Business Coaching – Why / What / How etc

Business Coaching has been a growing phenomenon over the last several years and many people have taken advantage of the opportunity to grow their business using the assistance a coach can offer.  There has also been substantial growth in the number of coaches offering their services.

What does a Business Coach do?  Like a coach of a sporting team or individual the Business Coach enables the one being coached to use more of their innate talents, achieve more in less time and reach greater heights.

It is natural to wonder how a coach might help; what a coach might do; and how one might help.  All valid questions and all deserving of answers.

Some more questions;
?    Are you a new business; or
?    Does your existing business lack clear goals or direction
?    Are your staff disorganised; or do they lack motivation
?    Do you wonder where your ‘bottom line’ went

As your Business Coach my experience in various businesses from all sorts of ‘start’ positions can help you;
*  Explore your potential;
*  Gain clarity on what you really want;
*  Determine the options available;
*  Establish plans which can then be worked through; &
*  Then help you celebrate achieving your growth and your goals.

The first thing you need in business is a Business Plan.  Have you got one?  Seen it lately?  Without a clear vision of where you are going and the appropriate mechanisms, procedures and policies to ensure you can achieve your objectives, you risk losing control.

As part of your Business Plan identify:
*  Key skills – from which you will identify key strategies;
*  Weaknesses and strengths within your organisation;
*  Opportunities for you to grow your sphere of influence
Knowing these things helps you arrive at where you want to be more quickly, with the least amount of stress and hardship.

Every minute spent in planning saves ten minutes in execution. The purpose of planning is to increase your returns; the return on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual capital you have invested in your life, your career, your business.

Wondering why various unhelpful things are happening in your life or your business?  Get a real plan and have real control of your business and your life!  Eliminate errors and negative unhelpful activities; take charge of your success.  Surround yourself with someone who will concentrate ‘with’ you on ‘your’ success.

OVERALL BEING

Bio

My name is Lisa Kavenagh. I often wonder that myself with the times I wish I could find a clone. I am, though, a very proud mother of 4 darling boys ranging from 13years through to 19 months. A wife to an amazing man! But, very proud of my achievements of building Overall Being. Past times and hobbies, when I get free time, would be enjoying moments with family either ‘chillaxing’ (as my 13 year old says), sharing a latte or a nice cold chardy or sav blanc whilst enjoying a BBQ with friends/family. I love the beach, markets, Natural Therapy/spiritual world, movies and holiday times. So, I suppose you can say, I am fairly well rounded with likes.

What is your business name and your website url?

Overall Being ~ http://www.overallbeing.com.au

How long have you been in business?

I have developed Overall Being since back in 2003, but took a few moments off whilst having two extra darlings. In 2009 I began again as I needed something to occupy my brain.

What made you decide to start your own business?

I love having the freedom whilst being at home. Putting all my eggs into one basket so to speak, with what I love and then offering them to others.

What strategies do you use to keep yourself motivated?

I meditate quite regularly and keep a postitive outlook.

Do you have a current product or promotion running?

For the fans of my Facebook group, they receive regular ’specials’ and this varies from month to month.

What makes your business/products unique?

I feel the Overall Being name says it all. It offers a range of products in the one spot. Someone once said my products are like a ‘Circle of Love’.

How do you keep the balance between family and work?

I am very organised and have become quite good at multi-tasking. This and also my frame of mind helps me each day to overcome any obstacles that I may encounter. Think positive!

Do you have any advice for new WAHMs?

Think positive! Have a dream and always believe in yourself. Treat each client as if they are your first and last.
