What Exactly is Entrepreneur Coaching?

Do I Really need it?

Coaching Basics

Diving into the world of entrepreneurship can be quite the rollercoaster ride. I started my first business (a law firm) when I was just 24 years old. Today (almost 20 years later), I am the Managing Director of that law firm. However, I also wear other hats such as an innovator at Contracts4Biz  and a trainer at PocketAdvisor.

Entrepreneurship is not all glitz and glamour. There are days when you feel like you are on the edge of burnout, dealing with endless pressures. A successful business is all about building and nurturing meaningful relationships. I have a unique understanding on how to leverage legal structures not as punitive measures but as catalysts to bolster growth, trust, and sustainable partnerships.

Do You Need Business Coaching

So, based on my own journey and the lessons I’ve picked up along the way, I’ve put together some coaching sessions for ambitious entrepreneurs eager to make their mark.

These are packed with my own insights, actionable strategies, and proven tools to help skyrocket your business.

1. Strategic Goal Setting: Let’s set some goals that aren’t just pie-in-the-sky dreams. We’ll make them ambitious yet measurable, so you know exactly what you’re aiming for.

 2. Purpose-Driven Approach: I’ll help you align your business goals with a clear purpose. Trust me, when every decision you make aligns with your values and vision, magic happens.

 3. Efficient Execution: I’ve got some tried-and-true methods up my sleeve to help you streamline your operations, make the most of your resources, and boost profitability—all without sacrificing quality.

The Art of Bonsai and the Growth of Business: Parallels in Patience, Precision, and Persistence

Bonsai is more than just a small tree in a pot; it is a centuries-old Japanese art form that represents balance, harmony, and control over nature through careful nurturing. At its heart, bonsai is about shaping, sculpting, and guiding a living organism to reach its fullest potential, but this can only be done with immense patience, foresight, and careful attention to detail.
In many ways, growing and managing a business mirrors the process of cultivating a bonsai tree. Both require strategic thinking, adaptability, and a long-term vision. In this blog, we’ll explore the fascinating parallels between the art of bonsai and the world of business and how lessons from one can enrich the other.

Building a Business is Like Growing a Veggie Garden

For entrepreneurs, starting and growing a business can be compared to tending a veggie garden. Both processes involve patience, strategy, and consistent nurturing to yield long-term success.

The Rain Keeps Pouring – Keep Listening

have been in business for almost two decades, and for a moment there, I really thought I had seen it all! I was at the top of my mountain and very cosy up there. However, I have been humbled these last few months. I have been through trying times before, but this was like an earthquake. Not that I have ever been in one, but I would imagine it feels something like this. Around every corner, there have been problems to solve. Significant changes were calling for agility. Sometimes, on our business journey – we need to undo and redo our businesses and ourselves. It is a lot of work and effort, but sitting back and looking at the finished picture, well, that is exhilarating. So, if this sounds familiar, hang in there; it will be worth it!

Business Silver Linings – Post-Election and Down in the Dumps Economy? Possible?

In times of economic hardship, businesses face challenges that test their resilience and adaptability. We have just returned from the election polls in South Africa. The uncertainty of the unprecedented outcome has been felt throughout society and in our pockets. While this can be daunting, it also presents invaluable lessons that can strengthen a business’s foundation and prepare it for future uncertainties. It could serve as a valuable opportunity to adjust or even to measure impact and relevance.

Pushing Boundaries or Breaking Bonds?

In South Africa, many businesses are family-owned and operated, with ownership often passing from one generation to the next along the male line. Traditionally, this means that many women support their fathers, brothers, and spouses in the business. Although this sounds familiar or even “as things should be” situation, managing a family business involves navigating complex personal and professional relationships. Be that as it may, family businesses are more than that – they are central to the reality of many families. It is not just another business; it goes to the very core of financial prosperity and home dynamics.

It is indeed a complex situation, but let’s add another layer of complexity, one that we rarely hear ventilated until we are in a courtroom. What happens when a woman is the leader instead of a man? Perhaps, let me put it bluntly, it is when a woman employs her husband, partner, father, or brother.

The issues this brings is a shared responsibility to address, it refers to how we raise our children and support our friends and families that find themselves in the grips of this reality. If we get this right, this will not only benefit the women at the helm but also strengthen the family business sector and the family unit as a whole.

When the Earth moves around You, but nothing seems to be Working Out!

We all face difficult times in business, which can be likened to surviving a tsunami. These trying times may result from external factors such as economic circumstances or internal changes where employees are not performing as they once did. During such periods, the legal and structural framework of a business is put to the test. Leaders, especially those in small organisations, feel the challenges more acutely and are tested in their capacity to handle them. Here are a few lessons i have learnt.

Feeling like a Lone Ranger? Navigating the Loneliness of Entrepreneurship

Once you decide and embark on the entrepreneurial journey, you may face unique challenges that your friends and family may not fully understand. We have to stay strong because people are watching. Especially during difficult times, when everyone else is relaxing or staying at home, we may find ourselves working long hours, sacrificing personal time, and missing out on social events. If you can relate to what I’m saying, then you know how difficult and unpleasant it can be. It’s either rock bottom or a critical shift, but either way, it’s not easy.

Why Your Best Friend Really is You!

What we think eventually becomes true, as our thoughts influence our actions and decisions, which in turn inform our life outcomes. Several books delve into this concept and help us reel in our thoughts, beliefs, and habits to our advantage. For me, a key turning point was getting to know myself and loving myself, seeing weaknesses as areas for growth rather than proverbial sticks.

In the pursuit of professional excellence, self-discovery is a non-negotiable imperative. By delving into your strengths, values, motivations, and aspirations, you unlock a myriad of benefits—from aligning with fulfilling career paths and enhancing emotional intelligence to optimizing performance, fostering resilience, and cultivating authentic leadership.

The Fever of Winning

As most of the world knows, we won the Rugby World Cup again this year. This would make it a fourth victory – quite spectacular, actually. I was lucky enough to witness it all. Of course, in South Africa, winning a Rugby World Cup means more than just being really good at the sport. This got me thinking: what does it take to be a world champion at something, and should logic prevail when things are not working out as we hope? Or seemingly so? What is the difference?

Entrepreneurship is Freedom. Entrepreneurship is Slavery. What??

The other day, a young entrepreneur told me he wants to start his business because he wants more freedom. I could not help but pity him but said nothing as I did not want to dim the sparkle in his eyes. We have seen others who have tanked ideas, and you read of many who did not and continued until that breakthrough came. There is a delicate balance, which you only come to understand once you have felt it to your bones.
