One of My Clients is Moving Really Fast
People grow at their own pace.
Usually the constraints are internal not external. As a coach I’ve developed some tools and techniques to help but I can’t do it for anyone. But there’s a client who seems to be making progress faster than most. He’s also using one of my tools a lot more frequently than most.
It surprised me to look back and realize we’d only been working together for two months. His 3rd child was born just before we started working together. In fact he hired me because he wanted to spend more time with his kids. In that time he’d done the following:
Outsourced the fulfillment of his physical products (a small but important part of his offerings).
Hired an off-shore consultant to start documenting his SOPs in Notion
Started working with a VA on his emails
Consulted with a company whose software he’s using to make it better
Found a new CPA to do his taxes
Got to enjoy his 6 year old’s birthday party with no regrets about not working
He did all this while going through one of the busiest 3 week periods in his season.
But his most important achievement is his mental shift.
He’s letting go of so many things that he used to feel he needed to hold on to. Here’s the most recent example:
There’s a weekend event his company puts on several times a year. He’d be there for hours before, during and after each time. Leaving his wife home with the kids. He just came to the realization that the critical part where he adds the most value only takes about 5 minutes at the ending ceremony. Now that he’s ready to let go, we’ll be building the systems to hand off the stuff he used to do without anything falling through the cracks.
The tool he’s using more than most of my clients? You can learn it here in less than 9 minutes. It’s CEO Time.
