Business Consulting and Coaching

This is our program for entrepreneurs and executives to get focused and achieve more. People often sell themselves short in business by avoiding what they don’t know how to do. It’s a natural tendency but one that makes you increasingly averse to risk. Our program allows you to learn new skills and pursue new knowledge possibilities in a safe, supportive and confidential way.

One thing we have learned about entrepreneurs is they are typically great starters. They love the beginnings of things. They have a vision, they develop a concept and then they are off to the races.

All of a sudden, their role has shifted. The new role is no longer new.

The entrepreneur in you may never recognize this shift or the ripples it causes in your business. Things like internal friction, sales reaching plateaus, slippage in profit, less than desirable systems and costs which continue to rise.

Many business owners see these as simply problems, rather than deep issues, so they try to fix them with the same tools they used to start the business. Passion, drive and working harder. After all, it got you a win the first time, right?

It doesn’t work.

Our program encourages you when you hit a seemingly impossible challenge, you have the confidence and resolve to face-it head on with a strategy that fits operating and growing a business. Also, with a support person from our team to be an outside and non-emotional voice to help you stay balanced, objective and see any blind-spots that may occur.

Outcomes Include: A Balanced Scorecard, One-year to Five-year strategic plan, Key Capacities, Key Initiatives, Core Differentiation & Brand Strategy, Accountability Strategies

Time Investment: 6 months to 5-years depending on business size, scope and complexity

“I have used Tony for a few years and I have been amazed with the impact he has made on the way we do business. Given today’s business environment and the speed at which things change it becomes necessary for an organization to develop a culture of growth minded employees cable of moving forward in unison. Tony worked with our employees and me to grow individually to where we have learned as we grow so does our company. This has allowed us to become a team of leader who can take on personal accountability throughout the organization.

For me, I believe it is his personal experiences and background that has made him one of the best at what he does. Thank you Tony”- Ken Thoenen, Action Real Estate
