COACHING
You need a coach who has played the game of business with both great failure, and epic success. You need someone on your team who continues to have hands on experience as a business owner. I’ve published 15 books at the pace of the energizer bunny and will continue long into the future. I’ve also had more than 22 years of experience as an entrepreneur.
In 1998, I co-founded Essential Wholesale which was listed as an INC Magazine 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America three years in a row. I started Essential Wholesale in my kitchen with a $50 investment. My business partner and I sold the company for millions in 2011. Through Essential Wholesale, Ology Essentials, private consultations, publications and public speaking, I have literally been involved in thousands of businesses. The root of all of my success has been from helping other small business owners succeed.
In 2017 I co-founded Ology Essentials with my son Keegan and daughter-in-law Haleigh. Ology Essentials is leading the way in the hemp CBD industry, providing wholesale, white label, private label, and retail products. We work with companies around the world to produce the highest quality luxury cosmetics with and without hemp CBD.
I haven’t held a traditional job since 1997. Not every business idea has been a success, but every one of them taught me several worthwhile lessons. My coaching experience comes from what I learned in my own business failures and successes—not from a textbook.
Wherever you are in the process of starting up, stuck in the weeks, paralyzed with fear, busy trying to get your ducks in a row, or buried because your business is wildly successful, I have been there and done that. Wherever you are in your journey, I can guide you to the next step. If you need a cheerleader, nag, task-master or coach, I have you covered. I am happy to help if you just need an hour to help you focus or want to set up a series of coaching calls.
A lifetime of entrepreneurship is very doable. It isn’t easy, but it is possible.
COACHING FOR ENTREPRENEURS–$295 PER HOUR
Your coaching hour includes research before our call, the call itself, and any follow up information we agree to after our call. Connect with me via the contact form.
Why Hire a Coach?
Athletes never think twice about hiring a coach. So why are you second guessing the value of a coach in your business? A coach enables you to reach the highest level of performance. According to an ICF Global Coaching Client Study, “Most clients reported improved work performance, better business management, more efficient time management, increased team effectiveness, and more growth and opportunities. The same study found that coaching clients noted greater self-confidence, enhanced relationships, more effective communications skills, better work-and-life balance and an improvement in wellness. Nearly 70 percent of individuals indicated they had at least made back their initial investment.”
According to the same ICF Global Coaching report, “The vast majority of companies (86%) say they at least made their investment back. In fact, almost one-fifth (19%) saw a ROI of 50 times their investment, while another 28 percent saw a ROI of 10 to 49 times the investment. Nearly all companies or individuals who hire a coach are satisfied. According to the ICF Global Coaching Client Study, a stunning 99 percent of people who were polled said they were somewhat or very satisfied with the overall coaching experience.”
