Welcome back to another exciting episode of "The Scaling to Business Success Podcast". In this week's episode, I want to discuss how I was able to work full time at my oncology pharmacy technician and still have a successful coaching buisness. This is something that I'm very passionate about sharing with you, especially if you still work full-time and want to start an online course and successful online coaching business.

In 2020, when I decided to create a program that wasn't geared towards my regular audience at the time (helping business coaches with YouTube), I was afraid that it wasn't going to work. But I decided to look past the fear and do it anyway. Doing that led me to making $10K with my brand new online course, and I did it with a brand new audience. 

Even though I was coaching my program live, I was still working a full time job making oncology medications for patients at work. But knowing that I was able to launch a new online course around my work schedule, and still show up for my audience is what many "business gurus" aren't talking about online.

I want to share with you how I did it, what steps I took, and how you can do the same.

Ready to listen in to what steps I'm taking to make this all happen?

Let's get into the episode!

 

In this episode you'll hear:

• Why I schedule everything in my business using Google Calendar. In order for me to stick to my agreements with other people and with myself, everything goes in the calendar. My work schedule, working out at the gym, taking time for myself, spending time with family, working and doing things in my business. It doesn't matter what it is, it goes in the calendar. This also helps me when I'm doing calls with potential students for my course. I even put in my calendar when I'm going to record podcast episodes and when I'll edit and post them! If you're not using a calendar system to schedule your day while you're working a full-time job, then you're not really in control of your time once you get off. Schedule it on your calendar like your life depends on it!
• I also utilize downtimes as much as possible. There's only so many things you can get done in a day. And when I have downtime at work, I use that time to listen to audiobooks, listen to podcasts, and create content. I even take time to go through courses and programs once I know that I'm done for the day and there's still some time left. A lot of people may see this as "stealing time" but it's better to be productive for something that you want instead of scrolling on TikTok or Instagram. When you have downtime at home, that can be for spending time with your family. But downtime at work? Use that towards doign something that's going to get you closer to your goals in life.
• Why I make sure I exercise in the morning or at least once a day. I'm an early bird, so with me having to be at work at 7:30am, I get to work around 6:30am and give myself enough time to walk 2 miles around the parking garage. I can walk two miles within 40 minutes. And during that time while I'm walking, I listen to podcasts and audiobooks to get my mind in the right state before clocking in for work. They give me so much to think about while I'm working and it helps me to stay focused on what I want to achieve.
• Why I will always run some type of automated funnel in my business. As a full time business coach, automated funnels give me so much more free time in my business. They allow me to live life and enjoy what it has to offer. Being able to run ads to reach my ideal audience allows me to now have to spend so much time creating organic content where I'm giving free tips all the time. If you're not running paid ads, I want you to start trying. It's worth it, and it helps you to have more free time with your business and in your life. 

If you're a business owner or entrepreneur who is struggling with business growth, and you're ready to do something about it, this episode is for you! Tune in to learn some practical tips and strategies for helping you incorporate new habits in your life.
