Losing weight and running a profitable auto repair shop might sound
like two totally different worlds — but they have more in common than you think.
In this episode of the Weekly Blitz, Coach Chris Cotton celebrates a personal
milestone (30 pounds down!) while drawing powerful parallels between weight
loss and shop coaching. 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.”
