In this episode, I reflected on a question I stumbled upon while a guest was on one show. Listen to my revelation about my favorite part of the CRUSH formula.So, I created the CRUSH formula because I love a circumstance where you have a framework with it, with when to figure out what you're supposed to be doing. As a business owner, having a structure and a simple formula in place helped me keep my coaching on track and helped me ensure that my clients were getting the best results they could get when they had an opportunity to work with me.To tie it with that purpose, I created a group that works as a tool to help other entrepreneurs have a structure to help them achieve their business goals. I have started a profit school, and this formula is part of its curriculum.
