You may be surprised to hear that there are only 5 ways to increase your profit. It may sound scary, but actually, when laid out in a business framework it is easier for you to work on your business.

Although motivation is a great by-product of the coaching process. The way I see it, if you own your own business, you already have motivation. You either want the big house, car, yacht or whatever else you’re striving for, otherwise you have bills to pay and creditors beating down your door.

Now your motivation may wax and wane and in my experience it moves in direct correlation to how empowered you feel as a business owner. If things are going well, you will feel powerful and motivated. If things aren’t going well and you find yourself thinking from the ‘effect’ side of the cause and effect equation you will feel like you have very little motivation.

Business Coaching is about taking control of your situation, evaluating your options and then taking action. It is in taking action that you are returned to the ‘cause’ side of the cause and effect equation and your motivation returns by the shed load! When I was running my business in London for the past few years I moved from one side to the other side of this equation many times but once I studied how to be a coach and started coaching myself I learned how to get myself back to the right place quickly....

Simply put, coaching is a process of identifying viable goals and working towards them with a person who is committed to helping you succeed. It sounds simple, and it is, but business isn’t, and obstacles often get in the way of our success.
