If you’re a coach who's passionate about building a thriving business but terrified of burning out along the way, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving deep into what I like to call "The Freedom Formula"—a proven approach to growing a $250k lifestyle business that offers both financial freedom and personal well-being. Imagine earning a great income while enjoying the life you love, with plenty of time for family, fun, and adventure. It’s not just a dream—it’s entirely possible, and I’m here to show you how.

Welcome back to another episode of the Lifestyle Business Quest Podcast! I'm Travis Greenlee, your host and I’m excited to have you here today because we’re tackling a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: building a successful, profitable business without sacrificing your health, happiness, or sanity. 

As someone who’s been in the business world for over 25 years, I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and grind, only to end up exhausted and burnt out. But I’ve also discovered that there’s a better way—a way to leverage your time, energy, and resources to create a business that not only provides financial freedom but also gives you the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore the key principles of "The Freedom Formula," share real-life success stories of clients who’ve mastered this approach, and discuss a powerful tool that has been a game-changer for my clients: the Personal Coaching Accountability Course. Plus, I’ll leave you with three practical action steps you can take today to start applying these principles in your own business. So, let’s get started!

Before we dive into the principles of "The Freedom Formula," I want to share a bit of my own story. You see, I wasn’t always living the freedom-based lifestyle I enjoy today. In fact, there was a time when I was trapped in the very cycle I now help my clients escape from—working long hours, grinding it out day after day, and feeling like I was constantly on the edge of burnout.

Let me take you back to 2008. At that time, I had built a successful seven-figure business. My calendar was full, I had a waiting list of clients, and life was good—at least on the surface. But when the Great Recession hit, everything changed. Almost overnight, my business was turned upside down. Clients started dropping off, my income plummeted, and the stress was overwhelming. I went from living the dream to barely holding on.

I remember the sleepless nights, the fear of losing everything I had worked so hard to build, and the sinking feeling in my stomach as I watched my business crumble. My wife and I were in tears, wondering how we were going to get through it. It was one of the darkest times of my life.

But I knew one thing for sure—I wasn’t going back to a 9-to-5 job. I had tasted the freedom of being my own boss, and I was determined to find a way to rebuild, but this time, I wanted to do it differently. I wanted to create a business that was not just successful, but sustainable. A business that would allow me to enjoy life, spend time with my family, and pursue my passions without the constant fear of burnout.

So, I went on a quest. I studied the top leaders in the industry—those who had automated systems and were earning seven figures while working just a few days a week. I learned everything I could about leveraging time, automating processes, and building a business that could thrive even in challenging times. It wasn’t easy, but I eventually developed a system that allowed me to rebuild my business from the ground up.

Today, I ski over 100 days a year, spend quality time with my wife, and travel whenever we want—all while running a thriving business that brings in well over $250k annually. This is the lifestyle I now help my clients create, and it’s all possible through what I call "The Freedom Formula."

Let’s kick things off by talking about leverage. Leverage is the secret sauce that allows you to scale your business without adding more hours to your workweek. It’s about working smarter, not harder, and finding ways to maximize your impact while minimizing your effort.

Think of leverage as the ability to multiply your results without multiplying your workload. For example, instead of working with clients one-on-one, you could create a group coaching program or an online course that allows you to serve dozens, or even hundreds, of clients simultaneously. This not only increases your income but also frees up your time.

Another form of leverage is delegation. As entrepreneurs, we often fall into the trap of trying to do everything ourselves. But the truth is, there are only so many hours in a day, and if you’re spending your time on tasks that could be handled by someone else, you’re limiting your growth. Whether it’s hiring a virtual assistant, outsourcing your marketing, or automating your client management, delegation is key to creating a freedom-based business.

In my own business, I’ve found that leveraging technology is one of the most effective ways to scale. Automation tools, CRM systems, and project management software allow me to streamline my operations and focus on what I do best—coaching and mentoring my clients. The result? More income, more impact, and more time for the things that truly matter.

But there's another powerful tool that I’ve found to be essential in leveraging my time while still providing unmatched support for my clients: the Personal Coaching Accountability Course model.

One of the most significant shifts I’ve made in my business—and one that I teach all my clients—is the creation of a Personal Coaching Accountability Course. This model allows you to deliver high-value coaching while automating the majority of the fulfillment and support process, freeing you up to focus on other areas of your life and business.

The idea behind the Personal Coaching Accountability Course is simple: provide your clients with a structured, step-by-step program that guides them through the transformation they seek, with built-in accountability to ensure they stay on track. The key is to leverage a software system that does 95% of the heavy lifting, from delivering content to tracking client progress and sending automated reminders.

Here’s how it works: when a client enrolls in your course, they gain access to a series of modules that walk them through your coaching process. Each module includes videos, worksheets, and exercises designed to help them achieve their goals. The software tracks their progress, sends them reminders to complete tasks, and even notifies you when they reach certain milestones.

