Helping Hand - Firm Push

 "Sometimes the best helping hand you can get is a good, firm push."

 - Jo Ann Thomas

 

Man is that true. I have worked now with well over 50 small business owners across the US and Canada and the power of this quote is echoed over and over.

This is the essence of Coaching. Whether it is in athletics, the arts, life in general or business, it all comes down to the fact that great coaches bring Accountability.

We all yearn to have a team of people who are accountable for their actions and more importantly their results.

Accountability starts at the top and the problem is that small business owners are usually not accountable to anyone but themselves. Oh yes your employees and family look to you for leadership and money, but that is responsibility not accountability.

A good coach brings accountability to the engagement and the money you invest (yes invest you will get an ROI on it) solidifies it.

Working Sessions and assignments ensure you block the time each week to work on making your business better. It is not working harder, it is the fact you are focusing on the right things, the things that will make you a better leader, your employees more productive and your company more profitable.

Will coaching work for you? It works for everyone that is committed to taking their dream and turning it into a project - committed to focusing 2-3 hours a week on making yourself and the business better and more profitable.

See what these business owners say about the power of coaching.  

All the best,
