 Hey, what's up guys welcome back to the channel now? I just got back from training my academy players and I have a story that I wanted to to come on here and share with you guys Because if you've read the the title of this video, I know that it is going to To relate it can relate to you and it's something that is very common among football coaches and Pride is more specially for private football coaches in the UK that are operating a coaching business so I just got back from training and Where I train I train alongside a there's this one trainer there very very good trainer and And I see I see him every week right he's he's there every week from 8 a.m. through to Late in the evening and he's got back-to-back sessions training training training and working with his clients Some some some hour slots. He does one-to-one training Other hours he does a small groups So it varies but he tends to do all his sessions on a Saturday Now obviously working and coaching alongside him I've managed to to actually sit down and have a conversation with this coach and I found out a little bit about how he operates and What he kind of does within his business So I wanted to to to share with you guys a little little story about how Coaches in the UK are currently blowing or shall we say wasting their their money Once they get paid from clients. So for example, let me take this coach Now last week We were it was really really hot. We were sat down after one of these air Training sessions was done. He was there in the shade drinking drinking water So I was packing up I came over to him and I started as we do every week Just had started to have a little conversation about how his business is doing how, you know, how How working with his clients is going etc. You know that that that Small talk that you have with when you come across a coach or or someone that you see When you're out and about So I started talking to this to this coach and he told me a really really interesting story and It left a really strong message That I thought, you know what I? Want to share this with our audience, right? So if you are a coach that that consistently watches our content, whether it be a Ben's Videos or whether it be my videos or the podcast, right? This story might resonate with you or if it's not resonate with you might resonate with you But it might be happening to someone that you know So last week I spoke to this to this coach We got talking and I Said to him, right. So how how did you do like how did you do? With your with your business last week and he said to me said Leo, do you know what? Like I had a really really good weekend. I made About 300 pounds that weekend and working with clients So I said, you know what that's that's really good. Like any any coach in the UK would Would be over the moon about making 300 pounds in one weekend Now, obviously he works really hard. He's out Monday. He's out on Saturday and Sunday morning 8 a.m. Through to late in the evening back-to-back sessions. I think he might have a mini break in between So I said to him, okay, like how many sessions did you do? so Between Saturday and Sunday of that weekend where this coach made 300 pounds He He did 20 Private training sessions right in that week in that weekend alone. So he was out from From 8 30 to about 9 o'clock at night Back-to-back sessions, right? He done some on Saturday and he did some on Sunday So I said to him, I said man that like that's a really good weekend. I Said that that is, you know, most coaches Would love to to have that week type of weekend and There was a few things he said to me So his response was he wasn't over the moon about doing it Because it came with a lot of sacrifice in the sense that he had to be out from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Doing sessions, right? So he didn't go home at all During that time that he was out, right? So he said by the end of Sunday. I was completely dead I didn't want to move. I was extremely tired dehydrated and I had a massive headache from being outside exposed to the Sun and Also, it becomes mentally draining where when you're working back-to-back sessions And in some cases, you're you're repeating Sessions because this is something a lot of trainers do when they work with different types of clients. They tend to repeat Training sessions. So he was saying that yeah, it was Tiring I felt burnt out, you know, I was sunburned dehydrated and really mentally fatigued due to the repetition of the sessions Right now my message here wasn't that bit, right? My message here is the next bit. He said and the next bit he said was when he got home That Sunday evening, right and it wasn't even when he got home on the way home right he stopped off and He pretty much blew Half of his money that he just made right so on the way home He he stopped off at a friend's house, right? And this this is a story that he told me himself, right? So I'm only going With what that that coach told me, okay? So he told me that after the session he packed up got in the car Went to a couple of his friends houses Obviously he told them about how he had a great weekend, you know, he made 300 pounds and just training coaching kids and Pretty much he invited all of his friends out for a meal so they went to a Restaurant that is not too far from where I live, right? Because this coach is quite local to my area and And he bought a meal for himself and two of his friends. So out of that a meal, right, he obviously Went to the most expensive restaurant. He pretty much got a the most expensive Meal on that menu and obviously because he was paying his other friends kind of took advantage and Ordered pretty much what they wanted and the most expensive things on that menu now something he was telling me was that When he got the restaurant he looked at the receipt because he wasn't really paying attention to When when he paid at the restaurant. So he said he said to me Leo like I came out of that restaurant And I looked to the receipt and and it came to a hundred and ten pounds Right now mind you I I believe that because the restaurant that he went to is very expensive, right it's very expensive and You know per head you're you're easily going to spend between 30 to 50 pounds All right for a full course meal So he obviously invited his friends his two friends him To three full course meals came to a hundred and ten pound. So out of that three hundred. He's already blown a hundred and ten pound Away home. He said right here. We stopped off for for a couple of beers So they bought a few crater crater beers obviously three of them and That total came to about 20 pound right so that's another 20 pound blown from the three hundred So once he got home Right, they started to drink beer. They were they were hanging out and probably playing PlayStation. Okay, just just you know hanging out as as friends and One of his friends said oh, do you know what I feel a feel a bit package. I feel a bit hungry. So The code said, okay, do you know what let's let's get something so there we go. They go and they order another another meal Right, and they ordered it obviously through one of the the the apps. It was either a delivery or a Justy or one of those so that that came to another 30 pounds he was telling me So in total already he's blown 150 pound in one day on Pretty much just rubbish. Okay restaurant a takeaway beer and Pretty much what was left over he was telling me from that 300 Was about 120 pounds Okay. Now again, this was a story that that coach told me Okay, he went into quite a lot of detail and it's funny because when when people start to lose money They start to tell you the reality of of what they actually start spending money on so What I wanted to do is I want to come on here and just share this story because it's a really important one And it's something that a lot of football coaches that have coaching businesses that work really hard on the weekend with their clients They they do really well, you know financially they do really well They they have a good Saturday or they have a good Sunday. They make money and then from the field or from the pitch onto the drive home They they blow it right they waste that money that they earn right and there's a couple of reasons number one was Pretty much this coach that I told you the story. He got his 300 or cash in hand Okay, now something I always encourage coaches to do is to try and transition from that cash in hand into a more online System and the reason is because if I'm a coach, right if I'm that trainer I've been out on the pitch at on the field from 8 a.m. To 8 p.m Saturday and Sunday. I've worked really hard. I've made 300 pounds all cash The temptation to spend that Before I put it into my account is very very high right now mind you banks in the UK don't typically open on Saturday and Sunday right some banks might open a half day on a Saturday But normally what football coaches are doing is they're out on the field and working with clients so Saturday and Sunday, you're gonna be walking around in your wallet with that that cash and The temptation to spend it on silly and stupid things is really really high So what happens is by the time we get to Monday Where you have to put that money into your either your business account or your personal account depending on how you you operate your business Right, you've probably spent half of what you've made that weekend Okay, so if you haven't already go back to some of the videos that I've talked about these topics on how to transition from from cash in hand into an online system Where you are getting paid away from the pitch Which means you're not getting cash in hand where which means you're not losing your money Okay, because not not just only can you waste it on stupid things? But you can also lose it at the field and I've spoken to a lot of coaches that I've done had a really good day And then it gets to the end of the day and they they realized y'all where's my money? And he either got blown away or they lost it from walking to the pitch to their car And that's it. That's all your hard work gone For nothing. Okay, so if this is something that Resonates with you, right? If you are operating your business this way and you think to yourself Do you know what I need to step away from this? Okay?
