Becoming a better Business Owner

The most powerful thing we do in our work together is the focus on personal growth and development.

Business problems are almost always personal problems in disguise.

As I tell every client: “If the owner wants a better business, the business needs a better owner.”

Our work in this area revolves around the following categories:

Developing Business and Leadership Skills

Most of my clients don't have a formal business education and they've never been taught how to lead and manage a team.

Together, we fill in the gaps in knowledge and skill. These might include some of the following:

• How to delegate effectively
• How to run team meetings
• How to hold crucial conversations
• How to read and understand financial statements

Confidence and Mindset Work

It's normal to feel fear or discomfort when faced with learning something new or facing a challenging situation. I often provide support and guidance to help my clients:

• Shift their beliefs and limitations (especially around selling and marketing)
• Develop confidence in their pricing and the value of their work
• Become more assertive when communicating
• Practice and prepare for challenging confrontations
• Develop a manager's mindset and looking for tasks to delegate

Success Habits and Accountability

As the saying goes: "what got you here, won't get you there!" Creating change requires building new habits. These may include:

• Managing time more effectively
• Committing to taking action and being accountable to your own plans
• Being proactive instead of reactive
• Taking time to work "on" your business instead of just "in" it

Plan Act, and Measure

Throughout our work together, we plan the work, work the plan and measure the results.

This includes developing an overall strategic plan, developing tactical plans for various areas of the business and identifying and measuring Key Performance Indicators. (KPIs)

"Fiona helps me sort out what to do, so it's not just a big blur.

"She breaks things down into the steps that need to be taken, and then suggests people and other resources to help to get there.

Then we get started and follow up with our progress the next week. She keeps me accountable and on track."

Create Systems

A well-managed business runs on systems.

When you have systems in place: well-documented procedures, job descriptions, accounting and marketing systems – these systems run the business.

You’re no longer the bottleneck (the only person who can make a decision or who knows what’s going on.)

Well-established systems mean that your team knows what to do and how to do it. They run the systems.

Your job is to lead those people.

Together, we will create systems for the following areas of business:

• Sales and Marketing
• Team Management
• Financial 
  

This coaching program begins the moment you commit to it.

Assessment & Plan

You will fill out a comprehensive assessment – so that we know exactly where you are, what the problems are and where we need to focus next. This way we can make the most efficient use of our time and get the fastest results for you.

At our first meeting, we will go over the assessment and create a 90 day plan.

Weekly Meetings

Then we will meet every week to review your progress and work through any issues you are experiencing.

You will get one-on-one, personalized education on whatever you need: time management, goal setting, planning, sales and marketing, business systems, team management or success mindset strategies.

Our Agreement

I won’t work with anyone who isn’t actively working on their business and therefore getting a return on their coaching investment. It’s a waste of time and money for both of us. I’m just as invested in the relationship as you are.

I don't lock people into long-term contracts. Coaching only works if both parties work - if it's not working out, either one of us can decide to pull the pin.

The investment and guarantee

Coaching is an investment that usually begins to pay off immediately and will continue paying off over the life of your business. Everything you learn today you can continue to apply in the future.

If you qualify – and do the work – I offer a guarantee:

If you don’t earn my fee over and above what you’re making now after 17 weeks of coaching, I will work with you at no charge until that is true!

How to get started

If coaching with me sounds like something you’d like to explore, I invite you to book a confidential 15-minute call so we can each assess whether or not it will be a fit. If it looks like it will be a fit for both of us, we’ll schedule a longer complimentary coaching session so that you can experience what coaching is like before you commit to a longer program.
