Inspiring and empowering my clients to achieve their goals whilst having fun!

My name's Alan Verrinder. I'm a business coach with Action Coach. At Action we specialise in changing people's lives; something we've done for thousands of people around the world.

Let me illustrate with a short story. I was getting my hair cut the other day. I go to a small barber's shop in Botley. It always appears to be busy - no competition in town. I was talking to the barber about his plans - he must be in his mid-50s now - and he says that he has to quit the premises in 4 years when the lease is up. When I asked what he will do then he shrugged; "Don't know; probably still have to do a bit here and there". In other words, the business stops when he does.

Here's an alternative: bring in an assistant; start them part time and then build it up to full time. Improve marketing and customer contact to boost customer visits. Cut down your own hours and get a second assistant in. Put your prices up. By the time the lease is up; no, before then, you are ready to move to bigger premises and take on more staff. Before you know it the business runs without you and you can retire and still have the income.

That's what I do.

Hands up if you know someone like my barber?
