Your Challenges
Many of us have goals and objectives we want to achieve in our business and yet we can feel stuck - stuck in our current situation, stuck in our decision making and feeling unsure of what steps to take to move forward. Even if we have an idea of what actions we would like to implement, we may find ourselves resisting making definitive moves due to being unsure about what the outcome of our efforts will be.
This can quickly become a circle of paralysis that keeps us in the same position, even when we know we want to move forward. The need to create change in our personal and professional lives, finances, lifestyle and responsibilities as we start or grow a business, or dream of ditching our 9-5 for our business passion, can weigh heavily on our minds. Knowing that we want change and progression, we can feel apprehensive about taking the journey towards the business life we want, My role is to provide structure and support to you whilst we work together to push you forward to "Grab Your Goals"!
Have you faced any of these challenges in your business journey? Can you recognise your business situation in any of the following statements? If yes, you're in the right place to receive the support you need to move you from the "Obstacle of the Challenge" to the "Land of the Solution".
13 Rhythms, I need help!
“I want to work for myself but don’t know what business to start."
"I have an idea but don't know how to check if it's viable."
“I have an idea to change the world for the better. Can I make money whilst I do community-based work?"
“I have a side-hustle, but feel frustrated that I can't put 100% into it, but I don't know how to switch from my 9-5."
"I want to give up. I love what I do but I have no energy to keep looking for customers. I'm tired."
"I need to create written/digital documents for clients, marketing, projects, social media, fundraising proposals but I'm not great at that stuff."
"I’m not sure what tasks I should be doing on a day-to- day basis in my business."
"I've no idea if I'm making a profit at all. I need help to get on top of my numbers."
"I don't know how to price my services/products."
"My business needs an overhaul, but I don't know where to start."
"No one knows my business exists!"
"I don't have the confidence to start, or run a business."
"I’m enjoying great sales. I think I’m ready to expand. But I don’t know how to do it.”
If you are experiencing any of these challenges in your business or in the process of starting or growing your enterprise, contact me for a complimentary, no-obligation call where we can discuss what you would like to achieve and identify ways to ensure you reach your goals.
Or perhaps you are clear on your business, and the direction you want to take, but you would like to receive some assistance to structure and organise your ideas, working with a coach for accountability as well as receiving practical support with the creation and implementation of processes, materials and resources that you can directly utilise in your business.
Business Support Services
Imagine a new recruit to your team, brought on board to complete a specific set of tasks, design and implement a project or create and implement a strategy. Sound good? Even better this "recruit" doesn't come with expensive overheads, and are simply paid a flat rate for the work they complete for you. Sounds even better right?
We can work together on a specific project, task or process, including creating marketing plans, financial management processes, social media strategies, pricing policies, sales or launch events, customer or staff handbooks, sales and marketing strategies and everything in-between. At the end of our time working together you will have a tangible demonstration of your time and investment - an event, a set of documents, a new process, copy for your website, a revised pricing policy, a social media strategy - the options are only limited by our imagination!
My business support services will give you the opportunity to have 13 Rhythms complete specific tasks required for your business, freeing your time to focus on the activities that require your skill and expertise. You're also free to send me the tasks that you don't want to do - but which are necessary to the smooth running of your business. We don't go into self-employment to be continually bogged down by the tasks we dislike, do we! I'll work with you, in the interests of your business, bringing creative energy, innovative ideas and the stamina to implement what is needed in your business. 13 Rhythms business support services give you all the benefits of a business partner or additional member of your team, without having the legal or financial responsibility of an employee.
Your Personal Adviser
You might be a well established business, or someone who is just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey. You are confident in what you are trying to achieve, but you require advice, guidance, strategy sessions, creative input, business planning help or someone to perception check your ideas and help with problem solving in your business. Retain 13 Rhythms' and receive access to my services that will support you and your business on a project or task basis, whilst you deliver a specific project, or over a period of time, determined by you.
I can assist on a wide range of operational and strategic tasks, bringing my vast knowledge and experience to the completion of all business tasks undertaken, with your goals, objectives, ethos and business reputation at the forefront. Let's speak about your specific needs.
All Entrepreneurs Supported
I work with entrepreneurs at all stages of business - whether you are at the very beginning and exploring working for yourself, or you've been in business for some years and are ready for growth and expansion.
I am highly experienced and skilled in working with creative and service based businesses, and those who are seeking to transition from their 9-5 jobs into full-time self-employment, giving the required level of sensitivity, knowledge, experience and candour that is required with these two specific groups of entrepreneurs.
When consulting on a one-to-one basis with entrepreneurs, I'll work with you to design and implement a realistic, step-by-step process for you to achieve the goals and outcomes you have for your business and your lifestyle.
My experience and expertise in working with entrepreneurs and business owners means that I can support you, whilst we work through the vast array of thoughts that are in your head about your business. We'll work together to transform them into an organised set of objectives, goals and tasks that you'll work through - with my support - to create the business you aspire to. Our working relationship could consist of one strategy or planning session, all the way through to a coaching programme over several months. The options are flexible and always delivered according to the needs of you, the business owner.
Why Choose 13 Rhythms?
My own experiences of self-employment and business start-up enable me to empathise with the mental, financial and emotional challenges that can be present in starting and running a business, as well as the nuts and bolts involved in the practicalities of day-to-day business life. Not only that, but I have a massive passion and excitement about business and supporting entrepreneurs whilst they achieve their goals. My practical knowledge, experience and enthusiasm is matched with formal qualifications in business support, all of which work together to create coaching programmes that work for my clients.
My coaching and support services are totally client focused, and designed to respond to your specific business development needs. However, I know that business isn't "just" about money, marketing, products and services. We can have mental, emotional and confidence based blockages that are stopping us too. The 13 Way method addresses all of these challenges, creating a holistic support package that assists you in taking action and moving out of that "stuck" place into the business and life you want.
So let's get started
We begin with a complimentary, no-obligation Explore Call via telephone or video call. They can be scheduled straight into my diary, which saves that annoying email back and forth trying to find a mutually beneficial time to speak. Our 30 minute "exploration" (conversation!) will enable you to tell me more about your specific business challenges, goals and objectives, and allow me to make suggestions on how we can work together to ensure that you reach your goals.
To make the best use of our time on the call, I'll ask you to complete my "What's On Your Mind?" questionnaire before we speak. This is designed to give me an overview of the areas you would like to address, so that our time on the call can be full of exploring possible solutions to your challenges.
Following our call, I'll create and forward an overview of our discussion with a recommended session or project outline, that with your effort and my support, will take you closer to your chosen business goals. You may be perfectly clear on what you would like to design, create, implement, test, price, market, invent, sell, support or deliver, or you may have the raw ingredients of an idea with no clue how to move forward with your ideas. Whatever the case, let's speak so we can get you motoring towards building the business you want, and deserve!
Thank you for your interest in 13 Rhythms. I look forward to working with you!
