 "Without having the support and guidance, I don't know where I'd be."
"Running off on tangents with no clear focus or direction was what I used to do before being coached by Lorraine.
Having the accountability and keeping me on track has been a major benefit. If it wasn't for coaching I'd be struggling and not doing the core things I need to do to grow my business.
It's been even more crucial as I've also been going through a difficult time personally. Without having the support and guidance, I don't know where I'd be."

 "From $49,000 to $350,000"
"When I first began coaching with Lorraine I set a number of large goals, which at times I must admit, made me doubt if they could be achieved.
The accountability was what really pushed me to build and expand my business. As well as the personal coaching, I have participated in Lorraine's group coaching and teleseminars which allowed me to also learn by hearing from other business owners.
I still find it quite remarkable. 18-months after first taking on Lorraine's coaching I have increased my annual turnover from $49,000 to over $350,000!
Thanks heaps Lorraine."

 "The changes have been so small and yet the improvements so huge."
"Your coaching program has been so subtle but yet so amazingly effective.
The changes have been so small and yet the improvements so huge. Not only have the improvements affected me but I am finding that they are now becoming contagious to everyone around me. Simplifying systems are creeping in to the office; the clutter is fading away and the efficiencies increasing significantly.
Before starting the program I honestly thought that by having an open door policy I was helping my staff and in turn the business to achieve its goals.
What a foolish thought that was...Not only has the team now become more independent and value our structured meetings together I have finally bought back my time to spend with my family and work on the business.
I have learned to value MY time. I've also found the time and energy to analyse our customer base and market segmentation from which I have now developed and implemented strategies to improve the business. These strategies will decrease the work load on the business by as much as 30% and increase profits through working with better clients.
I have developed strategies to help retain our existing customers through regular newsletters and allocate my time towards chasing new corporate clients.
Your coaching program has shown me that by making simple adjustments to the way I work, that I can make much more money, run my business so much more effectively and enjoy time for myself and with my family.".

 Profits
up 38.2% and I'm Having a Life
“Prior to coaching I
was stressed out and overwhelmed with all I needed
to do. In fact, I was nearly ready to get out
of the business altogether due to the high the
level of pressure.
Since being coached by Lorraine, I'm getting my
business under control, working less and making
more money. Profits are up 38.2% It has given
me more time to focus on where we can achieve
more income from the products we have with the
least amount of energy and time.
The greatest benefits from coaching is being able
to spend more time with my family, getting my
health back on track and being more efficient
with my time at work. It's definitely worth doing!”

 "After
20 years being in business, I had lost my passion.
I was sick of working 12 hour days."
Since being coaching
by Lorraine I have cut my working time considerably,
I enjoy more family time, I'm happier and much
healthier. In fact my fitness has increased 200%
which makes me extremely productive. My passion
has been ignited again.
I've also changed my mindset from being a 'worker'
to being the 'business owner'. The additional
time I now have free allows me to work on my business,
rather than in it and enjoy more personal time.
I'm even planning to go dirt bike riding regularly,
something I've been wanting to do for years!"

 “Coaching
Has Helped Me Keep Sane!
Working
with Lorraine has been fantastic. I have more
time with my kids and have finally restored the
balance in my life between running the family
home and working on my home-based business.
Before working with Lorraine, I was up past midnight
every night trying to get everything done and
getting absolutely nowhere.
I have learnt how to work smarter. I’ve
increased the quality and productivity of the
limited business hours I have available due to
having a very young family.
I have more time to be with my family, I use my
time more effectively reducing the number of hours
I need to work.
Now that I have the time to work on the business,
I’ve found better ways to do things, saving
time and money and increasing profits thanks to
Lorraine.
“Establishing my own business has been way
out of my comfort zone. Coaching with Lorraine
has set me on the right path. She has helped me
in many ways, including reassurance that I'm heading
in the right direction, providing structure and
procedures. It's great that business is booming
and my working time is reduced.
Balancing being a mother of 3 young children and
running a growing business, coaching has helped
me focus and increase my profits. It has also
been instrumental in keeping my sanity!"

 “I
Now Have An Additional 2 Days A Week To Spend
With My Family”
"Prior to being coached
by Lorraine I was at work 6 days a week until
8.00 p.m. and often much, much later.
My business had gone through
a lot of ups and downs, including coming very
close to losing it all just a couple of years
ago. I started making some changes that got
me moving in the right direction, but it was
slow and a bit aimless at times.
I have been working with Lorraine
over the last 5 months, and despite the workload
increasing with new clients, new services and
overhauling systems and structures within the
business, I'm now leaving the office around
6 pm most days and even having occasional long
weekends.
My productivity has increased
by 20% which in real terms means I now have
an additional 2 days a week to spend with my
family.
By learning how to manage my
time, I am more productive and happier; my team
are more effective, I can focus on the business
which in turn will increase my bottom-line by
at least 20 %.
I would highly recommend
to any small business owner who is feeling overwhelmed
with the pressures of business and want to change
their situation to get coached by Lorraine.
It has been one of the best investments I have
ever made."

I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful coaching program that we are working on together. At the start I wasn't sure if I needed to do "productivity coaching" as I believed I was one of the most organized people I knew and I thought that I knew what steps I needed to take to improve my business however you have opened my eyes to a whole new meaning of "efficiency" and a new way of operating my business which has increased the time available for me to work "on" my business. I believe you have not only short-tracked my process improvement but also gave me ideas I would not have thought of myself.
