How to find advice that works for your business

Written by Paul Redmond | March 1, 2021

There’s no magic wand, one-size-fits-all advice that works for every business. The support I give changes according to whom I’m talking to because everyone has a different kind of business and at different stages. Advice that works for your business may not work for the next person.

All business owners have different goals, too. So, they need all sorts of information to help them achieve those goals. While you can read about the latest fashion in marketing or how someone else built their business, but it won’t necessarily work for yours.  You need business advice that works specifically for what you do, where you do it, and how you want to run your business.

Which one of these represents you the best?

You have a business that’s doing okay, and you’re ready to take it to the next stage.

Your goal may be to increase profits, develop a product, hire staff or move to a new area. Or you might want to be working less yourself. You recognise that handing over more work to your team will free you up and make the business more efficient.

Your business isn’t doing what you want it to.

You always seem to be on the brink of success but never quite making it. You know that with the right kind of advice you can get your business into gear. But you need help making that happen.

Many of the people I coach are in one of these two situations. They need the right business advice to get them to the next stage of growing a successful company.

At this point, you’re probably thinking, “maybe Paul Redmond could help me with my business?”

But you’re not quite sure if this is the right way forward for you. I suggest you book a FREE one-off session with me to find out where you are with your business right now and see if I can help you get it to where you want it to be.

Here’s how to book a FREE one-off session with me.

Business advice on a particular issue or challenge

When you’re running a business, sometimes you need precise help on a key decision you need to make. You need to sit down for a couple of hours with someone who can be completely objective and work out what you want to do about a particular situation to get business advice that works.

People come to me with all kinds of problems they’re grappling with. Like the woman whose relationship with her business partner had turned toxic. She had to decide if she wanted to leave the business that she had built over ten years. 

I regularly review business plans and do strategy sessions with people who don’t need regular coaching. They do need to get some business advice from someone outside the company. And a lot of my one-to-one coaching clients come back every six months to do a review session and keep them on track.

Business advice for selling your company

When you already have a successful business, you might want some extra business advice to help you plan to sell your company. When you’re putting together your exit plan, you might want some one-to-one advice to make sure that you get the best possible price when you do sell. Investing in some business advice a couple of years beforehand can make the sales process go a lot smoother and make a big difference in how much you can sell the company for.

Which of these situations apply to you?
