Are you heeding the advice of an expert Business Coach?

If you're running a small or medium-sized business, you need the help.

That's not just a matter of informed opinion. It's a fact.

Almost without exception, human resources analysts agree that competent coaching is no longer a luxury for entrepreneurs hoping to grow their businesses. It's a necessity.

Brad Sugars, founder, Chairman and CEO of ActionCOACH.

Brad Sugars believes this implicitly and it's hard to argue with his position. Sugars is the founder, Chairman and CEO of ActionCOACH, the world's largest and most successful business coaching company.

And he's seen it work time after time.

Even the most dynamic entrepreneur can dramatically improve performance by connecting with a gifted Business Coach.

"These are difficult economic times and business leaders need all the help and advice they can get," Sugars explains from ActionCOACH headquarters in Las Vegas, Nev.

"Sometimes it really helps to have an experienced person looking over your shoulder, helping you identify effective strategies for attracting new customers and for promoting growth."

Since 1993, ActionCOACH has asserted itself as the most accomplished business coaching firm in the global marketplace, with more than 1,000 offices in 26 countries. More than 30 highly qualified Business Coaches are standing by across Canada, ready to provide support and guidance.

Anyone who has built a small or medium-sized business from the ground up has learned how lonely it can be at the top. Such leaders are often faced with overwhelmingly difficult choices, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty.

ActionCOACH provides exactly that kind of high-quality support to help rising entrepreneurs be the best they can be.

"There are so many ways a qualified coach can help you," Sugars continues. "A coach will assist you to conceive, develop and implement a plan for moving your business forward. Meanwhile, the coach will hold you accountable. If you're a business owner, you hold your employees accountable for the things they do and don't do. But who holds you accountable? Your coach does."

When you team with ActionCOACH, you're getting a post-secondary degree in business theory and business practice.

In terms of money, a qualified coach will share techniques for improving your top line and your bottom line. In terms of time, most independent business owners shoulder the bulk of the workload.

But over-extending yourself in the workplace is not a productive strategy. Expert coaching teaches you how to delegate key duties to trusted employees, thereby allowing you the precious time to take a breather.

You may not think you are surrounded by the kind of quality associates you need to carry the ball while you're on vacation. But ActionCOACH will show you how to fine-tune your recruiting techniques so you can.

Having coached tens of thousands of business owners, using a systematic methodology concentrating on strategies and techniques for achieving sustained growth, ActionCOACH brings a broadly based set of tools to the table.

It's a company that has climbed to the top of the mountain in a very short time, garnering awards for global successes from Ireland to Indonesia to New Zealand.

As Sugars points out: "The systems we have used to successfully grow our business are exactly the same ones we teach to our clients. The proof of the pudding is in the eating."

And every client is free to evaluate the success of the method as they go along. If you don't believe you're achieving the desired result, you're free to discontinue the process.

But a hard fact remains.

ActionCOACH clients DO get results and invariably find themselves sticking with the program.

And when they do, they're seldom sorry. In most cases, things start coming together rather quickly.

"There are some very simple changes we can suggest that can rapidly improve the top and bottom line. It doesn't always mean an increase in revenue. More often, our coaches suggest efficiencies that tighten up your earnings," Sugars says.

Before long, ActionCOACH clients even find themselves enjoying the luxury of a few days off.

"Many of our customers come to us because they're looking for strategies to help them cut back on their hours. It's something we've been very successful at," he continues.

But there's something else ActionCOACH clients take away from the coaching experience: Greatly increased confidence as they carry their business forward.
