How Business Coaching Can Help Your Company To Grow!

You may be a business owner who has some existing sticking points in their business, working day in and day out to overcome, overdue bills, staff mistakes and problem clients etc.

Our business sales, marketing and management nightmares often arise from us trying to do it all ourselves, and we often create these nightmares ourselves which tie us into our business, instead of freeing us from it.

Now, I hear you saying ok, ok, how do I free myself from my baby, my business that I love and cherish and built from the ground up? First thing you need to do is create systemization models that will help your staff to easily re-create what you do without your input any longer. All you'll need to do is have regular checkup meetings with your staff member or outsourced staff (and yes, you can hire outsourced staff overseas, in the Philippines for example for as little as $2 / hour and they're actually as good, if not better, than regular staff here in Newcastle or anywhere locally for 5 to 10 times as much).

When you know how to effectively systemize, and this is a learnt skill, so don't worry if you don't know how at the moment. You then have the necessary tools and strategies to hand to your staff that they can follow from that point forward, heck, you can even create systems where your staff hire, fire, research and interview new members when they've maxxed themselves out, this is automates your business and makes life easier for you.

Systems of course are only one aspect of business coaching that you need to have success. If you look at McDonalds, they can hire 14 and 15 year olds and have 16 year old managers because of their awesome systems and drop-dead simple processes and equipment, even a monkey could be trained to use them.

So my coaching rant about why business coaching in the Newcastle area or any area of the world for that matter is (because systemization in business is spannable across the globe) to do something today to get your systems and training in place NOW, even if it's just you in the business, treat it like you're the head staff member and get those systems in place.

The things you do on a daily basis and think to yourself "Oh, only I could do that!" is nothing more than just writing it down, video taping it, audio recording it, doing whatever it is you need to do to make yourself "Clonable" and "Duplicatable" as they say, this is the key to success in growing your business.

Even if you own a small business and you never want to grow it, make life easy on yourself when you want to take a holiday, instead of "SHUTTING" your shop down, implement some strategy and forethought of systems in place, so that you can hire someone to do it for you... A casual staff member maybe, because one day you might just decide to grow your business further and you'll be already setup with the structure and foundations to do that.
