Dear Yamini,
Thanks for your support, persistence, & sincere efforts to help me build a successful business. Your knowledge, creative mindset, & passion to help people like myself build a thriving business has been a blessing for me to experience. You shed a new light on running a business that has generated a new enthusiasm.
Before having you as my Action Coach, I always tried to bid jobs competitively & trusted my gut instinct on what to charge. I never knew what my overhead expenses were. Today I know what those costs are and they are part of my bid & estimating process. I still like being competitive but now I know if it is going to cost me or pay me.
I know my profit level has increased by using tactics that utilize what I have (using my data base) as opposed to advertising (yellow pages). I have paid a lot of debt off by not buying advertising while maintaining a flow of new and repeat business.
If anyone owning a business is wondering if your service as an Action Coach is worth it, call me. My business is Alliance Roofing and you can contact me at

Thanks again Yamini for a great job as my Action Coach. You helped me think outside of the box & do things out of my comfort zone and led to success for my business.
Sincerely,
John E. Lamb, Owner Alliance Roofing www.allianceroofing.us
"The 90 Day Planning growth club was one of the best goal setting events I have ever attended. This is a must attend for every business owner. It is a real eye opener. I started looking at things differently in my business. It gave me clarity on what I needed to do in the next 90 days. For me it is the catalyst for change. I completed my 90 Day Plan the same evening and implemented the first change this morning. Thanks Yamini for working with me on the plan. The day was very motivational and extremely well organized, which is a result of good planning. "

"I've been a business owner since I was 24. I love the independence of doing things my way. I have had several businesses from retailing to manufacturing to service businesses.
One of those businesses is an Automatic Transmission workshop that I own with my husband, Colin. Our business plodded along for 7 years, paying the bills and giving us a modest income. We worked really hard and rewarded ourselves with a 1 week holiday each year. We knew we could do better in our business but didn't know how, and we didn't want to work our whole lives just to end up on a pension. That was before we discovered Action, or more accurately they found us. My Action coach showed us what life could be like as business owners working on our business, and not just in it. Before coaching we had no idea that we knew so little about our business. We had no systems, no plan, no life! After coaching - we have a life!
We're having FUN with our business again. We have more money, we've just had 3 weeks of vacation. We now know how to plan for the business to run without us and provide us with a passive income within the next few years."

"When I engaged my ActionCOACH, my business was making a loss and I was feeling unenthusiastic and despondent about the future. Almost immediately, I felt encouraged and supported, knowing that she had my best interests at heart and that success was achievable. To my great surprise, even in this short period my sales have increased by 62% and my profit margins have increased by 250!!!%. Really, we have only just scratched the surface. Action COACH has an answer and system for anything and if you follow their procedures and complete the weekly goals you will find that things start to happen immediately, almost without you knowing it.
My coach’s calm and steady approach to coaching is just the sort of assistance I need. She has the ability to instantly smooth out the stresses that come with any business and will always find out the right answer to any question. She's a great sounding board for ideas and this has been one of the best things about having a business coach. As an employer, I am the boss and therefore not really answerable to anyone. Having a coach is a little like having a part time boss and it's apparent right from the beginning that if you say you want to do something, then you have to do it. She holds you accountable for your decisions and plans and is not really into poor excuses.
It's almost a cliché to say that I wish I'd had a business coach years ago, but it's true. Which, rather than making me frustrated about the past opportunities I've missed, makes me excited and confident about the future. I really do feel that all the things I'd like to achieve are within my grasp."
