13

: 00:00:45

Let's dive in!

14

: 00:00:59

Hey everybody, welcome to today's episode

of the Course Building Secrets® Podcast.

15

: 00:01:03

I am thrilled that you're here today.

16

: 00:01:05

Hey, I have to just address something

that I have been hearing a lot of on

17

: 00:01:09

social media lately, which is that you

can just build a scalable coaching model

18

: 00:01:14

helping hundreds of clients a day, for,

you know, just 20 minutes a day through,

19

: 00:01:20

you know, an asynchronous coaching tool

like Slack or Voxer or WhatsApp or however

20

: 00:01:26

it is that you would communicate with

people to coach them along, the journey.

21

: 00:01:32

And, and I've got to tell you

that that is one of the strategies

22

: 00:01:37

within an entire online experience,

but it's not the only one.

23

: 00:01:41

So when people are leading with

that, like, "Hey, I can help hundreds

24

: 00:01:45

of people in 20 minutes a day it's

awesome and let me show you how to

25

: 00:01:49

build a scalable coaching model"

they are missing the foundational

26

: 00:01:53

pieces, or they're not sharing the

foundational pieces that allow them to

27

: 00:01:58

successfully do that in the first place.

28

: 00:02:00

So I want to break that down today

because I think that it is a disservice

29

: 00:02:04

to people to just say, Hey, I can

help hundreds of people a day.

30

: 00:02:08

or, coach 100 people a day

in 20 minutes, at a shot.

31

: 00:02:12

And, and so, yes, when you build a

scalable coaching model, you will be

32

: 00:02:17

able to help more people in less time.

33

: 00:02:21

But I want to address all of the

stuff that goes into it, because I

34

: 00:02:23

don't think that, it's, you know,

people are getting the right, message.

35

: 00:02:29

Just like, you know, for so, so many

years, people are like, Oh, you can make

36

: 00:02:33

a million dollars online in four days

it's great just buy my thing, right?

37

: 00:02:37

And as, as, those of you who I know

who are listening to this podcast

38

: 00:02:43

are sophisticated enough to know that

that is not actually how it works.

39

: 00:02:46

So I want to just break it down because

foundationally, yes, it is something that

40

: 00:02:51

is possible, but it's possible because

you've put the infrastructure in place.

41

: 00:02:55

and so what has happened is the very

first thing that has, has been done

42

: 00:03:00

is that that person has created an

actual path for their customers to

43

: 00:03:07

go from the problem that they have to

the result that they're looking for.

44

: 00:03:11

And they have created a

journey for them, right?

45

: 00:03:13

They know exactly what somebody

needs at each step of the journey.

46

: 00:03:18

They know what they need to learn.

47

: 00:03:19

They know what kind of

support that they need.

48

: 00:03:22

And they've created tools and resources

and different training options to

49

: 00:03:26

help them go through the experience

independently, and then they are there

50

: 00:03:30

for support, as they're going through.

51

: 00:03:33

So, what they're doing is they're

showing up for any questions

52

: 00:03:36

or obstacles or roadmaps that

are coming up along the path.

53

: 00:03:39

But, the, the coaching itself

is not, the answer, right?

54

: 00:03:44

Like it's not the only thing that somebody

needs when they're going through that

55

: 00:03:49

sort of transformation from having a

problem not being able to do something

56

: 00:03:55

to being able to solve it and and grow

their business or grow whatever it is

57

: 00:03:59

that they're trying to accomplish, right?

58

: 00:04:02

And and so the very first thing to

put in place is that that path, right?

59

: 00:04:07

Like what is the actual step by step

path that somebody needs to go down in

60

: 00:04:12

order to, to go from, point A to point B?

61

: 00:04:16

That is the very first thing.

62

: 00:04:17

Really identify exactly the

steps that they need to take.

63

: 00:04:21

Not, what do they need to know?

64

: 00:04:23

How many videos do they need to watch?

65

: 00:04:24

How long should they, like, none of that.

66

: 00:04:27

It's literally like, what are the

steps that, that based on your

67

: 00:04:30

expertise and your experience,

you know that they need to take in

68

: 00:04:34

order to go from point A to point B.

69

: 00:04:36

That is fundamentally

the very first thing.

70

: 00:04:38

Then at the base of your scalable

coaching business, what you're going to

71

: 00:04:42

have is a foundational curriculum that

allows somebody to learn what they need

72

: 00:04:49

to learn, build the skills, adopt new

habits, practice some different techniques

73

: 00:04:56

so that they can go down that path and,

and, apply the steps to their business.

74

: 00:05:01

Right?

75

: 00:05:02

So you're going to have that foundational

training piece, whatever that is.

76

: 00:05:06

I will just take a quick detour and

tell you that some people struggle

77

: 00:05:09

like, well, my thing isn't a training.

78

: 00:05:12

Like I'm not teaching

people how to do something.

79

: 00:05:14

Well, you are helping them go from

their problem to a result, right?

80

: 00:05:19

Or get a transformation.

81

: 00:05:20

And there's an, there's a

process that they need to go

82

: 00:05:24

through to get there, right?

83

: 00:05:25

You don't just magically

say, I have a problem.

84

: 00:05:28

I'm magically going to, you know,

implement the answer, right?

