New Business Package:
For start-up businesses or social enterprises wanting to build
solid foundations - and head-off surprises - this coaching package
is ideal. We work together from wherever you are: in the thick of
the planning stage or opening your doors next week.
The package of 8-sessions, based on the book Make
It Your Business, leads you through:
 |
- Making the Decision and Shaping
your Business (what's your idea? what's stopping you? what
does success look like to you?)
- Getting Started (people, location,
equipment, time
- Business Basics (name, set-up,
structure, contracts, accounting, compliance, VAT, The
Business Plan)
- Pricing, Negotiation and Contracts
(money, selling, AIDA)
- Branding, Marketing and PR (logo,
website, ideas, communication)
- Developing and Managing Your
Business (cashflow, customers, employees, suppliers, project
management)
- Relationships and Responsibilities
(communication, assertiveness)
- The big picture (your life context, ambitions, desires,
setbacks, breakthroughs
|
Eight one-hour sessions are pre-booked over a three month-period,
and take place in London/Berkshire or by telephone. The
package includes a business plan review, project management templates,
a start-up questionnaire and weekly email support. Discounted fees
may be negotiated with Social Enterprises.
Established Business Package:
This coaching package is essential support for business/social
enterprise owners who have been up and running for a year or two,
and have first-hand experience of the pleasures and pitfalls of
self-employment. Businesses at this stage often experience
work overload and/or the "success-is-just-round-the-corner" syndrome.
This package helps you focus and develop coping mechanisms ... to
walk up to that corner, turn it, and carry on towards your goals.
The package of 8-sessions leads you through:
 |
- A quick check of your progress to
date against the Big Vision (changed?) and Big Plan (on
track?)
- 3C Review - Cashflow, Customers,
Contracts
- SWOT analysis - Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
- Revenue Generation -
focusing on the things that make money
- Getting things done - systems,
processes and time management

- Managing stress - developing
healthy coping mechanisms

complete development projects
