The above testimonial video is an update from the below video. Both were recorded at two different points a year apart in Adam Brown’s journey with us. We’ve included both to show the growth Adam has experienced to date and the rate at which his company is progressing.
His business had been making a loss, and Adam had been feeling the stress of this, but was unsure how to resolve it. Furthermore, he felt quite alone in the business, with no support.
With the situation as it was, bringing a coach on board seemed like the obvious solution.
“I just thought, why not?”
The first step in the journey with ActionCOACH Wakefield was to have a full understanding and visibility of the business’s financial situation.
Adam openly admits this involved a lot of work and the creation of a lot of spreadsheets!
However, having that understanding of the finances was key for Adam, giving him the figures to back up business decisions he was making.
“Now you just don’t seem as blind when you look into things.”
It was also essential for being able to set realistic goals for the medium and long term; both for growing the business, and for generating enough profit to buy the warehouse they currently lease.
Whilst this is only the beginning of the coaching journey, the impact on Adam’s business has been “fantastic.”
They’ve seen a monthly net profit increase of £12,000. And perhaps more importantly, Adam’s stress levels have reduced and he’s developed a lot of positivity and motivation for the future. “It’s just a massive weight off my shoulders and it’s made me much more eager to move forward and keep going.”
Adam knows that without ActionCOACH, his business just wouldn’t be in its current strong position, and believes that they would still be making a loss.
“They genuinely help you to achieve your goals. The coaches are great and the help you receive is unbelievable.”
With the significant benefits Adam’s already seen, unsurprisingly he’s keen to continue the success of the coaching relationship, “I can see the potential now, and the future, working alongside ActionCOACH.”
It was inexperience and a lack of knowledge about running a business that led Liam Hoyland of Matrix Consulting Engineers and his fellow business partners to seek help from ActionCOACH Wakefield.
When David Connell first met ActionCOACH his business was in an untenable position. All David wanted to do was sell it and move on....
