You know that sneaky trap called the “excellence zone”? It's those tasks you're pretty good at, maybe even enjoy a little? For me, it was organizing client financials into spreadsheets and setting up systems. The trap is that because you're good at it, it's easy to keep doing it yourself. Even when it's time to let it go.But every minute you spend there is a minute you're not spending in your true zone of genius. That's the sweet spot where you're making the impact you wanted to make when you first went into business.This week, I'm sharing what happens in these two zones after you hire your first team member. And it might not be what you think. I learned the hard way that trying to train my first hire while maintaining my full client load was like trying to build a house while also running a marathon. Something's got to give.I'll walk you through our practical seven-step training process that takes more time up front but means you're catching fewer errors on the back end and putting out a lot fewer fires later. You'll learn why blocking off 20% of your client hours during training is actually an investment in an amazing new team member, not a loss of time or revenue.Some of our biggest leaps forward at Fiscal Fitness, my own coaching practice, happened after I learned to let go and trust my team. Now imagine if all your time was spent just coaching clients. How would that feel? That is possible for you, and I'll show you how to get there step by step.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Hiring your first support person might actually be harder than launching your business because you're learning a completely new skill set while still running everything.Your “excellence zone” is a sneaky trap. Those tasks you're good at keep you from your true zone of genius where your business actually grows.Create a “rainy day project” for your new hire. They need productive work when waiting for your input, not just idle time.Before bringing someone on, set up a growth fund. Small savings now will cushion the temporary revenue dip later.Scheduled check-ins work better than constant availability. Try 9 a.m., noon, and 4 p.m. meetings instead of answering questions all day.Let them teach it back to you. When they demonstrate what they've learned, you'll see what they've truly absorbed.Trust unlocks growth. Some of your biggest business leaps will happen only after you learn to let go and truly trust your team.
When a potential client reaches out to you about financial coaching, they're often feeling worried and doubtful. They might even be telling themselves they're “too far gone” for help. That's exactly why those first interactions matter so much.In this episode, we're talking about how to handle those early conversations with confidence (even if you're feeling nervous on the inside). You'll hear about practical, affordable tools that help you look professional from day one, and why making actual phone calls—yes, real phone calls!—can be a game-changer for connecting with potential clients.For newer coaches who worry about being too pushy, we're sharing a simple three-touch system that takes the guesswork out of following up. You'll learn why timing these follow-ups every two weeks (hint: it has everything to do with when people get paid) can make a huge difference in converting interested people into clients.I'm also sharing the exact welcome sequence we use at Fiscal Fitness, my own financial coaching practice, to help new clients feel supported and excited about their decision to work with us. These are the same strategies I used when I was just starting out, before I had a team to help me.Remember what I always say—consistency beats complexity every time. You don't need to implement everything at once. Start with one thing, master it, then add another. That's how you build a coaching practice that truly serves your clients while feeling manageable for you.This is the first part of our special series on delighting your clients, and you won't want to miss what's coming next.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupClient Journey RoadmapEpisode 97: Working On Your Business vs Working In itKey Takeaways:A confused buyer doesn't buy, so keep your initial communications clear and simple, without overwhelming them with details.Looking professional doesn't have to be expensive—$16 a month covers both a business email and phone line to start looking established.When clients ghost you, remember this: they're most likely to respond two weeks after your last contact, right when their paycheck is running low.Your quick audit call isn't for coaching. It's a 15-20 minute conversation to see if you're the right fit for each other.Those early “I messed that up” moments on client calls? They're not failures—they're your path to becoming a better coach.The best time to ease buyer's remorse is right after they say yes—a simple welcome call can transform doubt into excitement.Your client's belief in what's possible with money starts by borrowing yours. Share your excitement about their future progress every chance you get.
Ever sat on your couch on a Saturday night, watching a movie with your family, when suddenly you get a notification that someone just booked a session with you? But instead of scrambling to send emails and set up reminders, you can keep watching that movie, knowing everything is happening automatically—from payment processing to welcome emails to calendar updates.That's the power of having the right systems in place. In this week's episode, I share some hard-learned lessons about choosing and setting up business tools—including a "ticking time bomb" mistake that nearly derailed one coach's entire business. Whether you're just starting out or feeling overwhelmed by managing multiple clients, this episode shows why keeping things simple might be your smartest move.You'll hear real stories about coaches in the trenches, including one who was literally afraid to take on new clients because she didn't trust her systems to deliver consistently. Plus, I'll explain why that "all-in-one" platform you're considering might be the riskiest choice you could make.Want a list of my favorite tools that keep Fiscal Fitness, my own financial coaching practice, running smoothly? Head to financialcoachacademy.com/resources.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupFind the resources mentioned in this episodeKey Takeaways:Start small, usually with just a scheduling tool. Add other systems only when you need them.Keep your tools separate instead of using all-in-one platforms. It's safer and more flexible for your growing business.Build your systems around your client journey, not the other way around. Think of support first, then make it automatic.Own your tools and data. Never use someone else's account or agency model. Your business deserves its own foundation.Manual processes teach you what works. Learn from doing things by hand before automating.The less organized you are naturally, the more you need solid systems. Let technology be your strength.Time for better systems? When you're afraid to take on new clients or spending too much time on tasks that could be automated.
