 All right, if you struggle with burnout, you feel fatigued, too tired, you feel like you're doing way too many sessions in your business, please watch this video. I think this is gonna save you thousands of hours of time in the future and this could potentially change the outcome of your business over the next year slash 10 years. All right, welcome back. So a lot of coaches ask me all the time, they'll say, Ben, I feel too burned out, I feel like I'm just running myself in the ground, doing way too many sessions. And here's the thing, I've already done that in my business. If you have done any research on this channel, you probably know, like I used to run 37 to 43 sessions per week, every week. On Sundays I'd work from like 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. straight, no break, right? And back then I was doing a lot of one-on-one training. And the first thing I always ask coaches when they come to me and they're like, well, I feel too burned out, I feel tired, feel like I don't have any energy, I always ask them, well, how do you have your business set up? And most of the time it's coaches that are either, A, they're running too many private training sessions, or B, they have too many groups that they work with. All right? So these are two different problems here. I'll talk about both of them. So if you're doing too many one-on-one sessions, then what you can do to really like, if you wanted to cut half the amount of time that you're working right now, like let's say you're doing 40 sessions a week and you wanted to cut it to 20, then you tell all your clients, starting in 30 days from now, that you're going to be pairing each client with someone else that's at their level. And you can go from 40 hours per week to 20 hours per week. And whether you charge less or you charge the same, that's your call, it's your business, all right? But doing that, like you could do that and instantly take half the amount of hours off of what you're currently doing right now, all right? So that's something you could do, or you could just radically change it and say, yeah, we're gonna be doing groups of six. And I mean, you can go and sit there with a notepad and do the numbers on how many hours you would actually save per month. I mean, it's unreal when you actually look at the numbers if you move into group training, like six or eight clients per session. So that's the first scenario. There's too many one-on-one sessions. You're gonna get tired, you're gonna get burned out. There's a short, and I kind of look at it like the same way with NFL players. Like NFL players, I think the average NFL player is like stays in the league for like three years, two or three years, something like that before they get hurt. With coaches that do training, if you do one-on-one training for more than three years, I am shocked if you're doing it at a high level consistently, hours and hours and hours every week. Like it takes a toll on your body. And ultimately that affects the quality of training because if you have low energy at your sessions, your clients can read off of that. Like they can feel it, right? Long term, they're not gonna wanna be with you if you're too tired, if you're moping around at the session. So you can cut your hours by transitioning group training. If you don't know how to do that, you want more help, reach out to me. Like I do this every single day with coaches that I help. We transition their business from one-on-one to groups. And the second problem we talked about is a coach who has too many groups. So you might have like 12 to 15 groups that you're training, and you have a lot of clients that you're working with. Well, one of the first things that I would look at is is your group training program run like a machine? And what I mean by that is like on the hour, every hour, on the days that you wanna train, how filled up are those groups? Do you have a group of two over here, a group of seven over here, a group of three over here? How is it being operated? So only I would be able to know that if I get on a call with you and we look at it. But a lot of coaches that even run group training also get burned out because they're doing too many different groups. They're everywhere all the time. And it's just going to take a toll on their energy because they have too much going on over the course of the week. Now, I think the most optimal setup for any coach I've ever worked with, it's this. First, we determine how many hours of training they want to do per week. That's the first thing that we do. So we find the sweet spot. Well, what is that for you? That could be five hours a week. That could be 10 hours a week. That could even be 20 hours a week. I don't know. I'm not you. I'm just getting you to think about this. Then we try to figure out, well, can this coach hire someone to go do those hours? Or are they going to be doing them? So they're going to hire someone. Then we need to teach that person how to coach the kids, how to do training with the same philosophy, the same drills, like whatever it is. We try to duplicate that coach's brain into someone else so they can go do it. This way, the coach can be a business owner, not just a coach and a trainer. And then from there, it comes down to, well, if we have the systems in place, then how can we take any new client that ever ends up joining our program and put them into a group that already exists? So this way, when someone joins the program, this coach is not working more hours. And if you're doing one-on-one training right now, the only way you can make more money is if someone new joins your program. Well, guess what? If you train them once a week, now you're training four more hours per month than you were last month, so you're working more hours instead of putting them in a system. So that's the difference, right? And the most successful coaches I have ever worked with over the last five, six years, they have these systems. When someone joins, they're not working harder with that client. They're putting them into a system, that system works. Whether it's a system with assistant coaches or it's with that specific coach, it doesn't matter, right? And at the end of the day, your workload is always determined by you. You are the business owner. If you get stuck in one-on-one training, that's on you. You can change that. You can decide to switch that. The same way I did multiple years ago and the same way multiple, hundreds of coaches at this point that I work with, they end up making that change too, all right? So I hope that makes sense. I hope it's clear. If you're getting burned out, that's on you. You can change it, but you need to change it. If you wanna have a lot of energy at your sessions, you wanna have a greater impact as a coach and as a mentor. Doing that in a group setting is the way to do it, right? And doing one-on-one for the rest of your life, it can absolutely work if that's what you're into, but you'll run into a scaling problem, all right? That's just the reality. There's no way of hiding from that, all right? It's good that I tell you the reality and try to tell you the truth versus trying to say, yeah, do one-on-one training. That's gonna be the way you grow your business. No, it's not. That's gonna be the way to be the most tired at the end of every week for the rest of your life. All right, hope this helps and it looks like it's about to tornado outside. So I gotta go and I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you soon.
