What’s it like to be coached?

Phil Robinson, MD Paint The Town Green

Why does your business need a business coach?

Starting and building a company is a brave, bold and exciting undertaking. The emotional and financial rewards of creating a winning machine are huge.

As is the challenge you face.

There are about six million registered businesses in the UK, 80 per cent of which are single-owner operations.

Only one in 25 ever achieves annual revenue of more than £1million – and just one in 250 sees revenue above £10m.

Roughly 65 per cent of businesses go bust in their first five years –sadly, almost the same proportion do so in the second five.

And only four per cent of businesses are sold as a going concern. That’s a criminal waste of hard work, initiative and risk.

This begs 2 important  – and connected – questions:

Why don’t more business owners sell?

Why does the failure rate not fall over time? In other words, why is there no ‘experience dividend’?

The answer to both questions is actually the same. The vast majority of business owners in the UK are learning how to be a business owner ‘on the hoof’ and are more focused on profit than valuation.

That works in the short term but not in the final analysis. Because increasing the valuation of the company entails doing things that as a consequence also make it stable, more profitable and able to grow. Focusing on this is not something to do if and when you want to sell up – that’s leaving it way too late and you miss out on the benefits while you own it.

It’s what you do if you want to enjoy the experience of owning a growing company – both emotionally and financially.

There are 7 variables that help improve your company valuation all of which are long-term projects. So it requires some specialist knowledge and a constant commitment to taking the actions week after week,  month after month to build your winning machine. Just like getting fit.

This is why I’m needed to help you and would make the perfect coach and partner in your ambition.

I want you to get paid twice

My mission is to support you as a business coach and work alongside you as a long-term partner who can guide you to the success you need and want.

Our ultimate goal will be the creation of a highly profitable company run by a great team.

Your master plan should involve 3 vital elements:

First, to increase the amount you pay yourself

Second, for your involvement in the company to be consistent with your life goals

And third, to improve the value of your company to make it a sellable asset.

Get paid once in dividends. And again as the company valuation grows.
