Hey, welcome today we're gonna talk about administration. So basically how to do as little admin as possible in your online coaching. Now you've probably heard before that you need to do at least 50% marketing and 50% coaching. So break down your time, you know, half of it for coaching and half of it for marketing, this is something that has been going around the coaching grapevine for a while.


But of course, it makes you wonder... where do I squeeze in my admin? Now of course automation is key. Absolutely. I love to do as little admin as possible, but there are some things that you need to have in place in order to save yourself a lot of time. Now I have been in this industry for a while. I've had businesses before and I'm a big, big systems lover.

And the reason is this, you know, if somebody has actually paid you in for.


They, are the ones holding the risk. You're not the one holding the risk. They're the one's sort of sticking their neck out and trusting you. And of course, you know, you're, you're a great coach, you know, you're going to deliver, you know, everything's going to be fine, but of course, They are the ones holding the risk because they don't know that yet, but because they have paid you in full, you're not really running an asterisk, so you really don't have any need to send a contract.


So what this does is it actually saves you quite a lot of time, because let's say, for instance, approximately 70% of my clients pay in...
