Over the past 6 months, I’ve slowly started to cut back on the number of 1:1 calls I was doing.
Not because I didn’t enjoy them or because I didn’t like my clients, but because I found them completely unnecessary.
Oftentimes, what ends up happening, is we have a good chat for maybe 10 minutes or so, and then I feel as though they’re struggling to figure out what to talk about next, and how to fill the next 20 minutes.
We got everything accomplished in those first 10 minutes (or less).
Sometimes clients would say “I don’t really have anything to ask you today”, yet we’d still sit on the phone for 30 minutes talking, and not really accomplishing much.
I want my clients to have rapidfire success. I want them to make a fuckload of money. I want them to change the world with their work.
They can’t do that when they’re sitting on the phone (with me, or anyone else), trying to force themselves to ask a question that they don’t really need an answer to at that moment.
It was a waste of their time to be on the phone for 30 minutes. We got more accomplished during our daily audio messaging than on phone calls, so I decided –
Fuck the calls. They’re gone. 🙂 And since I made that decision, not only has my own productivity skyrocketed (yay for not needing to break my flow because I have a call scheduled in the middle of it!), but something amazing started happening for my clients as well:
They made more money.
They checked in with me more and got more, on the spot support (instead of having to wait until our next schedule call to ask for it).
They had more time to do their purpose work.
Removing 1:1 calls from my private coaching changed the game for everyone involved, in the best possible way.
And here’s what I know for sure:
The clients I work with are independent. They don’t NEED me, and they certaintly don’t NEED to talk to me for 30 minutes on a Tuesday, every week for 8 weeks.
MY CLIENTS CHOOSE TO WORK WITH ME, NOT BECAUSE OF HOW MANY CALLS THEY GET, BUT BECAUSE THEY ACHIEVE MORE JUST BY BEING IN MY ENERGY & THROUGH OUR DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY, THAN THEY DO ON THEIR OWN.
Plain and simple.
Not only have I stopped doing phone calls, but I’ve also stopped doing livestreams.
Again, not because I didn’t enjoy them, but because I found them useless.
Can you honestly say that you regularly sit and watch an hour-long (or even 30 minutes) livestream? I know I don’t - ever.
This is why I switched to doing Instagram Stories. They’re short, to the point, and people actually watch them in their entirety.
LONG ASS LIVESTREAMS ARE BORING AS FUCK.
LONG ASS PHONE CALLS ARE UNNECESSARY.
And so, they’re both gone.
Not to say I’ll never do them again, but they are nowhere in my vision right now.

If you want to work with me as a private client, you’ll get into my private client portal and can message me ANY DAY, ANY TIME for support.
You’ll get WAY more out of this type of mentorship than you will one with 1 x 30 minute call per week for x number of weeks. 😛
My clients not only don’t NEED phone calls, but they don’t really WANT ’em either.
They’d rather just message me when they have a question, and I can send them an audio back, answering it.
That way get what they need without needing to block off a certain amount of time every week, where they need to have prepared a whole list of questions in order to make sure they get the most out of our 30 minute call.
My clients hate talking on the phone. They’d rather send a message, ask a question, get an answer/support, and then get back to business.
My clients are action-takers.
My clients are super independent.
My clients don’t NEED me as their mentor, they WANT me as their mentor.
Where are you doing things in your business that you feel as though you NEED to do, but that you don’t actually enjoy or find useful?
CUT. THAT. SHIT. OUT.
Because here’s the thing:
The longer you continue to go against your soul desires by doing things that don’t feel in alignment for you, the longer you continue to hold your dreams at arms length.
In order words:
You will NEVER achieve what you want, if you’re trying to achieve it through means that don’t feel in alignment to you.
Take a good look at how you’re running your business/living your life right now.
When you wake up in the morning, what is it that you dread doing?
Stop doing that thing. Quit altogether, or have someone else take over doing it for you.
When you’re doing things that don’t feel good, you’re blocking the flow - the flow that is required in order to RECEIVE your deisres (whether that’s money, freedom, clients, a relationship, or a new body).
Quit blocking the flow.
How? By only spending your time on the things that bring you joy.
