Private Mentoring Programs

In our private mentoring programs you receive the valuable tools, training, and guidance you need to make your business a satisfying and profitable success.

One of the goals of the mentoring program is to improve your business rapidly, so that you are actually getting more back from working with me than you are paying… as soon as possible. Depending on the business you are in this could be in the first month we work together.

Take Control of Your Business

[4 sessions per month, for 6 months - may continue in the program for a maximum of 2 more times. Includes a 4 hours initial bonus session to assess where you and your business are, identify the biggest issues, and craft a strategy to move forward.]

This program is for the small to medium business owner whose business has outgrown his ability to manage it. He works hard, long hours and still can't get everything accomplished that he needs to.

His business is making money but he has become the bottleneck to its further growth and he is sick of his business. He is seriously thinking of chucking it, even though he doesn't know how he would live. He is on the edge of burnout.

In the Take Control of Your Business program we transform the systems, processes, employee management, vendor management, policies and procedures so the owner doesn't have to do it all. At the same time, we improve customer service and satisfaction, improve employee morale, increase profitability, and address the mindset to become the CEO of the company. Advanced clients are positioned to take their business into the medium-sized business category (if they aren't already there.)

Boost Your Business

[3 sessions per month, for 6 months - may continue in the program for up to 2 more times (6 months each). After that, would be expected to graduate to the next level if choosing to continue or do the Maintain Momentum program for a 6 month period if desired.]

This program is for the small business owner (including the solo entrepreneur) who has been in business full time for at least two years but doesn't have the income that he needs/wants. He is looking for more customers/clients but is doing everything he knows how to do, already.

In Boost Your Business we transform marketing, customer service, strategic alliances, referral partners, and the mindset to boost a business. We also address the practicalities of hiring employees (or outsourcing/sub contracting work) to ensure they are an asset to the business.

Build Your Business - Fast Track

[3 sessions per month, for 6 months - may continue in the program for another 6 months or elevate to the Boost Your Business program depending on appropriateness.]

This program is for the new business owner who wants to fast track his business and not spend two years figuring it all out.  This program is perfect for the ex-corporate employee who has decided to take his severance, combine it with savings and make the leap to business ownership. It is also a good fit for the "pseudo-employee" contractor who is ready to take the leap to become a full-fledged business owner.

This program will cover all the things in the Build Your Business (basic) program but much faster with more work to be done between sessions.

We transform the new business owner into an experienced entrepreneur comfortable with the fundamentals of business, including legal and tax ramifications, business structure, creating a business plan, how to work the plan, cash flow, when to hire employees and when to outsource, the basics of marketing, networking, sales, and using the internet to your advantage.

We also cover the mindset of a business owner and how it differs from that of an employee.

Build Your Business

[2 sessions per month, for 6 months - may continue in the program for up to 2 years]

This program is for the new business owner (or a want-to-be business owner). The business owner is still learning the ropes of business and what it means to own and run a business.

The new business owner may not even be sure of the business he should be in or how he should position it (even though he may have already started a business.)

The business owner may even be trying to build his business as a part-time venture as he builds the foundation of it.

We transform the new business owner into an experienced entrepreneur comfortable with the fundamentals of business, including legal and tax ramifications, business structure, creating a business plan, how to work the plan, cash flow, when to hire employees and when to outsource, the basics of marketing, networking, sales, and using the internet to your advantage.

We also address the mindset of a business owner and how it differs from that of an employee.

Note:  We do have a Maintain Momentum program that is available to clients who have been through their program level but aren't ready to move to the next level, yet.  It is also available for the clients who feel like they have a handle on their business but still want the accountablity and support that will help them stay on top.  This program is only open to past and current clients. If you are a past or currrent client and are interested in this program, please contact me.
