Coaching for business start-ups

Setting up a business can be very rewarding not only financially, but also in terms of personal satisfaction, freedom, control, environment and work-life balance. That's not to say there are no challenges - all business owners are sure to have had moments of doubt and difficulty, but setting up a business - big or small - is an exciting and empowering venture. Successful business owners set off on this journey with whatever skills and knowledge they've picked up in work/life along the way, good ideas, bags of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and grow.

There is a lot of advice out there for small businesses (including our book). All new business owners have something to learn about the many practicalities of running a business, whether that's setting up a company, writing business plans, managing finance or using technology. In my business advisor role, I can support you with many aspects of the business ownership life-cycle: from having an idea to getting going; from deciding where to work to raising finance; from business planning to making sales, employing people and growing or selling your business.

In my coaching role, I place equal importance on helping you plan for what self-employment will be like on a personal level - discovering your own unique style as a business owner and leader; how to overcome practical and psychological barriers to self-employment; how to stay focused and how to achieve your ambitions and financial targets without sacrificing other important areas of your life.
