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!

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 a...

Hey Gritty Friends!
Thank you for stopping by to listen. This episode is all about getting to the POINT. What point? The really specific goal you have that you want to achieve. With busy brains, we often multitask. This is actual counter-productive. Contrary to what we have always been told. It takes more time to switch gears back n forth on topics than it does to actually complete one task and then move to another.
