In the years since I started my first business, the biggest successes and growth spurts have happened as a direct result of working with a coach - or when I’ve been part of a mastermind group.
Whether you’re newly in business of have several years of experience, there are times when having a business coach and mentor can help you too.
As a result of working with literally hundreds of small business owners since 2001, I found there are a handful of major areas that seem to keep getting in the way of my clients’ success. Developing solutions to these obstacles were the foundation for the ‘5 Element Business Coaching Programme’.
This is a 10 month program which takes you through these essential elements to make building your small business less like hard work AND provide the lifestyle you want.
What the Programme Includes
Element #1 - Clarity
Many business owners don't have a clear path forward. This first step asks searching questions, including: What kind of business are you really in? Where are you now? What do you want to achieve with your business?
Element #2 - Strategy
Even more business owners don’t have any plans written down! Know what to do and when, so your marketing and sales processes easily and consistently attract prospects and convert them into paying clients.
Element #3 - Mindset
If you have doubts about your ability to succeed, you could unknowingly be sabotaging yourself. Find out what motivates you and how to overcome the terrible twins of Procrastination and Perfectionism.
Element #4 - Action
Manage your time and organise your efforts so you're working on the most important activities - those which will bring in business quickly and make you money sooner rather than later!
Element #5 - Growth
It’s easy to get so wrapped up in the day to day busyness of running your business that you get stuck and don’t move on to the next step - of growing your business (or whatever the next stage is in your case).
When you can successfully put all these elements together, you will have an unbeatable formula to build your business regardless of economic conditions.
How it Works
- Each Element takes 2 calendar months to work through and includes one-on-one calls (Telephone or Skype) and unlimited E-mail support between calls.
- Calls are recorded - building into a valuable reference library you can use as a reminder of all the resources and ideas we cover.
- You will have ‘homework’ assignments to complete (while I’m there to provide support, it’s your responsibility to get them done on time.)
You get a single invoice to cover the entire programme - there will be no additional costs nor hidden extras.
Because we use the phone and internet, there's no travel time involved. This means my delivery costs are very low and I pass these savings on to you! Therefore your coaching programme is very affordable.

Testimonials
"I have a clarity and sense of direction about my company that I never had before"
"Louise has worked with me to define my business, refocus on what was important, and recognize my self-defeating behaviours that have hindered my growth personally and professionally. Nothing was left untouched! In the past when I started to grow the process became overwhelming. Louise helped me break it down into bits and pieces that were easy to digest and adapt to. Instead of running for the hills in fear, my business is finally growing and I’m handling it all like a skilled circus juggling act.
We still have more work to do, but words cannot express how grateful I am for what Louise has shown me about myself and my business. I have a clarity and sense of direction about my company that I have never had before – and incredibly, I now have time for myself! So, I’m really doing more with less time!"
-Debbie Mahler, Founder & CEO, M.I.C.E. Technology, Training & Education, www.mice.org
"I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Louise if your business needs focus and direction"
“Louise really knows her stuff as a business coach. She has helped me review and clarify my service offering which means I have been able to focus my marketing much better. I'm now gaining more enquiries as a result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Louise if your business needs focus and direction.”
-Sam McArthur, Director, www.forty-first.co.uk
"With your help I was able to focus, self examine and discover how to see the wood from the trees"
"Like many small business owners, I found that I had to work much longer hours just to maintain the business at previous levels. I was pursuing all sorts of ideas and really didn't know how to select one from the other. It was exhausting.
With your help I was able to focus, self examine and discover how to see the wood from the trees, how to set and put personal and family goals first, rather than being a slave to work and devoting my left-over time to the family. My horizons are now much broader but the new business model is so much simpler!"
-Bob Squirrel, Managing Director, www.technologymarketingmanagement.com
