Interview Krista Crotty
Q: What is a personal favorite quote?
“When written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters. One represents danger. One represents opportunity.”
— John F Kennedy
“Stop complaining about the results you didn’t get, from the work you didn’t do.”
— Someone smart
Q: What is your favorite activity when you aren’t working?
A: Racing cars, driving on a closed circuit testing my skills, or simply being at the track supporting activities with race cars.
Q: What is your business or service?
- Business operational strategy & coaching – exposing blind spots; business and personal SWOT analysis; leadership and mindset trainings.
- Neuro Linguistics Programming (NLP) trainings, coaching sessions and workshops.
Q: When did you create your business?
A: November 2019, rebranding after 2 years not knowing what the brand should be… so technically October 2017
Q: What inspired you to start this specific business venture?
A: I was introduced to neuro-linguisting programming in early 2019 during what I thought was a sales training – to help me grow my sales pipeline.
During the training, I realized I was naturally good at helping people uncover their passions, super skills and turn those skills into money or profits in business and life. Turns out I had been doing it for years… so the transition to helping people as a business was built.
Q:What was important for you personally as you were building your business?
A: Harmony of family and business.
Q: What was important for you professionally as you were building your business?
A: Reconnecting with my passions and my abilities to connect people
Q: If you could give any new business owners advice during the first year of owning/starting their business, what would it be?
A: Invest in yourself – no one will invest in you, your business or opportunity, until you do. Surround yourself with people who support you and challenge you. Join a mastermind or group coaching program, hire a coach/strategist, outsource what you dislike doing in business.
Q:What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your specific clients?
A: I love seeing the successes and helping them learn from the lessons of failure. Failure is a part of learning. Once a client is able to learn a few lessons, the growth is amazing.
A: What is the biggest lesson you have learned about yourself since starting your business?
- We are a reflection of all things in our life – the bad and the good. We are continuously seeking completion – so always keep learning.
- The only time one fails is when one quits. Feedback is available each time the outcome is different that one wanted or expected.
Q: Where can our supporters find you?

- Mobile: 702-677-6923
- WhatsApp: 603-575-9077
Q: What does confidence mean to you?
- Being comfortable with yourself; moving beyond competence in a skill, knowledge or belief.
- In business: believing in what you’re offering to clients, knowing you’re the best at what you do and offering value beyond the “price” of.
