Expectations While Working With Steven:

Be transparent. Mistakes and setbacks will occur. Be honest and transparent so I can help guide you back on track and navigate to avoid those mistakes in the future. Honesty leads to progress.

Communication is key. I can’t help with what I don’t know. Since I’m not coaching you in person, things can sometimes be missed or misinterpreted. That’s why it’s so important for us to maintain open and effective communication. The stronger our communication, the stronger our coaching relationship—and the better your results will be.

Please be sure to follow the check-in guidelines and submit your check-ins on time each week. Submit your check-in form to me on time every week by 10am ET on Tuesday morning. Make sure that all of your Google Sheets are filled out when you submit your check-in. Those who show up weekly are the ones who experience the most progress.

Ask questions frequently. One of my primary goals while we work together is to educate you. The more questions you ask, the more you’ll learn—and the more trust we’ll build. I’m an open book, so don’t hesitate to ask anything. I won’t sugarcoat things; I’ll always give you honest, straightforward answers.

Be positive. This lifestyle journey is your decision. Don’t look at this coaching program as punishment. See it as a needed lifestyle change for the better. Remove expectations. Trust the process, put in the work and results will follow.
