What A Business Mentor Can Do for Your Business.

As your business goes from strength to strength, you too are evolving as a person, a business owner, an entrepreneur and a leader.

It is often said that leaders are not born they are made. This is the journey you have been undertaking as your business grows and evolves.  Whilst your product or offering could be unique or very specialised, what you are doing in running your business is not.

Attracting new customers, finding leads, making sales and running your business on a day to day basis is all pat of normal business activities.  This is good for you because it means there are proven systems and models you can use every day to scale your business or find new leads.

It also means there is a wealth of knowledge you can tap in to, and get valuable advice from, stacking the odds in your favour.

A business coach is an experienced business person and it is ever likely they have already encountered the same things you are up against now in your business.  This puts them in a really strong position to be able to help you, support you and get you through this.

 

Knowing your Numbers

You did not get into business for the smiles, rainbows and hugs, you got into it to make money. A business needs to have money flowing around to get the day to day business tasks done and to do business.

Knowing your numbers is critical, simple things like how much does it cost to acquire a customer and how much is a customer worth to your business.  Too many business owners only look at the P & L at the end of the month or even worse at the end of the year. Really you need to be focusing on your figures every week to know what is working and what is not working.

A good business mentor will be able to teach you how to use a scorecard for you business and keep a track of the critical numbers every month.  Discussing these numbers and understanding where you can make small changes, will have a dramatic effect on your business.

 

 

Business Opportunities

Where are you positioned in business, who is your ideal customer, who do you want to serve?

Do you know how to find new customers or how to attract customers?

The ideal position you want to be in, is one of leads on tap, phone ringing for new business and thriving – but how do you get there?  If you have always been serving a select audience, then you may not know what other audiences you could be serving.

A great business mentor will help you position yourself as the expert in your field and make your business the go to business that your customers really need.  Your mentor should teach you how to find opportunites and what you should be doing on a daily basis to grow your business.

Business Longevity

Let’s face it, business is not easy.  Long nights and early mornings, lack of sleep, the meetings you have to power through. These are just a few of the things you have to face as a business person. Over time, these things take a toll on you and your business, slowly wearing you down.

The statistics are grim, up to 30 percent of businesses do not make it past 24 months of existence and this increases to 50 percent failing by the fifth year of existence.

However, when you look at businesses that employed the services of a business coach or a business mentor, a whopping 80 percent survived well past their fifth year and their businesses thrived.

You have worked too hard to have your business go under after a few years. Make the best decision for your business by getting a business coach or business mentor today!

This is just one of the ways Osmond Maguire Business Coaching can help you today, perhaps you are not ready for Business Coaching and Business Mentoring would be better suited to help you out now.  Either way we have a solution that will work for you.

You need to pick up your phone and have a conversation with Osmond, let him know your goals and where you want your business to be.

Lets work together to put your business as the only one in town worth using!
