 Hey guys, it's Coach Ben from Soccer Entrepreneur, and in today's video, I'm going to be talking about the difference between a soccer trainer and a business owner, and how if you can combine those two, you can have mega success with your soccer training academy. So here's how it was for me when I was younger, when I was first starting, I just focused so much on soccer training and how I could help players get better, which if I didn't have that mindset, I wouldn't be here right now. So I had to have that mindset, I wanted to help as many players as I could. But what happened was, when I'm in the thick of my sessions, when I'm trying to train a lot of players, I'm not thinking clearly about what's happening over here to the business. And yes, you can be a great trainer, you can provide a lot of value, you can give great sessions, all of that is great. But you're going to hit a certain capacity on how many sessions you can actually do per day, how many players you can take on, and how you have everything structured based on your time. And so once I started to kind of take a step back and realize, okay, I have soccer training down, I know that I can help players, I know I'm good at that, I know that players are seeing great value, players are seeing great results. I need to take a step away from that for a second and think about what is happening over here with the business, like how much actual time am I spending every single week over the phone, how many, how many hours am I spending at the field. And once I started to figure out those things, I started to like really study business and figure out, okay, I'm spending way too many hours at the field right now, I'm spending way too many hours on the phone, spending way too many hours trying to do my website. And I started to cut away all of the little distractions that take a lot of people tons of time, like maybe years of figuring out. And once I sorted that out, like my business started to thrive because I took a step away from my training and learned, okay, how can I be more efficient with this? Like, am I charging monthly or am I charging by the hour? How am I collecting my payments? Like what messages are parents seeing on Facebook or through my email newsletter? And once I started to really dive into what's happening with the business, and I still kept the same level of my training and I still kept improving there. Then once I combined those things, that's where I felt my academy became unstoppable because this is the thing. There is a difference between knowing training and knowing business. If you only know business and you're not a good trainer, you'll never succeed. If you know training well and you understand business well, then you're going to succeed at a level that no one could ever compete with you because this is, this is like the raw facts. I've done so much research. I've had so many phone calls with other trainers. I know exactly what's going on in other cities and other states and I see what the biggest problems are. And it's not the lack of training or the lack of interest of wanting to help other players like most coaches I talk to have that. Everything that they lack is over here. It's on the business side. It's how to structure your business, how to set everything up to where you can start to automate your training. You can start to bring on more trainers. You have an automated website that collects leads. You have a sales process. And this is why I started my four week business accelerator program. And here's how I have it set up. I don't want you to go check out that page or anything right now. I would rather just talk to you over the phone and see if you're the right fit for that. Because I've had a couple people recently, they've gone through it. I know they weren't the right fit to go through that program. They did not put the work in and I'm not willing to spend my time to work with those people anymore. So what I want you to do is just simply go to soccerentrepreneur.com slash call. Once you get there, I'm gonna give you more information about that program and see if you're the actual right fit to work with me over the next four weeks. So we can really start and scale your business in a way where I can help you with the business side. And you can be the person who's committed to training. And once I can help you combine those things, I'm telling you, everything is a lot easier. And that's the whole purpose here at Soccer Entrepreneur. I create all the free videos here on YouTube, that's not gonna stop. I wanna continue giving advice.
