Coaching for improved business growth | Phil Drinkwater

Grow your business

If your business has stagnated it can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you can see that others’ are still managing to grow.

A lack of business growth is a symptom, not a cause, and it’s essential to discover the real and honest reason for that before attempting a solution.

If you are willing to delve honestly into your business, we can discover this together, with no judgement.

5 potential reasons your business isn't growing

1. Your marketing and advertising are not built for scaling or failing to discover new customers

Sometimes businesses suffer from saturation in their current marketing and advertising activities, or the entire market is saturated. At other times, they are ineffective.

2. Your processes don't allow for growth

Businesses grow using processes. Without processes, businesses flounder under the weight of confusion, and they aren't able to hire more junior staff.

3. Your funds don't allow for hiring or additional advertising

Sometimes money is tight and what seems like the necessary investment for growth may be tricky to achieve.

4. Customers are unhappy and leaving, or your business model isn't focused on retention

Some businesses constantly churn customers, either due to their business model, or because customers are unhappy. This can lead to a focus on fire-fighting, rather than growth.

5. Something else... together let's discover the reason your business has stagnated

Of course, I can't list every reason that a business isn't growing here.

What's the reason these challenges occur?

Business owners launch their business in a direction that seems right to them

Well done on making a start! You should feel proud that you've moved forward and got to where you are today.

But their patterns and habits have become ingrained in the businesses functioning

Who you are impacts every single decision you make.

These "true causes" lead to the challenges you're facing

Over time, some of these personality traits will lead to issues that are stunting the growth of your business.

What they say..

“I’m doing really well. Probably the best I’ve been. I have to thank you for the tools you’ve given me to deal with issues.”

A made up example:

Let's presume that your business is struggling to gain new customers because your marketing is ineffective

This is a very common reason that business stagnate.

You may have tried to push your marketing team to produce more work

It must be your marketing team. They aren't working hard enough, or effectively enough.

You may have tried to personally intervene

Then, you might have tried to work with them to solve the issue.

But you haven't engaged with an expert because "it's a waste of money"

But you'd hired a team who were inexperienced for cost saving, because deep down you don't believe in marketing, and you wouldn't entertain an expert.

Completely blocking this path may be one reason you're not succeeding

While you have your views, this may be causing significant issues for you and costing more than you'd lose.

In business coaching, we'll look at all of the paths you're not willing to try, discover the real reasons

So, let's see what you are willing to do. What have you not tried yet? Could you hire just a few hours of someone's time, for example?

During this process, you'll discover new paths you are willing to try

As we work together, new paths forward will emerge, and you can start to grow your business again.

What they say..

“The difference from my first session to now is life changing for me. The growth is so wonderful”.

Who am I?​

I'm Phil Drinkwater, a leading transformational coach who supports business clients growing their businesses successfully

I'm a Certified Business Coach with a totally unique approach that will help you understand why your business really has stagnated.

I'll support you in your journey at every step of your growth.

I’ve run my own successful online small business with up to 20 employees for 22 years

I know what it’s like to go through all of the phases of business. I’ve seen so much and made my own mistakes, which have taught me more than any book ever could.

I'm also psychology trained

I'm aware that our needs, thoughts and emotions determine whether we succeed or fail, and how we can change these to produce a more success-oriented mindset.

How will we begin the coaching process?

What will happen in our Free Discovery Session?

In our first small business coaching session, I'll ask you about your small business and what challenges you're facing. Over that hour, I'll get a picture for what's going on, and let you know whether and how I can help.

If you're nervous, I'm incredibly kind

Some people are nervous, some aren't. Either way, I'll treat you with respect and, within that hour, you'll become comfortable. However, if you'd prefer a more gentle way to start coaching, we can do that.
