 All right, what's up, guys? This is Coach Ben from buildmysportsbiz.com. And today, I'm going to be sharing the number one problem that prevents coaches from starting their sports academy. So I don't care if you are a soccer coach, basketball coach, golf, tennis, lacrosse. Doesn't matter. I've had hundreds of conversations with coaches already. And when I talk to coaches who are on the edge, they're thinking about starting something but they haven't started yet. Maybe they haven't started for years. And they've had this idea. It's been itching at them about wanting to start something that they're passionate about. But for some reason, they just haven't pulled the trigger. And today, I want to show you what that is and how to overcome it. So the reason why you haven't started yet, it really comes all down to fear. You haven't overcome the fear yet of starting your business. And I will tell you, I was really scared when I started my first business. And you can go check it out. It's called Neighbors Soccer Academy. Some coaches have been asking over the last couple of videos, what is my actual business here in San Antonio. It's a private training academy for soccer players. And you can go check that out. You just go Google it. You'll see it. But before I started, I was super scared. And I was scared because I was afraid to fail. And a lot of people have that fear. I certainly had it. I would go to bed at night so frustrated with how my job was going. And I knew that I could keep thinking about starting my business, or I could just take action. And I had several talks with people who really made me think about, how did I want to spend my life? What is the quality of my life look like? And I started to think about more, what does my future look like? Do I want to keep doing something that I hate doing and waste away hours of time, hours of my life, doing something for someone that ultimately I don't care about? Or do I want to try to build something that I really care about, build something for kids where I can help them on a level that no other coaches could? And I had to overcome fear on my own. And now this is something that I'm helping a lot of coaches with. Because when I can understand that that's really the root of them not starting, it's not about just going all in with this business. It's about setting things up in small steps. And let's say you have a current job right now. If you have a current job, there's still always time to set up your business. There's time to market yourself. And I have seen this over and over again. With coaches who we've helped in our mastermind, I have seen coaches go from zero players. They have a full-time job. At the beginning, they say they don't have time. And then we start to figure out, how can we carve out time on the weekend? Or how can we carve out time on the weekdays at night to train players like little by little? And then over the course of like three to six months, they have enough players where they can finally transition away from the job that they hate into their actual business. Because at that point, they have enough momentum. And they're not worried about failing anymore because they have a proof of concept. And this is really key. When you have that proof of concept, you know that you can do this full-time. And the confidence is there. You're not worried anymore. So it's really important that if you are on the edge right now and you know that you should be helping kids out in private training, group training, whatever sport you're in, doesn't matter. If you have that feeling, you need to go after it. I'll be the first to tell you. I was the shyest person in the world when I started my business. And if someone like me could somehow be successful with training kids, and we've gone from zero kids and trained over 5,000 kids now. We've run camps all over the US. We have an online program. We're doing all this consulting now. If someone like me could do that, anybody can do it. And there's zero excuses. And that's really my approach. If I could do it, anybody can do it. And it really just comes down to being very persistent with what you want in your life. Because no one's going to give you anything. No one's going to just sit back and say, all right, 50 players that you can train now. And that's why I would say it's better to start this business from ground zero and have expectations. Know that it's going to be hard. But if you chip away at it daily and you start adding players in piece by piece, if you set a deadline of when you want to quit your job, you'll be able to do that if you're running your business the right way, which is what I show coaches how to do in our mastermind. And this is something I'm helping coaches with every single day. I carve out two to three hours every single day to talk with coaches personally. It doesn't matter what sport they're in. I help them lay down the foundation of their business. I show them how to get more players. I show them how to grow their business, scale their business, hire employees, hire contractors, open up a new location. Everything that you would want to do, that's what our mastermind is for. And I would love to chat with you to see if you're the right fit for our group. We're going to be opening up a couple new spots to be part of our mastermind. So if you are interested, it's very simple. I have an application process. I don't work with everybody. And right now, we have about a 20% acceptance rate. So out of every 10 people who I would talk to on the phone, two people maybe would be accepted. And I'm not looking to help hundreds of coaches in this. I don't have the time to do that. But if you are a coach who is serious about chasing your passion, you need help with the business side, right? I am the person who can't help you. I've already helped hundreds of coaches already.
