“When You Think About How Much Work You Have To Do To Grow Your Coaching
Business, Do You Ever Feel Overwhelmed & Exhausted? If so…”

“Pay close attention to this step-by-step process
that shows you how to take immediate control of
your time, your activities, and your life so that
you can accomplish far more while consistently
working from a state of peace & joy…”

Dear Coach,

Do you ever feel stressed out because “there aren’t enough hours in the day”,
or there’s just “too much to do and too little time”? Maybe you even feel like no
matter how hard you work, you just can’t seem to get caught up, and the “to do”
list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Have you read a few time books and found that some of the ideas worked and
some of them didn’t. And, even if they all worked well, you might be getting more
things done, but somehow more time isn’t becoming available to you.

Why Time Management Doesn’t Work & What To Do About It…

There is a fundamental problem with time management programs. There is an
underlying assumption that is flawed. The assumption is that if you can get more
things done in less time, you will have more free time.

But, that’s a lie! People who have big goals will always have more things to do
than you can ever finish in a given day, week, or month. No matter how much you
complete there will always be more.

Time management is not the answer. “Time management” can be helpful, but if
you really want to be more productive AND have the free time to do other things
besides work, then you’ll need to take a different approach. I’ll share this with you
in a second, but first, let me ask you this…

What would you do with your time if you had twice as much of it? What would
you like to be doing with your time that you aren’t already doing?

Do you want to…

• spend more time with friends and family?
• take more breaks, mini-vacations, and full-on vacations?
• be able to be more creative and not worry about the sales and marketing so much?
• take a month off and travel the world?
• take 3 day weekends?
• work 25 hour work weeks?
• ____________________ (you fill in the blank)Why Some People Work Best Under Pressure

  Are you someone that works best under pressure? Do you need the rush of a
  deadline that’s almost impossible to reach in order to churn out your best stuff?
  There are 3 reasons for this…

  First, when you have a deadline and a project is due “tomorrow”, you give
  yourself permission to do crappy work. Heck, you don’t have a lot of time, you’re
  working really fast, if this isn’t amazing, you have a perfect excuse. You inner critic
  can go to sleep and you can just get to work.

  Second, when you are under pressure you “have to” come up with something.
  Instead of worrying and thinking “I don’t know what to write” or “I don’t know how
  to do this”, because of the pressure of the deadline, you just ‘make yourself’ come
  up with something. Good or bad; right or wrong, you get to work and start banging
  away at it.

  Finally, when you’re under pressure, you get a surge of adrenaline. This gives
  you great levels of energy and your brain is extra fired up in the moment giving
  you more creativity and more power to accomplish what you’re working on.

  The “Dark Side” of the Pressure Cooker…

  Of course, all of the reasons why people work better under pressure are part of
  the reason why you might find yourself behind the 8 ball so often. And even
  though “in the moment” when you’re working on a project with a deadline, you
  might feel great. It has a high cost.

  When you’re done with a project like this, there’s usually a crash that comes
  after it. Sometimes a big one, sometimes small ones. But, this constant UP and
  DOWN is actually quite exhausting. Especially when there are so many projects to
  work on.

  The best work is actually done from a state of peace and calm, but because
  people have an “inner critic” that is expecting all of their ideas to be great ones and
  all of their work to be perfect, sometimes it’s not until the pressure is on that you
  can put the critic to sleep. However, if you could put the critic to sleep for good,
  you wouldn’t need to threat of a deadline to make it OK to go for it.

  When you’re working “in the flow”, at a peaceful and relaxed pace, the energy
  isn’t coming from adrenaline, it’s coming from a more pure place. This is the same
  place that all ideas come from. You’re more in alignment with universal energy and
  power and the work you do is more profound and effective.

  The REAL Cost of Being “Hurried, Worried, Rushed, & Stressed”…

  Coaches I know who are working their butts off, are missing out on a lot. But,
  it’s usually not very clear what they’re missing. You see, not only do you miss out
  on doing fun stuff that you’d rather be doing. You also miss out on a high quality of
  life.

  “How you spend your time, is how you spend your life.”
  – Christian Mickelsen

  When you’re stressed out by all of the things you need to do to grow your
  coaching business, and you feel hurried & worried, it can be very hard to stay
  present when you’re doing the “fun stuff”. Why? Because there’s a part of your
  mind that’s still thinking about all of the stuff you need to do, and worrying that
  something might fall through the cracks.

  This impacts….

• your health
• your relationships
• your attractiveness (to clients)
• your general feeling of aliveness. Plus…Before you know it, your whole life can pass you by.  And on top of it all, when
  you’re feeling this way, and working this way – your work can actually suffer
  producing less than desirable results. Plus…

  You might miss out on opportunities and synchronicities that show up, only to go
  unnoticed because your nose is buried too deep in your computer.

  How Much More Money Will You Make When You Master TIME Itself?

  If you eliminated procrastination from your life, would you accomplish more? If
  you regularly tapped into your highest genius, would your work be of better
  quality? If you were “in the zone” while working on your marketing materials, would
  they be more effective? And working this way, would you be more naturally
  attractive to clients?

  If you think the answers to these questions (above) are yes, then my next questions is –

  What is it worth to…

• have your life back?
• work the hours you want?
• be totally relaxed while working?
• be totally present with family and friends (no longer worrying about your
  endless mountain of work)?
• consistently turn out your best work?
• never feel overwhelmed?If changing your relationship to time and work means you might
  make an extra $20K/year for the next 25 years, then you might be willing to make
  a large investment in mastering this area of your life.

