Podcast Description

If you won't show up for yourself, why should anyone else?

After four shop owners scheduled discovery calls and failed to show up in the same week, Coach Chris Cotton decided it was time for an honest conversation.

This isn't an episode about phone calls.

It's an episode about commitment.

In this tough-love edition of The Weekly Blitz, Chris challenges shop owners to stop making excuses, stop blaming coaching programs, and start taking ownership of the one thing they can control—themselves.

If you've ever said, "I'm too busy," this episode may be exactly what you need to hear.

In this episode you'll learn:

Why missing appointments is a symptom of a bigger leadership issue.
How "I'm too busy" often means your business is running you.
The guarantees every great coaching relationship should provide.
Why coaching only works when owners do the work.
The common denominator in failed coaching relationships.
Why commitment—not motivation—is the foundation of success.
How protecting your calendar protects your future.

Memorable Quotes

"Your business doesn't own itself. If it owns you, you've built a prison."
"The problem isn't that you've had three coaches. The common denominator in all three coaching relationships is the person you shave with every morning."
"Your coach can show you the path, but they can't walk it for you."
"Success isn't built on motivation. It's built on commitment."
"Your future isn't decided by the appointments you make. It's decided by the appointments you keep.
