The very best sports men and women in this world all receive regular coaching in order to be the best in their chosen field, and when I used to compete in White Water Slalom, I appreciated every session with my coach – no matter how uncomfortable it may feel at the time. Since starting my own company, I have often thought I should follow the same philosophy and have occasionally looked at business coaches. Many of the coaches I have come across appear to be failed business owners, which did not inspire me.

I took the opportunity to visit Andrew at an Action Coach presentation and was inspired by the success he has achieved throughout his career and his desire to help business owners in the South West. Andrew’s passion to help business owners combined with the Action Coach methodology is a winning combination. I had previously given myself targets to hit for the first quarter and the end of the year and Andrew’s group coaching has encouraged me to stretch my targets and to achieve these with a detailed plan. In addition, the regular sessions have encouraged and supported me to become more efficient within the business and to spend more time on it than in it.

I have used the “ActionCLUB” service, meeting twice-monthly with others – and this is a real strength of the programme for me. By having other business owners, I get ideas I can “steal”, alternative perspectives on my actions and thoughts, and as a group we hold each other accountable to put what we are learning into action, making a real and measurable difference to my business.

I would highly recommend Andrew and Action Coach to owners who are looking to grow their business while keeping a balance with family and personal objectives.
