Don't Join the 5 am Club! · 1-Hour Bookkeeper

Don't Join the 5 am Club!

I was up yesterday at 5:00am. Had a 1-on-1 coaching call at 6. (He's East Coast and 9 am EST was the only time he could do it - plus he said he desperately needed to talk to me). We'll call him Joe.

As soon as we get on the call Joe tells me the program is terrible (now keep in mind he gain 6 clients during the 12 week self study program and another 11 during the Preferred Partners Program - 17 new clients).

Yes everything with his (let me say it again 17 clients in less than 6 months) was fine. He really liked his clients.

The income was great. He is now consistently bringing in $6500 after expenses and it's even better because his wife was able to leave her P/T job and is now home with their kiddos (which saves then an additional $1800 per month) Plus she's super happy - so all good there.

He feel confident in his skills both as a bookkeeper and his ability to get new client. Double win there!

Seriously at this point I was at a loss - what was the real problem.

So I asked.

He tells me he can't sleep. It's now 6:30am and ALL I can think about is sleep so that felt a bit ironic to me.

Excitement? No

Worry? No

Here's what he said, "as soon as I lay down my head fills with all of these thoughts and ideas."

Yep I get that!

So here's the solution - keep a notebook & pen by your bed. Write all the ideas, worries & concerns down. Then in the morning revisit the list. What items do you need to take action on? Put a plan in place - and move on!

Oh and I talked to Joe this morning (again at 6) - Thank you! I slept great last night!

While there are so many benefits we reap as entrepreneurs when we embrace our role it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Make a list and create a plan. You'll be surprised at how well such a simple trick works!
