log 113: coaching

epiphany

Right before my plane from San Diego to Boston I had a moment of minor stupidity. All this time I thought I was a programmer but in reality, I’m a coach. How come I was waiting all this time to start coaching people when I had all the tools to start immediately. All the exercise videos, the knowledge, the time. I was waiting for no reason. Of course, it’s another thing to add to the plate but it just made so much sense. I knew what to do, how to do it, and I could make money right away. How could I have not seen this path faster? So right as I was taking off, I reached out to a bunch of friends and family offering my new service. Once I landed, I set up all the infrastructure and started coaching. This opportunity is great for me to chase the client and get more experience coaching. Coaching hypothetical people while writing my algorithms are so difficult because people are made up. I don’t know how real people would react to the workouts I plan for them. The more experience I gain coaching real people will help boost the accuracy and viability of my workout builders. However, because of my enrollment into school and my app, I decided to limit the number of people I train. I don’t want to get so caught up in training that I can’t work on anything else. I need to be able to train people, work on my app, and focus on school.
