foundation builder
Start your business as you mean to go on.
Set Your Expectations
Are you heading out on the right path? Do you have a clear vision for where you want to be? What are your key performance indicators? How do you measure them? What are your short and long term objectives?
Build your skills and fill your knowledge gaps.
Build Your Capability
What are you good at? Where are your weaknesses and knowledge gaps? How will you fill those gaps? What will you outsource, and what will you learn? How can you prepare for those unexpected hurdles?
Three month programme, with ongoing support.
Maintain Your Motivation
Most businesses start with a flurry of positivity and enthusiasm. It is normal for that initial wave of motivation to fade. How will you prepare for that moment? How will you maintain your forward momentum?
What is Foundation Builder Coaching?
Foundation Builder is a three month programme designed specifically for business owners and self employed people in their first two years of trading. We use this model of setting expectation, building capability and driving motivation to help you improve your performance. The brutal truth is that more than half of all new businesses do not last beyond the first two years. Putting systems and practices into place early on will build the foundations of a successful business, and improve your chances of creating something solid and built to last.
The programme begins with a short Alignment Meeting to allow you to get to know Gareth, and start to build a relationship. That’s followed by the first official coached session, which will focus on setting your expectations of the business. What is your vision for the business? What are your short and long term goals? How will you measure your progress? We will work together to set the framework of your plan. A month later, we’ll meet again to review your capabilities. What are you good at? Which areas are proving profitable? Crucially, where are you struggling? What are the skills you need to supplement? How will you do it? In the third meeting, we will look at motivation and what tools you might use to maintain your focus.
Foundation Builder Coaching is a self contained three month programme but, on completion, there will be the option to continue working with Gareth on one of our ongoing programmes.
Pricing for Foundation Builder Coaching is £200 per month. We recommend the full three month programme in order to reap the benefit, but there is no obligation to continue beyond each month. Call us or use the contact form for more information.
“I have had no hesitation in referring my clients to Gareth, he has always provided excellent care and advice to my clients. I have seen him take that diligence and genuine desire to help people achieve their goals, and apply it in several different settings. Gareth is a good listener, an excellent planner and able to adapt to different clients' needs.”
