scale their own training business so I myself have been working with sports coaches for a while now every single day I'm connecting with coaches in all sports speaking to coaches helping coaches with their business interviewing coaches doing podcasts putting content out writing articles so this is pretty much what I do on a regular basis it's something that really passions me helping coaches with their business growing scaling and also helping coaches in all sports so today if you are a baseball coach then this video will really really help you okay so I want to talk about business mindset and how you can foster growth as a bit as a baseball coach with your training business so in order to develop a business mindset right you've got to go from being just a normal baseball coach to now developing entrepreneurial skills okay and entrepreneurial skills is a combination of many different things right it's a combination of learning how to market your product which is your coaching it's how to network how to build a brand how to speak with parents how to have a how to develop a sales process where parents are reaching out to you and you're putting them through a process where you then close them into becoming a paid client right so I want to share with you a couple of things that that is going to help you with your mindset as a baseball coach right and things that are going to help you shift from just simply being a baseball coach or a baseball trainer to now having that that entrepreneurial minds business mindset okay now the first one is value proposition right so when I talk about value proposition it basically means defining your coaching coaching philosophy so what is your coaching philosophy in baseball and what is something that sets you apart from other baseball trainers okay so you've got identify the value that you bring to athletes that you work with and that you bring to clients that that you bring into your business okay so when I work with baseball coaches I always say to them right what is some what is something that separates your coaching from everyone else right is it how you run your sessions is it how you communicate with players is it the end result in the sense that when players are going off the field they're developing that confidence and then they're succeeding off the field are they is your your coaching more skill specific right are you helping pitchers become more confident with their pitching if batters fielders right what is it that your coaching does that separates you from other trainers okay and when you identify your value this is what ultimately builds your business it because that is essentially your your coaching remember is your product when it comes to business so parents are purchasing or buying your product based on your philosophy okay so you've got to define what is your value proposition and what you do differently to everyone else right now the second one is brand building okay so brand building is how do you create a business brand that reflects your coaching style and your expertise okay and what platform are you going to use in order to create this branding so is so is it going to be social media is it going to be through your website is it through networking right what can you do to enhance your brand presence and build it to the point where parents can now define you for a certain thing right so this kind of goes back to the first point where it's when I'm talking about value proposition right so knowing what your value is knowing your coaching philosophy and how can we build a brand around your baseball coaching okay now the next one is networking right so networking is how is essentially growing the business how are we going to grow the business how are we going to build relationships with other coaches other baseball organizations in our area and influencers in our local area that have access to clients players parents that we want to help and coach right next one okay and this kind of this still sticks with networking but it goes with attending industry events right industry events workshops conferences so what are things that you're doing to build your network right essentially your network is your net worth so how ever much you build your network will indicate how much network net worth you have so attending baseball industry events keeping up to date with the latest trends what what is the latest trends in training what are parents purchasing what are teams doing okay attending workshops busy it could be business workshops to develop your business skills conferences and just expanding your network okay and the next one is financial management right so developing a budget and managing your finances your finances effectively now this is a common problem that a lot of baseball trainers that we work with have they are running so many baseball sessions or lessons per week that then they are not very good with the money they make a lot of a lot of trainers out there will do 30 to 40 to even 50 baseball lessons per week they'll make a lot of money but then they will be very bad with their finances right they will blow the money that they make they'll lose the money right and that's why when you develop a business mindset you develop your business skills this is essentially what's going to help you to become a better owner right so exploring the obviously again financial management exploring multiple revenue streams such as coaching fees introducing merchandise for your business and building business partnerships right so if
