Eric shares his business coaching session within the "Contractor Circle," focusing on themes of client communication, sales strategies, and personal growth. The participants discuss overcoming technical difficulties at the start, share personal wins related to applying coaching principles, and plan for a future intensive session on vital business questions. A significant portion of today's show explores the idiom "leaving it on the table," interpreted in a business context as not fully capitalizing on opportunities or failing to understand client needs, contrasted with "leaving it on the field," emphasizing giving maximum effort. The session also includes role-playing a difficult price increase conversation and recommendations for resources on personality profiling (DISC and Enneagram) to improve team dynamics and client interactions.

  Key Takeaways:

• Continue learning and growing by actively seeking new information and applying it.
• Practice the power of the pause in conversations to allow for better understanding and reflection.
• Don't be afraid to make mistakes, as they are opportunities for learning and improvement.
• Share your goals with others to increase accountability and the likelihood of achieving them.
• Strive to understand different communication styles to improve your interactions with others.
