You didn't lose your peace. You outran it.For 90 days, we stop running and let it catch up.
For successful men who've mastered discipline and lost their peace. Twenty quiet minutes each morning, on your own schedule, plus live calls with Andy.
From Andy Taylor, who has coached more than 500 clients and owned five real estate brokerages, and who outran his own peace before finding the way back.
Successful men. Demanding lives. Ninety mornings. In their own words, here is what changed.
He has the discipline to execute at the highest level, but not the restraint to keep the vices and indulgences from robbing him of a life worth living.
It takes longer to catch his breath than it used to. He assumes other men have peace. They don't. And neither does he.
You've read the books, hired the trainer, listened to the podcasts, and paid for the consultant. You know you should sleep more, drink less, put the phone down, and see a therapist. You could teach a class on what you're supposed to do.
So when nothing changes, you assume you need more discipline: a better morning routine, a harder challenge, just one more deal to close.
But more discipline is just one more thing to chase. It's a container with no bottom. You can pour in all the effort you want, and it will still come up empty, because you were created for peace, and you will never receive it by chasing its byproducts.
You don't have a discipline problem. You have a sequence problem.
And wisdom only arrives in the margin: the quiet moments you've filled with noise for twenty years.
Discipline is what built your life. It gets you up before the house wakes, through the last rep, and across the finish line of every goal you've set.
But discipline is the wrong tool for the moment that's costing you most: the impulse at 9 p.m., the reach for the phone, the thought you can't stop replaying.
That moment calls for a different muscle. Most high achievers have never trained it, so they try to win that fight with willpower and lose it every time.
The discipline that built your life may not be enough to help you finally live it.
Inside the 90 days, you'll build both, in the right order.
Our journey towards peace begins with creating the container to receive it.
Before peace can arrive, there has to be somewhere for it to land.
Find where your peace has been leaking out, and why.
Not everything you've poured in was meant to stay.
Learn to live from the exhale, long after Day 90.
We start at one fixed point, and move outward.
The house is still quiet. You have a warm cup of tea, a pen, and a journal.
An essay from Andy is waiting in your inbox: five to seven minutes, meant to be read slowly. High achievers are trained to skim for the takeaway. Here, there isn't one to skim for.
Then you put pen to page and breathe. You check in with the commitments you chose for yourself. No one is grading you. No one is watching. Just you, and the quiet you've been outrunning.
Then you go build your empire, a little less in a hurry than you were yesterday.
Nothing of substance is built in a rush, especially when it comes to matters of the soul.
For more than a decade as a business coach, promising results was easy: increase revenue by 50%, leverage your team, systematize everything. Every promise came with an objective measure.
I won't make that kind of promise here. The moment a high achiever holds this experience to an objective standard, it becomes one more thing to manifest and control.
Each of us brings something different to the table, and no two of us walk the same path. So instead of a guarantee, here is where I believe you'll be.
For some, a measure of peace is a twelve-minute respite each morning: a quiet cup of tea, a reconnection with the God of your understanding, a soul at rest before the day begins.
For others, it's the ability to come home and leave work at work. To be fully present with the people you love. To sit through a date night without the mental Rolodex spinning in the background.
And for those who need more than a cup of peace, it's an invitation to a much deeper experience. I will have shown you the practice, given you the tools, and helped you build the first layer of restraint that forms the container. You may choose to spend the next season of your life going deeper, not into an abyss, but into the comfort and satisfaction of a deep exhale.
Which result you receive has less to do with your drive, and more to do with the margin you create to exhale.
I've coached more than 500 clients one-on-one. I've owned five real estate brokerages and led my own sales team of more than twenty agents. In all those years, I've seen the same exhaustion in the eyes of the broke and the wealthy, the young and the old.
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
I know, because I gained a good piece of it. At thirty, I made $800 a month, and everything I owned fit inside my 1973 VW bus. Over the next fifteen years, I built a net worth of more than $14 million: apartment buildings, commercial properties, a sprawling home, a $2 million lake house, even a resort in Honduras. Nothing I bought, no drug I took, and no achievement high I chased brought me any closer to a soul at rest. That didn't come until I stopped running and finally let peace pursue me.
I created the 90 Day Pursuit of Peace because I grew weary of helping men build businesses from bricks taken from their own souls.
Peace is our natural state. Yet the high achiever runs ahead of it, chasing ambition, approval, and achievement.
My role now is not to teach you peace. It's to give you the practice to wait for it to arrive again.
Before The Pursuit of Peace, Andy spent years coaching business owners and leaders one-on-one. Here is what they say about having him in their corner.
He's helped my real estate business grow immensely, as well as helped me grow as a man, father, and husband.
“Andy has poured into me over the last few years… If you need a person of character to push you to the next level, then look no further.”
“Beyond business strategy, his guidance has challenged me to grow as a leader, father, professional, and person overall. The level of wisdom, clarity, and experience he brings is hard to find…”
Diego S. Mentorship client“I was so disenchanted (distraught really) over business ownership and ready to walk away from it all. He taught me practical skills I was in desperate need of and helped me emotionally disentangle myself from the business.”
