SBP Business – Life Coaching Programs

All of my Business-Life Coaching

programs designed to support you to

build your unique beautiful business

You weren't  actually planning to build it all on your own, were you?

Being in and around small business for the past 30+ years, I’ve come to understand the value of Business – Life Coaching and mentoring, because I have learnt two things:

  1. That many small business owners often feel overwhelmed and stuck in their daily lives as entrepreneurs. (More about overwhelm and personal wellbeing for small business owners here)
  2. That the most effective way out of that overwhelm is to find the right external advice, guidance, mentoring, or coaching. It doesn’t matter what name you give it, what it comes down to is: Asking for Help

My own experience as the owner of a building company in Sydney for 20 years was exactly like that and I’ve seen the same patterns repeated over and over with most of the small business owners I’ve met. The only sure fire way to step out of overwhelm, get unstuck and start moving forward again as energetically and positively as you did in the early years in your business, is to stop trying to do it all yourself.

Because you can’t do it without external advice and help, trust me on that. (More about the different forms of business support, advice and guidance here)

It takes a village

No business owner who ever built a Beautiful Business and Life, did it on their own. Successful entrepreneurs know it takes a village, and they look for the best advisers, mentors, and coaches they can find. For example you can read the story of one of my most successful clients here.

Fun in BusinessAll of my Business – Life Coaching, mentoring, webinar and workshop programs below are designed specifically for small business owners who do find themselves overwhelmed and stressed in their business. They’re designed for people who want to start Having more Fun in Business again. The programs are aimed at helping business owners discover what their own unique Beautiful Business and Life could really look like and then to help them build it.

It's difficult to decide: Free Five Steps to Discovery Process

My business coaching and mentoring programs are listed below with links to more information. But I know it can be difficult to decide what kind of support and guidance you really need at this stage on your journey as a business owner, just from reading a few pages on a website.

Because of that I suggest we follow my Free Five Steps to Discovery Process before you make any decisions about how or when to engage with me, starting with a free 30 minute Discovery Coaching session (Skype) combined with a short business discovery survey and report.

Next Steps

You can book a Discovery Business Coaching session and Business Discovery Survey through any one of the forms of this page. In the Discovery session, we’ll get to know each other a little and I’ll will ask you a thousand questions to get a good understanding of where you are in your business and life, what your challenges and opportunities are and how I can best support you, allowing me to tailor the next steps in the Five Steps to Discovery Process.

Summary: What’s it all about:

The one Month business transformation programs are short sharp, intense business coaching programs designed to tackle one specific issue in your business, find the clarity and focus you need and implement a series of effective and simple strategies that will transform that aspect of your business.

The Transformation programs consist of up to 4 business coaching sessions of between 1 and 2 hrs each via Skype, spread out over one month. Read about all of the one-month transformation programs here.

“I wanted to find out ways of reshaping my company to enjoy my work more and get back to doing the things that made me choose my vocation in the first place. Roland helped me do this and has re-energised me and my company.”

(Michael Hill, Lightwell)

Why it’s important for you:

At any one time in your business there may be one challenge above all others that needs to be tackled effectively right now before you and the business can start to move forward again:

  • Maybe it’s your marketing that isn’t working and you are not getting enough new inquiries,
  • Or maybe you’re not converting enough inquiries into new sales, or
  • You’re always struggling to pay the bills on time, or
  • Maybe your staff are not delivering for you, or
  • Your business plan is way out of date
  • Or you simply feel that you are drifting from job to job, client to client, without a sense of direction.

Most of us experience at least one of those challenges at some stage in our journey. And when we are in the midst of such a challenge it can be like a fog through which we can see very little else. Is that true for you at the moment? And what is the issue that causes the fog for you?

What you can expect from the program:

Before we even start a One-Month Program, I will help you decide which is the challenge that keeps you awake most, the issue that must be tackled before you can start to look for the horizon again (see the “Discovery Session” below). I will then customise the program to make sure we address that issue in the most effective way possible.

Then we’ll work together intensively for a month to bring about a real change in this aspect of your business. At the end of the month, you will feel a great sense of relief; The fog has lifted and you can start to see the horizon again, and you’ll not be kept awake at night any longer by that issue.

Free Five Step Discovery Process:

Before we engage in any of my coaching programs, I always suggest we follow my Five Steps to Discovery Process, starting with a free 30 minute Discovery Coaching session (Skype) combined with a short business discovery survey and report. You can book a Discovery Business Coaching session and Business Discovery Survey through any one of the forms of this page. In the Discovery session, we’ll get to know each other a little and I’ll get some insight into what stage you and your business are at, allowing me to tailor the next steps in the Five Steps to Discovery Process.

All about the Fun in Business Program

Why it’s important for you:

Change happens on journeys. Nothing ever happened in the safety of the harbour. To change our business and our life we have to get out onto the ocean and set sail for the horizon and above all, we can’t ever come back.

When you are ready to change your business and your life, I’d love to come on the journey with you. I will help you set a course, and adjust the course when required. I’ll keep you focused on the course and I’ll guide and teach you how to keep the ship safe and heading in the right direction. I’ll warn you when there’s a storm or a reef coming and I’ll make sure that you know when to row and row hard and when to let the wind take you along for a while.

What you can expect:

The Fun in Business Intensive is not for the faint hearted. The structure of the “Intensive” ensures that we will tackle the big issues, all the big rocks that have blocked your way to the business you dream of will be blown away or we’ll find a way around them; The program is called “The Intensive” because it is the most intensive one-on-one business coaching and mentoring program you can engage with while also running your business at the same time. It’s is full on and it has made grown men cry… But it works, every time.

Coming on the Journey with me in the Fun in Business Intensive will truly change your business and your life for ever.

I promise you

Brainstorming and sounding board

brainstormingWhat’s it all about?

Sometimes you need to know you can pick up the phone to someone you trust, because you need a sounding board, some independent input, a sense check, some advice or simply someone to vent your frustration on, allowing you to move on again.

I provide those functions for a number of small business owners, either on an ad hoc basis, when we book in an hour or more and I get you to think about a specific question to focus on in our session, or on an ongoing retainer basis.
