How to create a six figure coaching business while working a 9-5
Oct 29, 2024One of the hardest things I've had to do was build my business to $100,000 while also working my full time job. I'm going to tell you everything I did to build my coaching business past $100K, make my job optional, & finally put in my notice.
You can also listen to my podcast episode here: How to build a $100,000 business on part time hours.
The first thing you need to know is that most people have more time than you do. That saying, "we all have the same 24 hours in a day" LITERALLY doesn't apply to you, because 40-50 hours of your week aren't really yours. So the first thing you need to know is: don't judge yourself. That's one. Secondly, tips like: batching content, going live every 2 days, posting 3 reels a day, etc likely won't work for you. That's okay.
Here's what worked for me: MICROBURSTS of effort. If I had 20 minutes on my lunch break, that was a working 20 mins. I would wake up 20 mins earlier & reply to dms. I would carve out 15-20 min slots a few times a day because that was truly all I had. What I want for you to do is find 2-4 20 min pockets of time to take action for your business.
Now, lemme break down for you WHAT action to actually take. I say pick 2-3 things you can do MOST days & master those.
My actions of choice were: engaging with my community, selling on stories, 2x a week or so I would post to my feed.
But yours could also include: sending an email to your list if you have one, saving your stories & posting them as reels/ Tiktoks, finding new accounts to engage with, etc.
Pick 2-3 tasks & do them most days. If you CAN, spend one day a month working on visibility content: Threads & Tiktok have been the best for me. It takes me about 90 mins every 2-4 weeks when I'm just focusing on getting seen vs selling.
Now, the last thing we need to discuss is POTENCY. If you only have time to post a few story slides a day or 2-3 feed posts a week, those posts need to CARRY you. If you want more support, my membership is where I breakdown exactly how I write content that has my audience buying every time I post. You can check it out with a free trial here.
Okay, for a recap: honor you have less time than others, fine 2-3 20 minute pockets of time to work, choose 2-3 daily tasks, & master them -- that's exactly how I build my business to 6 figures & left my job. If you want more support, be sure to join my free telegram community.
