What is business and entrepreneurial coaching?

Business and entrepreneurial coaching is a vehicle for optimizing your business potential, sharpening your awareness and enabling you to develop/expand plans for the business you have always wanted. Business and entrepreneurial coaching is focused on evaluating your present business condition, if applicable, and reshaping or building it to suit your desired business plans. When correctly employed, this system of coaching allows you to more readily understand and advance your business goals and provides you with the tools necessary to make this happen.

A Business & Entrepreneurial Coach works in partnership with you exploring your goals, habits, values, attitudes, perceptions, life choices, habits and barriers.

How does the program work?

I Information Gathering

You provide background information through a comprehensive written questionnaire and orally during the first coaching session. This ensures the coaches are well-informed on your key issues, desired outcomes and agenda. You confirm that you are ready to make changes, discuss your business goals and set priorities and realistic goals for the next 3 months. You agree to define and accomplish 3-5 interim goals, or small steps, toward the larger 3-month goal during the following week.

II Motivation & Strategy

Together you and your coach perform a comprehensive assessment of your current business and marketing plans and create the forecast for the desired outcome 1, 2 and 5 years hence. Using this current information and the description of your desired outcome, you jointly formulate achievable objectives that can be measured and assessed. Only by understanding your needs and desires will this partnership forward the achievement of your goals. The coach will help you seek and identify resources, providing tools invaluable during this program and after. You develop a strategy for the future which empowers you to activate change.

In effect, you will have a comprehensive self-designed program tailored to your business needs and schedule along with results driven goals (both short and long term) related to your focus in the coaching program.

III The Journey

In each subsequent 60 minute coaching session, scheduled three times a month or as needed, you and your coach review the progress made toward the previous week's goals and either proceed to something new or develop a solution to overcome an obstacle. You then agree on a set of goals for the following week.

After a few weeks of coaching sessions, you should begin to notice improvements in your motivation as you begin to advance more strongly in the direction of your goals. Some may hit one or more obstacles in the second and third months, but both coaches and clients collaborate creatively to innovative solutions for overcoming each roadblock on the path to success.

IV Reflection and Beyond

At the end of 3 months, most clients have accomplished more than 70% of their 3-month goals. They are energized and confident about committing to further business improvements. If you are seriously ready to advance toward a new or better business and are prepared to make the commitment for change, then you are ready to experience this program that will transform how you see yourself and how you do business. Why not enjoy success at work, home and play?
