How To Be More Efficient By Knowing What to Automate and Delegate (Online Trainer Show #26) The gang’s “mama bird” – Amber – isn’t on the podcast today. Speaking of birds, Ren has a story about a baby bird he saw in a Disney+ nature documentary. Carolina needs to see a doctor about her toe, and Jonathan is hogging all the multicultural family members for himself. However, what are some common errors that personal trainers make? In this episode, the gang talks about automation and delegation. This process necessarily means setting your ego aside to make your program more efficient. Making assumptions about what clients want from you can lead to constraining yourself when you should be delegating. Listen now to find out how to free yourself by starting the process of automating and delegating! In This Episode: Ren’s Disney character voices [00:52] Jonathan’s big news from the Personal Trainer Development Center company camp [08:44] It’s a hard lesson to learn, but you may not be as important as you think you are [20:40] Are you putting an unnecessary constraint on yourself? [22:00] Other ways to be involved with your program…without the constraints [27:14] The messaging, tone, and voice can continue with the right people [29:50] What to do before you delegate [31:49]   “That’s number one: disconnect from your ego for a minute when you’re talking about delegation and automation. Do people actually need to talk to you? With a good structure, they don’t.” – Jonathan Goodman   You’re Not as Important as You Think You Are (…sorry) Your ego will tell you that everyone needs to have direct contact with you, but that’s just not true. You can still be involved with your program, but to scale. Jonathan has ways to step back and let your program run without you being there.   Keep Your Essential Message, Voice, and Tone Everyone will have their own way of sharing your message. Before you start delegating, find your own standard operating procedure, your own guidelines. How do you talk about the things you want to tell people?   It’s All About Communication When you delegate to others, they need to know exactly what you expect from them. For that, you need to know what you’re all about. In this episode, you’ll learn how and what to prepare before you even get started automating and delegating your program to get the best results.   SPONSORS   Get started TODAY with the world-leading certification and business development program for personal trainers, nutrition coaches, and gym owners – The Online Trainer Academy: https://onlinetrainer.com/academy   Enjoy this special offer of 60 days FREE on PT Distinction from The Online Trainer Show! - https://onlinetrainer.com/ptd   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JonGoodmanPTDC
