Building and Growing a business as a solopreneur is tough. A small business isn't a small task and you need to be on the top of your game. But you don't need to do this alone. All good players, have a coach! Someone to have their back. Someone to support them, keep them taking the swings, stepping up and playing at their best. So why not try small business coaching and bring your AGame.

FAQs
Coaching can help many people, but there are a few key traits that make a successful player:
- Commitment to Growth and a Growth Mindset
- Openness to Feedback, Proactive and Accountable
- Self-Awareness, Honesty and Transparency
- Willingness to be Vulnerable and an Openness to Change
- Clear (or Evolving) Goals, and a Desire for Accountability
I work with solopreneurs and business owners who have a passion to provide value and service to their customers and are looking to build a profitable business that is resilient and they are looking to play the long game.
While coaching can help many, it is not suitable for everyone. It is not for you if you are:
- Seeking Quick Fixes
- Unwilling to Take Responsibility
- Resistant to Change
- Expecting the Coach to Provide All Answers
- Unprepared to Invest Time and Effort
It’s a journey and you need to walk the road.
Mentoring
A mentor has travelled the road before you. They have more experience and expertise than you and will use that to show you the steps they have taken in the expectation that you will learn from their successes, their failures and their insights.
Teaching
A teacher will help you learn and practice skills. The transfer of knowledge is generally delivered in a more structured way in the desire and expectation that you will absorb and LEARN the skills and apply the knowledge.
Counselling
This is a therapeutic practice used to help you work through past personal issues, mental and emotional concerns. Counsellors are trained to provide specific support towards healing and self-understanding.
Consulting
A consultant will provide specialist expertise to specific issues. They will use this expertise to identify problems, suggest and even implement solutions.
Coaching
There are elements of self-discovery, knowledge and skill practice in a coaching relationship. But the coaching relationship focuses on unlocking potential in the player, encouraging and empowering you to find your own specific solutions and traveling your own specific road with a companion, focused on your future, your growth and your goals.
All I can guarantee is that if you do the work, transformation will happen. I cannot guarantee particular outcomes. But what I can guarantee is that I'll show up, I'll challenge you, we'll play together and you will grow.
I offer a free coaching session. During this session, together we will explore where you are, your challenges, your hopes dreams and goals. With this clarity that comes from this session, we will have a clear understanding whether and how we can play together further. Taking the next step and booking one of the programs/packages is a commitment to your growth and the exchange in value binds that commitment to yourself, your business and your growth.
After we have completed the program, the journey continues. And we can agree to continue to travel together with another package after discussing the next steps, or, we can part ways, maybe to connect later ... or not.
