Tired of being on the side line, watching other people succeed? This client was once there:
When I first launched into business some years back, my hopes were high and pressure quite low because I believed that I had what I needed, to succeed as a business woman. Money was no problem, so I was sure to invest well in my business. I graduated with a first class honours in Entrepreneurship and Start-up innovations, and I had successfully scaled many start-ups that I worked with, in my early years of practising what I studied at the university, so why would my start-up not succeed? I couldn’t find a reason and that felt great.
Three years on, the ships have downed completely. I could hardly recognise the business I invested my toil, knowledge and cash in. It was as if a spell was cast on me and I had begun doing everything wrong, but what exactly I was doing wrong, I could not figure out. Not sure I had changed anything major in my business plan or model. Things are just not coming together anymore. I hardly can pay for the office rent, not to speak of staff’s salary and it was at that point, that I said that, it was either my business took shape or I completely quit wasting time and embrace the loser, than was in me!
As Tina shared her ordeal with me, I listened as keenly as I could, yet, I could not but see the resemblance in my story, if not even worse.
I asked Tina what stage in her business did things started to face down and when business was really flourishing, what exactly was it like?
In the end, I discovered that in a bid for Tina to up level her business at some point and cross the threshold that she’d been for the past year, the structure faded and then she lost grip on what used to be her hold and it made a lot of sense to me.
I helped Tina figured out the missing piece so that she could take on the spark again. We worked on a tsix months coaching programme and by the seventh month, she was already earning two times more than she was earning when business was flourishing. I needed that message earlier on, so that I would understand Tina's journey and be able to help her do better than she was, even when her business made her happy.
As a business owner, no matter the size of your business, there is always a need for structure, accountability and repeatability.
Tina is just one of many cases. When I started my business, I lacked all three essentials and much more and it cost me so, so much. I have walked the walk and I can talk it now.
I know there are many business owners, going round in circles, looking for their next big break, without exactly having a structure as to how this will come about. Are you in this circle? I can help end the torture of hard work without the moolah to show for it.
It’s a practical step- by- step guide that you need and I’ve used this time and again, without fail. If everything else has failed, I guess you know better than continuing the pattern.
I don’t do this often, but I chose now, because currently, I’m doing a challenge with a group of people and this same pattern of not being able to effectively monetise your business and make enough money to pay bills, live well and rest well, is still very evident. So, I thought it would be great to help a few more people, before I get extremely busy.
