Are you stuck in the never-ending cycle of trading time for money, constantly working but never feeling like you’re making the progress you deserve? Imagine if you could break free, scale your business, and finally create the time freedom and financial success you’ve been striving for. In today’s episode, I’m going to show you how to do exactly that. I’ll dive deep into my personal journey of transitioning from the one-on-one coaching model to building a scalable business. Plus, I’ll share the powerful stories of clients like Margie, Sarah, and Randy, who made this same shift and are now thriving.

Welcome to the Lifestyle Business Quest Podcast! I'm Travis Greenlee your host and I’m so excited to have you with me today. If this is your first time tuning in, I’m here to help passionate coaches like you grow thriving, freedom-based businesses that allow you to enjoy life on your terms while making a massive impact. Today, we’re talking about one of the biggest pain points for most coaches: trading time for money.

For many years, I was in that exact situation—working one-on-one with clients, pouring all of my energy into helping them succeed, but hitting a hard ceiling on my income and freedom. I was working hard, but no matter how many clients I took on, there was only so much time in the day. It was exhausting and limiting. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’ll share how I broke free from that trap by developing the **Lifestyle Business Quest Personal Coaching Accountability Course Model**, a scalable coaching system that’s now helped over 500 coaches earn $250,000 or more per year, all while reclaiming their time and freedom. You’ll also hear from some of my incredible clients who made this shift and saw their businesses skyrocket.

Today’s episode is about more than just making more money—it’s about creating a business that gives you the time freedom to actually enjoy your life. I’ll share my own journey of moving away from the one-on-one model that kept me working long hours, and how that frustration led me to develop a system that can help you scale your coaching business without sacrificing your personal life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how to create a **scalable business model** that leverages your time, delivers real transformation for your clients, and allows you to finally achieve the freedom and income you’ve been dreaming of.

Let me take you back to when I first started as a coach. Like many of you, I was passionate about helping people, and one-on-one coaching felt like the best way to make a real difference. I was deeply invested in every client, working with them week after week, watching their progress unfold. But there was a downside: the hours. I was spending countless hours working with each client individually, and after a few years, I realized something—no matter how many clients I booked, my income was capped. There are only so many hours in the day, and that meant I was limited by time.

For a while, I thought working harder was the solution. So, I packed my calendar, squeezing in as many clients as possible, often working late into the night. And it was exhausting. But the worst part? I was sacrificing my freedom—the very thing I’d started this business to achieve. I wasn’t traveling as much, I wasn’t spending as much time with my wife, and skiing—one of my greatest passions—became something I only did in between client sessions. My business was running me, not the other way around.

Then, in 2008, everything changed. The recession hit, and almost overnight, my fully booked calendar went blank. I went from having a thriving seven-figure business to wondering how I was going to pay the bills. It was a terrifying time. I remember the sleepless nights, the anxiety, and the realization that I had built a business that was completely dependent on me showing up every single day. When the economy crashed, so did my income.

That was my turning point. I knew that if I didn’t make some big changes, I would always be stuck trading time for money. I needed to build a business that wasn’t dependent on me being there all the time, and that’s when I decided to shift from one-on-one coaching to a **scalable model**. I studied the top entrepreneurs who had figured this out, and I started designing a system that would allow me to serve more clients, make a bigger impact, and finally reclaim my freedom.

I spent years developing the system that eventually became the Lifestyle Business Quest Personal Coaching Accountability Course Model. This model was designed to solve the exact problems I had faced as a one-on-one coach: it needed to be scalable, it needed to deliver real transformation for clients, and it needed to give me back my time.

The key to this model’s success is that it blends high-touch personal coaching** with high-tech automation. I didn’t want to lose the personal connection I had with my clients, but I also knew I couldn’t keep doing everything manually. So, I built a system where the core content—the information and strategies that I was repeating to each client—could be delivered through an automated course. But here’s the magic: the course was designed with built-in **accountability milestones** where clients would check in with me at key points in their journey.

This allowed me to guide them through a structured process without having to be there every step of the way. Clients still got the support and accountability they needed, but I was no longer tied to my calendar. This gave me the ability to serve dozens, even hundreds of clients simultaneously. I finally had the leverage I needed to grow my business without sacrificing my personal life.

Once I implemented this system, my business transformed. Not only was I able to help more clients than ever before, but they were also getting better results because the accountability built into the program kept them on track. I wasn’t burning out, and for the first time in years, I had the freedom to enjoy my life again. I was skiing every morning, traveling with my wife, and running a business that no longer controlled me.

And that’s what I teach now—how to create a scalable, freedom-based business model that doesn’t require you to trade hours for dollars.

Let’s talk about Margie. Margie’s story is one of transformation, and it’s one that resonates with so many coaches out there. Before we worked together, Margie was working 18-hour days, doing everything herself. She was serving every type of client she could get, juggling all the tasks of running a business, and feeling constantly overwhelmed. She was at a breaking point—burning the candle at both ends and seeing little progress.

