When someone books a call with you, do you actually show up?

Sounds obvious, right? 

But you'd be shocked how many coaches ghost on scheduled calls.

I call this being OTB, or "on the ball." 

It means doing things when you're supposed to do them (crazy concept, I know!) 

A coach recently booked a call with me ... and he didn't show up. 

Two days later sent a casual "sorry, I had a conflict" email asking to reschedule.

I said no.

Not because I'm a jerk - but because if you can't respect my time for a free strategy call I don't expect you to respect future calls. 

My rule: 

I wait 5 minutes for our scheduled time. 

That's it - after that, I'm gone. 

Some coaches wait 10 minutes. Fine. But I'm not sitting around for 20 or 40 minutes like I used to back when I first started online. 

Here's the thing - if you show up when you say you will, you immediately separate yourself from a huge chunk of coaches who don't.

In my latest Natural Born Coaches episode, I break down this and other acronyms that'll help your coaching business.
