In a world inundated with self-help gurus and life coaches, finding authentic guidance can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But amidst the noise, Dejan Davchevski emerges as a beacon of sincerity and practical wisdom. As the founder of Life Coach Code, Dejan’s journey from a student of International Marketing Management to a renowned life coach is a testament to the transformative power of learning, empathy, and genuine intention. Inspired by his newfound purpose and fueled by a desire to reach more people, Dejan conceived the idea of Life Coach Code—a digital platform aimed at disseminating life-changing insights and techniques to a global audience. “What is a better way of contacting more people than the internet?” he muses. “A lot of information will be available on LifeCoachCode.com, but the most important thing I want to share with you is the way of living I have learned. The code of life I discovered that brings happiness and success. And that’s just the beginning.” In this exclusive Mystic Mag‘s interview, we delve into Dejan’s philosophy, his approach to coaching, and the invaluable lessons he’s gleaned from his journey.
Can you tell us about your journey from studying International Marketing Management to becoming a life coach? How did your educational background influence your approach to life coaching?
I studied international marketing management in my country. However, that didn’t affect my decision to open a blog and start writing about certain things. I have always had a passion for writing, so I needed an outlet to share my thoughts and opinions. I had always wanted to start a blog, so I began with a free one, started writing, and then I found a program in my country about opening a website and earning money through it. It interested me, so I enrolled in the course and completed it. I then opened the website and began writing on it. Current life coach code started 12 1/2 years ago. In November, it will be 13 years. For the first three years, I didn’t earn anything, so it was just me writing and trying to find a way to monetize it and turn it into my business. After three years, we found some traction and ways to bring more traffic, and after five years, it became quite successful. However, I started feeling like I was losing touch with the real purpose of Life Coach Code, which was sharing about the four fundamental pillars: the spirit, the mind, the body, and the heart. So, we retraced our steps and started sharing again. We rebranded with a renewed purpose and got back on the path that we had started on. Now, Life Coach Code is a platform that focuses on the four fundamental pillars: the spirit, the mind, the body, and the heart. Each of the coaches we interview from around the world fits within one or a few, or maybe even all of these pillars, depending on their coaching and how they help people. Currently, Life Coach Code is launching Superhuman University, a subscription-level platform on the site where people can subscribe and access courses and lessons. They will receive new lessons and courses every month from the coaches who work with us and other coaches who join.
You mentioned feeling a transformation within yourself as you started helping others. Can you elaborate on how this process impacted you personally and professionally?
I need to go back a few years before I started my blog. I was in the USA, working as a lifeguard. One day, new parents arrived, and for some reason, I had a gut feeling that they might cause trouble. They had a little baby with them, and at one point, they turned their back. Suddenly, the baby jumped into the pool and started drowning. Thankfully, I spotted it and reacted swiftly. I jumped in and rescued the baby. It all happened within a matter of seconds, but in that moment, I felt that if I hadn’t been there, something truly awful could have occurred.
This incident really opened my eyes to the importance of being in the right place at the right time for others and offering help. It also gave me a profound sense of fulfillment that I hadn’t experienced before – the feeling of knowing you’ve made a difference in someone else’s life. It made me realize that when we extend a helping hand to others, we’re not only aiding them but also nurturing the compassionate part of ourselves that we recognize in them. By being empathetic towards others, we connect with the shared humanity that resides within each of us. When you ease someone else’s suffering, you’re also alleviating a fragment of humanity’s collective pain, thus aiding yourself in the process.
This understanding was somewhat intuitive at the time, not as clear-cut as it appears now. However, over the years, I’ve managed to articulate it better. That experience left a profound impact on me, and from that moment on, I felt a deep-seated desire to help others and contribute to alleviating suffering in the world in whatever way I could. It was this inspiration that led me to start Life Coach Code.
What type of services do you offer?
On our platform, we share knowledge about the spirit, mind, body, and heart. Regarding the spirit, we discuss spirituality and lessons learned from gurus along the journey, helping individuals find their purpose. This pillar focuses on guiding individuals in discovering and following their personal path.
Moving on to the mind pillar, we concentrate on mental strategies and techniques. Essentially, we explore how to harness the power of the incredible “supercomputer” within our minds and ensure it works for us rather than against us. This involves understanding psychology, managing attitudes, and controlling thoughts effectively to alleviate suffering.