When we first spoke, Margie expressed how stuck she felt. She was doing all the work, but her business wasn’t growing. Worse, she had no time left for herself. She had lost the clarity on why she even started coaching in the first place. Margie’s situation wasn’t unique—many coaches find themselves in this cycle of overwork, where they’re too busy serving clients to actually grow their business.

We started by focusing on clarity. I asked Margie the hard questions: What type of clients do you love working with? What are your non-negotiables in your business? And what do you truly want your life to look like? Once we got clear on her goals and ideal clients, we began to simplify her business. Margie didn’t need to be serving everyone—she needed to focus on a **niche** that energized her and allowed her to deliver high-value results.

Next, we implemented my Lifestyle Business Quest system. Instead of working one-on-one with every client, Margie developed a **group coaching program that allowed her to serve multiple clients at once, all while maintaining the high-touch personal connection she’s known for. We automated her marketing and lead generation, taking the burden of constantly chasing clients off her plate.

Within a few months, Margie’s business completely transformed. She was no longer working 18-hour days. She had a focused, scalable business that allowed her to work fewer hours while serving more clients. Her revenue doubled, and for the first time in years, Margie had the freedom to enjoy her life outside of work.

She’s not just a coach anymore—Margie is now a **business leader** with a clear vision, a targeted audience, and a thriving business that allows her to make a bigger impact without sacrificing her own well-being.

Next, let’s talk about Sarah. Sarah had been a coach for years, but she was struggling to grow her business. She was stuck in a cycle of **inconsistent clients**, barely making ends meet, and feeling like she was constantly hustling just to keep her head above water. Like many coaches, Sarah was passionate about helping people, but the one-on-one model was limiting her ability to reach more clients and earn a sustainable income.

When Sarah joined the **Lifestyle Business Quest**, her goal was clear: she wanted to scale her business, but she didn’t want to lose the personal touch that made her coaching so effective. She feared that moving to a scalable model would mean losing the deep connections she had with her clients.

Together, we designed a **hybrid coaching model** for Sarah. We automated her lead generation, streamlined her onboarding process, and built a **group coaching program** that allowed her to serve more clients without sacrificing the quality of her coaching. But what really made the difference for Sarah was integrating **accountability** into her program. By incorporating regular check-ins and personalized support at key points in the client journey, Sarah was able to deliver the same high-touch coaching experience in a group setting.

The results were nothing short of remarkable. Sarah went from enrolling just two or three clients per year to enrolling 3-4 clients per month. Her monthly revenue skyrocketed to between $10,000 and $20,000, and for the first time in her career, Sarah felt like she had control over her business and her future.

More importantly, Sarah reclaimed her time. She was no longer spending every waking hour hustling for clients. With her new scalable model in place, Sarah had the freedom to spend more time with her family, travel, and focus on growing her business in a sustainable way.

Sarah’s transformation is proof that you can build a scalable business without losing the personal connection that makes coaching so powerful. By combining **automation** with **high-touch support**, Sarah created a business that not only serves more clients but also allows her to live the life she’s always dreamed of.

Finally, I want to share Randy’s story. Randy had been coaching as a **hobby** for six years, but he wasn’t seeing the kind of results that would allow him to take his business full-time. He loved helping people, but his income was inconsistent, and he was struggling to make the leap from hobbyist to professional coach.

When Randy joined the Lifestyle Business Quest, he was at a crossroads. He was passionate about coaching, but he couldn’t figure out how to turn that passion into a thriving business. Like many coaches, Randy believed that to truly help his clients, he needed to be with them every step of the way. But that one-on-one model was limiting his ability to grow.

We started by shifting Randy’s mindset. Instead of viewing coaching as a hobby, Randy needed to treat it like a business. Together, we restructured his coaching program, moving from a one-on-one model to a **scalable hybrid model** that allowed him to serve multiple clients at once. We also revamped his **pricing** and created a **premium offer** that reflected the true value of his work.

The transformation was incredible. Randy went from struggling to book a handful of clients each year to enrolling **dozens of clients** per month. His income became predictable, and for the first time, Randy had the confidence to step into his role as a professional coach. He was no longer chasing clients—clients were coming to him, eager to work with him because of the high-value, results-driven program he had created.

Randy’s story is a testament to the power of scaling your business. By shifting his mindset, streamlining his processes, and leveraging automation, Randy was able to turn his passion into a full-time, thriving business. He’s now living the life he always dreamed of—serving more clients, earning a sustainable income, and enjoying the freedom that comes with running a scalable coaching business.

I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when coaches make the shift from trading time for money to building a scalable business. Not only do you free up your time, but you also unlock the potential for true financial freedom. This is the model that I’ve used to help over 500 coaches reach $250,000+ per year, and it’s the same model that allowed me to reclaim my own freedom after being trapped in the one-on-one coaching grind.

If you’re ready to stop hustling for every single client, and you want to build a business that allows you to make a bigger impact, earn more income, and finally live the life you’ve been dreaming of, I encourage you to take the next step.
