When people think of becoming an entrepreneur, they often imagine working endlessly without a guarantee of making ends meet. It’s still common for people to believe owning a business requires working overtime and sacrificing their personal lives to advance in their business. But working longer hours doesn’t guarantee you’ll make more money. The key to business success is using your time wisely to manage these significant areas of your business: time, team, and money. In other words: your growth depends on what purposeful work you accomplish during the time you already have. Time efficiency may seem elusive and complex to a busy business owner trying to manage daily business operations, and fortunately, certified business coaches are available to provide professional support. A business coach trained in globally successful behavioral tactics and strategic business practices is a great way to commit to using effective time management strategies.

The 80/20 Method

When clients hire a business coach, many are surprised to learn that only 20% of their business activities contribute to growth. I help my clients reverse this dynamic and focus on the 80% of activities conducive to growth and development.

Developing Effective Marketing Strategies

The way you present yourself to the market, whether online or in person is incredibly important to differentiate your business. Consumers look for authenticity and consistency. As a business coach, I will guide you on your marketing strategy, messaging and competitive intelligence. If you need additional engagement, I can act as a marketing consultant and lead the development of all of these things. Consumers and businesses do much of their research online, and often have preconceived ideas on the products and services you provide. Sales leaders today need to develop relationships with customers, ask the right questions, and establish trust. I can help you boost the effectiveness of your sales team through proven training and workshops developed by BrianTracy, a world-renowned business development executive and co-founder of FocalPoint Business Coaching.

Simplifying Your Workload

Complex tasks require more time, money, people, and resources. I help my clients operate in line with the Rockefellar Habits by helping you to ensure your employees are doing the right and optimizing the process to extract more productivity. It’s called doing the right things right, and it’s all about objectively looking at existing operational processes. I work side-by-side with my clients to eliminate an average of 30% of unnecessary steps in their daily objectives to complete them quicker, using fewer resources and a lower risk of error.

Delegation

We’ll work on improving your delegation to get daily business goals accomplished. No more extra hours spent on tasks your leaders and team can handle, so you can manage other responsibilities that are more strategic for your business and schedule much needed time off.

Strategically Assign Tasks

Beyond delegation, assigning tasks requires that you first validate that you are spending the time on the things that align with your core goals, and second that you assign the task to the person with the relevant skills. Finally, and of extreme importance is that you are explicit in expectations for what good looks like and timeframe for completion. I help people go from pitching tasks over the fence to assigning tasks to the best person to get the job done.

Using a Business Activity Schedule

Clients learn to efficiently complete daily tasks using a schedule to help their team achieve its most important goals.

Follow a Strategic Plan

Creating a comprehensive strategic plan is your roadmap to achieving mid and long-term goals and will help you stay on track to business growth and development within the specified amount of time. You’ll focus on purposeful goals, delegate effectively, and create a list of resources to prevent potential delays.
