| Coaching, Consulting & Business Advice
We help you "put your business to work." As
a small business owner, your business should be an asset - not burden. You
shouldn't serve the business - it should serve you.
We work with people who are good at what
they do, but critical skills outside of their expertise are keeping their
firm from achieving its full potential.
Our work with small business owners is a
mix of coaching and consulting delivered on a regular basis over the
course of 3 to 12 months. Below are several packages that we can
custom-tailor to fit your specific situation
Hourly - As-Needed

advice and feedback.
- In-person coaching/consulting
sessions, on an as-needed basis. (Or via telephone if you're not near
the St. Louis area.)

a resource as much or as little as you prefer.
- One time or ongoing - you can fire me
with a phone call or an email!
- Summary email from me with my comments
and recommendations on request
- FREE 30 Minute Introductory Session

Building a Foundation for Your
Company's Long-Term Success
Whether you're a start-up or have been in
business for years, if you haven't done the hard work of developing a
mission statement, a set of guiding principles and a long-range vision for
your company ... you may be headed in the wrong direction. In fact, here's
a good saying for you: "If you don't know where you're going, any road
will take you there."
We'll work with you - the owner - to
develop a rock-solid foundation that ensures your business is serving your
long-range personal needs, while also paving the way for long-term
business success.
This is a 6 month program. During the
first 3 months, we'll have a series of 9 one-hour sessions to design
company mission, core values and vision that are in complete alignment with the
owner's personal vision and values. We will supply tools and guidance to help you
apply your core values in the workplace in concrete, practical ways. During the remaining 3 months, we'll
have monthly accountability meetings to confirm that the work we've done
is being implemented.
Annual Strategic Planning
We'll work with you and your leadership
team to develop an annual strategic plan that moves you consistently
toward your long-range goals.
This is a 6 month program. During the
first 3 months - before the start of the new fiscal or calendar year -
we'll have a series of one-hour and two-hour sessions to establish targets
and goals for the new year. The next 3 months - during the new year -
we'll have monthly accountability meetings to confirm that the work we've
done is being implemented.
Marketing Make-Over
Most small to mid-sized companies have a
sketchy idea, at best, as to how to accomplish marketing, and generally
find it a challenge. As a result, they jump back and forth between
randomly-chosen marketing efforts and are predictably disappointed with
the results.
We'll work with you to build a solid,
common-sense system for generating leads and converting prospects into
customers.
This is a 6 month program. During the
first 3 months,
we'll have a series of one-hour and two-hour sessions to design, build and
implement your new marketing system. The next 3 months
we'll have monthly accountability meetings to confirm that the work we've
done is being implemented.

email me or call me: 314-221-8558
If this will be our first meeting, I'll
have you fill out an electronic survey in advance, so I have all your info
and a description of your situation. This way, our time together is spent
working on your issues rather than educating me about your situation.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed
with all our coaching and support programs.
If you are ever disappointed with our work, simply pay whatever amount
you feel is fair.
