Welcome to 2025!
I don’t do New Year's resolutions. But I do do strategy planning for my coaching business.
My focus for this year, and specifically for the next 12 weeks, is YouTube. I want to build a content system that starts with a YouTube video, while every other piece of content is a derivative from it, this Newsletter included. I also plan to batch content creation.
With this system, my goal is to have a wider reach, be more strategic about the content, and automate and optimize content creation.
That's sounds great, in theory.
But, writing is easy for me, most of the time.
It’s a trained muscle.
Creating and editing a video is a different story. There is a steep learning curve. But in 2025 I am determined to make it happen.
So much so, that I missed sending this Thriving Coach Sunday Newsletter last week because my first video was not ready.
Well, it is ready today. I actually used one of the 7 strategies from the video 🙃
Slightly late.
Not perfect.
But it’s here!
In today’s video, I share 7 practical strategies and mindset shifts that will help you find time for your coaching business, even if your schedule feels impossibly full.
👉 Watch the video and please subscribe to my channel to celebrate the first one🎉
What are those 7 strategies and mindset shifts?
I do encourage you to watch the video, it's a quick one and fun to watch.
But here's a taste of what's included:
- Choose your priority (building your business) and lower the standard for everything else. Learn to do things "good enough".
- Talk to your spouse or partner and get their support. The first year of your business is a difficult one.
- Make "NO" your default answer. Get used to discomfort.
- Plan to work on your business during your peak hours.
- Buy your time back: delegate, outsource, hire a business coach.
- Learn smart multitasking.
- Create forcing functions and limitations to push yourself forward.
The truth is, you don’t need endless hours to start a business. With these strategies, you can free up to 20–60 minutes a day or several hours on weekends.
That’s enough to make meaningful progress.
Want a deeper dive into these strategies? In this video, I share my personal experience and practical tips to create time for your business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sleep.
Here’s to making 2025 the year you start building your dream business! 🥂
Till then, stay awesome!
