3 SECRETS TO ACHIEVING A PROFITABLE 3-DAY WORK-WEEK
For The Entrepreneur Who Believes They Get To Have It All
Let’s face it – we all dream of making a meaningful impact on the world while enjoying the ultimate freedom and financial success. But the harsh reality is, most of us find ourselves trapped in a never-ending cycle of client sessions, endless to-do lists, and crippling burnout.
In fact, According to a study by Gallup, entrepreneurs work an average of 52 hours per week, which is 63% more than the average worker. Another study conducted by Bank of America found that 29% of small business owners work more than 50 hours per week, and 86% work on weekends.
As a fellow entrepreneur who’s been there and done that, I know that there’s a better way to build a business that allows you to have it all. And today, I’m here to share with you the top 3 secrets that will help you revolutionize your coaching, service or course creation business.
After years of researching and experimenting with lifestyle design business models, I’ve discovered the proven strategies that will help you hack a profitable 3-day work week – so you can enjoy a long weekend every week. With these powerful tips, you can finally break free from the hustle and enjoy the financial success, lifestyle freedom, and quality time with your loved ones that you truly deserve.
Let’s dig right in.
SECRET #1 – SELLING ONE HIGH TICKET SCALABLE OFFER
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly on the launch hamster wheel? Do you spend countless hours creating, launching, and selling multiple offers, only to feel burnt out and overwhelmed?
It’s time to focus on selling just one high ticket scalable offer.
By mastering the sales and delivery of just one core offer at a higher price tag, you can sell fewer spaces to hit your revenue goals as opposed to selling hundreds of low-ticket sessions or offers. This means less time spent on launching and delivering and more time spent doing whatever the heck you want.
But wait, there’s more
When you shift gears to a leveraged group coaching model as opposed to packing your schedule with loads of 1:1 sessions, you’re now able to serve 10x the amount of clients without increasing the amount of time spent delivering your offer. This not only saves you time but also allows you to impact more people with your expertise in an incredibly sustainable way.
Let’s break it down together.
Imagine you’re a coach who offers one-on-one coaching sessions at $100 per hour. To hit your revenue goal of $10,000 per month, you would need to book 100 sessions per month. That’s a lot of time spent on marketing, booking, and delivering sessions. Ultimately, this is also a formula for burnout and the mental breakdown that follows.
Now, let’s say you switch to selling a high ticket scalable offer, like a curriculum-based group coaching program at $1,000 per person. To hit the same revenue goal of $10,000 per month, you would only need to sell 10 spots in your program – while spending only a few hours delivering your program a week. Sounds a lot more manageable now doesn’t it?
I’m curious – which would you rather have?
$10 000 months created through serving 100 clients every month – or 10?
It’s not a trick question. This is the power of a high-ticket scalable offer.
SECRET #2 – BATCH SCHEDULE AND IMPLEMENT A/B WEEKS
Are you tired of jumping from task to task, never feeling like you’re making progress on anything?
If so, it’s time to batch schedule your essential needle moving activities and implement A/B weeks.
By breaking your weeks and days up into chunks and ensuring that you have time scheduled for income-creating activities, admin, delivery, sales, and time to enjoy a break, you can create a state of total concentration without losing time to interruptions from switching tasks.
This not only saves you time but also helps you maintain focus and avoid burnout.
Implementing A/B weeks was a major game-changer for me in business. Here’s how I broke it down:
I decided that A weeks would be dedicated to client-facing activities like booking sessions and completing projects, and B weeks would be dedicated to focusing on needle-moving projects within my business. This allowed me to get twice as much done in half the time because I wasn’t interrupting business projects with client sessions or vice versa.
Let’s look at an example.
Imagine you have a full week of client sessions scheduled, but you also have a new product launch you need to prepare for. Without A/B weeks, you would need to juggle client sessions and product launch tasks, leading to a chaotic and stressful week.
But with A/B weeks, you can schedule your client sessions during A weeks and dedicate B weeks to focus solely on your product launch. This not only allows you to be more productive and efficient but also ensures that you’re giving your clients the attention and value they deserve during their sessions.
A/B weeks not an option?
Choose to segment your days and determine your client delivery days or times and the times or days you’ll spend focusing on moving the needle forward in your business.
SECRET #3 – GET HELP
Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in tasks that don’t require your unique expertise? Are you spending too much time on admin-related tasks or other tasks that could easily be delegated to someone else?
It’s time to get help.
Hiring a virtual assistant or outsourcing certain tasks can free up valuable time for you to focus on high-level tasks that require your unique expertise. It also allows you to grow your business without sacrificing your work-life balance.
But it’s not just about outsourcing tasks. It’s about finding the right people to help you and creating systems and processes to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
For example, you could hire a virtual assistant to handle administrative tasks, like scheduling appointments or responding to emails. Or you could outsource your social media management to a social media expert who can create content and engage with your audience.
By delegating tasks that can be handled by someone else, you’ll have more time to focus on growing your business and serving your clients. This ultimately leads to increased revenue and a more enjoyable work-life balance.
IN SUMMARY
The core foundation for a highly profitable, sustainable business with ample lifestyle freedom is a scalable high-ticket group offer – with a strategic support system to match.
