Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How can I grow my business without working more hours?

Short answer:
Focus on the 20% of activities that generate 80% of results and streamline or outsource the rest.

Expanded answer:
A lot of people confuse being busy with being profitable. The truth? Only a handful of activities actually move the revenue needle. The key is to identify those and double down. That means more time on client work, sales conversations, and building scalable systems. You spend less time drowning in admin or tasks someone else could handle.

At Red Zebra Coaching, I help you cut the noise, focus on what matters, and grow your revenue without losing your sanity (or your weekends).

Question: What's the best way to deal with burnout?

Short answer:
Focus on what fuels revenue, set firm boundaries, and build systems so your business or team doesn’t rely on you for every little thing.

Expanded answer:
Burnout isn't a badge of honor. It's a business risk. It usually comes from trying to sprint in every direction at once. The fix isn’t more hustle. It’s creating smarter structures. Sustainable growth happens when you:

• Lead with strategy, not stress. Work proactively from a clear plan instead of reacting to every fire.

• Protect your energy. Schedule real downtime for rest, family, and personal life. That's non-negotiable.

• Delegate what drains you. Hand off tasks that don’t generate revenue or aren’t in your zone of genius.

• Stay accountable. Build in systems and support to keep yourself from slipping back into burnout habits.

At Red Zebra Coaching, I help business owners, leaders, and teams set up these guardrails so they can actually grow without burnout.

Question: What’s the most effective time management system?

Short answer:
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The most effective system is the one that fits YOU, your natural energy patterns, work style, and business priorities. It's why cookie-cutter tools and trendy templates tend to fail.

Expanded answer:
Time management is highly dependent on the individual. That’s why I use a Time Management Profile to uncover when you work best, how you prefer to work, and what truly matters in your business. From there, we match you with tools, rhythms, and habits that align with your style. The result? A system that actually sticks, because it’s built around you, not forced on you.

Question: How do I know if I’m spending time on the wrong things?

Short answer:
If it doesn’t generate revenue now or set you up for future growth, it’s probably the wrong thing.

Expanded answer:
Many entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders get stuck in busywork loops, responding to emails, drowning in admin, or running from task to task. The simplest way to know if something is worth your time is to ask:

• Does this generate income?

• Does this set me up for future growth?

• Is this the best use of my time today?

If the answer is “no,” that task is a strong candidate to delegate, automate, or eliminate. At Red Zebra Coaching, I help you cut through the noise so your time goes where it matters most.

Question: How can I balance my business and personal life?

Short answer:
Setting boundaries, aligning your business with your values, and treating rest as part of the growth plan.

Expanded answer:
Work-life balance doesn’t happen by accident. It requires:

• Clear priorities between work and life

• Boundaries around time and availability

• A strategy that keeps growth manageable

• Support systems that help you stay accountable

At Red Zebra Coaching, I help entrepreneurs design businesses that grow without consuming everything else that matters.

Question: What is business coaching, and how does it work?

Short answer:
Business coaching helps you cut through the noise, clarify your goals, focus on what actually drives profit, and build systems that support sustainable growth.

Expanded answer:
Think of a coach as your thinking partner and accountability ally. At Red Zebra Coaching, I don’t hand out cookie-cutter advice. I work with you to create personalized strategies that fit your business. Together, we’ll sharpen your action plan, focus your efforts, and build the systems you need to stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with confidence.

Question: What’s the value of working with a business coach?

Short answer:
A coach uncovers what you can’t see, focuses you on what matters, and keeps you accountable to the business (and life) you actually want.

Expanded answer:
The real value of business coaching isn’t in more revenue. (Although it's a definite perk!) It’s finally leading your business and/or team with clarity, confidence, and less chaos. With the right business coach, you’ll gain:

• Clear direction and focus

• Strategies that drive profitability

• Systems that free up your time

• Accountability that keeps you on track

• Renewed energy and momentum

At Red Zebra Coaching, I help you create a business that pays well and feels sustainable.

Question: What makes Red Zebra Coaching different from other programs?

Short answer:
I give you tailored strategies, real-world tools, and transferable skills so you can cut through the chaos, run your business with confidence, and keep growing long after we finish working together.

Expanded answer:
Most programs lean on one-size-fits-all strategies, or worse, create dependency so you have to keep paying to benefit. At Red Zebra Coaching, I take the opposite approach. My focus is on clarity, profitability, and sustainability. I give you the tools and skills to continue growing long after our sessions end.

You’ll leave with a roadmap that fits your strengths, needs, and lifestyle goals. Growth feels doable, energizing, and most importantly, yours to own.

Question: Who does Red Zebra Coaching support?

Short answer:
I work with established solopreneurs, small business owners, and leaders who want more profit without more hustle.

Expanded answer:
My clients aren’t chasing their first sale—they’re already running a business or leading a team. The problem? They’re juggling too many responsibilities, pulled in different directions, and losing sight of what drives real results. If you’re craving clarity, ready to simplify, and want a smarter way to grow, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll cut the noise, focus on what matters, and build a plan that helps you work less while achieving more.
