My most successful client relationships have been with coaches who are on the opposite end of the DiSC assessment from me.

In our cases, they are the big-vision, ideas people with huge personalities.

I'm the quieter, organized, hyper attention to detail person. I'm thinking ahead 8 individual steps, while they see a room full of people at a retreat.

When hiring a new team member, particularly an assistant, I recommend YOU take a couple of personality strengths tests first to see what holes you need filled.

Strengths-finders, DiSC, and Sacred Money Archetypes would be my first recommendations. That last one because if the way you both think about and approach money is very different, it can end up causing friction.

For example, if you (the coach) are the personality type who likes to spend money on big, flashy things, and they (the team member) are a saver personality type, there could be a clash of spending styles where they are trying to save you money and you don't hold that same value.

It's not about "wasting" money. It's about making sure you understand each other.

In my case, I'm a saver, the child of a saver and a spender, I was on the PTA for 10 out of 11 years, and I have always placed value on making a dollar stretch - especially when it's someone else's dollar.

Many of my clients say that they have more money than time. Rather than them spending time looking for an old graphic to update, they'd rather pay to have it created all over again.

It took me a bit of time to truly GET that they really did mean it. Now, I understand.

When it comes time to hire a contractor or employee, a really good candidate will be asking you questions to determine your fit as their client/employer at the same time you are assessing them for fit with you.

Unless you are looking for someone to take on your position in the company, don't hire someone who is just like you. Hire for the things you don't want to do and the strengths you don't have.

If you're looking for an assistant to help you with the details in your coaching business DM me. I currently have space for two clients.

Do you want to spend less time on admin stuff in your business and have more time to spend however you want?
DM me.

Every company needs at least one person who notices the super fine details and can think ahead to what problems might come up if it isn't fixed.

I am an amazing assistant for life and biz coaches BECAUSE my brain works differently than yours. My clients see the big picture and big vision of their businesses. I see the tiny brush strokes.

For a business to thrive long-term, you need both.

Message me.

The way you interact with technology can be a form of self-care.

Today, self-care looks like: adjusting the font settings on my phone to make all text BOLD. 😂

Even though I have more than 14 years as a business owner and have worked with LOTS of coaches, I know what it’s like to struggle with technology systems overwhelm.

Because years ago, that struggle consumed my life.

I know what it’s like to wake up to technology systems that no longer talk to other systems, a scattered calendar, and a day full of putting out fires.

And to lay down at night thinking about how overwhelmed I was and how much time I was wasting trying to sort everything out in my head - time that I WASN’T spending with my young children.

It got so bad that I was staying up often all night trying to get everything completed, or I would set an alarm to go off at 2:00am, 2:05 AM *AND* 2:07 AM to wake me up from a nap to meet a deadline.

So, I know how painful it can be.

And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it.

To have all of my tech together and to have a life where I wake up to ease and clarity. I go to bed at night thinking about all of the fun things and conversations we did as a family that day.

The best part is I get to go to bed when I’m ready and wake up when I'm ready. No more late nights or super early alarm clocks!

And, I want this kind of life for everyone! That’s why I do the work that I do.

Even though there’s a part of me that thinks I’m sharing too much about my life’s work, my deeper truth is that I care way too much about helping people get freedom from tech systems stress to let that fear stop me.

Because I know how painful it can be when you have technology systems issues keeping you from serving your clients. And, I have dedicated myself to helping LOTS of people get tech systems issues off their minds.

If you (or anyone you know) struggles with technology systems, I'm offering 5 free Tech Stack Analysis Sessions to help you start moving toward cohesive technology systems.

Life is too short to spend it with tech stress. I’d be honored to support you (or someone you care about).

LMK below if I can be of service to you or someone you care about.

When it comes to dealing with systems in your business, what is your biggest question?

08/19/2024

Do you have a quality assurance person on your team who does the final walk-through looking for broken links, incorrect dates (maybe on a FB ad you're paying for that you are reusing), or missing emails?

Sometimes, we're too close to a project that we built ourselves to see the giant errors...
..or that the PayPal sandbox is still turned on, so none of those sales actually collected money.
(Not my project, I saw this when I was filling out my info to sign up for a program and saw that my card didn't get charged, and promptly alerted the biz owner.)

My brain naturally sees these and wants to jump in and help.

I'm not immune to mistakes, of course.

Quality assurance errors are about more than typos or a broken link, though. Competition for potential client dollars has gotten a lot fiercer than it was in 2021.

What are your errors saying about your business and your team?

Are you potentially leaving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table because you changed the pricing structure of a program, but the check-out page and your sales emails don't match?

Sure, it looks good to say, "I'm a person of my word and I'm honoring the mistake," but it can also leave a question mark in the mind of the buyer as to what other mistakes may be happening.

If you are looking for someone to be that last set of eyes before you launch, DM me and let's get you all buttoned up.

🔥 Hot tip: 🔥

Have someone on your team check your sales page using, at minimum, an iPhone, Android, and computer with a normal sized screen. 📱💻

That amazing copy you got Just Right doesn't matter if a potential client cannot read it because mobile shifted your whotry text on top of your white sleeve. ⬜⚪⬜

Hey coaches,

Do you feel like you’ve got some runaway momentum?

Like a high-speed train that you can’t find the brakes on. 🚄

I know what it’s like when the panic and overwhelm set in. You don’t know where to start or what to deal with first.

When this happens, it’s important to take a step back and look at different ways to calm the chaos before it gets worse.

A great strategy is to automate, eliminate, and delegate.

🤖 Automate: List out everything you do on repeat and look at ways to automate those repetitive tasks. It’s great if you know how to use some tech tools, but if you don’t, it can be as simple as creating email templates to save you from wasting precious minutes remembering how you worded it last time.

❌Eliminate: What are you spending time on that isn’t paying off? Start by analyzing all your marketing channels. If you’ve given something a fair, consistent chance, it’s time to look at what doesn’t need to come with you into Q3.

🙋‍♀️Delegate: Outsource the things that don’t belong in your zone of genius but still need to get done.

Some things that can be delegated to a team like mine are your:

✔️ File organization
✔️ Client onboarding
✔️ Kajabi/Clickfunnels/ActiveCampaign/etc management
✔️ Community management
✔️ Social media management
✔️ Website management
✔️ Sales funnel and automation management
