Now working less hours....

I decided to give this book a crack because I really felt like I was in a rut when it came to managing my business. This book really helped me to see the forest through the trees. I quickly realized that I didn't know anything about the profitability of the products I was selling - I was so caught up running my business, but my business was running me... I have since cut one of my product lines, and replaced it with a new more profitable product line, and have also hired my first staff. I am now trying to test and measure everything, and it's making a big difference. This book has helped me to take my business to the next step.

coaching guidance via storytelling

The Business Coach is written more like a story than a motivational business book. In doing so, it gets the main points across more clearly. It tells the story of Joe and Nellie, as they transform their business and fulfill their dreams. Being written as a story more than just as a set of steps to follows helps the reader to envision his or her own business in place of Joe and Nellie's. The reader is able to imagine from start to finish what improvements might be made in his or her own business. Sugars' six steps of mastery, niche, leverage, team, synergy and results creates a very steady ladder for business owners to climb. As I was reading, I would often stop to jot down notes about how I could implement these steps in my own business. I've been working extremely hard to keep my small business going. While it's going well, I knew I could be doing more, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. The Business Coach gave me simple, clear rules to follow. Seeing how Joe and Nellie went about improving their own business gave me a model to follow. I have begun to implement changes in my business using steps I learned in The Business Coach. I know I am at the early stages and have many long months ahead of me, but I now have absolute faith in myself to become a better business owner while buliding a more successful business. I'm looking forward to having an equally successful business and personal life, as Joe and Nellie demonstrated. The Business Coach is crucial reading material for any and every small business owner. Even if you're doing fantastically well, these steps will lead to even more growth and achievement. Owning your own business is an amazing feat in itself, but maximizing its potential can be near impossible. Start reading The Business Coach now and achieve your true potential as a small business owner!
