CASE STUDIES
Rubicon helped me see that I was standing in the way of my own happiness.
After years of random dates with boys disguised as men and the occasional fling here and there, I was tired of the energy I was putting into it all only to end up right back where I started every time. Men were too much work. So I took myself out of the dating pool to refocus on my own growth.
Instead I was looking for advice on how to build my side business in finance and improve my health. Covid was in full swing and my career as a hairdresser was on hold. I came across a Rubicon video where Pat was talking about how multi-tasking makes you stupid. I was mind-blown and signed up for Rubicon after my intro call with Pat.
The first step in Rubicon is to get clear on your goals and put together your Merlin Plan. I was so resigned about it, finding love wasn’t even on my radar until others in the group started taking it on. I put it down on a whim, with a faint glimmer of hope, but still dreading the thought of it all.
Through our one-on-one coaching calls, Pat helped me get honest with myself about my desire to find love and to be in a meaningful, long-term relationship. He continued to challenge me to be in action, attaching a consequence if I failed to meet my sales milestone. My consequence? Go on three dates if I didn’t hit my sale goal.
Enter John, my consequence date…
I didn’t hit my goal that week. So when John called with his third attempt to ask me out, I had to say “Yes.” A friendly acquaintance of four years, I suddenly saw him differently. He wasn’t something to be tolerated. He was a handsome, wonderful, sweet and generous man.
We were engaged and married within the year. But falling in love was the easy part. Yet again, I got in my own way. I’d found my dream partner, but that level of vulnerability opened up huge trust issues from my past. We were engaged, yet I was looking for any opportunity to sabotage the relationship!
I’d start fights for no good reason. I was consumed with anger and jealousy, convinced he was going to hurt me. No matter how many times he told me he wasn’t going anywhere, I just couldn’t let myself believe it was possible. But working with Pat and my daily accountability partner gently forced me to hold up a mirror and see what I was doing.
I knew this wasn’t me. Wasn’t how I really felt. Pat knew what I needed to hear. He helped me see that I had a choice. I could let this consume me and ruin my relationship, or I could chose to see those emotions as just human reactions to something amazing and new. Over time those habitual reactions lessoned and I could just be present and love John with all my heart.
John went on to do Rubicon himself. Needless to say, when the time came to tie the knot, there was nobody else we would have officiate the ceremony. Pat Finn, the man who made this all possible. We are building a beautiful life together and are forever grateful to Pat Finn and Rubicon Results!!

Rubicon helped me take charge of my life and lose my debilitating anxiety.
When Rubicon came into my life, I felt as though I had lost my way with the 2020 quarantine. I felt stuck in my singing career and lacked the clarity and confidence to create the balance I knew I wanted. I wanted structure to organize my ideas, as well as my actions and disciplines. Anything that would help me focus on something other than my newfound anxiety.
Having a mastermind team allowed ideas to flow and a supportive vibe that only comes from a team. I found others who were going through similar things and found it exciting that we could contribute to each other. Being accountable to others made a big difference. I was far more apt to complete when I committed to do it to my team. And I now have lifelong, like-minded, powerful friends as a result of my participation.
The extraordinary personal coaching, team meetings, and buddy check-ins make the PERFECT combination! It's brilliant! I have literally reinvented myself during my Rubicon courses.
-
My singing career has taken on a new level as I had the confidence to do it on my terms.
-
I finally completed and published my first book with immediate sales and I'm on to my next book.
-
I started painting, completing over 50 pieces in my first 10-week Rubicon course. I went on to turn it into a business. I even designed my own website for it, which I did out of a weekly promise, knowing nothing about websites when I began.
-
When I started with Rubicon in 2020, I had anxiety I had never experienced before. By the end of the 10 weeks, I was anxiety-free and sleeping better than I had in months.
-
My relationship took some turns and through it, I gained the confidence to speak and stay in my own power.
-
Through my work in the Rubicon, my son saw all the positive changes and how happy it made me, taking on some of the distinctions I would share with him. When a teen Rubicon was made available, he participated and came out using the distinctions for himself in school and other areas in his life, making a significant difference to him too.
Pat Finn is one of the finest humans I have ever met. He lives to make a difference in people's lives. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate, wise, supportive, loving person whose goal in life is to see others succeed and reach their inherent greatness. Not only is he educated in having a person uncover what has been stopping them, he also listens like no one else, using his instincts and experience in human behavior.
The way he designed the Rubicon courses is succinct and powerful. It dives deep in a short amount of time, creating lasting results. The leap from where you have been to where you go in these courses can be unrecognizable, unpredictable, and remarkable!
His lifelong experience in coaching sets him and his Rubicon courses up to be one of the most profound, joyful, soulful, fulfilling, extraordinary things a person can treat themselves to. I'm literally creating things in my life I didn't even know were possible!
Thank you, Pat and my Rubicon family!! I am forever grateful!"

Rubicon helped me see that the peace and freedom I was looking for was already there.
Before Rubicon Results Coaching, I was a small business owner and single mom who was making the best of life yet was playing it safe going through the motions of what was familiar.
A dear friend referred me to Rubicon and while on my discovery call with Pat he recognized my indecisiveness and pushed me to make a commitment either way. I knew at that moment Rubicon and Pats coaching was what I needed to break out of my comfort zone.
Over my time with Rubicon some of my goals have been to create freedom in my life, travel and write a book, bring the “Create the Life You Love” planner into the world, as well as build my “Grow Your Soul” retreat and consulting business.
The weekly team meetings during Rubicon have provided a safe space to practice being my genuine self, to have open, honest communication and to use my voice. The one-on-one coaching is always a blessing for brainstorming business ideas or working through personal situations. Pat is great at helping to give a different perspective or angle on things that I may not have seen before. He is always wonderful about connecting Rubicon participants with one another to help support in whatever area we may be able to contribute to one another.
Having our weekly accountability partnerships keeps me in action and in daily practice, keeping my focus on my goals rather than just dealing with what life may throw my way. The structure of Rubicon and its distinctions plant seeds each week and as the week goes on the seeds grow. It is amazing how quick transformation can take place!
Through Rubicon I have discovered my voice and my leadership skills. I have found a peace within that I had been searching for in changing outer circumstances. Rubicon has provided the space for me to discover that this peace is within me and how I choose to be with life.
Here is a list of a few of the goals I have reached through Rubicon Results Coaching:
-
Listening to myself and realizing I was ready to sell my business of 14 years. Being in action around this and selling it within a very short span of time to a remarkable woman.
-
Paying off my home and becoming completely debt free!
-
Creating positive products, writing a book, and creating a podcast.
-
Diving into my health instead of avoiding it, bringing exercise and meditation into my daily routine.
-
Recreating myself in semi-retirement and starting a new women’s retreat and consulting business from the ground up.
These physical achievements have been extremely rewarding but the biggest takeaway from participating in Rubicon Results Coaching for me must be the genuine lifelong friendships. I now have friendships all over the world with people who are "up to stuff" and in action. I find it extremely refreshing to have like-minded people surrounding me that will call me out when I may start slipping into old patterns or ways.
I am so thankful for Pat and Rubicon Results Coaching and highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a change and live their best life.
