ACCOUNTABILITY & SUPPORT
GOAL SPECIFIC COACHING
I will assist you to tap into your creative genius to develop and offer products or services your clients love. You will free up time and energy for delivering the products or services you are passionate about.
CREATE AN ACTION PLAN
You know that starting your own business takes incredible passion, unwavering commitment, and a healthy dose of hard work. Even with all of that in place, you can still find yourself wondering:
- I have a great business idea, but how do I get started?
- How can I shift from feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done to focusing on what’s really important to grow my business?
- What kind of action plan do I need to have in place, to help ensure my success?
specialising in working with start-ups and small businesses in 3 key phases of their development:
Start Your Business:
You have a burning passion to do something to contribute meaningfully in the world. You have a vision, whether a vague idea or a crystal clear picture, for what that will look like. You know that you’ll want your own business to make it happen. And you know you’re going to need some help getting started. You’ll be guided through a proven step-by-step process for developing a clear understanding of the purpose, values and vision for your business and creating a simple, dynamic and easily adaptable plan for making your idea a reality.
Grow Your Business:
You’ve successfully started a business, developed products or services, and have a flow of customers. But, you find your business growth stagnant (or worse, shrinking); you find yourself encountering the same challenges over and over again; or you’re finding yourself overwhelmed with balancing day to day operations with all of your great ideas for what to do next and feel like you’re just not able to do it all. Ged will guide you through an effective step-by-step process to assess where your business is at currently and develop key strategies for growing your business to the next level.
Reimagine Your Business:
You’ve been in business for a while and have a steady stream of customers. However, you’re working way more hours than you ever thought you would. You’re finding it hard to stay connected with the passion and purpose that drove you to start this business in the first place. You are feeling a strong need to take action, but aren’t sure what the next best action to take is. Your business goals are changing and evolving as you reach your initial goals, but you’re still doing the same old thing and need support in creating an action plan that aligns with where you want to be headed now. Ged will guide you through a simple yet effective process for reconnecting with your passion and purpose, clarifying your updated and expanded vision, and developing a simple, dynamic and easily adaptable plan for making your goals a reality.
Previous Clients
After discussing my current strategy around marketing my business Ged identified organic and local growth as an area I could do more in and came up with a plan for my first Artisan Market. After implementing the plan I feel very positive about organically growing my business and have even written and sent off my first marketing email! It was nice to get confirmation that what I was already doing was right and fab to get some valuable insight. I definitely reccomend having a chat with Ged to help get some focus in your business.
Nic – She Could Sew She Did
Ged’s advice, knowledge and strategic understanding has been so valuable in launching and developing my business, which includes building a client base. His support has not only given me practical help but the confidence to succeed.
Steph – Blue Sphere Holistic Massage Therapy
I had the amazing stroke of luck and fortune to meet Ged just before starting my yoga business. I knew what I wanted, but had no idea how to make it happen in real life. That’s where Ged came in! The support, advice and coaching he has given to me so far is priceless and has really helped me to get where I am now. His opinion and his continuous guidance is so important and invaluable to me.
Jess – Ginger Lemon Honey Yoga
Ged has worked with me for almost 6 months now and I’ve learnt plenty. Having been an employee since being 16, learning to be self employed has been strange and a struggle to say the least. Ged has worked at my pace and somehow stayed calm when I’ve been a bit thick headed
