Executive and Leadership Coaching solutions for a solo-entrepreneur.

Client: A recently downsized business professional became a solo-entrepreneur with three very different business endeavors (Photography, Greeting Cards and Baked Goods).

Situation:  Client wanted to launch her baked goods business and needed assistance remaining focused in order to get the business off the ground.

Challenge:  Client found it difficult separating the responsibilities of each business.  She also found it tough to manage the unpredictable responsibilities of the Photography business which interfered with the completion of tasks related to the success of the Baked Goods business.

TLL HRC’s Solution:  Planning, goal setting and accountability. Acted as a sounding board to keep the client focused and able to identify the required tasks to complete each goal.

Regular 1-to-1 weekly coaching sessions were conducted over a period of 12 months where the client shared progress, challenges and experiences.

Worked with client to create a business plan, marketing plan and stakeholder map.  These documents help the client to better organize the action steps she needed to complete for the success of all of her businesses.

Result: Client’s three business endeavors were all launched as scheduled and earned 30% more than projected. 

In difficult market conditions the client demonstrated a 400% improvement in productivity and time management.  This significant increase in productivity and time management led to an average increase in sales of 25 - 30% for the baked goods and photography business. There were also significant decreases in stress with a marked improvement in life satisfaction.
