How can processes and systems take your business from struggling to succeeding and soaring incomes with ease?
Is it really true that you can set your income on autopilot?
Let’s delve deep into all these and more processes-related questions that coaches, just like yourself, ask me all.the.time. And I mean ALL the time.
See, here’s the thing…
When you became a coach, it was your dream and passion to help others gain clarity, find purpose, move forward, experience success, savor the sweet joys that life and work have to offer.
You never, for a moment, imagined that you’d be struggling yourself. Struggling to keep tabs on client appointments, payment schedules and plans, hiring, training and paying team members, following up with clients, and let’s not even go into marketing and sales for your business. EEK!
While you may have started your coaching journey, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you currently feel anything but that.
You’re exhausted, overwhelmed and even, thinking that maybe you really aren’t cut out for this one-on-one work.
I can totally relate because I’ve been there. I had a moment in the not so distant past where I was thinking about going back and getting J.O.B. It’s true!
So, here’s my advice, distilled by years of experience, running my own business and working with coaches just like you.
STOP.
Just STOP.
Now, take a deep breath. Feels good, doesn’t it?
Great!
Now, listen up buttercup, you are destined to help people, you are meant to do great work, you are wired for success.
BUT you need systems and processes in place that take care of all the moving bits and pieces, so you can focus on what you do best: coaching.
What IS Business Process All About?
Business processes are nothing but repeatable systems that free up time, add ease and flow and help you increase productivity and profitability.
They are truly not a big, hairy shmoo nor are they massively complex (expensive) apps that are going to break your budget.
Business processes can be as simple as batch-writing your blog content and social media updates or as complex as mapping out an automated funnel for new prospects, taking them from discovery calls to coaching contracts.
Business processes may seem overwhelming and daunting but honestly, if you have the right person on your side to guide you, it is the BEST investment you can make in your business and your personal life.
Let me break it down for you.
Here are 5 Reasons Coaches Need Processes
- Coaches need coaching too. Business processes give you that insight into what will help you business grow by leaps and bounds rather than, baby steps.
- Business processes, like automated invoicing, appointment scheduling and even, follow-ups, can breathe freedom back into your life.
- Business process and system-setup helps you save time and money whenever you need to bring on a new team member, since everything is documented and repeatable. You have a standardized document outlining all the different processes so there is NO chance of miscommunication or things falling through the cracks. Feels SO good, doesn’t it?
- Most importantly, systems and processes are what give your business that professional edge and your life that peace of mind. Your clients appreciate your attention to detail while your family enjoys the added time you get to hang out with them. You aren’t constantly, stuck to your phone or laptop or feeling stressed and overwhelmed. And yes, your health will thank you too!
- You learn to spot and fix potential problems in your business easily and quickly, giving you the energy and the focus you need to really supercharge that success.
W. Edwards Deming said, “94% of problems in business are systems-driven and only 6% are people-driven.”