  On top of all this, did you know that numerous clinical studies show that people
  who are under lots of stress are at greater risk for health issues such as heart
  attacks and cancer? Did you also know that stress lowers your immune system
  increasing your chances of getting sick?

  What is it worth to be able to live an extra 5 to 10 years? To live a healthier life
  with fewer illnesses?

  The answer to “what is it worth” is of course, “priceless”. But, ask a dying man
  what he would pay for an extra 5 years in good health and the numbers will
  astound us both.

  How I Accidentally Became “Time Abundant”…

  I have been coaching busy business owners for the last 9 years. And the top 2
  reasons they hire me are to make more money and have more free time. But, for
  the last 9 years I have not been teaching time management strategies. Why not?

  It certainly isn’t because my clients don’t need them.  The reason is because I
  could never get myself to fit my lifestyle into the tightly structured “time-
  management boxes” that most experts profess. Can you relate?

  I do use a few time management strategies that work like a charm, (which I’ll
  share with you in a moment), but I never felt good advising my clients on them.
  And then something happened…

  I realized that over the last year, my life has transformed in a miraculous way! I
  was asked to speak to a group of business owners and I asked them what they
  most need help with, and the majority of them said “I don’t have enough time to
  get everything done” and hearing that sounded weird to me because I realized
  that I had more time abundance than anyone I knew (and I know a lot of very
  successful people).

  I had managed to achieve something that has eluded so many.

  As I was speaking to this group of business owners, I decided to take a look at
  myself and why I have so much time abundance in my life, in spite of the fact that I
  have am the owner of one of the biggest, fastest growing businesses in my
  industry.

  On the spot I identified several concepts that I live by which I now call the “Free
  Your Time, Free Your Life” principles. I shared these ideas and everyone in the
  audience was stunned. People were shocked that it was so simple, yet so
  profound. I have since taught these concepts to a handful of other lucky people to
  more cheers of appreciation. And now, I want to share them with you.

  Principle #1: Free Your Mind Of Time Scarcity
  Principle #2: Love Everything You Do
  Principle #3: Develop Patient Timelines
  Principle #4: Simplify Your Life
  Principle #5: Upgrade Your Energy Sources
  Principle #6: Re-define Your World
  Principle #7: Elevate Your Consciousness

  Warning: These Ideas May Make You Feel Very WEIRD (In a Good Way)…

  The beautiful thing about these new concepts is that they create a “total time
  transformation” – meaning that your whole relationship to time changes and you
  become a person that is naturally “time abundant”.

  Here are some side effects of learning and applying these principles….

• You feel more relaxed
• You’re in “the flow” of life
• Your work “happens” (no more forcing things, now the ideas just come to you
  and come through you)
• You have more time for play and fun and the people that really matter to you
  in your life
• The work you do is far more effective (every hour of work accomplishes 2 to 3
  times what it used to) And… 

  I have to warn you that it can feel kind of weird because all of the drama of day
  to day life might disappear – leaving you with a strange sense of peace and calm.

  In fact, I teach this live as a 4-month group coaching program because
  sometimes an unconscious part of a person’s mind will try to sabotage this shift
  since the ego feeds on drama. We need to keep an eye on your application of
  these changes so that they stick -once and for all!

  The Only Time Management Techniques That Actually DO Work For Me (Maybe
  They’ll Work For You Too)…

  Again, I’m not a big fan of traditional time management because they don’t
  really get to the root-cause of a lack of time… you. But, in studying so many time
  management programs, here are the ideas that I was able to implement that have
  helped me…

  #1: Time chunk-
  Instead of having coaching sessions scheduled throughout the week, bunch them
  up so that you have a few sessions right in a row each day that you coach. This
  will keep you from having to constantly stop what you’re doing and get ready to
  coach. You can do this with other activities too. You’ll find yourself twice as
  productive from this one simple idea.

  #2: Schedule activities-
  Most people find that when they have an appointment, they don’t miss it (they
  may run late, but they usually keep it). So, if you have a big project you’re working
  on, set aside specific times to work on it in your calendar. You’ll find that you
  procrastinate far less when you have a schedule and you’ll make far more progress
  on your projects.

  #3: Make a list-
  OK, this is an oldie, but a goodie. If you can get all of your ideas out of your head
  and onto a piece of paper, you’ll be able to immediately relax and you can get a
  great sense of accomplishment each time you cross something off the list.

  #4: Prioritize-
  Once you have a list, now you want to make sure you get the most important
  things done first. Of course, if there are a few quick and easy things you can do to
  make progress, get momentum, and get a few things crossed off your list, go for
  it. But that aside, if you can get clear on the top 3-5 most important things to work
  on, and you work on it, you’ll make the greatest impact on the results you’re
  wanting to produce.

  #5: That’s it –
  There are only 4 “time management” strategies that I actually do with any
  consistency. They help, but to be honest, they aren’t what freed me from the rat
  race of time.

  Time For Brutal Loving Honesty About Your Life…

  The truth is, you’ve probably already heard of the time management techniques
  I just shared. You may have tried them in the past. You might even being using
  them right now. If so, you’ll probably agree that they were helpful, but did they
  really help you get this area of your life handled?

  Probably not or you wouldn’t still be reading this. If you really want to enjoy
  your time and your life, and take control of this situation once and for all, you’re
  going to have to dig deeper and approach things in a whole new way. And I’d like
  to help…
