Most owners like the idea of having a business coach. What they are unsure about is the price. You are already paying staff, suppliers, software and tax. The thought of adding a coaching fee on top of that can feel risky, especially if you have tried advisors before who talked a lot but did not […]
If you have ever written a business plan, you probably know this pattern. You spend hours filling in templates, talking about vision, adding numbers to spreadsheets and pulling together nice looking charts. The document gets saved, maybe printed, and then real life takes over. Within a few weeks, the plan is sitting in a drawer […]
Most trade business owners are not short on effort. You are quoting, chasing materials, checking on jobs, answering calls from clients and trying to keep your team moving. By the time you sit down at night, you are wiped out and still not sure if the business actually made good money that day. The problem […]
When communication is off, everything in the business feels harder. Instructions get misunderstood. Jobs slip through the cracks. People make assumptions instead of asking questions. Tension builds between team members, and you end up stepping in to fix problems that should never have reached you. Most owners know communication is an issue, but struggle to […]
Most owners know they should “do more marketing” but are tired of guessing. You try a bit of social media, boost a post here and there, maybe run some Google Ads. Some things work for a while, then results drop off again. It is hard to tell what actually moved the needle. That is where […]

Then, slowly, you find yourself leading a team, dealing with cash flow, handling tough conversations and making decisions that affect everyone. At that […]
Scaling a small business should not cost you your health, your family time, or your sanity. Yet for a lot of owners, growth feels like turning up the volume on a machine that already hurts. More sales just means more problems, more people asking for you, and more late nights trying to put out fires. […]
Let’s be real: hiring a business coach is way more than just another line item on the budget. It’s the critical difference between a company that’s stalled out and one that actually scales aggressively. For any small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), the right coach can be the catalyst for the kind of exponential growth you’re […]
Do you have an employee who is highly productive but also highly disruptive? In any business, leadership requires managing complex human dynamics.

This is a […]
