The Find Your Power Podcast - How To Be An Organized Coach

How To Be An Organized Coach

The Find Your Power Podcast

play

07/10/20 • 39 min

I am going to be speaking directly to how to organizing a horseback riding coach or instructor’s schedule here, so it will include barn setup, tack organization, ally placement as well as scheduling lessons and training slots but most of these concepts could be used for any appointment based business.

This post will also include the extra organizational steps I have taken post COVID-19, to ensure everyone is safe and has peace of mind while still keeping the flow of lessons relatively the same.

Before I start I want to make a little note for the new instructors and coaches out there. People are always going to complain, you will always have someone that thinks you should customize your entire company structure to fit their needs, I see this so much in this industry. Because clients see us as individuals more than a “school” they respect rules and systems a lot less.

Find what works for you, and stick to your guns. People will adapt. If you want to make changes to an existing client base, do so gradually and warn them about it, be open to feed back but also don’t scrap ideas that you know will make things smoother for you just because one person complained.

Here we go!...

Scheduling App and Online Shared Calendars

There are many calendar and schedule apps out there, but one major down fall is quite a few of them have some pretty bad glitches when it comes to recurring events.

All of my lessons used to be on a week to week basis, meaning clients would call me, or I would call them to setup a new lesson each week. Do not do this! It seems fine when you first start out but you will start to burn out fast on all of the stress of constant schedule changes and lack of consistency, not to mention the shear amount of time and energy it will take to manage that kind of schedule reduces your business unprofitable very quickly. Don’t forget when you are working for 2 hours while watching Netflix on the couch you are still technically “paying” yourself, so if you only made money of one 1 hour lesson that day, your profits just disappeared when you spent that extra time working.

The best app I have found so far is Google Calendar, it offers a stable mobile app and web based version, it can be integrated into your website, used with other apps and is easy to share with others.

It is also stable for reoccurring events, now my schedule consists of weekly or bi-weekly recurring lessons that repeat automatically in my calendar.

My calendar is also shared on my website on a private page for my students, and they can add it to their own schedule using an invite I provide them.

I have 4 different calendars that I maintain within Google Calendar for my business, which seems like a lot but it makes my life and work so much easier. The first is my own personal work one, all lessons get scheduled with in it, I mark the student’s name, and the first 3 letters of the horse’s name, as well as the address of the barn.

The second calendar is for my On-site students, which includes the same information as above, except no address and I add when the preparation time starts, as the scheduled time is always the start of the “arena” time.

Paper Planner

Ever since I experienced a bug with iCal (before I moved to Google) and lost all of my appointments I have been using a Paper planner backup. I use the Simplified Planners (Weekly version) from Emily Leah which can be found on Amazon.

Each week I fill out what’s in my digital calendar and add any to-do’s for the week as well. As most of my appointments are weekly this gives me an extra level of security in case my data is lost.

Scheduling System Chart

This is an important one, even if you only us a paper planner or digital calendar and not both, you absolutely need a Scheduling System Chart to keep track of where lessons are.

Now a little caveat here, do not, under any circumstances take personalized appointment times! This will make it so hard to organize and optimize your time and people will constantly expect more and more flexibility from you. I did this for my first 3 years of teaching, and the bigger I got the more of a nightmare it became.

Instead now I have scheduled class times, I have set days, and time slots that students can pick from. I do get new clients sometimes complain that there isn’t one that works for them, but that is ok. The majority of people think it makes perfect sense, because this is how it works everywhere else in the world.

I have a chart that displays the empty chart without who is scheduled in it for insult ration purposes, then I have another that has everyones name in the slot they chose. This is not a schedule, but rather an organizational chart so I can see where everyone is supposed to be if they happen to have a lesson that day. This system is great after a long break like we just had from the confinement....

The Find Your Power Podcast - 27. Burnout, Motivation and Progress

27. Burnout, Motivation and Progress

The Find Your Power Podcast

12/08/20 • 6 min

Welcome to my podcast where I share my passion for self improvement, education, homesteading and horses. I’m so happy you are here, let’s get started!

I am in a phase in my life where I am hustling to move forward in my life and career. This means long hours, minimal time off, stress and sometimes lack of sleep. I’ve been in this hustle stage for awhile now and have experienced a lot of highs and lows, working hard, nearing burn out, losing motivation, getting laser focused and back again.

In the last 10 years or so I have come to realize that these waves need to be ridden properly, and consistently in order to not lose forward momentum.

Something we learn in horseback riding is that impulsion and speed are not synonyms. Speed doesn’t mean you will be more successful it just mean when you fall you are going to hit harder. Having steading impulsion through life is just as important as it is in riding.

We can better see what’s coming ahead, steer and have the ability to change course or jump obstacles as they appear. We also get a better chance to think and reevaluate our goals along the way.

I am happy to say I have managed to avoid full blown burnout for the most part, but I have definitely veered dangerously close on many occasions.

Being a very driven person is difficult because we want some much, and push so hard often we go too far to the extreme and put too much on our plates.

Sometimes in the past when I have felt this coming on I have done a full stop. Taken time off work, stopped all projects and pulled away from riding and anything that wasn’t the absolute minimum life responsibilities. But every time I’ve done this I have just become depressed and lost all motivation, making starting the hustle back up so much harder than it needed to be, to the point it felt insurmountable.

I am in no way perfect, but I’ve started to be pretty good at listening to my body and mind and finding balance between what they need and what I want.

What I’ve done instead is found ways to maintain impulsion, while slowing down. Finding ways to fill my tank more than I empty it so as to build up my reserves to go another few miles of highway. This way I can both avoid burnout and loss of motivation.

A note on motivation

I’ve written about this before, but it’s worth noting again. Motivation is not this strong all consuming force that makes us want to get up at 4am despite our better judgment, Its a quiet voice that tells us to keep going towards our dreams, even when we don’t want to. Don’t think that because you don’t feel like lacing up your workout shoes or driving to the barn in -10 means you’ve lost motivation, it’s still there you just have to listen.

Now on to how I avoid burnout and maintain progress.

Find your baseline

Figure out what are the things you need to do at a very minimum to keep moving towards your goals even at a very reduced rate. For example I am working towards buying a farm and building a name for myself as a coach so minimum tasks for my growth are maintaining my client base, keeping up on my social media presence and riding/working with my horses at least enough to keep them and myself in shape and maintaining a good budget and credit standing.

Those things will keep me going forward, but slowly. If I want to get back to the forward motion I had before we add back in actively advertising to fill empty client spots, riding consistently to maintain progress in training, working out to increase my own endurance and strength, keeping client engaged and learning both in lessons and online, making extra income and paying off debt.

I know what my baseline is in every aspect of my life, I know what the bare minimum is to continue to improve but to allow time for rest, both mentally and physically.

Find your ideal growth range

Once you know that the bare minimum is, finding the best spot for you to sit to be moving as quickly and consistently towards your goals while avoiding the need to down shift anytime soon.

It’s possible for you to near burnout no matter what, but you should try and avoid it best you can. Life will throw you curve balls of course so a lot of it is out of your control, but do your best to find a comfortable spot where you can hustle from without fearing the edge of a cliff all the time.

Know when to push and when to pull

Life can be just like that time you didn’t notice the pull sign on a door and pushed incessantly until you embarrassedly noticed it was the wrong way and red faced, switched tactics. Sometimes we fight so hard in one direction we don’t realize there is a much easier way to get to the other side.

If we move too fast, of have our sights fixed too solidly on our goals we miss what’s right in front of ...
