Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Coach G. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Coach , appreciate you joining us today. Are you happier as a business owner? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job?
I am happy as a business owner however yes, I have moments when I think wonder how much easier it would be to punch in & out at a regular job.
When I started my business my focus wasn’t on being a successful business owner however life circumstances changed for me & I had to jump into action to take my business from a “hobby” to supporting me financially.
The decision was easy as fitness is my life however the road has been challenging with long busy days while still managing a household. It is in those moments, flying out the house to get kiddos off to school then sitting in traffic trying to get to another appointment, that I often wonder what would it would be to have a regular job.
In reality, I KNOW what it would be like, I’d be miserable & still stressed because I wouldn’t not be living my purpose.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
When I started my business I knew not ONE soul in TX. I did one ad for $30 on IG for a class that catapulted me into sold out classes for months on end. At that moment I learned the magic of social media.
I’m no expert but I know what worked for me in my industry (fitness) and that’s pics & videos and more pics & videos…haha!
People love to see pics & videos of people having fun and they like to see this often. With that said, I was a posting fool . I didn’t care who was tired of seeing my post.
Keys to social media posts:
⚡️Ensure your product / service is clear
⚡️Create clean flyers; too much clutter
people will not read
⚡️Post pic & videos
⚡️Post often
Have you ever had to pivot?
This current year I had to make pivot from running a cool hang out spot that offered great fitness classes (my assessment of how I was running my business) to a business owner making hard calls to grow and protect my brand.
The pivot was daunting but I believe in my abilities and therefore invested in acquiring the guidance need to take Energy Shot Fitness from a “hobby” to a thriving business!
