Right, there's two ways you can do that. The first way is in the description of this video, you'll find my calendar link, you can click on it and find all my available time slots that I have this week in order to schedule your free 15 to 20 minute call with me. Now, if you don't want to do that and you just want to send me a quick message, then you can do that as well by sending me an email to my email address. And that is makemoneycoachingsportsatgmail.com, right? So those are the two ways to get in contact with me. You want to talk about your coaching, training, business and you want to get your business to the next level or you might have an idea and you need some help getting started. I would love to help you and point you in the right direction. Share your tips that you can use this week to get started. So today I want to talk about what 97% of all soccer trainers in this industry are doing, which is hurting their business, right? And this is a video which is, it's a bit of a repeat from things that we've mentioned over and over again in previous videos on this channel, right? Now, for those that don't know, I work with business owners on a regular basis and also every single day I'm connecting with coaches and trainers who have training businesses in this industry. And I'm getting on these free 15, 20 minute calls with them and I'm asking them questions to see how they're operating their business. And what I've noticed is that 97% of all coaches and trainers are operating their business the exact same way, right? Now, the way most coaches are operating their business is a model which what we teach at our company, right, when a coach comes into our program, we teach them to step away from this model and into a more sustainable model that they can then grow their business long term, right? So 97% of coaches, what they're doing is they're running their business week by week. Now, what do I mean by that, right? Week by week means that they have a list of maybe 15 to 20 clients that they have on a WhatsApp group, right? So the coaches create a WhatsApp group with all the parents on there and what they'll do is every Sunday evening, they will send out a text message with the available time slots that they have for that week so that their clients can choose what day and time they wanna train. Now, every coach can run their business the way they want, right, what we do at our company, we show you better ways in order to run your business, but if you want to operate like that, that's completely fine, but what's going to happen long term is it's going to hurt you and your business. And the reason is because if you operate your business in the sense that you're sending available time slots every Sunday, then that means really that your clients aren't very committed to your program, okay? Because when you have more committed clients, you don't need to send them out or text message every single week, right? When you get clients more committed and typically what we do, we teach coaches how to get clients committed for three, six and 12 months, your clients know that this sit day sit time, you have the training session, right? You're gonna be working with their child, right? The parent knows that you're gonna be working with their child on that sit day sit time every single week for the next three to six to 12 months, right? So when you operate on a week to week, it means that if you have a contact list or a WhatsApp group of about 30 parents, right? And maybe one week you get 10 clients to train with you and your business is done really well, but in the following week, you might only have one available, then what starts to happen with your business is it becomes very unpredictable, right? You can't predict what incomes going to come in every single month, right? Some months you might do really well because clients are available, but then what about the time of the month or the time of the year, such as maybe Christmas in the summer, right? When parents are away and they can't train with you, right? Because if they can't train with you, you don't get paid. So what happens to your finances, right? You might, they might go up and then suddenly they take a massive, massive dip. And I've worked with a lot of coaches that don't want to shift from that model because they are scared that if they get their clients more committed, that not only do they have to commit to the client, but also they're scared that clients might say no to training with them going into the future, right? But the truth is if you want long-term success, number one, you need to get clients more committed to train with you and two, you need to be committed to your program and to your business, right? Because like I said, if you have 30 clients on a WhatsApp group, you send out the message this Sunday and no one is available, then ultimately you don't get paid, right? You've just lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars of income that if you had committed clients who pay upfront for three, six, 12 months, you wouldn't have to worry about not getting paid because you would have already been paid and now what happens is you put the responsibility on the client to make the effort to show up to your sessions because you've already been paid, they've already paid you. So all you have to do is you have to go into that session with the mindset that, right, I'm going to give 100% to this client. If they show up, it's their responsibility. If they don't, then it's down to them, but they've already paid for the session, right? When you give clients too much control in your business, which is the model that 97% of coaches currently operate, which is the WhatsApp group sending out the message on a Sunday evening, having parents respond, okay? When you give parents the responsibility or when you give parents the control to pick and choose when they train with you, right? You are giving them control of your business and ultimately really, I speak to a lot of coaches that say they have a business, but really they operate it more as a hobby rather than a business, right? A proper business does not operate with clients in control of when they get paid or when they train, okay? Right, so you have to shift that mindset and you've got to shift that model to say, right, these are the set days, set times that I'm going to be offering my training session. And if parents are available, great, if not, then they can't train with me, okay? And you want to be really strict and you want to be really firm with those set days, set times, okay? Because if you are, then ultimately, you are in control of your schedule, you are in control of the client, and if you're getting paid upfront, you are in control of your finances, right? If you want some more help on this on how to become a little bit more organized, I did air create a previous video on how to get more organized with your private training business. So go back on our channel and watch the previous video that I released. It's going to give you loads of tips, loads of strategies to get more organized and build a long, sustainable, long-term successful business. So if you want more help with this and you want to get in contact with me, right? I'd love to schedule a 315 to 20 minute call with you to talk about how to transition from that week to week model to where you get paid upfront for your services and you get your clients more committed so that you are in control and it's ultimately the client's responsibility to show up to the session. And if they don't, it's no big deal because you've already been paid for your time, okay? So thank you for watching. Again, a couple of things. Make sure one, you subscribe to the channel.
