After 24 years in the Navy and 14 more as a government contractor, Les Britt discovered his true calling: coaching others to build lives of purpose and legacy.
In this episode of Coach as Entrepreneur, Les shares his journey from military service to entrepreneurial freedom, and how he helps clients transform through three core pillars: vision, mindset, and strategy.
We dive into:
- How coaching found him (and why every coach needs a coach)
- Overcoming introversion to build a coaching business
- The power of "getting comfortable being uncomfortable"
- Why failure isn't fatal—it's part of the process
- How one client's transformation brought them both to tears
- Why he caps his roster at 12 clients to prioritize family and freedom
- Building a coaching practice through relationships, not just social media
Whether you're a coach building your business or someone exploring what coaching can do, this conversation will challenge how you think about success, legacy, and what it means to truly serve others.
