Setting up a Business

Use Business Coaching to really be in control of your life

In one way the idea of having your own business is tantalising: what a great way it would be to change your life, match your work to your lifestyle and follow your passion.

Looked at another way, it’s scary, financially risky and you’re not sure you’re made for it. And you’re not sure it’s going to work.

• Are you wondering about the steps you need to consider when setting up a consulting business?
• Are you thinking about ideas for starting a home based business?
• Want to be your own boss for a change?
• Do you want to match your work to your lifestyle aspirations?
• Is it that you want to quit the rat race and go for your own business?
• Do you already have a business but feel challenged about how to grow it?
• Are you simply thinking of making the leap but aren’t too sure?

Steps to consider when setting up a business

You might be getting close to making decisions. You might have some ideas but need to think them through with skilled help. You might be trying to make up your mind what to do. You might need to do some goal-setting and action planning. You might need help to get or stay on track and achieve your goals:

• Business planning
• Appropriate legal format for your needs
• Developing your business idea
• Awareness of tax issues
• The finances
• Developing a marketing plan
• Selling yourself
• Managing sales meetings
• Consultancy, interim management and portfolio careers

This are all situations where getting good coaching can make all the difference. Running a business can be a lonely affair. “Out there” seems a scary place and it can look like you’ve got to do it all on your own. Not so! There’s a whole host of possibilities and skilled help can help you see how to make the most of things.
