In traditional coaching, coaches will often rely on individual coaching models which can help them keep focused on a process that helps a client move forward.

It’s rare, though, that they will have a full system that sees a client explore every aspect of their life.

However, in business coaching, a comprehensive, logical system provides a much needed structure to explore the business in all its important aspects.

Whether you have been already trained as a business coach with a full system or whether you devise your own, you need to be able to “sell” a process that enables you and the business owner to take a clear, structured look at the business.

I’ve personally been at the receiving end of business coaching which feels somewhat aimless and directionless because the coach was taking a person-centred approach to the coaching.  In others words, they were allowing me to dictate the content we covered.

Whilst that might sound the right approach (we all like to be in control as clients, don’t we?), in fact, business owners usually don’t know what they don’t know and don’t know what they should be considering.

The role of a small business coach is to ensure that the business owners considers all the elements of their business which can effect their profit, growth, operations, systems and much more.  And that needs a clear structure.

There’s also an important psychological dimension to this too.

Business clients like to feel they’re on a journey that is going to get results.  They want to feel that it’s being made up as it goes along!  Think about it now.  If they know that step-by-step they will address all the elements of the business that affect its success they’ll feel confident that they’ll discover and implement the improvements they need to make.  And so they’ll stick with you as a coach.

There’s nothing more frustrating for a business owner than to feel you’re just talking or, as often happens when thinking about what’s NOT working, moaning about the business!  Your system will ensure your client focuses on uncovering where real change can take place.

As a Rapid Results Business Coach, you’ll follow a powerful, long term process exploring: Power Vison; Reality Check; Critical Fixes; Rapid Results; Unstoppable Growth and finally a Process Review.  It’s simple yet fully comprehensive and the client can see the journey ahead of them.

If you haven’t got a system yet, then create one now and make sure it works!
