I just returned from the ActionCOACH Global Conference in Beijing, China and the trip helped me put our journey as a company in perspective. When I started with ActionCOACH, the idea of holding our Global Conference in China didn’t seem realistic, but now it has been done.
Our Founder, Brad Sugars, has a goal to bring abundance to the world through business coaching and today we have more than 1000 firms in 44 countries, including our latest additions, Lebanon and Turkey.
We are helping thousands of businesses every day and sponsoring major initiatives like the Business Excellence Forum and Awards and Coaching for a Cause, so I think we’re off to a good start in achieving Brad’s goal, but there is still room for improvement.
No matter how many success stories people see, there are still some that refuse to believe their business needs a coach.
But as the economy continues to struggle (for some) it’s becoming clearer every day that to have a business that thrives, coaching isn’t just important, it’s necessary.
Think about it, if Bill Gates and Warren Buffet each have a business coach, why shouldn’t you?
You wouldn’t be able to run your business properly without someone doing your books or going over your contracts would you?
So why do you think it can run properly without someone who makes sure you’re accountable and that you have strategies to ensure your business is meeting your goals and growing?
If you are a business owner, you know you spend a lot of time working IN your business, which doesn’t leave a lot for working ON your business. When owners get caught up in the day to day activities, they neglect the long term growth of the company. They just can’t help it. After all, there are only so many hours in the day.
Working with an ActionCOACH Business Coach gets you off that treadmill. Our definition of a business is a profitable, commercial enterprise that works… without you. and this is what the coaches at ActionCOACH are trained to do for you.
Do you need a way to get more customers in the door or boost your profit margins? If you’re focused on the day to day of your business, you may be neglecting areas involved with growing your business.
But an ActionCOACH Business Coach has strategies for that and hundreds of other ways to build your profits while giving you more time to enjoy life… and they will keep you accountable to the long term growth and health of your business at the same time.
