    It can be hard to imagine being able to move in any direction when your calendar is completely full.

    It’s scary to see you’ve reached your maximum when you have a growth mentality like I do.

    I remember when my calendar got full doing personal training and yoga.

    I could’ve taken on 100 hours of client work and it was NOT what I imagined it to be like.

    So I was left thinking, how am I actually going to max out and grow my business without working 40,50, 60 hours a week?

    Let’s first define what completely full is.

    I hear this all the time, but then when I open up someone’s schedule I see hole after hole after hole.

    Here’s my Client Capacity formula for determining anyone capacity:

    Take the number of hours you actually saw clients over a 4 week period and divide that by the total number of hours that you actually worked = this equals your client capacity.

    You may be wondering what’s the ideal client capacity? Right around 80%+

    But you may not be at 80% and still feel like you have a full load of clients…those are a new set of problems.

    You have a full client load who isn’t using your services correctly: You have a full load of clients, but you have far too many cancellations or reschedules.

    Or you have fewer clients than you think.

    Listen to Episode 098 and you’ll learn:

    • Why a long term package will better serve your sales
    • How to use referrals on a day-to-day basis
    • When is the right time for a price bump
    • How do you increase prices without offending long term clients
    • How packages increase your customer’s frequency (and results!)
    • How to break down what you pay your employees
    • The way to properly set up your processes
    • Why hire slow and fire fast
