BOOST Business Coaching

I came across this article below from Dave Fingers the other day. He is a Small Business Coach based in Denver in the U.S.

He is talking about small businesses and the need to have a strong vision. I have previously posted about BOOST s own small business vision and thought it would be good to publish Daves article on my blog as I found that it resonates nicely with my own thoughts

Dave Fingers – OneCoach Denver

I was talking to a small business owner a few months ago about her business in this current economic condition.

As I typically do when talking to business owners I asked her, “how is business?”

“Oh, O.K. I guess”, she replied.

I could hear the defeat in her voice, so I asked a few more questions to get a better idea of what her current struggles might be.

She has had her business for almost 2 years and has just been getting by…some really good months and some really bad months she told me…mostly bad.

As a curious Denver business coach I asked, “Well, what is your vision for your company”?

She told me that her vision was to pay the bills and keep her business afloat.

Well guess what? That is exactly what she was getting.

Many people I talk to think that a vision for a business is something that only large corporations do. Although, large corporations do this, they do it because it works!

If it works for large companies, why wouldn’t it work for small business too?

A small business vision helps to create a roadmap for the business owner. Think of growing your business like taking a journey. You have to know the destination, or you will have a tough time getting there.

A small business coach acts as a trip planner in a way. We help business owners create a clear vision on where they want their business to be and what they want it to look like.

In life, as in business you create what you focus on. So, in the case of the business owner I spoke about above, she was focused on paying the bills and keeping her business afloat…that was her vision for her company. As a result, she was creating a business that was just making it.

If you can not see it in your mind, or you can not define it you can not create it.

In business, you are either growing or shrinking. There is no status quo. Having a clear vision is the first step to growth. Not having a vision is the first step to fading away.

Now something very important to mention here is that your vision has to be followed up with a plan that you implement.

That is why a good small business coaching programs help you to develop a plan and implement it once you have created a small business vision.

What about the business owner I talked about above that had no vision?

She is now going through a Denver business coaching program and has already tripled her income from last year.

Oh yeah…she has a very strong business vision that she thinks about everyday.
