Short excerpt from a coaching-video discussion on aligning personal goals with business growth. The coach argues that committing to personal boundaries (examples: leave office by 5:45–6:00, no evening or weekend appointments, pick up kids daily) makes professional adjustments manageable and sustainable; growth ambitions (speaker mentions wanting to go from 105 to 180) should not override family/personal commitments. Speakers include the coach, Stacy (as an example who successfully rearranged logistics), Tyler (partner), and references to clients and travel.
He was like, yeah, I did all my personal. But now they don't fit into, like it doesn't fit into my business. Well, he was just like, you know, so I want to go from 100 and where is he?
In there?
So I want to go from 105 to 180. I don't see how I can do that and then commit to the things that I just committed to over here. Yeah. Personally, you know, be more present at home. Don't go past 6 o', clock, leave the office no matter what at 5:45. Don't take any evening appointments, never take a weekend appointment. But if you commit, I promise you, if you commit to those personal things, all the business stuff will work out, you know, and it's not a money thing. So people, I think everyone just thinks that growth for the sake of growth, you know, my business grew. Right. But along the way it wasn't sacrificing, like the really big things. And I can't imagine, I've never been divorced, but I can't imagine a divorce is going to be a good thing for anybody. It's probably a really ugly process. If you've got kids, it's probably. You know, I think about that as like the going away from pain thing. Like, imagine if I get too wrapped up in this and I go on the road and travel and I do seminars and I do half days and I try to sell workshops to bring them into big events. I mean, this could take over 150 of the 168 hours in a week if I let it. But it's just not like some of you asked me to go to your office and I'm just, I will never go to your office unless you're. Where's Tom? Thomas is like a quarter mile from here. So I told him on my way home, I drive past here and I will leave early on a Tuesday and stop by his office. So I will never come to Concord. Where's my Concord? Yeah, well, Asheville. I mean, maybe we could work something out. So I promise you, if you nail down the personal stuff like Stacy, how easy was it to work out? And Tyler may not have loved the transition, but I'll use Stacey as the example. How easy was it to work out the professional stuff, no matter what the implications were when you committed to, like, dropping the. I cry for you, like dropping the kids off and picking the kids up. How hard was the professional stuff to figure out?
Not at all. I just do it for some reason like I couldn't ever figure out before. How to get it done slowly. Kind of going to stay home, more or less. You know, you just have all this, like, guilt. But then once I just kind of like ran in the office one day. I was like, tyler, I want to pick up my kids every day.
Yeah. So Tyler is kick ass partner. So most partnerships don't work. And you know, he's selling a lot of homes. So that's one thing that we're gonna work as long as we need to to see this whole thing through. My first clients, you know, so in the beginning, people came to Charlotte and they get to spend two days with me at my office. We don't do it anymore because it just doesn't fit into my lifestyle anymore. But just committed to some things that we're still sort of working through. And that was one of them. And if you don't do shit like that, you know, none of this other shit matters.
