"..... I believe Paul and his firm Planning & Control Solutions Ltd are different and I wish I'd met him years ago...if you feel like I did, that there is hidden potential in your business, I suggest you try a new approach and give him a call." Beverley Ward, Managing Director, Hazard Safety Products Ltd
Business Coaching Will Encourage You To Raise Your Targets.
Don't settle for OK or even good when your business has the potential to perform much, much better. Be the best you can be and make your business the best it can be.
My business coaching will help you to focus your time and attention on the really important issues.
The aim for many businesses is clear - better results from less effort and time commitment.
Isn’t that what you really want?
By establishing clear goals and clarifying the steps needed to get there, you will be better able to prioritise those important tasks that must be done. More importantly you'll see which of the tasks should be done by you and which could and should be delegated.
Business coaching may involve some extra time at the beginning but the aim is to avoid that by helping you to improve the way you manage your time.
"I don't have the time" is one of the most common reasons given for delaying business improvement projects. Unfortunately this is often a false economy - the longer you delay, the longer you may be working too many hours for too little pay. All I ask is that you try not to let it happen to you by using one simple technique.
Just answer the question “Why are you putting off calling me?” If it sounds like a weak excuse, or even worse, “victim language” just pick up the phone and call 0121 554 4057 now.
I have been asked how much time you need for a business coaching assignment but the answer depends on you and your business. How fast do you want or need to see improvements in your business?
The more time you can commit to business improvement and "working on your business", the faster and bigger the change that you will experience.
"Paul provides a wide range of professional services that we could not afford with our own staff. The quality of his work and support we receive is excellent." John Jukes, Group Finance Director, Orbis PLC

Business Coaching Will Help You To Learn The Success Factors From Other Trades and Industries.
It's so easy to be trapped by the traditional thinking in your business - what you've always done, what your competitors do - that you don't notice novel and innovative ideas from other businesses that could transform the way you compete.
Why struggle to reinvent the wheel, when you can borrow and adapt ideas from others?
Because I work with different types and sizes of business and read widely, I can tell you ideas and approaches that work for them (without breaching confidentiality) and which could work for you.
An Independent and Objective View of your Business.
When you are working 40, 60, 80 or even working 100 hours per week it's impossible for you to stand back and see it how others do.
But you're investing so much - in time, money and emotion - that you owe it to yourself to make sure that you are not missing out on those blinding flashes of the obvious.
To help illustrate the point, can you just try something for me please.
Pick up a book and look at a page of print. I'm sure you can see it well but please move the book closer and closer to your eyes.
You will notice that when it gets really close, you can no longer read it. The same words are on the page but you are just too close and it's only by moving the book away that you can see it properly again.
It's the same with your business - too close and you can't make out some of the details or you just accept things because "that's the way it's always been done".
But as your business coach, I will see your business differently and by asking focused questions I can help you to take a fresh look.
"I have always found your analysis and insights invaluable in refining the strategy of the businesses we have worked on together." Peter Callaghan, turnaround specialist
Call me, Paul Simister on 0121 554 4057 to learn more about how an independent, objective view can make a big difference to your business.
Support When Making Any Big Or Difficult Decisions.
Success comes from making good decisions and avoiding making bad ones. The bigger the ratio of good decisions to bad decisions, the stronger your business.
But sometimes success and business growth creates its own problems and these can be particularly difficult to wrestle with.
For example you may have to face up to the fact that a loyal employee who has helped you grow and has done a great job in your old business of yesterday just doesn't have the skills you need for the same position in your business of tomorrow.
A recent survey showed that about one third of business owners felt lonely when faced with a big decision.
Imagine the relief when you can bounce your thoughts off me as your independent business coach whose only interest is in helping you to achieve your chosen objectives.
It may not make the right decision any less painful but at least you know that it makes logical sense and that you have taken that decision for the good of your business and everyone else who depends on it for their well being.
