The Independent Business Coach

If you are going to be an Independent professional or business owner you need to have an Independent Business Advisor.  This doesn't mean you don't take advantage of the "FREE" advice offered by your suppliers.  A lot of it is very useful to you. 

In your heart you know there is no free lunch in the business world.  If there is no obvious charge to you then there is a reason it is free.  It is always worthwhile asking yourself what the head of the company offering free advice is telling his investors about why he is offering it?  Is it happing for you; or to you?  When they suggest a call to action is it your profits or their profits they want you to sacrifice?

If your business looks more like a commissioned sales point for your supplier then you are not really independent.

Theory of Constraints

What is your constraint to being as successful as you want to be?

Is your support team propelling you?  Or are you towing them along?

Are your finances helping you fund your purpose?  Or are you unsure?

Is your communication noble and clearly understood?  Or does it seem a lot like the person down the street?

Are you achieving your Purpose?  Or are you running on your wheel hoping for the best?

Are you really enjoying your professional journey?

If you ever feel like a hamster running on it's wheel (lots of activity without progress) then you aren't alone. 

It is often said failing to plan is planning to fail.  I don't agree.  Failing to plan just makes your destination random.  Running a business without a plan is like taking a trip without a destination or a map to get there.  Sure  you may end up somewhere desirable, but who knows?

You are going to work hard anyway, so you may as well go somewhere you want to go and enjoy the journey.

Planning isn't as hard as you have been taught.  We skip the SBA type business plan that ends up on the shelf and use a working document.  Like you would use a map on a vacation.

A useful plan changes wishful thinking about what might be to a destination you can achieve and it enables you to enjoy the journey. 

The hamster in the cage has lots of activity without progress.  A plan frees you from the cage and gets you out where activity results in progress.

The Purpose of Thriving Audiology is to enable Audiologists and their teams create a professional environment for themselves where they don't just survive, but where you will Thrive.
