Quickstart Group Coaching

The Three Reasons why you’re working too hard and not making enough money:

If you’re a small business owner, chances are you’re working long hours and not making the money you deserve because your business is wrapped around you. When the economy was strong, this is frustrating but your business could still get along.

In a slow economy you don’t have the luxury of inefficiency: Only the businesses that run at peak efficiency with an owner who’s ahead of the game (instead of mired in details) will survive. But most small businesses struggle with the same problems that prevent efficiency and hurt competitiveness.

Three Problems

• The owner suffers needlessly: Most small businesses are built on the owner’s technical skills and energy, but as the business grows the demand on the owner’s time and energy increases, eventually to a breaking point. Ownership becomes a burden.
  
  
• The business drastically underperforms: As the load increases, your capacity to juggle the details and make good decisions diminishes. Balls start to drop, things are delayed or forgotten, committments are missed. Planning is ignored as short term firefighting takes precedence. All this translates to poor operational performance, poor financial performance, and a poor competitive position.
  
  
• The business can’t grow: If you’re doing any of the key operational work and there’s no more time to do any more, that’s the maximum size of the business. Business capacity equals your capacity, and growth stops there. You’re the bottleneck.

A single solution: The Standalone Business

It sounds like a broken record, but it’s really true: The solution is to create a standalone business that doesn’t depend on you. Here’s why:

1. Lets you off-load most of your tasks and still get the desired results. A standalone business doesn’t depend on you to do everything: it allows you to get great results from your employees and frees you from the firefighting so you can actually manage the place. And sleep at night.
   
   
2. Optimizes performance via robust processes. This way, everything is done the same way (the right way), nothing falls through cracks, and the business runs more efficiently. Fewer mistakes, more consistency, more profit, more competitive.
   
   
3. Removes the owner-created bottleneck. A standalone business can easily expanded because its systems can grow without loss of performance and without requiring you to handle more operational details or decisions.

QuickStart Coaching Program: Here’s what you get.

This is program that helps you create a standalone business at your own pace, in sensible steps, using a method that’s been proven over many years in all types and sizes of businesses.

The program includes:

1. Two live group coaching sessions each month, personally conducted by Jayme or Richard.
   
   Each month you’ll have members-only access to 2 hour-long group coaching sessions with Jayme or Richard. The first session covers one of the key steps to creating a Standalone Business, including practical solutions you can implement right away. The second session is entirely Q&A where you can get expert guidance for whatever’s on you mind. Miss a session? No problem, the calls are recorded and will be made available to you for 24/7 access.
   
   
2. Standalone Solutions Library
   
   A hundred-plus one page solutions to the most common business issues facing owners. Easy to read and practical, this library contains all the newsletters and articles we’ve published over the past 10 years and covers a lot of ground ($249)
   
   
3. On-Line Discussion Forum:
   
   This is the place to interact with other members who share your goal of creating a standalone business. You can post questions, get feedback and find tips to help you move forward. We sit in on the forum regularly and post answers and advice. This a great way to stay connected and supported 24/7. ($59/mo or $708)
   
   
4. Coaching Webinar Library
   
   The library is where you’ll find all the past Coaching Session webinar recordings. Each month or so another will be added. (This is a new feature, so the SBI webinars will start appearing in January, 2010. In the meantime, there are 6 webinars from our sister company, Contractor’s Business School, currently available)

To put it all together, the total estimated value of the Quickstart Coaching Program is:

Is it really worth $2,500? No, not even close. It’s worth way, way more and here’s why: If you implement just one or two of these techniques in your business and improve your profitability, are more competitive, and lower your workload and stress, what would that be worth to you? How about more time with your family and a good night’s sleep? Is all that worth $2,000? $5,000? $10,000? More?

Then we hope that you’d agree that it’s a pretty good deal for $47. You can sign up right now for $47 and download all the materials and listen to two live coaching sessions. If you don’t think it’s a great deal, just let us know and you can keep everything and we’ll refund your money within the first 30 days with no delays or hassles. Otherwise, we’ll charge your card $47 each month and you’ll continue having access to the live coaching sessions plus the always-expanding resource libraries. And, of course, you can stop whenever you wish.
