Did you start your 1Person Business with great hopes and now find for some reason, you’re not doing as well as you planned?
Are you stuck on a low plateau? You know there’s more money out there but haven’t been able to find it?
Are you overwhelmed with doing everything by yourself yet not sure how or what to hand over to someone else?
Do you know you must be stepping on your own shoelaces, but are having trouble finding your feet?
Are you asking yourself if running a 1 Person Business is really worth it? Maybe it’s time you should just “get a real job?”
If you are asking these questions, you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s face it, running a 1Person Business can be one of the most challenging, rewarding, and lonely ways to make a living.
Your friends, family, even your spouse or life partner may think you are a little off kilter They have a hard time imagining why anyone would choose a 1Person Business.
But, you know you’ve chosen the right path. You just need a bit of support and guidance, someone who you can bounce ideas off.
What you need is a thinking partner: someone who’s been there, done that. Someone who is dedicated to the success of your business and you as a business owner.
Someone with whom you can consult with.
Someone who will hold your questions, fears, frustrations and breakthroughs confidential.
As a long time 1Person Business owner, I’ve experienced those same frustrations and challenges and gone on to find a way to be successful in spite of previous failures, to build a business that brings me satisfaction rather than frustration and support the life style I want, rather than one that others dictate I should have.
Let me help you make those same transitions.
All of the coaching programs I offer are both confidential and customized to you and the needs of your business.
We’ll start with an assessment, of your business, and you as a business owner. We’ll look at your strengths, what your clients and customers want and need, and what you have been doing that has worked and not worked.
My clients call me a straight shooter, delivering feedback you can hear and use. It will be practical, challenging and supportive to help you earn more and keep more of what you earn, while finding the personal satisfaction a successful 1Person Business can bring.
Typically we work together for 6 months to a year, and can continue on retainer on an as-needed basis.
Chose which direction best fits you needs:
When Your Own “Stuff” is Getting in Your Way
Let’s face it. None of us starts a 1Person Business with the intention of failing. Yet lots of us do fail.
Yes, me too.
Twice.
I know from personal experience what it means, how it feels and how hard it can be to turn things around after failure.
Or, even figuring out how I could have let things get so bad in the first place.
When we’re failing, we’re too close to figure it out. Too close to see how we’ve stumbled on our own shoe laces.
What you need is a personal and business coach to help you turn around your business and yourself to the strength and success you can be.
Together, we’ll identify areas where you can cut your losses, and package and reposition your products and services for profitability,
and make way for strategic new offerings.
At the same time, we’ll begin to address those personal habits, behaviors and approaches that aren’t serving you, or your business. Using cutting edge models from both business and psychology, we’ll set an agenda for leveraging your personal strengths, backfill behind your flat sides, and short circuit your personal sabotage patterns.
The objective? A business and personal revival to a healthy growing business with a confident,
capable, and prosperous business owner.
When You Just Don’t have the Skills…
Or the Business Systems
Lots of people start their 1Person Business after many years of working for someone else, in academia, or for a public agency. Their professional skills are superb, their intentions and motivation for success are solid — but they just don’t have a business model, or the business skills, to ensure their own business success.
Relying on business skills you developed in a corporate, academic, and/or not for profit setting will not ensure your 1Person Business success. While the terms may be similar, the business processes need to ensure 1Person Business success are very different.
1Person Business Skills coaching is designed for owner/operators like you. Someone who needs to balance working
on their business while working at the business. The key success factor is understanding and implementing the 1Page Business Tools System.
The 1Page Business Tools, and the back up procedures and processes and practices let you succeed while wearing both hats: business owner and practicing professional.
As we work together you’ll develop and implement:
-
A working business plan, the backbone of your business development and growth
-
A marketing plan to ensure your skills and talents are available to your target market
-
A sales plan to keep you on track and selling to reach your business goals
-
A client services catalogue with all your current and potential products and services you offer your clients and potential clients
-
An internal management portfolio with financial summaries and projections, operations and procedures manuals, and tracking tools for all the details and data you need to run your business so it doesn’t run you.
But tools are only as good as the system you have for implementing them…using them to make your life easier, build your business and help you bring in more money, keep more of what you make, and increase the profitability of your services while serving your perfect clients…and yourself.
You truly learn how to work smarter not harder to increase your 1Person Business success.
