Why do small businesses stay
small?
A small business is like a small tree – it wants to grow.
A little earth, a little rain, a little sunshine, and up it goes – barring accidents, to huge!
If your small business isn’t growing as you think it
should, there’s probably a good reason.
I’m a small business coach –more specifically, a growth specialist for small business owners.
That is, I help business owners find answer to questions about growth and help.

Quick Example:
Steve was a fine musician, bought a music school. When I first met him, he thought he might be losing money. (yep!) Also, he wasn’t playing or performing very much, and working 24/7.
Three years later, Steve has promoted himself to CEO. He understands every number on his balance sheet, including the income growth and profit numbers. He plays and performs more. And he’s now decided to take on a PhD in his spare time!
Want more time? Many of my clients have discovered that we’ve found them more time, or more control of it.
Reena commented: “Craig – the best thing I ever did was to create ‘Reena time.’ I got so much done in a couple of days that I haven’t been able to do in a long time.”

The Small Business Coaching Menu:
1. Putting off important things. We all do it. It’s incredibly easy to do, and stupid! Focus is the key. Your own effectiveness is the benefit. This is not an a la carte item – it comes on the dinner, and is critical to the success of your meal.
2. Time management #1-. A la carte. You can choose between time-scarcity and time-abundance. Be time’s master or its servant. managing priorities, processes and tasks Actually, nothing has to change except you. Definitely a-la-carte.
3. Time Management #2 -, Uses the revolutionary new technology of single-tasking to help you transform your do-list
4. Goals. Comes on the dinner. If you’re not willing to set goals you don’t need coaching. (Perhaps sympathy?) Goal-setting is the most cherished, most powerful and most avoided practice in small business!. Perhaps you can guess the reason.
5. Sales process. There’s general agreement that the sales process starts with the introduction, ends with the close. Where arguments take place is what goes in between. We’ll visit one of my favorite Gurus for enlightenment.
6. Referrals - 7 steps to profit without expense.
7. Being a CEO. Chief Executive Officer – instead of a CE: Chief Employee. Many small business operators want A, do B. Have a look! You have choices.
