Is yours a Great Little Business that's not yet working like the well-oiled machine you know it COULD be?
Are you still chipping away at the coalface but not really making much impression where it counts - in your bank account?
Are you working all hours but exhausted and poor, fearing burnout but too terrified to stop?
But most importantly of all, are you ready to stop the rot and DO something about it?
I know just how you feel! I have been in that place many a time and I know just what to do about it.
It means I am far too close to my own project(s) to see what's really going on and I need some great help and perspective and I need it NOW - a sticking plaster ain't going to do... we are looking at major life-saving surgery here!
Sometimes it means I am juggling far too many projects and just need to decide which horse to back, putting the others aside for some time. As Steve Nobel said to me recently and very memorably, "if you chase two rabbits you aren't going to catch either of them". He was alluding, of course, to the curse of the entrepreneur - lack of focus.
What I do know is, when I feel like that - something's gotta change. Me. I've got to change what I am doing to get a different result. I've got to take action.
Here we are, rapidly heading towards the end of 2007, can you believe it? And if you are still chasing abundance in the shape of your own business success, isn't it time you put your hand up and asked for some businesslike help?
As you know, I was an accountant to small businesses for the first twenty years of my business career, a business I went on to sell for six figures. And I've done that more than once, and now I am building a franchise with The Cleaning Biz.
I'm also a wealth coach with The Money Gym, a rampant entrepreneur myself, a property investor, internet marketer and a business mentor to other small businesses and entrepreneurs. I have racked up thirty years' experience working with over 1,000 businesses and my focus is always on the bottom line.
Show me the money!
I bet you' re saying that too, aren't you?
My mission is to save entrepreneurs and small business people from the pain of working in it, and working very hard for scant return. I know. I was there.
I had to sell my business and start all over again, designing my newer businesses from scratch in a way supports the life I choose to enjoy. I'm hoping you won't have to do that (sell yours), but are you prepared to, if necessary, to stop the bleeding?
I remember my brother, the banker, telling me about fifteen years back, when looking at my accounts and my business with that annoying perspective that only a third party can have, "the tail is wagging the dog". Know how that feels? Answerable 24/7 to creditors, bank managers, clients and staff and they all come before you and yours.
I hadn't read Rich Dad Poor Dad then or all the books which advise Pay Yourself First, and even if I had I would probably have had no idea how to do that then. But I do now.
Perhaps you have fallen into the entrepreneur's traps of dependency, responsibility and over-activity and have no idea how to extricate yourself.
Perhaps you are not as close as you think to the money after all (I suspect you might know this).
Perhaps the burden is beginning to tell - no rest and relaxation without worry/terror, debt, concern about your future, your old age, how to pay for your outgoings culminating in sleeplessness, indigestion and stress and over-reliance on your props.
Can you face another year like that? Will your health and relationships stand it?
If your answer is "No! Definitely not!" then lets start to do something about it together - NOW!
Let's find a way to get your business WORKING FOR YOU, not the other way around!
You mentioned that you help people with money.
You're right, but it's like saying that Bill Gates isn't short of a bob or two, or that I wouldn't kick Jennifer Aniston out of bed. Both statements are true, but woefully understated.
What you fail to mention is that you don't just help people with money, you get them to start with a blank piece of paper, design their ideal life, then make a plan to get them there. Even when they don't know what this will look like, you coach them to find their nirvana. I should know, I was one.
As if that wasn't enough, you help people do that magical thing of "being all they can be". William Wallace said " All men die, few men truly live". What better epitaph can there be than "Pete Stanley - he was all he could be" ?

So, let's cut to the chase. What's in this for you?
I'm proposing take on a small handful of entrepreneurial clients and work with them for three months only initially and I'd like to start IMMEDIATELY .
I'd like to do the first month's coaching with you face-to-face in London wherever humanly possible, and if that doesn't work with wherever you live in the world, then we can do it on the phone (less than ideal for what I have in mind). This is real hands-on mentoring.
And I'd like for the first session to be two to three hours long, as we need to get into this in some depth to start off with. My entrepreneur clients are really getting great results with this kick-start approach. I thought I was going to be a virtual coach, but it seems The Universe has other plans for me, that I can create the most benefit for you when we meet up.
Then, throughout 2008, you can take the remaining nine coaching hours as you please.
Three more three-hour sessions face-to-face. Or an hour a month over the telephone, or anything in between to suit you. I'm happy to be client-led on this one since entrepreneurs often know best what works for them, or you will do after we have got the feel of working together. One size doesn't fit all.
So, I'm offering accelerated business mentoring on a one-to-one basis for you and your business to start right now, and hit the ground running in 2008 to make it your BREAKTHROUGH year.
So that by this time next year we will be celebrating, and the misery, scarcity and frustration you feel today could be but a dim and distant memory.
I'm looking to work with bright, energetic people who know they have it in them to be a success in business. You LOVE this lane of the wealth highway and you just can't help yourself! You know you need to work smarter not harder, you know you'd love and appreciate my full-on help, mentoring and support. You will have me on your team.
I'm full of ideas which can make your profits effortless compared to what you are doing now. Is the E-Myth right for you, or are you more of a Four Hour Workweek type? No time to read business books? No worries... I've read both of them - at least twice!
Whaddya say? Am I talking to you?
Great! Then please rush to get in touch immediately. Email me or call me at the number at the top of this page and let's talk about your project and let's see if and how I can help.
I won't put you through an interview, but I will want to ensure there is something I can do to help you, and give you a great return on your investment. Maybe what we will discover is that you are doing pretty well already, the darkest hour is often just before dawn. Tweaks maybe all that is required, very valuable tweaks.
One of the guys who did some business writing for me recently called me a Millionaire Maker. And I thought, modestly, "oh well, really, that's stronging it a bit". But actually it's not. Several of my clients have gone on to create millions. In fact, just this afternoon I was Skype-chatting with one who's just buying his second helicopter. I kid you not.
I'm not new to coaching but I am new to Judith and after just our third session I found myself saying: "Do you know how good you are?" - I mean, REALLY? Quite simply the fast-talking, clear-thinking, results-orientated Judith is what I can only term a "super coach". And as those of you who have worked with coaches in the past may well know, there are coaches and then there are super coaches, and Judith is most definitely the latter. That said, if we could create a third and more dynamic niche still, then Judith would own it and bathe in it, quite possibly all on her own.
So those that choose Judith don't just choose quality and results (which are more than enough in and of themselves) but also all that comes with her, which appears infinitely glorious because she's also a fabulous individual, and this can only be a good thing, and extends way beyond what any testimonial could suggest. 11/10 from me, that's for sure.
