Check out these episode highlights: 01:00 - John’s ideal client: There are typically two cohorts. So, one is their professional advisors, lawyers, accountants, and health practitioners. We all provide professional advice. The advice is different, but the business is the same. 01:24 - The problem he helps solve: Well, generally, their challenges around time, team, or money. So, time sounds like, "I've got too much to do and not enough time to do it. I can't get it done. I don't know, won't get done." Team, nowadays, is- top of the list is recruiting. It's very hard to find good people. 02:17 - The symptoms of the problem: Well, typically, the manifestations are in their business, but the real problems are in their life.

And because they don't know that there are other options, and so that's the part where they eventually, the metaphor I use is "They're hitting their head against the ceiling of their business or the ceiling of their capabilities", and they don't know any other way to go.” 04:23 - John’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): You know, one of the common things I do when I first start with a business owner is work through an exercise to help them identify five to seven hours, 10 hours a week of work they do they shouldn't be doing. And there's a bit of a survey or an audit they can do or there's a hack. 05:47 - John’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): To get more advice on how to free yourself from your business, click here: w5coaching.com/freedom-eBook 06:42 - Q: Business, you would go down the right path if you use this three-legged stool.
