I help owners of SME's and Start Ups to get better known and increase, not just turnover but, profit. Also to watch out for the pitfalls, and save time and money buy avoiding the mistakes for which I have already paid the price. I always thought, arrogantly, that I could learn it all myself. I paid the hard way, "so you don't have to".
As a Business & Personal Life Coach with years of experience in business, not just studying, but with staff of up to almost 40 employees and a healthy profit on just under £3million turnover, there is nothing I love more than to get people who are earning money to:
- a) earn more
- b) grow from within as well as from without.
- c) enjoy what they are doing inside as well as outside work
Born into a large family of Irish Immigrants I grew up watching parents work hard, very hard. They had great ideas great skills my mother a Confectioner & Baker at the Athenium Club in Pall Mall, with Winston Churchill taking home and enjoying her fresh cakes, my father, an ex-naval seaman engineer who played the piano and sang in any bar he could find South of the River Thames.
From an early age I could never understand why we did not have our own cake shop, or my father was not on the stage. Now I know of course, they had the skill but no one was there to guide them. It was nothing to do with not being good enough. So, I learned the hard way. But, at least I learned!
The first step of course is for business owners to accept "help will not harm, but only bring calm".
Business has got to be there to serve us not us to serve it. A great mentor of mine, a retired CEO of a well known PLC taught me much. That coupled with my experience with sitting with all walks of life from inside the Board Room, or an office on top of a sweet shop, to - a plush Park Lane Hotel, or visiting an inmate and sitting in his cell at Pentonville means I can't be shocked, and I can be trusted.
This is but a snippet, for those who let me into there journey I can help you to your true destination.
Contact me, or let someone you know where they can.
We should never let The Sun set without feeling good about at least on thing we did today.
