 Hey, what's up coach? Welcome back to the channel. Now today I want to share my story about how I used to train anywhere between like 38 and 43 Sessions per week. I'm gonna show you what happened to me And I'm gonna show you a couple of solutions at the end of this video if you feel like you are Grinding it out doing sessions all week or all weekend I want to show you a more simple model at the end of this video But first I want to show and break down what happened to me during that year When I was just doing crazy amount of sessions, all right so first thing is When I was doing all those sessions obviously like financially you end up making a lot more money, right? because you're doing a set amount of sessions every single week and Back then I was charging everyone per month So a lot of those clients that I was working with it was all one-on-one training I had a couple of groups that I was training, but most I would say 90% Strictly one-on-one training so in order for me to grow my business back then it was Taking on more clients one-on-one. So I would make a good amount of money, but I had zero time I had zero time away from my business and ultimately what happened is I ended up feeling trapped I felt trapped because I was doing so many one-on-one sessions not just every week But every weekend too my weekends were jam-packed with sessions and I never had a break and when you never have a break as a coach you feel exhausted you feel drained and Honestly, you just don't feel good when you go into the next session because your energy level is low So that was the number one thing I found was the money was good, but had zero energy now The second thing that happened is I never Gave myself a chance to take a step back and actually work on my business It took me about a year to actually think through that and be like wow I need I need to spend time working on my business not just working in my business And what happened was I just got so wrapped up day to day and doing sessions and that just became my life It was you know wake up go do sessions take a little break go do more sessions and I didn't I never spent time Thinking about all right. Well, if I'm gonna grow this business, what do I need to do? You know, what are the steps I need to take to kind of take some steps away from doing all of these sessions and I spent an entire year Just doing session after session and never thinking ever about spending time on well How can I strategically grow my business? And this is a pretty common thing for a lot of coaches is because they're wrapped up in their sessions all week They're not thinking through well, how can I actually grow my business without after actually having to do The physical labor right so that is that was a big problem for me. It was I spent about a whole year Never thinking about how to actually grow the business I was just thinking all right I need to do more sessions more sessions more sessions and that was just the rhythm that I got into all right the third thing That I found in this this Ended up being a really big challenge for me It was any time I had a friend or someone that wanted to hang out. I Always said no, like I had zero personal life Zero and that was because I did it to myself I chose to do session after session and I chose to do 38 to 43 sessions per week. That was my call it was my business, but if I had to go back I would have changed it and I Lost friends during that period of time I didn't spend enough time with family as I should have and I suffered those consequences because of how I set my business up And that was 1,000 percent My fault right and if you are Training session after session and you have zero personal life That is going to happen to you if it hasn't happened to you yet It's going to and then you will feel burned out All right, so I had zero time to spend all my business I had zero time to to think through about you know, what are the next steps I should take And I was just caught up in doing session after session after session now What I realized after that year it was a couple of things it was well if I have other people that are helping me I Don't need to work 38 to 43 sessions per week So I started to bring on other trainers during that point and that's where I started to delegate the sessions So I bought back some free time. That's number one The second thing was once I started to think through all right. Well, how are we gonna maximize this business? I started realized well, this is not gonna be done if it's just purely one-on-one training and can you scale the business with one-on-one training? Yes, but you cannot do that if it's just you you have to have other bodies You have to have other people that can fulfill the sessions because you're just one person There's only 24 hours in a day and if you're training players privately, there's only so much you can do By yourself, right? So I started to think through all right. Well, if I have other bodies there, that's great But we need to start to transition into groups So we can train more players at one time and this way we can grow the client base and Trim down on the hours. So that was the second thing I started to figure out was all right Well, let's transition from one-on-one to group training and let's make private training the highest end option Let's make group training a little bit more affordable. So this way more clients will choose group training That should be the go-to option. That's exactly what happened because we we changed the price of one-on-one training Most of the families end up going into groups. All right, so that was the second thing and then the third thing This happened it didn't happen right away, but this happened over a couple of years I started realized well, I don't need to work on set days So I started to eventually take the weekends off completely. I went from training like probably 15 16 hours every weekend to zero and The way that I did that though it was because I transitioned A lot of my stuff into groups and I had other people that were doing the actual sessions for me instead of me doing everything by myself So that bought back a lot of time in my personal life All right, so those three changes were huge for me a lot of the coaches that we work with inside of our consulting program When they get their business to a point where they can bring on another coach What happens is they start to reduce Their time almost in half immediately With their workload as far as the actual day-to-day sessions because they have someone else that can do it Versus them just doing everything by themselves now some coaches I talked to they don't want to bring anyone on and that's fine You don't have to bring anyone on but what I would say is if you're stuck right now doing one-on-one sessions And you feel like the only way to make more money is by getting more one-on-one clients And if you do that you have to spend more and more time What you have to be able to do is you have to take a step back just like how I did and say you know what I Need to try to transition this into groups now when you do that It's crazy how much more time you're going to save and if you watch our channel We have a lot of videos we talk about group training we talk about the numbers we talk about How much more scalable that is so I encourage you to go watch some other videos we have on our channel But I see this happen a lot with coaches that strictly do one-on-one training they get burned out they hit a cap in their income and The only way they can end up doing more income is they just have to work more hours And then now they have zero time in their personal life and to me that defeats The purpose of having a business the same way it happened to me like I I realized that back then it took me a year to figure it out It shouldn't take you a year to figure it out if you're watching this video So hopefully you understand that and hopefully you don't get to the point that that I got to Because that was miserable and I wouldn't want any other coach to go through that So that's it for today's video.
