How Richmond Dinh Turned His Last $50K Into an 8-Figure Coaching Empire

Published on: 24th November, 2025

Wow!… this episode is something special

I got to sit down with Richmond Dinh — and let me tell you, his story blew me away. He used to be an optometrist (yep, eye doctor!) for 10 years, but deep down, it wasn’t his dream. Then he hit rock bottom. I’m talking lost-over-a-million-dollars kind of rock bottom.


But instead of giving up, he took his last $50,000 and spent it all on personal development. Fast forward to now? He’s a coach with an 8-figure business — and he’s helping others do the same.


We talk about so much in this episode:

• How to start small, even if you have zero followers

• Why being around the right people can change your life

• What to do when you're scared to take action

• And how to give without expecting anything in return


He also breaks down his method called the “Tiny Challenge” — which helps new coaches grow fast without needing fancy funnels or big audiences. Honestly, it’s genius.


I even share a bit of my own story too — how I walked away from a successful family business because I felt totally unfulfilled. Richmond and I have a lot in common, and this chat got real. Like, goosebumps real.


If you’ve ever thought, “There’s gotta be more to life than this,” then you need to hear this one.

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad we get to grow together.

I left my family job to pursue my passion. Leaving behind the comfort of my conventional 9-5 job to embark on a journey fully aligned with my passions was a pivotal moment. The birth of personal growth wasn’t just about pursuing my dreams; it was a message to my son, Wesley, that he possesses the boundless potential to accomplish anything he sets his mind to. As I witnessed the profound transformation in Wesley’s life, along with the positive impact it had on our family, I knew I couldn’t keep it for myself. It became my mission to spread these empowering skills with all of you.
