I hate dealing with flaky people.
They’re like “fingernails on a chalkboard” to me.
They frustrate me and make me feel like pulling the hair out of my head.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of them in the online space.
When I started my coaching business back in 2014, I was surprised by the number of people who did flaky things like being 20 minutes late for a scheduled call (with no reason given) or not show up to the call at all.
Coming from a background in real estate, I was used to being on time for appointments. I knew that if I was late (or didn’t bother to show up), that prospect had hundreds of other agents who would like to have their business.
I showed up five or ten minutes early to every appointment, even on crazy days when I had ten of them back-to-back. And I still show up for calls and appointments early nowadays.
I’m not sure why there’s such a nonchalant attitude held by a lot of coaches online, but I quickly learned that you can waste a lot of time on people who aren’t serious about business.
So I put measures in place to protect myself from the flakes, and over the years this has saved me hundreds of hours (and lots of hairs on my head).
I’m going over how I handle flaky people in the August issue of the Secret Coach Club newsletter.
If you do what I do, you too can save yourself a ton of time and stress.
The deadline to get it is Tuesday (at midnight EST).
