However, the number one obstacle new entrepreneurs face is FEAR.

    - Fear of failure

    - Fear of the unknown

    - Fear of not knowing

         what to do or whom to go to for affordable guidance and support.

Features and Benefits:  working with a business coach

1.  You benefit by our experience, both personally and professionally. 

As your business coach, we serve as your confidant whose role is

to give you:

- objective advice and guidance

- an honest assessment

- emotional support

- a pool of resources

- a safe haven to be your "sounding board"

2.  -  We listen to you. We encourage you. We support you. 

There are numerous questions, barriers and concerns that need to be sufficiently

answered so as to truly prepare yourself to successfully implement "your plan."

Just as you have professionals such as your physician, attorney, therapist or

financial advisor to help you when specific needs, questions or issues arise, now

you can add to your support network a business coach.  Please be mindful that

the role of your business coach is not to be a substitute for legal or tax advice. 

Rather,  your business coach serves as your personal mentor whose role is to

bring out the best in you:

- to pull out from you your creativity and self-confidence

- to help you see solutions to problems and overcome obstacles

- to recognize your strengths and positive attributes

- to appreciate your perseverance

- to validate your achievements and hard work

As a professional resource to you, your business coach is available to develop

and mentor you in the areas of leadership development, management skills, conflict

resolution and negotiation strategies, personal and professional goal setting,

communication skills, business development strategies, sales, organizational

management... all these areas and more, within the context of you as an

entrepreneur, a manager, a community leader, or an executive director.

Each of our business coaches have a wide array of life experience, with all having

reached middle or executive management level positions, coupled with a minimum

of 30 years business experience.  In addition, our business coaches bring to

ADDENDA Solutions an array of field experience from the banking and

finance industry, manufacturing, retail, government, education, as well as the

non-profit sector. 

All of our business coaches are college educated with degrees in either psychology,

business, management or education.  All of us have professional training in

mediation and counseling.  Moreover, we are all either independent contractors or

seasoned entrepreneurs ready to mentor the next generation of small business

owners like yourself.

During the negotiation phase of our contractual agreement with you, together with

you, we will determine the frequency of our weekly conversations, whether in person,

by telephone, webcam, or email.  The hourly rate is $95, with payment terms customized

in accordance with your ability.

Regardless of your location, we fully utilize technology and other means to serve

you well.

3.  We are right by your side; we are there when you need us most.

Being an entrepreneur is one of the most difficult pursuits.  Owning your own business,

in addition to your role as a parent taking care of your children, your role as a child now

caring for your aging parent or loved one, your role as a manager supervising your

employees, your role as...     the list goes on, doesn't it?  What about you?

Your business coach is there for YOU and only YOU:

- as your mentor

- as your confidant

- as your business consultant

- as an invaluable resource

- as a sounding board

- as one you can bounce ideas off of

- one you can trust to not let you down
