The problem it solves
People struggle to prioritize effectively, leading to overwhelm and lack of progress in their goals. Existing productivity tools and systems often promote multi-tasking and numerous priorities, which can dilute focus and effectiveness.
How it makes money
One-on-one coaching sessions with package pricing based on session frequency; potential for group workshops.
Skills you need
Coaching experience, knowledge of productivity methodologies (like the Eisenhower Matrix), and excellent communication skills.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has led to increased interest in productivity coaching, as individuals seek effective strategies to manage their time and focus. A concrete first-revenue move is to partner with a popular productivity subreddit, such as r/productivity, to offer exclusive workshops and promote coaching services to engaged members. A potential risk is the high customer acquisition cost associated with building a reputation in a crowded market, which may require significant marketing investment before seeing a return.
