 Hey, what's up coach? Welcome back to the podcast now coming up. I'm changing the format of this show I'm gonna be posting all of these episodes on YouTube So if you listen on iTunes or Spotify or any major Podcast network, you can now watch these on YouTube. This is why I'm doing this now because a lot of coaches have sent me questions over the years and I know most of the time what I'll do is I Will use that and and create longer types of videos But what I'm looking to do this year is have five minute or less types of podcasts and videos here So you can get in you can get out You're not spending 45 minutes watching video to learn something and I want this to be something that really helps out Okay So if you have any questions if you want me to feature one of your questions on my on one of my episodes here All you have to do alright. It's very simple. Don't Comment on YouTube. I don't even check YouTube. I don't care about the comments on YouTube What I want you to do is text me text me at 2109605771 That's where I get all the coaches to message me at is you just text my number and I will probably feature one of your questions on an upcoming episode I already have a list here of all of the questions that I'm gonna be addressing over the next Probably year So if you like these types of episodes make sure and subscribe This way you get notified every time one of these episodes goes out now with that being said I will never have a long intro like that ever again. I'm just gonna cut straight into The questions and then we we get into it now the first question here and this is the question We're gonna be focusing on this is from a coach. He just started his business Think he started about three months ago. He has ten clients and he mentions to me. He says hey I have ten clients and there's eight of them that are paying and two of them owe me money right now What is you know, what should I do in this situation? Now, there's two things that we have to do number one If you're running a business and you have people that owe you money the first thing I want you to do is Go to your bathroom Flick the light on and look yourself in the mirror Right and ask yourself. Why did I let this relationship get to this point where they owe me money? Because at the end of the day, it starts with you. It's your business. It's not their fault and It's easy to think well It is their fault because they owe me money, but the problem is there's a miscommunication Issue here between you and your clients and there was no Set expectations when they joined your program, which means they are going to pay you whenever they want They're going to decide if they pay you and it's going to be your responsibility to have to You know run after them Like a dog every single day when you see them to see to see they can pay you Alright, and you don't want to chase people down for money That is a very annoying thing that you have to do as a business owner. Don't need to be doing that So stop doing that That's the first thing is look yourself in the mirror. Ask yourself. Why why did it get to this point? Second thing you need to do right and I'm not joking when I say this you need to just cut them out of your program All right, they owe you money. Why would you want to continue with them? All right, so pick up the phone today and call each of them and say hey Coming up. I'm moving in a different direction with my business. I'm not going to be able to train you guys anymore You know, if you would like to train with me in the future Here's how I'm going to be doing it and if you can abide by my rules not gonna be able to train All right, so essentially you're kicking them out of your program And you shouldn't have to feel bad about that because at the end of the day, you know There's a lot of trainers out there that are Brand new to business and they're trying to do it full-time hey You have to protect yourself If you're not protecting yourself, no one's gonna protect you All right, if you have a family to feed if if you're trying to do this full-time like If someone owes you money they owe you money and don't need to let it get to that point Look yourself in the mirror. All right and start cutting people Get them out of your business get them out of your life and start attracting people who do respect you and your time That's it for today's Podcast hopefully this helps you out.
