From defining what a win really looks like, to trusting ​the process, to pushing through plateaus — you’ll discover why small, ​consistent changes create the biggest results. Whether you’re working on your​ health or your business, this episode will inspire you to focus on the ounces,​ because that’s how you win the pounds and the profits.​​What you’ll learn in this episode:Why small wins (ounces lost or percentage-point KPI gains) matter more than big, flashy goals.How the start-up phase of both journeys requires investment in tools, systems, and trust.The importance of trusting the process and leaning on your coach’s expertise.How to handle plateaus — whether on the scale or in your shop’s sales.Why accountability and consistency always beat quick fixes.The connection between scales and KPIs — and why both never lie.Coach Chris’s personal story of hitting a 30-pound weight loss milestone, and what that means for shop owners everywhere.Coach’s Challenge for Listeners:This week, identify your “ounce-sized win.”If you’re working on your health: skip one soda, walk 10 extra minutes, or go to bed earlier.If you’re working on your shop: track a KPI you’ve been ignoring, raise your ARO by $20, or complete one extra DVI per day.Closing Thought:“Whether it’s pounds or profits, the process works if you work it.”Connect with Chris:AutoFix-Auto Shop Coachingwww.autoshopcoaching.comwww.aftermarketradionetwork.com 940-400-1008Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AutoFixAutoShopCoachingYouTube: https://bit.ly/3ClX0aeEmail Chris: chris@autofixsos.comThe Aftermarket Radio NetworkRemarkable Results Radio Podcast with Carm Capriotto: Advancing the Aftermarket by Facilitating Wisdom Through Story Telling and Open DiscussionDiagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z with Matt Fanslow: From Diagnostics to Metallica and Mental Health, Matt Fanslow is Lifting the Hood on Life.The Auto Repair Marketing Podcast with Kim and Brian Walker: Marketing Experts Brian & Kim..."},"annotations":[],"speakers":[{"id":"s1","name":"Chris Cotton","role":"host"}],"transcripts":[{"url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/losing-pounds-gaining-profits-why-weight-loss-and-auto-shop-coaching-are-the-same-e228/transcript.vtt","type":"text/vtt"}]}
