Coaching

Are you asking yourself, should I start my own business?

Get the right answer for you.

Have a business idea? Just getting started? (It’s awesome fun, isn’t it?) A lot of people would agree that this phase of business is the best part: the dreaming, planning, developing aspects of a new business excite all true entrepreneurs. If you’ve got that heady feeling, you’ll agree now’s the time to accelerate your great idea.

If you’re thinking of getting coaching help, then you, like thousands of others before you, realize that “two minds” can get you a lot further along your course vs. the lone wolf method.

After dozens of one-on-one coaching calls with clients, we discovered something earth-shaking: new start-up entrepreneurs share about 90% of the same concerns!

A great way to experience small biz coaching – without a costly commitment — is with Charting Dreams’ weekly small mastermind business forums and one on one coaching.

Sure, specific know-how is crucial to each individual business, but most new business owners have the same issues to hash out as they embark on the small biz adventure. That’s where our experience comes in with weekly “tele–discussions” on the factors and forces every start-up encounters; and a 60-minute one-on-one coaching call just for you and your business alone.

Mastermind Forum

Held every week, the Mastermind Forum allows for dynamic, interactive teleconferences between start-up business owners (and dreamers) just like you. These calls give you the running start to successfully get your business off the ground. Jen McGahan and Sam Maropis host and direct discussions on topics that matter to just about everyone:
✓ home-based business issues
✓ renting an optimum space
✓ researching your idea, your markets and your competition
✓ creating a productive work environment
✓ balancing work/home life
✓ hiring employees and/or outsourcing help
✓ cash flow/finding money
✓ doing business on the Internet
✓ branding your business
✓ marketing strategies
✓ sales and accounting issues
✓ taxes and legal issues
✓ start-up hazards you can avoid…and more.

Never fear; we have experience keeping conference calls on track. We’re committed to making sure each group of active participants is able to learn and grow from each others’ thoughts, frustrations, ideas and decisions. Our firm Charting Dreams is comprised of a cumulated 30 years facing similar concerns. And we bring our small biz experience to the table as each unique mastermind group convenes. Our commitment to each and every Mastermind participant is to tell it like it is. (We’re not here to be your best friend or sister, as well-intentioned as your closest family and friends are!) We always offer straightforward and objectively compassionate business advice as we see it. Our input is culled from three main sources:

• personal start-up and coaching experience; real life observations
• current trends and news about entrepreneurs and small biz
• research — when the story needs more digging — on our beloved “craft” of small biz start-up.

One-on-One Coaching Call

Included in the price of the Mastermind Coaching Program is one hour of one-on-one coaching each month scheduled to your convenience. After two weeks of forum participation, we will schedule your own personal call to address what’s on your mind: it’s all about you and your business! This is the time when you can get into the specifics and get feedback on your progress. Feel free to bring us any concerns you do not wish to disclose to the group; we understand your need for privacy. We will send you a link to your recorded personal coaching session after each monthly call.

As you shop around for coaching programs, you’ll find the price of $200 per month to be far lower than other business and life coaching services. For this low price you get:

• Four hours of active participation in a forum; One hour of personalized coaching
• Weekly teleconferences – Your choice of Thursday day or Thursday evenings
• Small class/forum size of about 10 people
• Topics of discussion and start-up advice led by a team of two experienced small business coaches who share your enthusiasm for a great small business idea and starting out on your own
• Access to “backroom” information on www.ChartingDreams.com, with the ability to retrieve recorded Mastermind Forum Calls for your personal use.
• A One-on-One 60-minute Coaching Call each month to discuss your business and target “next steps” to grow your business
• Charting Dreams coaches’ referrals to the most useful websites, services, products
• The opportunity to network with and learn from other entrepreneurs
• Access to all recorded calls, forums and one-on-one

And if you sign up for two months at a time, we’ll take $25 off the second month’s price… That’s two months of coaching for $375! You won’t find a better coaching value to energize and inform your start-up dream. Why pay more for a service that delivers less?

We’re so sure you’re going to get what you need from the Mastermind Coaching Program — real, fun, personalized, down-to-earth help, direction, and advice – that we guarantee your satisfaction. If after two weeks you aren’t happy with the program, you can stop without further commitment and we’ll refund 100% of your money.
