You’d think a business coach would not make the fundamental mistake of investing in the wrong business coach wouldn’t you?
But I did.
You see I’m hungry to build my business as fast as possible because I want to help as many Osteopaths around the world as I can.
My ever busy brain is constantly thinking about what you need. How else I can help you? What else can I put into my online courses to help you get busier? Or simply, what’s a really great blog title to inspire you?
I totally value the business coach I’ve worked with for a few years. She has honed my skills, inspired me and kicked me up the backside when I’ve dithered too!
But I wanted more and I felt like I needed to boost my business still further. So I got into bed with some rather gorgeous thriving fellas…
They filled my head with pictures of amazing success and held out the carrot of becoming an industry influencer. I got a wee bit excited.
I invested a huge sum of money
The Old Boy wanted to know how much. So I told him and he winced. You have to speculate to accumulate, I reminded him cheerily as I dashed off to the first training session in London.
Yawn. I came home again. It was a very long day and I had made some lovely new friends; all wanting to develop their businesses. I knew this stuff inside out and taught it daily but presumed that they were simply getting everyone on the same page.
The following month, I went again and hooked up with my new mates. I dug a little deeper into their businesses. I found that many didn’t even have one yet…
I listened well, made copious notes about the value of a brochure, promised to design one and came home again.
Their methodology was all wrong for me
Now these guys are really lovely fellas – which I may have mentioned already…
BUT the principles that they were teaching me were exactly what I already teach my Clients on my courses and in my private client work.
Their fundamental blueprint was what I already knew and was applying daily. Finally, I realised that I was paying a huge sum of money for them to coach me on pitching for corporate business.
My business is 99.9% online, stretching around the globe. Only one little Osteo darling skips up to my Osteobiz HQ front door for a hug, a cuppa and a weekly business building session. I do love that though!
And what was I going to do with a flipping printed brochure? Feed it down the internet cable?
I don’t mind if you don’t choose me as your business coach!
Really I don’t! But I do want you to learn from my costly mistake.
I have a variety of interesting enquiries every day.
Some aren’t actually ready to take action and make some changes.
Some are comfortable in their struggle.
Some are merely exploring and wonder if they can muddle on a bit longer by themselves.
Others appreciate that I’m a specialist in my Osteobiz niche and worth investing in and harnessing for speedy results.
Whatever they decide is right for them. I don’t promise astounding results. I don’t massage their ego. I don’t blow smoke up anywhere either!
However, I’m a down to earth farmer’s daughter who has an entrepreneurial eye for spotting your opportunities. I dive in with practical solutions. And I have a knack for seeing what you often can’t. I explore your individual circumstances and identify what steps you can take next to grow your patient numbers. One size certainly does not fit all!
I work very hard with my private clients to build their businesses, make them more successful and earn more for their families. I inspire reluctant or shy Osteopaths to interact more competently with their communities. And I encourage them to embrace new ideas and implement effective strategies, to deliver the results they seek.
Although, apparently, I’m a bit quirky. So I’m certainly not for everyone and that’s OK with me.
Just watch out for those who will fill your head with wild promises whilst eyeing up your wallet…
I’ve recently upgraded, overhauled and improved my private coaching packages for even better value and results.
