Business Coaching

Business owners already go through an unbelievable amount of hard work to get their businesses up and running, much less grow it to a successful business.

Imagine if in addition to all the “normal” challenges to being a business owner, you had another challenge thrown at you from left field? A challenge that could not only affect your business, but also your life?

That’s exactly what happened to Michele Alexander, a top business coach, when one morning, she woke up completely deaf. Alexander isn’t a business owner herself, but a certified business coach. Not being able to hear her clients, business owners, who needed to work through business issues, could have proved detrimental, but she managed to get through the day. She didn’t let any of her clients down, despite the fact that she couldn’t hear them!

Michele’s experience going through what seems like an impossible challenge — business coaching clients while deaf — just goes to show the lengths certified business coaches go to to make sure their clients succeed and reach their utmost potential.

Fall is approaching.

With the change in weather, often this is the time of year when most people get sick. And even worse this year, in addition to viruses running rampant, a pandemic is going around, too.There have been about 70 deaths from swine flu in the U.S. so far this year, and people are taking precautions against the pandemic. Sometimes it takes a pandemic like the swine flu to force people to really take care of themselves; 40,000 deaths per year in the U.S. are from seasonal flu.

This can actually be compared to business. Let’s say an aspect of your business gets a “fever” – maybe you’ve never kept track of your numbers and it’s catching up to you – your business is at risk of getting sick.

Just like not getting enough sleep will eventually catch up to you and cause your immune system to weaken, not keeping all departments and business systems in top health will eventually catch up with your business.

Your company will be “sick” until you work to make it better. And that’s never good – sickness can slow any business down, and even cost it in sales, marketing or budget.

If your business gets a cold, treat it. Because if you let it go, before you know it, it could develop into something worse – like the swine flu.
