Increasing Profit
|
I've been a business owner since I was 24. I love the independence of doing things my way. I have had several businesses from retailing to manufacturing to service businesses. One of those businesses is an Automatic Transmission workshop that I own with my husband, Colin. Our business plodded along for 7 years, paying the bills and giving us a modest income.
We worked really hard and rewarded ourselves with a 1 week holiday each year. We knew we could do better in our business but didn't know how, and we didn't want to work our whole lives just to end up on a pension. That was before we discovered Action, or more accurately they found us. We spoke to an Action coach who showed us what life could be like as business owners working on our business, and not just in it. We've been working with our coach for 17 months and the difference is amazing. Before coaching we had no idea that we knew so little about our business. We had no systems, no plan, no life!
After coaching - we have a life!
We're having FUN with our business again. We have more money, we've just had 3 weeks holiday in America, and we're planning more trips. We now know how to plan for the business to run without us and provide us with a passive income within the next few years.
Business is going from strength to strength. Profits are up by 29% and we recently had our best month ever - 360% increase in turnover (revenue) on the same month last year. We have begun recruitment for new team members to handle all the extra work. We are implementing systems so the business can run without us and in the very near future we are planning on opening another branch. Business is great!
