Program Titles and details
1 – Hamster NO MORE – online training/coaching program
Most small business owners feel like a hamster on a wheel – you know the feeling, running fast – getting nowhere?
Since 2003 we’ve discovered over 80% of the 1000+ small business owners we’ve worked with suffer from 2 Key Issues we believe to be THE key reasons why so many small businesses fail within their first two years.
- First, most have either no idea or have lost sight of the original reasons for being and the direction for the business.
- Second, most have lost track of (or never knew in the first place) what’s really happening in their business.
We’ve also found, played with and determined there is a REAL and simple solution to beat these extreme failure statistics…
The Solution
Our 5 Pillars for Small Business Success
- Pillar 1 – Know where you are
- Pillar 2 – Know where you are going
- Pillar 3 – Decide your income
- Pillar 4 – Tell the world (marketing)
- Pillar 5 - Manage for success
We know these Pillars seem overly simple but, we also know that ‘overly simple’ usually works best. We’re also aware that whilst the headings are simple, the work required to implement appropriate solutions for your business may not always be easy.
We’ve also become aware it’s no good teaching tools unless you work with a person to ensure they understand how to implement what they have learnt which is why our Hamster NO MORE program combines a practical blend of self paced skills training and email based mentoring over a 12 month period to ensure you both understand the concepts AND have our support whilst implementing new habits in your business.
At the end of this program you WILL…
- be clear about the direction for your business
- be clear on the reasons you are in business
- understand your areas of strength and the areas that challenge you the most so you can work on either getting the skills of finding the people to support you where you are most charged
- create a financial platform that is specifically designed with both your lifestyle and business success in mind
- be sure you can market your business in a way that attracts the clients you must desire
- be sure your marketing image, messages and pricing are appropriate to the clients you serve
