Growing your business 2014 and beyond

Generally landlords have a tough and challenging time of it, time spent,increasing competition and mounting personal pressures that can even strain the most loving of family relationships,if you feel a little overwhelmed your not alone most people feel the same.

That means you  never get to the point where you never extract the potential profit in your business. It basically begs the question do you want to have a better lifestyle, or are you just going to allow these issues to get in the way and carry on making excuses!!.

Slowly but surely the sector is changing for the better,[statutory code etc] and once the big operators realise they have to improve service and treat their customer's better [that's you] everyone in the long term will benefit.

In the meantime you can't wait for things to happen,and you can actually do something about it if you really want to,so take a gulp of humble pie and get positive!!.

The fact of the matter is your probably doing 80% of the stuff correctly, but what happens when you are immersed in the day to day running of the operation, you become blind to the opportunities available to you.

The first step is to know what true reality is. what really are the issues with the paying customers,staff,your market and how you operate.

Sometimes you have to invest to move forward, to allow you to get where you want to be financially even faster. Business coaching will do this and more!!.The problem is our defence mechanism is riddled with scepticism and resistance.

Coaching is for people who can't do it alone
Coaching will make me appear inadequate to my operations team
Coaching is for under performers
Coaching is time consuming
Coaching is expensive.

These are all myths, in today's market even  the big operators are starting to realise and understand that maybe their business models are broken and Business Development Manager's should actually live up to their title and stop acting and working like estate agents.

A study by Manchester INC resulted the key benefits of coaching assistance as follows
Improved productivity           53%
Enhanced quality                   48%
Superior business strength    48%
Superior customer service     39%
Reduced complaints              34%
Reduced costs                       23%  to name a few

So you've got a choice, carry on with that ten ton weight of worry dragging round your ankle or do something about it!!. Your success may just be a phone call away.
