Coaching & Mentoring
You've heard this before - Tiger Woods has one and so does Magic Johnson.
And nowadays you would be hard pressed to find a single successful entrepreneur who doesn't have a coach. "OK, so what does that have to do with me"? you ask? Everything!

If you are anything like most business owners you are trying to do too much in too little of the time and all by yourself. Generating new business, managing employees, keeping the books - and that's only a partial list of your daily responsibilities. It just doesn't stop. How long can you keep up with all those chores before it finally get to you. You lose your focus, become less creative and your productivity takes a big dive. You have less and less time for your family, you barely see any of your friends - your business is taking over your life... That' where a coach can help.

The benefits of coaching are usually obvious almost instantly. We begin by discussing your needs. But we don't just jump on the first thing you bring up. You will discover that by taking a little extra time to discuss your immediate needs, long term plans and some of the barriers a clear path will begin to emerge. Here is just a handful of issues you may be struggling with:

- You are struggling with attracting enough clients. You've tried many marketing strategies but nothing seems to generate the results you need.

- You are a workaholic, your business has taken over your life and you want to change it fast.

- Your creativity is driving you nuts. It seams you're coming up with an idea a minute but nothing really gets done. You need help prioritizing and focusing on high leverage activities.

- Your business is doing OK but you know it could be much better. You've seem to lost your enthusiasm about what you do and you would like to reignite that spark you once had and spike up your productivity and sales.

- You work way too hard for way too little money. You have no long term vision or plan for your business and you know it's hurting you and you decided to develop a plan but you don't know where to start.

- You are a master procrastinator. You know exactly what needs to be done and how to do it but without accountability you are never going to take the first step.

- You are overwhelmed by all your business responsibilities. Your level of stress is unbearable and you don't want to live like this any more.

So how does this coaching work? Typically we work over the telephone and we have weekly "sessions". Sometimes, if it's convenient for both of us, we may choose to meet in person. Most of the time my clients purchase a block of my time (usually 8-12 hours) and we proceed at their own pace. Once we create an action plan, as your coach, I will hold you accountable for your choices until you get the desired results. During our typical conversation we will address specific problem areas and create actionable steps for you to take in between our weekly conversations. You see I may give you best ideas - but without you taking action nothing will happen!

Here are some examples of what you may expect in just a few sessions:

One of my clients came to me because he was attending all kinds of networking events but he wasn't generating any business and he couldn’t understand why. As we worked together I shared with him just two simple strategies and almost immediately he began generating more interest and attracted several clients.

Another client approached me because he had a hard time creating a long term strategy for his business. As we began to work together it turned out we had to cover some of the basics first. You see this client had a difficult time communicating the benefits his business was creating for his customers. Sales and marketing concepts were completely foreign to him. This seriously hindered his ability to grow his company.

Together we created a compelling "elevator pitch" first and then moved on to developing a solid long term plan. We were so specific in our conversations we even discussed how many contacts he was going to make on a weekly basis. Each week he had short term goals and a plan to achieve them. We came up with a chart so that he could keep track of his progress. Gaining a clear vision for what was possible for his company, and small, weekly wins got this client so excited that it caused a major shift in his business and his sales.
