Business Coaching is not about motivation...

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....



Now most business owners think they are already doing everything they can, and sometimes this is true, but I have yet to find a business that has no room for improvement. The thing is, you don’t know what you don’t know, and if what you don’t know is the thing that could double your turnover you’re sitting on a winning lotto ticket and haven’t bothered to check the numbers.

I have spent years reading and practicing different methods for improving businesses and have developed a system for improving every business I work with. Together we systematically go through my framework and find concrete ways to make your business more profitable, more efficient and more fun to run. Every business owner needs to spend more time working on their business, not just in it. Time spent working with a good business coach will be time spent working on your business, and with the right business coach, eventually you will only work on your business, while your motivated and organised employees work in your business.
