When we first met, I was looking for support in growing my business and coping with the challenges that this was bringing, and I thought that a coach would help me learn from the experience of others in managing a business.
As we have worked together however, I have found that the support and assistance you have given has helped me in working out exactly what I want the business to be, and how I want it to run, as well as how to achieve the goals I have set myself. With your help we have managed to achieve and cope with over 150% growth in 18 months and develop the company into a real business.
The process of focusing on specific goals and meeting with other business owners at the planning days, has also been really helpful – hearing other business owners celebrate their successes and talking about the way their businesses have developed and grown has given me the encouragement to look at new ways of growing my company. Although my business is very different to almost all of the other business owners in the room, it is great how the fundamentals apply regardless of the industry you work in.
What has also been invaluable has been your personal support – running a business on my own leaves little opportunity for talking about the bigger challenges and how to meet them, so having your advice and assistance has made all the difference. Our regular meetings ensure I am focusing on the business rather than being caught up in the day to day work, and having an independent sounding board has given me confidence that I’m making the right decisions.
I’d recommend ActionCOACH to anyone who is looking to grow their business.
Many thanks for all your help and support.
