| 0:00.0 | Our mission today, if you choose to accept it, is to be 100% clear on how many clients you can |
| 0:12.0 | handle with your current team, even if you are a mighty team of one. Then we will decide |
| 0:19.6 | how many more clients you need to be at capacity. I have a free download |
| 0:25.4 | available called a client vision board. It's one of the simplest tools I personally use and honestly |
| 0:32.5 | one of the most effective. We share it with our clients in our Six Figures Lab Group coaching program, |
| 0:38.9 | and you can get it today by going to bizchicks.com slash vision. I'll share more about |
| 0:46.0 | how we use it at the end of this episode. All right. Let's unpack our mission. |
| 0:57.7 | Thank you. Let's unpack our mission. What is capacity? |
| 1:00.4 | It's the maximum number of clients you can have at any one time before you hire more team members. |
| 1:07.5 | To say it in a different way, capacity is the number of clients you can serve while |

| 1:33.1 | At the same time, remember, your capacity might be very different than one of your |
| 1:38.9 | competitors with the same size team because the amount of hours you each work in the business may vary. It may be |
| 1:47.8 | very different. So it's important to put your blinders on and stop looking at others. You do you. |
| 1:59.3 | Why do I care about capacity? It is important to know what your company can handle with the |
| 2:06.0 | current resources available. That includes the time of your team, your time, your software, |
| 2:12.1 | your systems. I like to help my clients fill their client rosters to capacity and also figure out creative ways we can help them get more capacity with their current resources or by adding less expensive resources to their business. |
| 2:30.5 | By looking at your capacity, it helps you understand the bottlenecks in your business. |
| 2:37.1 | Is it your time that caps the number of clients you have? |
| 2:41.5 | If so, that is something we could explore in the future. |
