Systemize to Scale — How I Run My Coaching Biz Without Burnout

As a financial strategist, legacy coach, and speaker, my time is my most valuable asset.

The truth is: if you’re doing everything yourself—client follow-up, scheduling, budgeting, and content—you’ll burn out before you ever build something sustainable.

Systemizing your coaching business isn’t about removing the human touch. It’s about creating repeatable, reliable processes that let you serve better and scale faster.

System 1: Scheduling That Respects Everyone’s Time

Tool: Calendly (or Acuity)

Why it matters: No more back-and-forth emails. Clients can book a discovery call or session instantly based on your availability.

Pro Tip: Link this in every CTA you post and connect it to automated reminders.

System 2: Client Relationship Management (CRM)

Tool: Notion (or Dubsado, HubSpot for advanced)

Track:

  • Current clients

  • Notes from calls

  • Goals, progress, and document uploads

Pro Tip: Set up recurring templates to track check-ins and goals with ease.

System 3: Automation = Peace of Mind

Tool Stack: Zapier or Make, Google Workspace, and Email Platforms (Flodesk, Mailchimp, etc.)

What to automate:

  • Onboarding email after someone books

  • Reminders before sessions

  • Follow-ups after coaching calls

Time saved = hours/week

Automation isn’t impersonal—it’s intentional.

Weekly Operating Rhythm

A simple routine to keep your business and energy in check:

  • Monday: Review client list, send check-ins

  • Tuesday-Thursday: Coaching & content

  • Friday: Admin & planning

  • Sunday: 30-min planning block (map priorities)

Bonus Tools I Use

  • Loom (for sending client videos)

  • Notion (everything from dashboards to SOPs)

  • Google Drive (for client docs)

Closing Thoughts

Systemizing is what turns a solo coach into a CEO.

It gives you space to think, serve deeply, and grow with integrity.
