Who’s Jacob Dyke

Founder of Anchor Coaching, Jacob helps Christian entrepreneurs make faster, better decisions and execute without burning out. Think clarity of vision, ruthless prioritization, and steady follow-through.

Quick icebreakers

→Favorite books: The Lord of the Rings trilogy; runner-up: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

→Favorite movie: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

→One weird thing: Dressed as Moses to lead college game-day cheers in a student section called “The Red Sea.” Event security once tackled him mid-Moses.

Topics discussed on the show:

→Trust before tactics: Clients open up about fear, confusion, and resistance only when there is real trust. That honesty reveals the real blocker and the right next step.

→Vision before velocity: The hardest clients are not lazy. They are unclear. No clear where means no consistent how. Jacob helps them narrow options and commit.

→Isolation, overwhelm, burnout: Founders make constant decisions and carry the load alone. Jacob builds sustainable rhythms so productivity lasts beyond a short sprint.

Wins and sticking points

→Best student vibe: As soon as priorities are clear, they execute. Clarity plus bias to action equals rapid compounding progress.

→Where people get stuck: Action items stall when the goal is fuzzy, fear is unspoken, or the step was the coach’s idea. The fix is co-created steps, a smaller first move, or revisiting the vision.

Practical takeaways you can use this week

→Co-create next actions. Ask, “What feels like the single next step you choose to take?” Let them say it, size it, and schedule it.

→Run a vision check. If progress is stalling, revisit the outcome. Ask, “What would make this direction a clear yes or a no?”

→Decide by subtraction. In confusion, eliminate two options this week. Fewer choices create momentum.

→Install a feedback loop. Use start, stop, continue with your client or team after key actions.

→Right-size the schedule. Build a realistic week that protects deep work and family time.

→Accountability cadence. Confirm who, what, when, how you will know it is done.

→Breath and reset. Jacob’s micro-ritual for overwhelm: slow down, breathe, talk to God.

→Adopt his mantra: be slow to hurry, be quick to execute. Set direction with care, then move.

Building a coaching business, Jacob’s way

→Pick your people. He niched to Christian entrepreneurs so messaging and programs speak directly to real pains.

→Go where they are. Most content and conversations happen on LinkedIn, where his audience already hangs out.

→Iterate the message. Test, learn, refine. He chose depth over chasing every possible segment or format.

Soapbox moment: Be slow to hurry, quick to execute. Take the pause to aim your efforts, then commit and move. Sprinting is useful, not permanent. Sustainable pace wins.
