Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Gregg Sealey, Founder of Gregg Sealey Coaching & Consulting LLC., located in Spokane, WA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a coach and consultant that specializes in healing conflicts. Sometimes that’s like being a fire extinguisher helping to put out fires. Sometimes I am like a thermostat turning down the temperature, and other times I’m like a surgeon suturing a wound to keep out foreign or destructive elements. With interpersonal conflict, this might seem obvious, but I also help heal conflicts that individuals or groups are having within themselves between the life they HAVE and the life they WANT (or meant to live).
Tell us about yourself
I love overcoming challenges, and I grab them and won’t let go until they’re utterly conquered. Because I am wired to overcome struggles by meeting challenges head-on, I began training for and competing in triathlons at the age of fifty, and I LOVE it! I love pushing myself and finding my perceived limits on the power of myself past those self-imposed boundaries. As a coach, I hope others tramp over their perceived limitations to get where they long to go. I feel exhilarated, proud, and powerful when I conquer challenges like this. I also love being a mysterious “adventure guide” that creates safe and sacred spaces.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment has been building my business with integrity and having it completely based on referrals and word-of-mouth advertising. I love serving people and having an impact on the world.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a business owner has been doing the internal work to overcome my own internal resistance and patterns in order to get my business to have the kind of impact that I knew it could have on the world.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be really clear about why you were starting the business, and make sure your reason aligns with your personal sense of purpose in the world.
- Surround yourself with good people. Make sure you have friends, coaches, counselors, tax and legal advisors, and anyone else who can help champion your vision.
- Develop a plan to pay attention to and attend to your own nervous system and reactions in order for you to learn and grow on this journey.
