The Elusive Commodity: Time
As a business coach, I’ve seen firsthand how time—or the lack thereof—can be the biggest hurdle for business owners. They often find themselves in a perpetual tug-of-war between professional obligations and personal life. For many, the sacrifice of family time becomes a bitter reality. Even those who manage to carve out precious moments for their loved ones frequently lament missing out on lucrative business opportunities.
Whether it’s about planning that long-overdue vacation, spending quality time with family, or focusing on marketing and systemising the business, there never seems to be enough hours in the day. However, I’ve found a solution that has worked wonders for my clients: the Daily Default Planner.
The Daily Default Planner: A Game-Changer
The Daily Default Planner is more than just a scheduling tool. It’s a comprehensive system designed to help business owners prioritise their tasks and delegate effectively. It allows them to focus on the most impactful activities while offloading the mundane tasks to their team. The ultimate goal is to achieve a balanced life where business growth doesn’t come at the expense of personal well-being.

Real-Life Success Stories
Case Study 1: From Chaos to Control
Meet John, the owner of a fast-growing tech startup. When John first approached me, he was overwhelmed. His days were consumed by putting out fires and handling administrative tasks, leaving little time for strategic planning or family. I introduced John to the Daily Default Planner, guiding him to categorize his tasks into essential, delegable, and unnecessary.
Within a month, John began delegating routine tasks to his team. He allocated specific times for strategic planning and family activities. The transformation was remarkable. Not only did John’s business continue to thrive, but he also found time to coach his son’s soccer team, something he never thought possible before.
Case Study 2: The Power of Prioritization
Sara, a marketing consultant, struggled to juggle client work with business development. She felt stuck, unable to grow her business while maintaining quality service. Using the Daily Default Planner, Sara analyzed her daily activities and identified time-draining tasks that could be automated or outsourced.
With a clear plan in place, Sara prioritized client engagements and business growth activities. She hired a virtual assistant to handle administrative work, freeing up her schedule to focus on high-impact tasks. Within six months, Sara’s client base expanded, and she even managed to take a two-week vacation, her first in years.
Coaching Towards Efficiency
When coaching business owners, it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of delegating routine tasks. The business owner needs to concentrate on activities that save time and drive growth. Here’s how to guide your clients effectively:
- Analysis: Help them scrutinize their daily tasks to distinguish between essential and non-essential activities.
- Planning: Assist them in creating a structured plan that allocates time for strategic tasks and personal life.
- Delegation: Encourage them to delegate or outsource routine tasks to their team or external resources.
- Self-Management: Teach them self-discipline techniques to stick to their plan and avoid time-wasting activities.
