ARE YOU EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE COMMON PROBLEMS?

Are You Experiencing

Any of These Common Problems?

Time Problems

It feels like you’re busy all the time, but you’re not making any progress. You feel disorganized, like things are slipping. You know you should create systems and streamline processes, but you’re too busy putting out fires.
Vacation? What’s that??

“I can’t take time off. The place would fall apart without me.”

Team Problems

You can’t seem to hire the right people. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to do the work yourself than manage your employees. Yet you know you need people in order to expand and make your business profitable.

“I’m putting up with shit from my staff, but I can’t confront them for fear they’ll quit.”

Money Problems

Sleepless nights worried about cashflow and making payroll. Maybe some months you don’t get paid because everything else comes first. No matter how much is coming in, it’s never enough.

“I’m not bringing in enough money. I’m working too hard to make so little in return.”

Our revenues went from around $300K - $400K per year to over $3 million per year.

One of John’s innovative approaches is his compounding effect system for calculating leads to conversions and repeat buyers.

After implementing this system, we now run almost completely on repeat business – including a very large ongoing contract that we landed in part due to John’s advice during contract negotiation

~ Quentin Miller, Vanguard Painting Ltd.

My staff used to come to me for every little thing - now they run the place without me

It used to be that everything that happened in my business, somebody had to ask me a question. I was being harangued by people morning, noon and night.

Now I have time to spend with my family and get to the gym.

My plant is more productive, my employees are happier and the business is growing and profitable.

~ Fred Lyhne, Simalex Die Casting

John helped me double my productivity with better time management

I was taking meetings pretty much every day. I’d be in the middle of putting together an estimate and I’d have to set it aside to head out to a meeting. Then I’d have to come back and try to pick up where I left off.

John’s time management approach doubled my productivity. I can get so much more done in the same amount of time.

Accountability For Action & Performance

Increase Profitablity with More Sales, Better Clients, and Higher Fees

Our revenues went from around $300K - $400K per year to over $3 million per year.

After paying ourselves, we’ll have a quarter million in profit – maybe even more.

We’re making more money than we’ve ever made before.

Without a doubt, our main issue was that we weren’t charging properly. John was the only person who identified the problem – and fixing this literally turned the company around.

Now, our margins are great and we’re on pace for record profitability this year. After paying ourselves, we’ll have a quarter million in profit – maybe even more.

Confidence And Mindset Work

It’s normal to feel fear or discomfort when faced with learning something new or facing a challenging situation. I often provide support and guidance to help my clients:

Shift their beliefs and limitations (especially around selling and marketing)
Develop confidence in their pricing and the value of their work
Become more assertive when communicating
Practice and prepare for challenging confrontations
Develop a manager’s mindset and looking for tasks to delegate

Success Habits And Accountability

As the saying goes: “what got you here, won’t get you there!” Creating change requires building new habits. These may include:

Our revenues went from around $300K - $400K per year to over $3 million per year.

Get Your Time Back: Free Up 5-7 Hours Per Week - Immediately

John helps me sort out what to do, so it's not just a big blur

He breaks things down into the steps that need to be taken, and then suggests people and other resources to help to get there.

Then we get started and follow up with our progress the next week. He keeps me accountable and on track.

~ Chris McBurney, Summit Steel

Ready to take weekends off - and go on a real vacation?

Set up your business so that it runs (mostly) without you

A well-managed business runs on systems.

When you have systems in place: well-documented procedures, job descriptions, accounting and marketing systems – these systems run the business

You’re no longer the bottleneck (the only person who can make a decision or who knows what’s going on.)

Well-established systems mean that your team knows what to do and how to do it. They run the systems.

Your job is to lead those people.

Together, we will create systems for the following areas of business:

Sales And Marketing

Team Management

Financial

Our Proven Program Has Delivered Results To Over 300 Clients. Here’s How It Works

Our business has grown exponentially in the last 6 months since working with John.

I Won’t Tell You What You “should” Do

It’s your business and you get to decide what to do. I’ll provide feedback, perspective & ask questions to help you explore your options.

My role as a coach is to help you figure out the answer that is right for YOU. Since it is your answer and not mine you are much more likely to embrace and act on those ideas. And when you do, you’ll get results!

How Coaching Works And How To Get Started

This coaching program begins the moment you commit to it.

Assessment & Plan

You will fill out a comprehensive assessment – so that we know exactly where you are, what the problems are and where we need to focus next. This way we can make the most efficient use of our time and get the fastest results for you.

At our first meeting, we will go over the assessment & create a 90 day plan.

Weekly Meetings

Then we will meet every week to review your progress and work through any issues you are experiencing.

You will get one-on-one, personalized education on whatever you need: time management, goal setting, planning, sales and marketing, business systems, team management or success mindset strategies.

Our Agreement

I won’t work with anyone who isn’t actively working on their business and therefore getting a return on their coaching investment. It’s a waste of time and money for both of us. I’m just as invested in the relationship as you are.

I don’t lock people into long-term contracts. Coaching only works if both parties work – if it’s not working out, either one of us can decide to pull the pin.

The Investment And Guarantee

Coaching is an investment that usually begins to pay off immediately and will continue paying off over the life of your business. Everything you learn today you can continue to apply in the future.

If you don’t earn my fee over and above what you’re making now after 17 weeks of coaching, I will work with you at no charge until that is true.

I’ve worked with over 250 clients and only once could I not deliver that result. (Ask me about the details sometime!)

How To Get Started

If coaching with me sounds like something you’d like to explore, I invite you to book a confidential 15-minute call so we can each assess whether or not it will be a fit. If it looks like it will be a fit for both of us, we’ll schedule a longer complimentary coaching session so that you can experience what coaching is like before you commit to a longer program.

Our first call is a quick one.

We’ll have 15 minutes to chat about you, your business, and what you would ideally like to get from coaching.

If it seems like we might be a good fit to work together, we’ll set up an hour-long complimentary coaching call to do a deeper dive.