85

: 00:05:32

Like, it doesn't work.

86

: 00:05:33

Like, you've gotta, gotta give

them steps and then help them to

87

: 00:05:38

practice and implement as they go.

88

: 00:05:40

So that's the first thing is

like, what are you teaching them?

89

: 00:05:43

What, how, how are you helping

them get from where they are

90

: 00:05:47

to where they want to be?

91

: 00:05:49

Then what, how can you

help them implement?

92

: 00:05:52

What are the tools and techniques and

worksheets or exercises or how do you

93

: 00:05:58

get them engaged in actually implementing

What you are teaching them along the

94

: 00:06:04

steps along the path so that they can

apply it directly to their business

95

: 00:06:09

because as we know, things don't

happen without some application, right?

96

: 00:06:17

Without being able to

implement and and move forward.

97

: 00:06:21

So there's a change that's happening

between what they're doing and

98

: 00:06:25

what they want to be doing.

99

: 00:06:26

And so that's the next piece is like,

how are you helping them implement?

100

: 00:06:29

What does that look like?

101

: 00:06:31

And then, and only then are you showing

up to help them remove obstacles.

102

: 00:06:36

So that's when you're showing up in

group coaching or one on one coaching

103

: 00:06:41

or Asynchronous coaching, right?

104

: 00:06:44

Where they could ask you questions

any time, which would be Vox or Slack,

105

: 00:06:49

Messenger, phone, email, however

you want to communicate with them.

106

: 00:06:54

where it's not face to face, where

it's not live, where you're having

107

: 00:06:58

a phone call with them, right?

108

: 00:06:59

And, What happens is two things.

109

: 00:07:02

One is people are able to ask questions

when they have them as they're going

110

: 00:07:07

through the flow of the experience

and when they're implementing.

111

: 00:07:11

The flip side is it gives you the

opportunity to respond in however

112

: 00:07:15

way you want to respond on your time.

113

: 00:07:17

right?

114

: 00:07:18

And so, so often when people are coaching

and they're like, okay, so I'm setting

115

: 00:07:23

up one on one calls and they're going

to be weekly or I'm doing group calls

116

: 00:07:27

or whatever, however you're connecting

with people, is a lot of times it's

117

: 00:07:31

like, it's just on a schedule and

people may or may not actually have a

118

: 00:07:37

question or a roadblock or an obstacle

when you have that scheduled time.

119

: 00:07:43

And so having asynchronous coaching

allows them to ask their question

120

: 00:07:47

when they have it and then get the

response when you are available.

121

: 00:07:51

Then you have other, some other

kinds of coaching options, right,

122

: 00:07:54

where that's where you're showing

up live either one on one or group.

123

: 00:07:59

And then that's where they can bring

whatever they want to to the table.

124

: 00:08:02

But time bound questions work so

well in an asynchronous environment.

125

: 00:08:06

So yes, you can help hundreds of

people all at the same time for, you

126

: 00:08:11

know, 20 minutes a day because you're

just going through all the questions.

127

: 00:08:15

You're going through where

people are, where they're stuck,

128

: 00:08:18

and then you helping them move

forward keeps them moving, right?

129

: 00:08:22

But again, you have an infrastructure

of content and, ways that you're helping

130

: 00:08:28

them implement tools and templates and,

and, you know, different options for them.

131

: 00:08:33

So they're moving forward, they're

still interacting with you, they're just

132

: 00:08:37

interacting with a virtual version of you.

133

: 00:08:39

And when they need the live version

of you, then you're stepping in in

134

: 00:08:42

whatever way you can deliver it.

135

: 00:08:44

So there you go.

136

: 00:08:45

That is the real answer to the story

of like, yes, I can help hundreds

137

: 00:08:50

of people in 20 minutes a day.

138

: 00:08:52

You can, once you set up the scalable

coaching model or the INFINITE SCALE™

139

: 00:08:57

model, which is what we teach in our Learn

mentorship program or within our business.

140

: 00:09:03

If you take one of our other options

either strategy sessions or the

141

: 00:09:07

different programs that we have What

we do is we help you like set up all

142

: 00:09:12

of the infrastructure that you need in

order to show up 20 minutes a day for

143

: 00:09:16

hundreds of clients and coach for them.

144

: 00:09:17

So I just I feel passionately that

when people are putting that out there,

145

: 00:09:24

they're giving you the hook, right?

146

: 00:09:25

They're giving you the answer, but

they're not giving you what's behind it.

147

: 00:09:29

And so, it's not all that you just show up

and what you're selling is the opportunity

148

: 00:09:34

for people to talk to you via email or

slack, whenever they want to, right?

149

: 00:09:39

Like very rarely do people actually

want that because they don't even know

150

: 00:09:43

what they're, what the questions are,

the challenges are, whatever else.

151

: 00:09:47

And so when it's within your experience,

that is when it becomes scalable and

152

: 00:09:51

it becomes something that allows you

to get out of that one on one and

153

: 00:09:56

having your calendar be maxed out.

154

: 00:09:58

People are, are able to schedule

with you when they need it, not

155

: 00:10:03

just on, a regular timeframe.

156

: 00:10:05

So there you go.

157

: 00:10:06

Hope that tip.

158

: 00:10:08

works well for you.

159

: 00:10:09
