About this episode
In this episode of Better Business Coach Podcast, I help you understand what it feels like to own a failing business or a business you feel you can never leave.
Learn to see these business owners for who they truly are, as well as understand that you’re helping people that are proud and deserve your respect. After all, they have taken action and gone out and done what most leave in the world of tomorrow.
Episode outline:
Imagine what it feels like to:
Be a servant to your business 80 hours per week
Hate doing what you once loved enough to start a business in
Be wondering where your next dollar is coming from
Have so much to do that you really don’t think you can do anything well
Feel like you are the only one that can do things
Perhaps because your staff doesn’t give you the results you want and you don’t know what to do about it
Feeling like there is no escape
Feeling embarrassed about what you do
Feeling disapproval from your closest friends and family
What are the daily drivers of these business owners?
Time – continuously fighting the clock
Fear – worried about when the next complaint or debt collection service is going to call
Bottom line – constant live or die cash flow and profit concerns
This is why you must ensure that for each session, you are 100% prepared to help as much as you can.
What does all this stress mean?
Their body is under constant stress. Stress causes your brain to move into fight or flight mode. In short, without intervention (HELP), there’s no coming back.
That’s why they need you.
Through coaching we can bring them back.
The difference business coaching makes.
Inspiring and motivating employees together while passing on skills
Help owners feel in control and finally get out of the day to day
What I have seen with my clients through coaching:
People building a business that they really enjoy and really do well
People turning a non-profitable business into a really profitable one
People recruiting and really developing their staff
Creation of order from chaos
Increased self-esteem as business confidence improves
Knowledge that they are really running a great business
A vision that customers, staff and they themselves believe in
A strong plan of steps to achieve their vision
Staff that hated their job now love what they do and perform well
Increased retention and a reduction in costs of replacement
People begin to embrace
