When You Are Your Own Boss

If you’re  self-employed, a small business owner or an entrepreneur, the following may sound familiar…TOO familiar!

  • You’re too busy working IN your business (providing the service, doing the bookkeeping, being the janitor) to work ON your business (strategic planning, marketing, developing new business)
  • You became self-employed in order to have more control over your life…and yet, your work still seems to be running the show.
  • Trying to do all that needs to be done is like trying to fit five pounds of garbage into a four pound sack, and something has to give…but what?
  • You became the boss so that you wouldn’t have to answer to anyone…and are now realizing that because YOU’RE the boss, people looks to you for answers, and you need to find some…fast!
  • You’ve lost your mojo—all the hard work has taken the energy out of your original vision.
  • What was that vision, anyway?

Any of this ring a bell?  Perfect…you’re exactly the kind of person I can help!

Through personalized coaching, you will:

  • get clear about your vision for your work, in the larger context of your life as a whole
  • create a game plan that makes sense, and design strategies that support it
  • learn to make value- and principle-driven decisions, based on your own personal value compass
  • get past old unproductive habits and thought patterns that keep you stuck in the same-old, same-old
  • find new, healthier perspectives that will open up new avenues for growth, change, and well-being
  • discover your unique personal strengths and learn to leverage them to your advantage
  • create a healthier balance between life, work, play, family, health, and spirit.

Simple, right?  Yes.  Easy? Not necessarily.  Worthwhile?  ABSOLUTELY!

I can help you.

I’ll work with you to sort through the overwhelm and chaos, figure out what needs attention first, help you devise ways to fix it, and support you in following through on your plan.  Or, if needed,  kicking your butt when you don’t.  (Some clients really appreciate this.)

I offer several coaching packages, depending on your needs.

The One-Hour of Power Session   $150
