How I Freed Up 20 Hours a Week in My Coaching Practice

In this episode, the speaker shares crucial time management lessons learned from experience, particularly during a period of burnout while running their coaching practice. They recount a pivotal retreat in Cyprus where a mentor helped them realize inefficiencies in their time allocation, particularly regarding travel for client meetings. By shifting consultations online, they saved significant hours each week, leading to reduced stress and an opportunity to focus on growing their practice.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of regularly auditing one's time and offers a color-coding system for organizing appointments in a diary, enhancing awareness of how time is spent. Strategies discussed include batching similar tasks to maintain focus and energy, incorporating 'me time' into the schedule, and conducting weekly diary detoxes to prepare for upcoming weeks. The transition from one-on-one coaching to group coaching is also highlighted as a significant shift that not only cut hours spent coaching but improved results and allowed for higher pricing. Overall, the episode stresses that effective time management can free up hours for personal life and improve business efficiency.