The body pillar emphasizes health, nutrition, and exercise—essential components for maintaining a healthy body. This pillar serves as the foundation for the others; if neglected or compromised, it can adversely affect overall well-being.
Next, the heart pillar delves into motivation, inspiration, emotions, and relationships. We explore ways to improve relationships with oneself and others, fostering personal growth and fulfillment.
Additionally, the coaches collaborating with us align with these four pillars. This alignment ensures a comprehensive approach to addressing various aspects of personal development and well-being.
As part of our commitment to our readers, we provide these resources free of charge. Our aim is to offer valuable insights and guidance accessible to all.
Furthermore, as a service, we provide life coaches worldwide with opportunities for exposure through interviews. These interviews are archived in our database indefinitely, ensuring continued visibility and promotion.
In May, we will be launching a new service—the Superhuman University. And that’s EXACTLY what we teach in the Superhuman University, how to unlock these 4 superpowers from within each of these fundamental pillars. How to become a Superhuman! Apply here to join the Superhuman University now. This subscription-based platform on Life Coach Code will offer monthly courses, training sessions, and one-on-one coaching opportunities. This dynamic program will continuously evolve, featuring live events, content updates, and a wealth of resources to support personal growth and development.
In essence, Life Coach Code encapsulates a holistic approach to personal development, encompassing the spirit, mind, body, and heart pillars, and providing valuable resources and services to empower individuals on their journey toward fulfillment and success.
Your concept of the “code of life” and the idea of awakening one’s “superhuman nature” are intriguing. Could you explain more about these concepts and how they guide your coaching philosophy?
What I fundamentally believe, and what we uphold in Life Coach Code, is that each of us possesses four fundamental superpowers, so to speak. These superpowers are inherent within each of the four fundamental pillars: the spirit, the mind, the body, and the heart. Allow me to briefly delve into each one:
The spiritual superpower is essentially the ability to determine your own meaning and derive meaning from situations. It’s akin to having a magical sail on a ship; regardless of which way the wind blows, you can adjust the sail to propel yourself forward, towards your goals or desires. This involves attributing meaning to events or removing meaning from them and crafting your own narrative. Essentially, you’re not just the protagonist of your story, but also the author. Many people are unaware of this ability, yet it’s incredibly potent and lies at the core of spiritual teachings.
The mental superpower revolves around the untapped potential of our minds. We possess extraordinary “supercomputers” within our minds, yet we lack the user manual to utilize them fully. Often, we only scratch the surface, using them for basic tasks like calculations or simple creativity. However, by unlocking the user manual, we can unleash our minds’ full potential and navigate life more smoothly and effectively.
The body’s superpower lies in its role as the foundation for the other pillars. A healthy, strong body benefits all aspects of life. It enhances cognitive function, spiritual awareness, and emotional well-being. Moreover, the body possesses remarkable adaptability, always striving for balance and alignment with nature. By caring for our bodies, we not only enhance our quality of life but also extend our longevity.
The superpower of the heart is akin to a powerful fire. When harnessed effectively, it provides infinite strength and guidance. However, if left unchecked, it can wreak havoc and destruction. Learning to understand and harness our emotions equips us with a powerful internal compass, always pointing us in the right direction. Emotions serve as messengers, conveying important information about our needs and boundaries. By listening to and interpreting these messages, we can make informed choices and navigate life more effectively.
When we unlock and cultivate these four superpowers, we transcend ordinary existence and embrace a more superhuman experience of life. It’s a journey towards self-mastery and fulfillment, guided by the inherent potential within each of us.
With the proliferation of self-help resources online, what sets LifeCoachCode.com apart, and how do you ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the information you provide?
We thoroughly verify everything before posting it. We have our own fact-checkers, and we ensure that every post aligns with researched science. Our primary focus is on ensuring that there is tangible evidence supporting the claims made by the coaches we feature. Even if there is no existing research on their methods, we seek confirmation from individuals whose lives have been positively impacted. These individuals can attest to the effectiveness of the coaching they received. While spirituality holds precedence over science, in today’s structured world, our minds crave certainty and seek proof. Despite certain concepts lacking empirical evidence, they remain unrefuted, and there are individuals who have experienced their benefits firsthand. Therefore, our verification process involves three steps: firstly, we prioritize testimonials from those who have directly benefited from the coach’s methods. Secondly, we examine available research. Lastly, we ensure the authenticity of the coach’s claims by verifying that they are genuinely practicing what they preach.