Desi, Owner of Old Town Yoga Coaching client, 2019–2021“He asks the right questions to get you where you need to go. He is kind yet firm, he doesn't pull punches and is an amazing accountability partner.”
Jinger B. Coaching client“He asks the tough questions that really make you reflect on your goals, systems, and what's holding you back… My first year in real estate was a grind, but with Andy's guidance, I doubled my production in year two to almost 10 million in Volume.”
Chelsea K. Coaching client“When a coach knows how to ask the right questions, big results can follow. Andy, thank you. It was uncomfortable and eye-opening. Great coaching.”
Jesse R. Coaching client“Breakthrough gave me a level of consistency and confidence I've never been able to create on my own. The structure, the Scorecard, and the way Andy ties everything to how you're actually wired it just works.”
David B. Breakthrough client“I truly appreciate the wisdom, directness and encouragement that Andy brings! It has helped me focus my business and over time grow it into the business I envisioned it becoming.”
Joe S. Coaching client“Was super scared to allow someone to guide me and tell me what to do… but I took the chance. Couldn't be happier with just the accountability and the push that I get from coaching with Andy… he just simplified goals and actions for me so I can achieve and not feel like I failed myself.”
Josean R. Coaching client“His ability to break down complex concepts and offer personalized guidance has helped me grow tremendously… His attention to detail, deep knowledge of the field, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.”
Jennifer H. Coaching client“Andy's approach is clear, practical, and focused on the fundamentals that actually drive results. His coaching cuts through the noise and brings attention back to the systems, habits, and accountability that keep an agent moving forward.”
Robert C. Breakthrough client“Andy is extremely knowledgeable with his craft… It's also been a huge way of living my life's potential.”
Gary C. Group coaching client“Perhaps the shortage of podcasts and self help books are just not cutting it… I can confirm they don't even come close to what THIS coach can do if you let him in and commit to the process.”
Karay P. Coaching client“The combination of weekly 1:1 sessions and group coaching has been incredibly valuable. I've seen meaningful growth in both my mindset and my business.”
Abe S. Coaching client“I highly recommend if you're shooting to take your business and overall personal well being to the next level! I would not be where I am today if it weren't for the coaching I have received…”

Most men wait for the right conditions: after the deal closes, after the busy season, after the kids are back in school. But no matter where you go, there you are. Your schedule will never clear itself to make room for peace.
Begin when you're ready, not when it's convenient.
Your first morning arrives two days after you join, just enough time to find a journal and a pen.
Waiting for peace to arrive begins with learning patience. These are 90 days of guided practice to build it.
The essays and exercises are yours to keep, forever.
All you need: a journal, a pen, and twenty minutes.
Begin the 90 DaysAll sales are final. There is no greater commitment you can make to yourself than a no-compromise, no-excuse commitment to receiving peace. You will receive in the measure you engage.
Not ready yet? That's honest. Read my essays and follow along until you are.
No. This experience won't cost you your ambition; I believe it will sharpen it. The man who can find peace, both at the plow and away from it, has a far greater capacity for achievement. Peace may be the ultimate optimization tool.
Metal is forged at its hottest. There is no better time to build the container for peace than when your Rome is burning. And if you stepped back and looked at your business objectively, you might admit your Rome is always burning, precisely because you've never created space for peace. It takes twenty minutes each morning. If you can't find twenty minutes, that's the clearest sign you need it. Your schedule will never clear itself. Begin when you're ready, not when it's convenient.
Those gave you more knowledge, and you don't need more knowledge. My goal is to help you uncover the secrets you keep from yourself, using discipline and restraint to unlock the truths you've conveniently forgotten. This isn't a challenge to grit your way through. There are no hot coals or ice baths. It's a practice built in a specific sequence, and the sequence is the difference.
Hell no. You'll be invited to make room for the God of your understanding, whatever that means to you, including nothing at all. The practices work whatever you believe. If you have a faith tradition, this will strengthen it.
No. It's a guided practice, not a substitute for professional care. If you're struggling with addiction, depression, or thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out to a licensed professional, and know that this experience can work alongside that support.
Two days after you sign up. Your only requirement for Day 1: wake twenty minutes earlier than usual, and arrive with a journal, a pen, and a decaf drink.
Progress, not perfection. You have 120 days to complete the 90. Learning to give yourself grace is part of the practice. If you miss a day, pick up where you left off as soon as you're able.
They're optional but strongly recommended. Calls are held the first three Tuesdays of each month at 4:15 a.m., 7:15 a.m., and 4:15 p.m. Pacific. Each week, one session is recorded for those who can't attend live. You have access to the live calls for four months.
Yes. The essays, videos, Reflection Tracker, and your personal exercises are yours to keep, forever.
I can only speak directly to the heart, soul, and mind of men like me. And the conversations go deeper among men walking the same path.
No. There is no greater commitment you can make than a no-compromise commitment to receiving peace, and that decision is made before the experience begins. If you're not ready, read the essays and follow along until you are.
That's between you and your CPA. What I can tell you is that this is as much professional coaching as it is personal.
