In this episode we are going to talk About Time. No, not the fabulous movie starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnal Gleeson (although I’d love to chat about movies!) we’re going to be talking about the time you have each and every day. I loved listening back to this episode because Dale and I are in quite different places with time. I have quite a lot of time and often find myself battling with problems around that where as Dale has a full time job and a full time business and often find himself quite time poor (headed on the way to burn out as he puts it). Most new trainers are in the same boat as Dale. It’s challenging to earn a full time wage right after becoming qualified so we tend to work a job and run our training stuff on the side. The problem is, as Dale points out, that when we get busy our diet, training and other important things go out the window which isn’t a great thing for people whose job it is to get other people to focus on these things. However, take time out for yourself is one of the best things you can do for the other people in your life. Dale tells us about how he’s freed up a bunch of time by outsourcing a lot of the fiddly work in his business like marketing material and advertising. ‘By letting go, I’m much happier and in a much better space’ I talk about how I recently outsource my own training by hiring a Personal Trainer to train me. He writes my programs and keeps me accountable which means I don’t have to spend time or willpower trying to work out what to train. Dale trains with a group of friends who are trainers to keep himself accountable.
