Why you need an Action Centre Business Coach

Business Coaching is more than a hired external consultant. Our Melbourne based business coaching team are long-term mentors, drawing from their experience and knowledge to assist business owners to build up their business.

Great achievers, whether in sport, music or entertainment all have a support network of coaches and advisors around them. Action Centre’s business coaches work in the same way to support, guide and encourage owners in their world of business to achieve goals and reach the next level.

To get ahead in today’s competitive and face-paced environment, business owners need to manage sales, marketing, systems and teams and also be in a position to look at growth and future capability. It’s virtually impossible to be in multiple places at the same time and that’s where our business coaching team of mentors can step in to assist.

Here’s what an Action Centre Business Coach does for you:

Your Action Centre Business Coach will wear many hats, and are similar to a mentor or a member of your personal Board of Directors when you discuss your reports, future plans and findings. We want to see your business grow and reach each milestone such as increased profits, expanding your business and mastering your financial position.

Are you ready for a business coach?

It’s hard to see the wood for the trees so we’ll make it easier for you by asking you a few questions first. Following are some statements, read through them and check if any apply to you.

You are working too many hours and are pretty sure that if you left for a holiday, things wouldn’t work anywhere near as well as they do now.
You’re ready to make a whole lot more profit.
You’re ready to build a team that can grow your business whether you’re there or not.
You feel the need to fall in love with your business again, you’re bored and sick of it all.
You know that to grow you need to learn more, but can’t find the time to keep up with all the change.
You aren’t being made accountable and need someone to push, cajole, encourage, congratulate you on a job well done.
You’re snowed under and need fresh eyes for objective input to help you see the path again.
You know your product like the back of your hand but not sure if you’re going in the right direction with your Marketing, Finance, Converting your Leads, Cashflow, Leadership, Systems, building your Team, Logistics, and/or creating your Business Plans.

If you have found yourself saying yes to any of these questions call us on 1300 971 763. Our specialised team of Action Centre Business Coaches in Melbourne can help you in all these circumstances and many more.

Before you start coaching

Before you take to the field, first place yourself in the position of an elite athlete - prepare yourself for the journey and remain open to the experience.

The first thing to do before coaching is ask yourself “am I willing to commit the time?”. Giving dedicated time is essential. For those of you researching a business coach, it already suggests you are well aware of your need. It also means you are committed to working with a mentor to pinpoint your problem areas, meet your personal/business goals and change your strategies.

The second question to ask yourself is “am I coachable?”. You might find yourself saying “Yes I know but…”, or have difficulty delegating and say “I’ll take me longer to explain, I’ll just do it myself”. You may be finding it hard to be objective about your role as you have investing many hours into building your business to where it is today. We can help with providing much needed clarity and objectivity.
