Is Business Coaching for you?
Ask Yourself … Why Did You Start Your Business?
What did you hope to achieve? Perhaps it was:
- to take control and work for yourself
- to create an amazing business and be the best in your industry
- Have the freedom to spend more time doing what you enjoy and time with your family
… or simply just to have a better life for you and your loved ones.
How has it worked out so far?
For many of the business owners we have spoken to and worked with over the years, the reality of what the business delivers is often very different. Running a business is challenging and more immense than they could ever have imagined when they set out on their journey.
When asked what is the one thing they would like to change in the business now, most business owners say they want to get more control of their time, build a great team they can trust to do a job well or simply to make more money.
Your problems are not unusual!
John understands all that goes into running and growing your business; the long hours and constantly having to solve problems that others create; not sleeping properly with the worries or arguments over work issues and nowhere near the revenues or profits expected. Even the little things can seem beyond reach, like taking holidays or simply having time off to enjoy the things you use to love to do at a weekend. Because if you are not there doing it or making the decisions, who else can you trust that will?
We can help
We want your business to be successful and thriving. We work with you to show you how to make your business easier to run and more profitable so that you have a business that works for you and not the other way around.
Let us show you how
Being in business should give you a better life. Instead of missing those important life events or being able to take holiday you can enjoy without working crazy hours before you go and after you get back or even just being able to finish early to pick t
he kids up or put them to bed, we want you to be able to have a business where you have the choice. We can help get your life back.
We have thousands of proven, targeted strategies that enable you to:
- get more done in less time
- create an amazing culture that attracts the best in your industry and that you can trust to do the job
- gain more control of your business
- become more efficient and productive
If this resonates with you, consider what you want to achieve that just seems out of reach at the moment. Start to make things happen by booking a free consultation with John now.

Working with John has been life changing!
In 6 months, our turnover had increased by 33%. Working with John has completely transformed our business.
Whilst he has enabled us to analyse and take steps to really drive the business, the impact has not just been on the business. We now have time to step back and evaluate our personal goals too.
Take the plunge – it is the best thing that has happened to us and we’d recommend it to anyone!

I can confidently work on my business instead of in it!
Working with ActionCOACH has turned me from being ‘someone who owns a coffee shop’ into an ‘Award winning business owner’.
Nic Till, Owner, Riverhead Coffee
John helped me to see that through implementing systems and procedures and getting the right team behind me, I can confidently work on my business instead of in it.
We now have a future and financial security!
Before working with John, my business lacked direction and goals. With John’s advice and support, we have smashed our targets and now have aspirational goals in place.

We have a future and financial security now!
Working with John has surpassed all expectations!
When John first engaged with me, I backed off but quickly learned that he knew what he was talking about and made sense. He holds me to account and sets me weekly challenges which then impacts on the business. He has made me want to develop myself personally and this has impacted both the business and my life. He is a really great guy and working with him has surpassed all expectations.

The Importance of planning!
"My first workshop with John inspired me to think bigger, and think about what could be. Talking through my business progress with John made me realise I was doing better than I thought, giving me the confidence to apply for the Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce New Business Award 2019, of which I was thrilled to be a finalist. I am now taking part in the 90 day planning workshops which have been helping me develop as a business and plan the future growth of Hats & Tiaras."

The importance of setting goals
"The importance of setting goals
Nicky Thomas, MD, The Growth Community
Thank you so much for your support with planning. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it incredibly useful. Getting a few goals down in that level of detail feels really empowering and a lot more real now! I will definitely be recommending this session to my members."
Liam O'Leary, MD, Laser Red
"Working with John and ActionCOACH has been a great learning experience, helping to improve our business systems, strategy and management. John always knows the right questions to ask in order to help you get the best out of yourself. He's got a great way of looking at problems and working with you to help you find the right solution. He pushes you to think bigger and further than you might otherwise do alone."
Liam O'Leary, MD, Laser Red
On line 90 Day Planning
"I've attended both the face to face and on-line 90 day planning sessions and both have their advantages. At the recent on-line session we had a small group and were able to bounce ideas off each other. It made me think about my business and how I can grow it rather than just surviving through this difficult time. It changed my way of thinking and my biggest learning was about the 5 ways numbers and what a difference an increase of just 10% can make to a business."
Pippa Mell, Owner, Diamond Office Support
