Constructing a grounded coaching business can feel almost inconceivable in a web-based world stuffed with “millionaire in three months” guarantees. For those who’ve ever felt turned off by hype and wanted an actual, sustainable path as a substitute, Erin Treacy’s story will feel refreshingly familiar.
For those who’ve spent any time in the net business world, you’ve seen the guarantees:
“Make $70,000 every week.”
“Work 5 hours every week from the beach.”
“Hit one million in 3 months.”
And for those who’re anything like me, you’ve also felt that quiet eye roll… because you would like real results, built on real work, in a way that truly feels aligned.
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Erin Treacy, one in all our newest Profession Coach Certification grads. 🎓
Erin is the right example of what happens whenever you ditch the hype and construct a grounded coaching business with clarity, trust, and consistent motion.
Meet Erin Treacy 🎓 From Restaurant Owner to Coach
Erin didn’t come into coaching as a complete newbie.
She grew up in family businesses and later owned and managed several restaurant locations. She understood leadership. She understood people. She understood profit and loss statements.
As Erin shared, those “dinner table leadership lessons” were just a part of her on a regular basis life.
But here’s what she didn’t know:
translate all that real-world business experience into a training business that truly works… and scales.
Because “selling the day by day special” may be very different than having a trust-based conversation that leads someone to take a position in coaching.
That’s where she wanted support.
Erin’s journey shows that a grounded coaching business is built through trust, consistent motion, and real conversations, not hype or shortcuts.
Why Erin Selected Classy Profession Girl
When Erin began researching coaching programs, she saw what all of us see: 100 different directions, loads of noise, and way too many big guarantees.
And he or she made a choice that I need every future coach to listen to:
1) She didn’t want “get wealthy quick” fluff
Erin said it perfectly: she wasn’t on the lookout for someone to vow her one million dollars in three months while working from Hawaii.
She wanted the reality.
She wanted a program that may help her construct something sustainable, with real foundations.
2) The “trust factor” mattered
One thing Erin noticed early on was how many individuals were continuously pitching.
She paid attention to what felt grounded, helpful, and real.
And that’s what she experienced with Classy Profession Girl: trust points, real guidance, and a transparent path forward.
Not pressure. Not hype. Not smoke and mirrors.
3) She desired to take motion fast
Erin didn’t want to sit down in learning mode perpetually.
She desired to move.
And he or she did.
The truth is, Erin began talking to people immediately, doing practice coaching, and signing clients before she even hit graduation.
Since the goal isn’t to “feel ready.”
The goal is to construct momentum.
“Good Nerves” Are a Sign You’re Growing
One in all my favorite quotes from Erin got here once we talked about doubt.
She said:
“For those who don’t have a bit little bit of nerves, you’re possibly not doing something that’s pushing you adequate.” — Erin Treacy
YES.
For those who’ve felt nervous to begin coaching, to place yourself on the market, to have your first paid conversation… you’re not broken.
You’re growing.
Those are the great nerves.
What Actually Helped Erin Construct a Grounded Coaching Business
Erin got here in with business experience, but she needed to learn what a training business requires:
✅ A brand new method to “sell” (without selling)
In her words, coaching isn’t about pitching the “best steak you’ve ever eaten.”
It’s about constructing trust.
It’s about conversations.
It’s about helping someone solve the actual problem they’re facing, and alluring them right into a next step that is smart.
✅ A transparent foundation she could plug into
Erin shared that with no program like this, she would’ve still been piecing things together, attempting to work out what to do next.
As an alternative, she got a process and a roadmap, after which customized it to suit her voice and her strengths.
✅ A small community that made it easier
She also talked about how invaluable it was to have a small group of girls in Slack—people she could actually get to know—plus alumni who got here back and shared what worked for them.
Coaching can feel lonely for those who attempt to figure it out by yourself.
It gets an entire lot easier when you might have support.
Erin’s Coaching Focus (and Where to Find Her)
Erin focuses on leadership development, communication, emotional intelligence, and helping people lead teams with confidence.
And I loved what she said:
If people come to you for help, you’re a pacesetter.
(Yes… even for those who’re a band parent, a team coordinator, a manager, or the go-to friend everyone asks for advice.)
You’ll find Erin online at Coach Erin Treacy (T-R-E-A-C-Y) on Facebook/Instagram/TikTok, and on LinkedIn as Erin Treacy.
