to make even more money doing what I loved–and then I realized I also had a knack to teaching others to do the same–I love reading and consuming content so if I can provide value to people by closing the gap between where they are and where they want to be, I am happy. At the end of the day, helping people monetize their knowledge, provide value to others, and then allow them to create freedom in their lives while doing what they love is a dream come true.

What should our readers know about your business?
Jacob Rupp Lead Coach

The 8 to 8 Coaching Course was created by Jacob & Julie Rupp and has helped hundreds of mental health professionals create a lucrative 5 figure PER MONTH coaching business, using the skills they already have, without complex marketing funnels, all the guess work of building a group, or spending endless time spinning their wheels trying to find clients.

The mental health world focuses on helping people enrich, but don’t know how to get rich…and as such many practitioners are offering life saving, life enhancing strategies to their clients and have for years…but aren’t yet at a place of financial freedom. Or, they have achieved financial success but have to work so many hours or with so many clients that they experience burn out.

What 8 to 8 does is to stand in the gap. The gap between knowing how to create results but not knowing how to build a lucrative business, and the gap between working endless hours or spending tons of money on “marketing” without being able to build $10- $20 K+ per month businesses. 

 The 8 to 8 course consists of:
• 8 weeks of pre-recorded strategic content to launch your business.
• 8 weeks of live group coaching calls to build your community of entrepreneurs, answer individual questions, role play, and see live coaching with Founders Jacob & Julie.
• 4 1:1 deep mindset sessions with a dedicated coach to shift your mindset and deep dive into your personalized strategy
• Unlimited Copy coaching to clarify your messaging across all platforms
• Private Facebook group for deep support & resources along your journey.

Hopefully this provides some background. What sets us apart from others is the niche we work with (highly educated mental health professionals who are motivated to build successful 1 to 1 coaching businesses) and the percentage of people who work with us who end up hitting their financial goals.

Getting here wasn’t easy–it required me to dig deep, and on the daily face my fears and push myself forward. I did this by hiring exceptional mentors, reading a ton, taking care of myself, and seeking a lot of self development.

I want the world to know that we don’t have to live according the societal norms of needing endless preperatory steps–most of us are already more than qualified to help others and make a great living doing it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Id take them on many of the gorgeous hikes throughout Phoenix, and the awesome bars around the city–here, paradise valley, and scottsdale.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Julie Rupp, my wife and business partner. My wife has been supporting me since day one (well, when we met when we were 18) and is a powerhouse coach and visionary as well as wife, mom, and workout partner.