This approach has several benefits. First, it allows you to serve more clients at once without sacrificing the quality of your coaching. Instead of spending hours each week meeting with clients individually, you can guide them through the process in a group or self-paced format, with the accountability system ensuring they stay on track.

Second, it frees up your time. With the software handling the day-to-day client management tasks, you’re able to focus on the higher-level aspects of your business, such as marketing, strategy, and scaling. Or, you can use that time to enjoy the things you love—whether that’s traveling, spending time with family, or hitting the slopes.

Third, it provides a better experience for your clients. By having a clear, structured program to follow, your clients are more likely to stay engaged and achieve the results they’re looking for. The accountability features ensure they don’t fall off track, and the automated support allows them to feel supported without requiring constant one-on-one attention.

One of my clients, Paul, was able to completely transform his business using this model. Before joining the Lifestyle Business Quest, Paul was spending countless hours on client sessions, struggling to keep up with the demand while still trying to grow his business. After implementing the Personal Coaching Accountability Course, he was able to serve more clients in less time, automate the majority of his client interactions, and free up his schedule. Today, Paul’s business is thriving, and he’s enjoying more time with his family and pursuing his passions.

The Personal Coaching Accountability Course is a game-changer. It’s the ultimate tool for leveraging your time while providing unmatched support for your clients. By automating the fulfillment process, you can scale your business, increase your income, and still have the freedom to live life on your terms.

Now, let’s move on to some real-life success stories. I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible coaches and entrepreneurs who have used "The Freedom Formula" and the Personal Coaching Accountability Course model to transform their businesses and their lives. Let me share a few of their stories.

First, there’s Nina, a passionate coach who was struggling to scale her business. She was working long hours, serving clients one-on-one, and feeling completely burnt out. After joining the Lifestyle Business Quest, she learned how to leverage her time by creating a group coaching program and implementing the Personal Coaching Accountability Course. By automating her client acquisition and onboarding processes, she was able to enroll more clients in less time and with less effort. Today, Nina’s business is thriving, and she’s enjoying the financial freedom and personal time she always dreamed of.

Then there’s Paul, who, as I mentioned earlier, spent years trying to build his business without much success. He was overwhelmed by the complexity of marketing and client management, and it was taking a toll on his well-being. After implementing the systems and strategies we teach, including the Personal Coaching Accountability Course, Paul was able to simplify his business operations and focus on what he does best—coaching. He automated his lead generation, client management, and coaching delivery, which allowed him to scale his business quickly. Paul is now earning a consistent $250k+ per year, and he’s doing it without the stress and exhaustion that once held him back.

Finally, I’d like to share the story of Margie, a coach who was on the verge of burnout when she joined our program. She was working 18-hour days, trying to juggle everything on her own. Through our coaching, Margie learned how to delegate tasks, automate her client management, and set up a sustainable business model using the Personal Coaching Accountability Course. Today, she’s serving more clients than ever, earning a great income, and finally has the time to enjoy her life outside of work.

These stories are just a few examples of what’s possible when you apply "The Freedom Formula" and leverage tools like the Personal Coaching Accountability Course in your business. The key takeaway is this: you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to achieve financial success. With the right strategies and systems in place, you can have both.

So, let’s recap what we’ve covered today. We talked about the importance of leverage in creating a freedom-based business, how to automate your client acquisition and management to free up your time, the power of the Personal Coaching Accountability Course model to provide unmatched client support while giving you more freedom, and shared inspiring stories of coaches who have successfully applied these principles to build thriving $250k lifestyle businesses without burning out.

The key to "The Freedom Formula" is finding ways to work smarter, not harder. By leveraging your time, delegating tasks, automating processes, and utilizing tools like the Personal Coaching Accountability Course, you can create a business that not only provides financial freedom but also gives you the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Before we wrap up, I want to leave you with three practical action steps you can take today to start implementing "The Freedom Formula" in your own business:

1. Identify Areas for Leverage: Take a close look at your current business activities and identify where you can leverage your time. Consider where you can delegate tasks, automate processes, or create group programs to serve more clients with less effort.

2. tart Building Your Personal Coaching Accountability Course: Begin outlining the structure of your course. Think about the key modules your clients need to achieve their desired results, and explore software options that can automate the delivery and support processes. This will be a game-changer in freeing up your time while providing unmatched value to your clients.

3. Automate Your Client Acquisition Process: If you’re still handling lead generation and follow-ups manually, it’s time to automate. Set up email sequences, use a CRM to manage leads, and consider using social media ads or content marketing to drive traffic to your automated funnel. This will ensure a steady stream of prospects entering your pipeline without requiring constant attention.
