Episode 17 Show Notes
Today I’m interviewing Kerri Grace, owner of Grace Fitness and Nutrition. Level 2 crossfit coach, PN certified, and specializes in pregnant and post partum athleticism. We talk about how she went from just a concept to a business in just two months, how to set ourself boundaries in business, how to be in business with a little one, and how to get over “analysis paralysis” that so many entrepreneurs face!
Takeaways:
- Just because you don’t have a business background, does not mean you would be a bad entrepreneur.
- The feeling of thinking you’re not good enough never goes away. But people need what you have to offer. Don’t let the voice in your head keep you from showing the world what you have.
- You can work out being pregnant until the day you deliver! Kerri says that it helps with delivery, and really helps the recovery.
- Analysis Paralysis: Don’t get stuck in thinking your idea is worthless. DON’T sit on your ideas, let them grow and you will be amazed what happens.
- Time blocking is so important. Have boundaries like Kerri says. When you’re working, its okay! Don’t feel the “mom guilt”. Kerri works when her son is asleep, and sets out specific times to work, and specific time to spend that one on one time with him.
- You don’t have to set unrealistic expectations for yourself for working out. Don’t do ALL OR NOTHING! It can be as simple as a walk if you don’t have the time. But do something and you’ll see how much more energy you’ll have to give to your business.
