In this episode, Ed Nell and Amanda Moore, a business coach with a wealth of experience, dive into the practicalities of working with a coach. Amanda explains the process of the first session with a new client, which begins with a discovery chat, allowing her to understand their pain points. She shares how she uses tools like the "Wheel of Fortune" and a 12-month lookback exercise to assess where clients stand in various aspects of their lives and business. This episode gives valuable insight into how coaching can help identify issues, set actionable goals, and enhance both personal and business growth.

Key Takeaways

Starting with Discovery: The first session focuses on understanding a client’s business and personal challenges through a discovery chat, setting the foundation for a tailored coaching plan.

Unloading and Reflection: The first 10 minutes of each session allow clients to offload their concerns, building trust and creating a space for open conversation before diving into action points.

The Wheel of Fortune: Amanda uses this tool to evaluate a client’s current situation in various areas of their life and business, identifying areas for improvement and setting goals.

12-Month Lookback: Reflecting on the past 12 months allows clients to acknowledge their successes and learn from past mistakes, forming the basis for future growth.

Coaching for Startups and Beyond: Amanda specialises in coaching for startups and medium-sized businesses, focusing on growth, improving processes, and helping clients achieve a healthy work-life balance.

In this episode of Our Love For Business, hosts Ed Nell and Amanda Moore discuss Amanda’s unique journey from corporate finance to becoming a business coach. Amanda shares the lessons she learned from running multiple businesses, including a fast-growing dog training company, and how these experiences shaped her holistic coaching approach. She explains why mindset is just as crucial as strategy and how she helps business owners create sustainable success.

Key Takeaways

The Importance of Mindset – Business growth is often linked to the owner’s mindset. When confidence is high, success follows; when doubt creeps in, challenges can feel overwhelming.

Lessons from Business Growth – Amanda’s dog training business expanded rapidly, but without the right structure in place, she faced challenges managing staff and maintaining cash flow.

Why Business Owners Need a Plan – Many entrepreneurs start without clear goals, leading to reactive decision-making. Amanda now helps business owners set realistic targets and create a clear roadmap.

The Role of a Business Coach – Having an external perspective can be invaluable. Amanda provides tailored support, ensuring business owners not only focus on profit but also on building a business that suits their lifestyle.

Numbers Matter – Understanding financials is key to business success. Amanda now helps clients analyse their profits, costs, and turnover to make informed decisions.

Key Moments

“When your mindset is strong, your business grows with you.”

“I thought I had to do everything myself, but learning to delegate was a game-changer.”

“Success is exciting, but without a plan, you can quickly feel overwhelmed.”

“If you don’t know your numbers, you don’t know your business.”
