Coaching for Entrepreneurs

If you are a new or a young entrepreneur, building a business can be a challenging and
completely enjoyable experience. Or you may find yourself working constantly at the edge of your experience; you're out of ideas, experience and money all at the same time.

As a coach there are several ways in which I, or others who offer similar services can assist you.

First, I would ask what drives you? I can tell you that what drives all of us is needs and values. Our needs motivate us for short term achievements and our values, those ideas that guide us over the long term keep us on track and sustain us in our efforts to fit in, or explore new ideas.

There is probably no greater exercise for entrepreneurs than to go through some serious thinking and prioritization of their own personal values. Coaches usually have a set of guidelines and exercises that are useful and with an understanding of what ideas about right and wrong direct your actions, interactions with others and the relationships you form, you can then describe to others how they can also be successful in working with you.

Second, I'd explore with you what I call the 8 Equities of Life. We'd talk about the different roles you assume in your life and again what kind of priority you place on each of those roles. Sometimes your own priority is not compatible with the demands of running a small business.
Better to understand that in advance than try to work through ambivalent feelings about
values as you are working to build your business.

The 8 Equities are: Physical, Personal, Financial, Psychological, Social, Intellectual, Professional, Spiritual, and when you study and put them in perspective according to your own life, you get a clearer picture of what has meaning for you, and what does not.

Once we had this kind of information, I'd also recommend a Behavior Profile, to help you learn more about yourself, your behavior tendencies, and how those tendencies will help or hinder your responsibilities as a leader in your business.

If you are seeking some counsel on how to improve your personal leadership skills and capabilities, or how to improve your entrepreneurial organization, perhaps we can be of service.
