new business coaching

So you've decided to take the plunge and start your own business.  Congratulations!

There seems to be a million things to consider and do - from naming your business and developing a vision and creating a new brand, to making your business profitable. To get your business off the ground, you will need to do a range of things and become the type of person that can successfully manage your own business.

Some people jump straight in, others think their strategy through and take the logical steps.  Yet others experience paralysis by analysis, and talk themselves out of starting their own venture.

If you have a business concept, or are already running your own business, we can help you take your business off the ground with effective marketing and business strategies.

• Brainstorm business names that will give you an edge
• Take years off the learning and testing process most new business owners experience
• Laser focus on your business proposition
• Develop a clear plan and vision for your business
• Avoid costly mistakes many small business owners make when first starting out on their own 
• Position your business to the market you are targeting
• Develop a branding strategy to execute across your business
• Cost effective marketing strategies

New Business Coaching is for you if:

1. You own a small or medium sized business and want to improve the results you're achieving.

2.  You are an independent professional starting out in business

How does it work?

In working with owners of a new business, we utilise a combination of coaching and consulting.  In other words, we facilitate you in exploring solutions as well as make recommendations for your consideration.  Where relevant, we also refer you within a network of partners who can assist you in areas such as developing your website, creating your logo and organising your printing and photography needs.

Testimonial from a client starting a new business:

At short notice, Kathleen ran a business naming workshop with me and my two business partners.  We had everything sorted - from financing, business planning, grant applications, etc - except the name for the business.  Without the name, we couldn't register the company, create the brand or launch the business.

Kathleen's approach to facilitation was open and encouraging, while keeping us on track.  She pushed us to think as if we were our own customers.  This approach led us to decide on a fabulous business name, and it has continued to inform our marketing strategy.  RBS, Company Director, HR Consulting Business

How much does it cost?
