No clear strategy
I’m busy, but I couldn’t tell you where the business will be in two years.
Every big decision lands on me, usually late at night.
What we work on together
- A written twelve-month goal with numbers attached
- A ninety-day plan broken into fortnightly commitments
- A regular rhythm for working on the business, not just in it
Sales and marketing that stall
Quotes go out and we never follow them up.
I know I should post and raise prices. It just never happens.
What we work on together
- Knowing where your best customers actually come from
- A simple follow-up process for every quote and enquiry
- Pricing reviewed with the numbers on the table
- AI to draft the follow-ups and marketing you keep putting off
Missing tools, IT and AI
We run the business on spreadsheets, sticky notes and my memory.
Everyone says use AI. Nobody says where to start, or what’s safe.
What we work on together
- Which tools are worth paying for, and which to ignore
- AI set up on your real admin: emails, quotes, documents, reports
- The privacy and consumer law basics, before anything goes into a tool
- Ascentix specialists to build what needs building
No processes, no breathing space
If I took a fortnight off, the business would stop.
My team keeps asking me things they should already know.
What we work on together
- Your core processes written down so someone else can follow them
- Clear ownership: who does what, and what good looks like
- Handing off the jobs that only happen because you do them
- Fewer hours that you personally work, measured every quarter
Every problem shows up in the same six areas
The four problems above are what owners feel. The six areas are how we measure them: scored in the webinar workbook, properly in the Health Check, and again every quarter in coaching.
Strategy & Mindset
Where the business is going, and how the big decisions actually get made.
- Can you say in one sentence what you do, and who for?
- Is there a written goal for the next twelve months with a number attached?
- When did you last spend time on the business rather than in it?
Coaching is educational and motivational support. It is not accounting, tax, legal or financial advice, and it is no substitute for your accountant, bookkeeper or lawyer. No outcome is guaranteed.
Not sure which problem is yours?
That is normal. Most businesses have two. Thirty minutes on a call, or ninety in a free Health Check, will tell you which to fix first.
