Startup Coaching

Need An Expert Startup Business Coach? Contact Louise Jenner

Starting your own business can be a highly rewarding journey that allows you to turn your passion into a career path, develop as both an individual and a businessperson, and establish a reputation as a leading professional in your industry.

But these benefits come with many challenges.

When you grow your own business from the ground up, you are the one who assumes all responsibility for your day-to-day business operations and how it performs in the marketplace.

You will have to rely on yourself to overcome any obstacles that come your way, while ensuring that client work is completed on time and that your routine processes run smoothly.

This is difficult enough for seasoned businesspeople with a wealth of skills, knowledge, and connections to call upon, so for those with little experience behind them to inform their decisions, it is an especially hard challenge.

And with 10% of UK startups failing within the first year – and a further 60% failing within five years – starting a business can at times seem like a thankless task. But what is the key to becoming a part of the successful 30% of businesses that stand the test of time?

It takes more than just confidence and motivation to make a startup succeed. It will also require rigorous business planning, the ability to set and meet achievable goals, accurately assessing your business’s strengths and weaknesses, and improving on its flaws.

On top of this, you will need to consider how you will fund your business, be aware of the common startup mistakes to avoid, and know how to communicate with clients effectively.

This is where startup coaching comes in.

A startup coach helps you to set and achieve realistic goals, and provides professional guidance and valuable insight from a place of personal experience.

What Is Startup Coaching?

The aim of startup coaching is to help new business owners overcome challenges and increase their chances of success.

It involves collaborating closely with an experienced coach who provides personalised advice, battle-tested strategies, and the necessary tools to help you succeed in your new business.

Startup coaching covers a wide range of areas, including business development, personal growth, and skill-building. Through this process, coaches support entrepreneurs to set and achieve measurable and realistic goals, create effective business plans, identify and overcome obstacles, develop successful strategies, and improve their decision-making abilities.

Using their entrepreneurial expertise, coaches are a voice of experience, offering valuable insights to inform and empower startup owners.

Startup coaching is a collaborative process, nurturing both personal and professional growth. It empowers entrepreneurs to cultivate the necessary skills, mindset, and resilience required to overcome challenges and succeed in a competitive business environment.

The primary objective of startup coaching is to support new business owners to realise their full potential. Coaches work closely with clients to help them harness and develop their strengths while addressing their weaknesses.

Under the guidance and support of a coach, entrepreneurs can learn the essential skills of entrepreneurship – such as market analysis, customer acquisition, financial management, team building, and how to scale operations.

Using the expertise of a startup coach, entrepreneurs can accelerate their learning curve, avoid common mistakes, and make well-informed decisions that propel their businesses toward long-term success.

The guidance and support provided by a startup coach are highly valuable resources that allow entrepreneurs to optimise their abilities and make strategic choices that align with their goals.

How Having A Startup Coach Can Help Entrepreneurs

Starting a business can be challenging, but with the support of an experienced coach, entrepreneurs in the startup stage can overcome common obstacles and increase their chances of success.

Startup coaching offers professional guidance, personalised advice, and strategies tailored to the specific needs of new business owners.

The benefits of startup coaching are backed by compelling facts and statistics, as research shows that coaching for businesses yields a significant return on investment (ROI).

For instance, studies show that executives who invest in coaching can expect an ROI of nearly 60% as a direct result of the growth and development inspired by the coaching process.

In fact, an impressive 86% of companies report a positive ROI after engaging in business coaching, indicating that these advantages are experienced by a wide range of clients from various industries.

Beyond financial gains, business coaching contributes to establishing a healthy work/life balance, as an overwhelming 98% of coached individuals report an improvement in their work/life balance – thereby helping them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce their vulnerability to stress.

Business coaching also fosters greater personal growth and development, as 80% of individuals who receive coaching experience an increase in self-confidence, while 70% of coached individuals benefit from improved work performance, enhanced relationships, and more effective communication skills – resulting in enhanced overall performance and better interpersonal skills.

Another crucial aspect of startup coaching is mentorship.

Mentorship provides valuable support and enables personal development – all of which achieves real results, with as many as 92% of small business owners agreeing that mentors have a direct impact on their growth and the survival chances of their business.

Throughout the startup coaching process, entrepreneurs can benefit from the knowledge, experience, and networks of their coach, accelerating their learning curve and improving their decision-making abilities.

As a result, the satisfaction levels among coaching clients are remarkably high, with 96% expressing their willingness to engage in coaching again. This is a testament to the effectiveness and positive outcomes that entrepreneurs experience as a result of the coaching process.

June Carnell

Working with Louise Jenner has been a positive, powerful, and transforming journey. When I started with Louise Jenner, in December 2019, I was feeling disillusioned and wasn’t sure how I could successfully move my business forward.

I highly recommend working with Louise Jenner if you want to move your business forward in dynamic and life-enhancing ways. Since working with Louise, I have radically changed my perspective, valuing my brand and making it more visible. I have moved my business forward on several levels and created more focus.

This change was easier to accomplish, due to Louise being really lovely to work with. She is warm, genuine, understanding, inspirational, has lots of ideas and is very motivating. Louise set enjoyable actions to keep me moving forward and held me accountable for their completion.

She has picked me up when I needed it the most with her wisdom and humour. Louise believed in me and my brand from the start. I have left all of my sessions with her feeling uplifted and inspired to create the success for my business it deserves.
