How does a business coach help?
A Business Coach can fill in knowledge gaps; help you see your blind spots; save you money on your business; get clear on where you’re stuck and what to do about it; uncover obstacles that are getting in your way; support you in mastering your psychology; or bring your focus and attention to priorities, next steps and big picture.
Doesn't this get expensive?
One of the foundational concepts of business ownership is the principle of ROI, Return on Investment. Estimating how much money you are likely to make from a spending decision is key to knowing how you can make intelligent choices about where to invest. Business owners I work with typically experience a 20-30% increase in their profit in the first year, so you can weigh that against what you would pay for the service, and then you will know whether this can be considered expensive or worthwhile.
How do I know I'll get results?
I provide an Unconditional Happiness Guarantee, so if anything doesn’t satisfy you in the first 30 days we’re working together, you will receive a full refund. I want you to be completely happy with this service, and won’t settle for anything less.
Is this about positive thinking?
There is certainly nothing wrong with thinking positively, visualizing, or using affirmations; any great achievement begins with an idea. Getting clear on your goals goes beyond simple positive thinking though. Business Coaching is focused on strategy and action, not just thinking about things.
Do you help people at my stage of business growth?
I am a good match for people who are expanding their businesses, whether they are growing from being a solo entrepreneur and looking for more clients, or perhaps hiring help for the first time; some people I work with are adding to an established staff. The larger businesses I work with have up to 20-30 employees. Prior to becoming self-employed, I managed departments of about that size.
How can you help me when you haven't done the kind of work I do?
Through my 10 years as a successful business owner, I have mastered and applied a body of knowledge that fits all kinds of business. I have worked with people in diverse service industry and retail settings and helped them get great results. There are certain procedures to follow, principles and concepts that yield predictable outcomes. I also just love and have a great deal of passion, enthusiasm and curiosity about business. Moving into coaching entrepreneurs has allowed me a mid-life career transition, so I bring a lifetime of experience to this work. Ask me- you may be surprised at what fields I am familiar with!
Aren't growing pains in business inevitable?
Well, growth causes us to have to deal with an unfamiliar set of conditions. Whether it has to cause pain or not is another matter! Growth in business can be challenging but is also exciting, and a sign that we are doing something right. Supporting employees and entrepreneurs in growing a business and expanding beyond their “comfort zone” is an opportunity I find very rewarding and fun!
