Introducing Mike Kemball

There's a well-known story about two shoe salesmen who travelled out to Africa many years ago to discover the opportunities for their products. The first guy called back, "No opportunity here, no one wears shoes." The second took a different view, "This is great, it's a huge market; everybody needs shoes!"

So which guy would you employ? What would your company do? With that story in mind, it's easy to draw comparisons with the recession. Does your company see this as a time of difficulty ... or opportunity? Are you accepting the state of the market or embracing it? An excuse or an opportunity?

The recession brings choice. You have two, possibly three options. The first, do nothing. The second is common, batten down the hatches and sit it out - the likely choice of the 'bean counter'. The third approach is less common, 'get a surfboard and catch your biggest wave to date'. Just think about it. If everyone else is sitting out, what an opportunity for you! So does it work? The fact is that a recent Harvard report shows that companies that plan for and take a proactive approach will emerge stronger.

So you're taken by the idea of riding the waves. Now how do you go about it? Many business owners want to take the opportunity, and discover that there's more to surfing than meets the eye. Yet the teenager makes it look so easy - he's as cool as a cucumber and handles his board like he was born that way. The solution is to find someone to show you the way. It's the same in business.

The rise of business coaching is an excellent example of how both new and established businesses can grow dramatically and have proven results. Business coaching goes beyond a college course - it's tailored to you and your business. It's not just theory, it's getting you to develop and hone your skills for your business. Our surfer learns his moves by doing them for himself, by having someone watching him, commenting, encouraging, teaching, someone COACHING him. He gets his results much quicker this way, and he begins to handle his board like it was part of him. He even starts to look cool too! Result.

Whereas our 'bean counter' decides to do it his way, and go it alone. Result? Well he's splashing about in the shallows for a long time, not having much fun. He's not out there riding the waves with the cool dudes, benefitting from the huge sea that's calling to come out and play.

The good news for business owners is that there are now some great business coaches delivering excellent results. Based in London, Mike Kemball, will only take on clients who want to get out of the shallows and improve their game, even beyond their dreams, "I believe that every company has people who see opportunity, growth and vision. I simply help them get to where they want to be."

Wherever you are in the recession, it makes you think, doesn't it? But that nagging question still remains ... what are you actually going to do about it?

Are you working longer hours than you want to or ever thought you would be?

Do you want to regain the vision and dream that led you to forming your own business in the first place?

What would you do to regain control of your life and spend more time with family and friends?

I am a certified Business Coach with ActionCOACH, the World’s #1 Business Coaching Franchise (Entrepreneur Magazine, Jan. 2004 & 2005).

As your coach, I will be working with you in five key areas. The emphasis on each area depends on your needs, the type of business you have, and your goals. The key areas are: Sales; Marketing and Advertising; Team Building and Recruitment; Systems and Business Development; and, Customer Service.

My goal is to help small business owners, such as yourself, spend less time working in your business and more time working on your business. In the end, you'll be spending less total time working and will be making more money. I’d also like to help you put the FUN back in your business and your life.

As a small business owner myself, I know what it is like to worry about the day-to-day survival of the business and making the amount of money needed to run my business and personal life. I understand what it’s like to put in long hours and wonder what happened to the dreams and vision I had for my life and future.

I am here to help you change all of that. We will work together to redefine your dreams and vision, and then we will put into place the necessary systems, strategies, and tactics that will allow you to turn your business venture into a thriving, successful one.

We define a successful business as: a commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you. As your Business Coach, I will function as an unreasonable friend who tells it like it is and keeps you working on the path toward your dreams.

There is no time like the present, right now, to get started on your dreams and goals. If you are ready to move your business to the next level, contact me today for a FREE, NO OBLIGATION consultation. Find out how you can change the way you do business to achieve the results you deserve!
