The issues you deal with every day are similar to those experienced by other business owners, professionals, and solo entrepreneurs.

I'm Steve Straus and, since 1987, in my private coaching practice I've helped over 500 business owners get what they want. By taking some creative actions they now work fewer hours and make more money, while enjoying each day a lot more. Many have become financially independent, living the life of their dreams.

From that private practice coaching experience, I've developed a group coaching program especially for people like you. It's called:

Small Business :: Big Success™
Transform your business. Transform your life.

It's a low cost, effective way for you to get on top of your business and enjoy the benefits you expected when you started it.

That means it's not some canned, do-it-my-way "answer" to all your problems. Those never work.

Instead, over an 12-month period, you learn, apply, and master Twelve Keys to having an effective, profitable small business or professional practice. I've developed these twelve keys by coaching my clients and watching the results with them. Surprisingly much of the information is not new; some of it you may already be familiar with. But it is my experience that most business owners are missing some important pieces and/or don't apply all the ones they do know.

You must insert yourself into a success structure. It's what successful business owners and professionals do. The ones who remain isolated are in a continual struggle. Sure, you may make it alone, but why would you if there is a better way?

Do any of these business situations sound familiar? -

SALES ARE FLAT:
even though you've tried several new approaches.

OVERCOMMITTED:
you've got way too many plates spinning.

YOU'RE MISSING OPPORTUNITIES:
it's something you sense, but you can't put your finger on it.

CREATIVE ISOLATION:
you're really creative, but there's no one to brainstorm with.

LITTLE INNOVATION:
it's no fun to just react to customers instead of wowing them with innovation.

A LACK OF VISION:
it's hard to have a compelling vision of the future when you have too little time, money, and opportunity.

MORE WORK/LESS PLAY:
every year seems uncertain and you're not really getting ahead.

As the owner you rarely have all the resources you would like to have in order to deal with issues such as these.

It will help you to achieve clarity, focus, and structure. Clarity about where you are and where you want to be. The way to Focus your finite resources for most effective impact. And the Structure to leverage your best efforts. For over 20 years I've helped owners do just that, and create better lives (and better lifestyles) in the process.

How does it work?

Here's how the Small Business :: Big Success™ program works.

• Once a month you come together with a group of your peers -- other business owners, professionals, and solo entrepreneurs -- and you spend a morning with me. You learn, discuss, apply, and are coached on one of the Twelve Keys. You leave the workshop with new knowledge, new processes, some personal "ah-ha's" and a few action items you choose to focus on over the next month.

• Following the monthly workshop you receive a short weekly email highlighting and reinforcing some aspect of what you covered in the workshop.

• You can also be part of a group telephone call about two weeks after the workshop to get your questions answered, course-correct, reinforce your learning, and acknowledge your successes.

• You may also call during published times to receive private laser coaching on the specifics of your business issues. There is no limit to the number of laser coaching calls you may have.

• You have private access to a growing body of support material available at the website, including sample forms, self-discovery programs, and check lists of common business issues. You may also revisit key portions of the Workshop presentations by listening to audio recordings stored at the website.

The design of the Small Business :: Big Success™ program means that you invest only one scheduled, in-person morning out of your month and the rest of the coaching and support happens at your direction, on your timeframe, and at hours which work best for you. It's a powerful, flexible model of just-in-time, just-what-you-need business coaching.

What else?

In each monthly workshop we cover -- in depth -- one of the Twelve Keys.
Therefore, in one year (12 morning workshops) you will have

 

1) learned about,
2) been coached on,
3) applied in your business, and
4) begun to master, all twelve Keys.

The longer you stay in the program, the more you will see how each of the Keys connects with each of the others. A powerful picture of you and your business emerges.

Currently, all of the in-person workshops are in the Dallas, Texas, area.

And finally...

One of the subtle but significant benefits of this program is connecting with a strong group of your business peers -- non-competing, like-minded, committed-to-success individuals who are looking for the same outcomes you are. When you hear someone in a non-related business, or even a different industry, discuss the same issue you are dealing with it, it opens your perspective dramatically.

Furthermore, you can (and I will show you how and encourage you to) use the other members of your group to help hold you accountable for your actions. There is nothing like having a supportive, interested-in-your-success group who, in turn, expect you to help them be accountable for their actions. A bonding can occur which can last long after you have completed the Small Business :: Big Success™ program!

The cost of the program will be $450 per month when we reach full group size, but if you join now the investment in your success is only $295 per month and will remain so for as long as you are continuously in the program regardless of what the price rises to. You lock in the lower price by joining now.

That's it. No upfront fees or major outlays of money. You start at any month and pay monthly (I'll put it on an automatic payment system) until you have gotten all the value from the program you want. You can leave at any time. Many Members have continued after their first 12 months and repeated the whole process, approaching each topic from a much higher perspective than the first time through. That's what being part of a success structure can do for you.

Here's the call to action!

If you have the feeling that this program can help you take your small business and create a big success, if you are ready to turn your potential into profits, call me at 903-786-4786 or email me to enroll. We will then have a conversation to see if you meet the qualifications. (Which all other members of your group have met.) If you do, you're in.

Life doesn't have to be hard. Your business can be fun again. You can have what you want. But you must use all the resources available to you.

What is the cost to you if you do nothing?
