let's get straight into today's video today's video is talking about how to stay organized right so if you are a football slash soccer trainer and you have a business I want to share with you three things that are going to help you to become more organized so you can dominate your day you can dominate your business stay on top of your business and just thrive and succeed in this type of industry now for those that don't know I work with soccer coaches and soccer trainers on a daily basis right and also I speak to coaches every single day that's one of my my main jobs here at our company is to connect and speak to coaches who are currently doing this and are in this industry and some of the most successful coaches that I've spoken to are actually coaches who are in our program here at Make Money Coaches Sports so what I want to do is I want to share with you three things that they do to become successful and you can take away the strategies the tips and implement it into your business right so the first thing to stay more organized and to become more successful is you need to make sure that everything you do in terms of payment with clients is all automated and online right so when you are functioning on a session to session basis which means parents are paying you cash in hand after every session that is a way of losing money because not only do you lose money in the sense that parents might not show up to your session but you also lose money because every single day you're gonna have money in your pocket and it's gonna be a temptation for you to spend it right so this is something I speak about in previous videos is when you have lots of money and if you you know some coaches do really well in one day and they make a lot of money doing back-to-back training sessions and if you got a big amount of cash in hand the likelihood is that one you might lose some of it you know you might be packing up your your session heading to the car and suddenly you you know you drop a little bit of that money or on the drive home you know you're tired you're exhausted and they might be in a temptation to go and blow that money on on something it might be on a restaurant it might be on alcohol it might be on anything else right so all your your your sweat or your hard work just gets blown in 10 minutes on the drive home because you're sitting on that on that cash and the temptation to spend it is so huge right so the most successful trainers that we work with have everything automated online so that way coaches are never feeling or touching or grab or taking hold of that money ever right it will all their their clients are doing is they're paying them online for their services and that money is getting transferred from the client straight into their business account which means the temptation to either lose or to spend gets smaller because ultimately you're not seeing that cash right everything is being done behind the scenes through an automated payment system right and that helps you with your finances because it keeps you up to trip like on track with what's going in what's coming out of your your business account but also you're not losing any cash right the worst thing you want to do is have a really good day where you're doing back-to-back sessions you're working really hard and then you go and lose all the money you worked hard for in that day right when you do everything automated and you have an online payment system that becomes not not a problem at all okay so the first thing is coaches the most successful trainers that are thriving at the moment in this industry are the ones that have everything automated and online right now the second thing that coaches in this industry are doing to stay successful is they have all their sessions set out on a set day and set time so this means that they're not operating on a sporadic basis right now what 97% of all football trainers are currently doing so football trainers soccer trainers in this industry what they do is they will text their clients on a Sunday and they will ask the clients what they are in this week you want to train now when you give your clients the authority when you give clients the choice then ultimately they dictate your schedule and if you want to stay organized with your business then you can't have clients dictate in what time day that you guys are training so the most successful all have a set day set time during the week that they are doing their training sessions now the reason why you also want to have that is because if you dedicate the set base set time during the week to work with your clients the time you are away from the field then you can commit to doing your marketing your your selling right getting on sales calls with clients doing your marketing creating social media content right just building your brand and building your business if you have your your business set up where it's sporadic where clients are are dictating what days during the week you guys are training then ultimately you're at their mercy right whenever they want to train then you go running and ultimately you're operating like a delivery person right so a client phones up your local dominoes they want a pizza right well and then you're there delivering that session right we don't want to operate like a delivery person we want to operate like a professional a soccer trainer that has a successful business that has a set day set time that they work with their clients now if your clients can't make it at that time then we can maybe look to be a bit more more lenient or find ways in order to accommodate them but what I want to encourage you to do is make sure you have a set day set time where you work with your clients so that that way you can make time to grow in the business right not working in the business but working on the business I see a lot of especially one-to-one trainers who just bring on more clients more clients and then it gets to a point where they're working with 34 clients per week and they've got no time during the week to do their sales calls to grow the business to work on the business to answer emails and ultimately all they're doing they're just training training training training training and you can't build a long-term business just being 24-7 on that on the pitch right you need to do the the work away from the pitch that's going to grow the business right the brand in the markets in the selling right the building partnerships around your local area speak into parents right growing your program okay because ultimately when you do when you when you're working with 34 your clients one-to-one per week that that eats up all your time and ultimately what I've seen with coaches is that when they're working that way they get so tired and burn out and that they've got no time during the week to actually grow the business right so what we want to do is we want to have a set they set time with clients where we as the trainer are telling our clients this is the day and this is the time that I do my training if this works then great if it doesn't then unfortunately we can't work together and you can't train with me okay so we want to be firm we want to be strict with our time and how we use our time right the third thing is and this one's a really good one this is something that a lot of coaches have started doing and it's got really really great results and it goes back to my second point but this is do all your training in one day of the week right so I remember when I first started my football academy what I did is I wanted to I wanted to to have clients train every single day and the reason why I wanted to do that and it sounds ridiculous really but I wanted to feel as though I was a full-time trainer okay and by feeling like I was a full-time trainer then I was coaching every single day but it got to a point where I I started to hate what I was doing because when when you're training and you're coaching takes up so much time in your day there's no there's no time to relax there's no time to actually enjoy things away from the sport which you need in order to to recover recharge your batteries and also I didn't have time to spend with my family because I was always on the pitch that was my focus at the time okay so what I did is I transitioned all my training to one day in the week right so all my one-to-one training was was done on on that specific day and all my group training was done on that specific day so any client any brand-new client that was contacting me to to work with me or inquiring about my services I would say to them right this is the set this is the day that I do my training and these are the available time slots we have now what I started to notice is that you know what I had more free time during the week to do my marketing to grow my social media presence to create content to speak to parents to connect with local schools you know and also I worked really really hard one day per week with my training with my clients and then the rest of it I was able to enjoy and do what I wanted to do away from coaching so and I wasn't trapped with my clients every single day Monday to Sunday right so essentially what I did I moved all my training on to Saturday and any new client that came to me I said to them right the training is on Saturday if you want one-to-one these are the time slots I have if we haven't got time slots then unfortunately we're going to have to put you on a waiting list right or you can jump into the group training that we have available so it was really easy because when I started to talk with parents and market my business I knew that right between 9 to 12 was all my group sessions so any client that wanted group training can jump into one of those groups and between one to three in the afternoon was my one-to-one sessions and if I was fully booked with those one-to-one sessions then I'd put all the clients on a waiting list and if an available slot came up then great if not then they just have to to go and train with someone else right so I had to be firm I had to be strict and organized with my time because I was slowly realizing that was getting burnt out and I was I was slowly hating what I was doing so I transitioned it all to one day which allowed me to get more organized and the business just ran a lot smoother because I knew that right this is my schedule these are the time slots that I have available can I fit this client in yes if I can then we put them on a waiting list okay so if you have any questions with regards to how to stay more organized how to build your business how to start how to grow right I want you to reach out to me as I mentioned at the beginning of the this video and as I mentioned on every single video is two ways you can reach out to me number one you can schedule a free 15 to 20 minute call with me where we can jump on a zoom call and I can answer some some of your questions that you might have I'll also ask you questions about your business or you can send me a direct email to make money coaching sports
