ActionCOACH has been an inspiration

A passion to control his own future led Alex Teh to go into business for himself four years ago. Alex is the proud owner of Blinds Couture, a specialty blinds retailer in Perth. Alex heard of ActionCOACH through a friend and after initially embarking on a group coaching program, decided that he needed his very own coach to get him on the right track.

I realised my business was uninspiring and lacking the profits I had hoped to achieve. ActionCOACH, Trent Taylor, has been an inspiration and my support for the last 12 months. My business has had an amazing 900% growth in net profits since ActionCOACH came on board! And rather than keeping everything about the business in my head, I now have written systems to streamline business procedures. Coaching has improved all facets of my business as well as my life. I have more time to spend with my family. Plus I have an improved mindset and the emotional strength to take my business to a higher level.

My business has changed like you wouldn’t believe since working with ActionCOACH

Limac Services, is now one of Melbourne’s leading fire safety specialists, providing state of the art fire safety solutions. Over time, I was becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the demands of being the owner/operator of a business. I was running blind, managing the business by the seat of my pants. I was being totally reactive, and everyone would call me if they needed something done. I was working 70-80+ hours a week with absolutely no time for myself. I heard of the results business coaching could bring and when I contacted ActionCOACH, I decided to give it a go.

My business has changed like you wouldn’t believe since working with ActionCOACH! Sales have increased by 56% and profits have boomed with an increase of 550% over the last two years! I no longer have to work on the tools and get my hands dirty, which I’m really excited about! The best part is I can appreciate in the little luxuries in life. Now I have a personal life I can enjoy and time to spend with my kids.

Aspire Highly Recommends Getting an ActionCOACH

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:20:36 +0000

Before having an ActionCOACH it was just Michelle and myself working in the company, now we have a team of 20. Our business was chaotic. There was no budgeting, no phone scripts, no testing and measuring of marketing campaigns, no systems. We were all over the place. Our turnover has increased by an amazing 455% in the three years we have been working with ActionCOACH! We have a system that works. We know how to achieve our goals and can now leave our business and go on lengthy holidays. We highly recommend getting an ActionCOACH. It’s worth every cent!

ActionCOACH Took My Business to the Next Level

Although Scaf-West was a reasonably profitable enterprise, we were unstreamlined and disorganized; there was no time management or team structure, and basically I was afraid to grow the business. Since I have been working with ActionCOACH, profits have doubled and sales have increased by 42%!We spent time building the foundations, implementing changes in everything from computer systems to training manuals, and the results have really shone through in the last 7 months. I have more time for myself, even taking one day a week to complete a course outside the business.

There’s Definitely Light at the End of the Tunnel

With over 20 years experience, I knows a thing or two about the power equipment industry. I bought well established power equipment sales and service business, Altona Mowerpower seven years ago, but despite my wealth of experience, was getting increasingly frustrated by challenges in the business. I was working up to 70 hours a week and didn’t have an effective team to help me. That was until I met ActionCOACH, Nick Ikonomou.Sales turnover increased by 25% after just 6 months with my ActionCOACH. Even when factoring in seasonal downturns and the ever changing economy, sales growth has been consistent over the past 12 months. My business is now a lot more professional and I’m much more in control working with my team as well as my customers.I’m more focused and know exactly where I’m going. There’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

ActionCOACH Has Taken My Business to New Levels

At just 22, I started my own electrical contracting business. Although an experienced technician, I admits I didn’t know the first thing about running a business.Four years down the track and business is booming for Platinum Electrical, thanks to ActionCOACH.

I had been in business for just 18 months and found myself working 100 hour weeks! My phone was ringing non-stop and everything about the business, all the decisions, came to me. Since ActionCOACH came on board, sales turnover has increased by an amazing 148%! I now work a regular 40 hour week and have complete confidence. I could take next week off at the drop of a hat and the business would run without me. ActionCOACH has taken my business to new levels, even allowing me to start a new business.

ActionCOACH Has Helped Us Take Our Business To The Nnext Level

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:30:47 +0000

In February 2004, Tony Hebrard and myself opened The Zenergy Group’s first appointment only studio, offering an A Class facility and service. Being first time business owners we were looking for experienced advice to help us reach our goals. We see coaching as an investment to help us get to where we want to go quicker. After only 2 months, ActionCOACH has helped us take our business to the next level. We learned how to effectively lead, manage and motivate our team of 8 personal trainers, a masseuse and a receptionist. As a result we can now concentrate on growing the business, with confidence that our team will be behind us all the way. We are less stressed about the future and are confident our business is on the right path. Now we’re taking our first big holiday in years and know we can trust in our team to run the business while we’re away.

Thank You Do Much…

Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement… the smartest thing I ever did was attend a Brad Sugars seminar and made the decision to enlist ActionCOACH as my business coach. You’re great and I really appreciate the effort you go to get me back on track.

Its Been the Best Money I Have Ever Spent…Multifit Hospital Supplies

It’s been great having a business coach for the last five months. I have been on lots of business skills courses prior to the ActionCOACH’s ‘Mentoring Program’, and the major difference in working with Hamish Carnie (my ACTION coach), has been the tailoring of these skills to my business situation and then the action (implementation) of the skills into my business.

I think of my business coach as a member of my team, along with my accountant, banker, lawyer, contractors etc. What I get from Hamish is a mixture of good tried and true advise and lots of new and fresh ideas that work great and that I have not seen anyone else use before”

“As you sow, so shall you reap” – cheap advice is exactly that. When I first looked at the Mentoring Program it looked expensive, but from the inside looking out, its been the best money I have ever spent. Sales are up by over $3000 per month since I started and the things that I have learned and expect to learn, will ensure that I will enjoy strong sustainable growth in the future.
