THE GRITTY COACH - Accountability Strategies for Entrepreneurs
Hey Gritty Friend! Starting or Taking your business to the next level can be challenging without stress, anxiety, fears, lack of focus and clarity much less adding all these together. If you are feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, stuck with obstacle after obstacle and you have the grit to hear how to make changes, then you are in the right place. Hi! My name is Erika and I am super excited you are here for some gritty advice where I focus on helping CEOs and Coaches increase their client’s results by implementing accountability strategies and increasing lifetime value, client retention, and ascension. The grit is the resiliency to do what is necessary to succeed even when the first try didn’t work. I remember feeling all of these not just in my business but in life! Military life included very long days and then to come home to 3 jobs (wife, mom, and side job) was exhausting and demanding. I was waking up at night remembering all the things I had forgotten to do that day or I would wake up with great ideas and then not want to sleep just so I wouldn’t forget what I thought of. I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Now, I have been gritty, through grit, and received the grittiest of advice. During my early time in the military, I had financial problems, focus problems, relationship issues and was told by a leader that my life “was like the fog of war” and I needed to focus on the road ahead of me while tuning out all the bullsh*t in the woods. I thought this Marine was crazy but years later his words were much wiser than I had thought in my early 20s. So as a Navy veteran, a wife of a veteran, a mom, a boy mom, a twin mom, and fur mom, I have learned how to create specific goals with a plan, hold myself accountable to do the work while balancing work and home. I am excited to share my strategies to help your client’s get specific on the goals they want to achieve, chat about self-management (not time management), set deadlines, and learn how to limit those good idea fairies to actually get sh*t done. To be successful, we need a positive mindset and a business strategy to make big changes happen! Why not do this together? The big question - Are you gritty enough to handle it? Let’s see!

Welcome Gritty Friend,
Today we are talking about breaking free from perfectionism. Taking imperfect action is crucial for personal and professional growth because it allows you to overcome fear and make progress towards your goals. Perfectionism can be a hindrance to success, causing procrastination and a lack of motivation. By embracing imperfect action, you can break through these obstacles and make real progress.

In short, taking imperfect action is essential for overcoming fear, unlocking potential, and living a more fulfilling life.
Get ready to learn how to overcome your fears and take action towards your dreams, imperfections and all.

Welcome Gritty Friend!
Great! You have a business, your program has been created, and you now have clients. You loaded all the content but you start to notice they aren't seeing results, you are overwhelmed, and not able to keep up with the demand.
The truth is that your program is generally not the problem. There might be some gaps but honestly you are so invested in the weeds of your business that you can't see them. The gritty truth....You are the problem. I mean that in the nicest way possible. However, you are feeling overwhelmed with all you have promised that you can't help everyone as you thought. This is hurting client results.
So now what? Well come take a listen as we talk about how to get them results and you doing what you need to do as the coach.

Welcome Gritty Friend!
Seasoned business owners will tell you that they have had to frequently review their goals and their metrics to see if where they are wanting to go is where the current path is leading them. Sometimes it isn't. That is when they will evaluate what is going right, wrong, and what no longer aligns with where they see their future.
Pivoting isn't a sign that a business is failing. In fact, it is you actually paying attention and doing something before the titanic sinks. You saw the signs and you listened. You steered the ship out of the pathway of disaster.
Today's episode focuses on just this. Recognizing when it is time to pivot and how to do it successfully. There is definitely a wrong way to pivot. I have used these strategies both for myself and for clients. As I have pivoted in my business, I felt discussing this and how to do it could be useful for others. So check it out!

Hey Gritty Friend, Welcome Back.
I was practicing giving myself grace that I could not record episodes over the last 3 weeks due to moving our family. I am thankful you are here and hope that you find this episode to help you in learning to give yourself grace.
Everything in life is a balance. We strive to be as close to balance as we can. There is also a balance between Grit and Grace. We need to be gritty. We need to have resilience to take on the challenges and keep going. However, there is a point at which you need to give yourself grace. These happen when you have been TOOOOO Gritty. Giving yourself grace can almost be as difficult as being gritty.
So how do you begin to give yourself grace? That is what we are talking about today: What does it look like when its time to give yourself grace and how to do it! Remember this requires practice. It requires you to admit that you have been too gritty. It's a gut check that you need to rebalance the scales cause one side has tipped too far.
Come join me as I give you the strategies to help.
