Productivity and Health Coaching Success Story
SMALL BUSINESS OWNER EXPERTLY MANAGES DEMANDING CEO CLIENTS
“Delivery is key when it comes to forming sticky habits.”
The Situation
Sara is also an avid reader, who loves to learn from multiple sources and do her own research. Naturally, she put her problem-solving skills to work to try to find a solution to her productivity challenges. But every time Sara went to the well of Internet research, she came up empty. Or she found herself feeling totally overwhelmed by the range of options available.
The Opportunity
Knowing that the solution was out there somewhere, but being at a loss about how to find it, was really frustrating for Sara. So when her financial advisor suggested she talk to Marcey, Sara was open to the idea.
Initially, Sara sought Marcey’s help with organizing the different email systems she had to use. But in the process of working through Marcey’s Continued Success (one year) coaching program, Sara says, “I found out not only did I have this issue with juggling email, but also, my work habits were horrible. I was literally addicted to checking my email.”
At first, Sara insisted that she needed to check her email during non-work hours. She believed that her CEO clients expected her to respond to their emails at all hours and she took pride in being able to answer their questions quickly. Marcey asked Sara to try not responding after business hours for just two nights to see what would happen. Sara quickly discovered that her clients were responding to her, not the other way around. She realized that they were merely feeding each other’s bad habits. This lesson stuck with Sara.
The Result
Although Sara admits to sometimes struggling to stay out of her inbox, she continues to make a conscious effort to work off-line whenever possible, and she only checks email on her phone as a last resort. She credits Marcey’s zero inbox method, along with other productivity tips, with immediately increasing her income, making her more efficient, and freeing her up to find more clients.
Sara describes Marcey as a “one-stop-shop for best practices.” Instead of wasting hours researching the best way to use Google’s business tools, Marcey shows you what will work and then, provides the “human reminder” we all need to create long-lasting habits.
During the Mexico Private Getaway Intensive, all of the progress Sara made really hit home for her. While it’s easy to imagine spending a week with Marcey would leave anyone feeling self-conscious and unable to measure up, Sara says she never felt judged or guilted into changing her habits.
