Hi, I'm Marcus O'Donohue, a Business Consultant, Coach and Mentor
Welcome. Are you looking for a sounding board for the new ideas you have for your business? Do you need some help getting your business to function more effectively so you can grow, make more money or get your time back?
Many business owners tell me they feel alone, not sure who to talk to, or not able to get the right advice. They have visions of what they want to achieve yet there are things that are not working or they are concerned if they drive their new ideas they'll miss something. Some feel they have the wrong type of clients, or money is tight, or they work long hours for little reward, or their staff aren't really engaged. Some are 'ideas people' that need a little help with the details.
With over 30-years’ experience enhancing business operations, I recognise the cause, effect and solutions to business problems. Driving process improvements across businesses of different sizes, making little adjustments to deliver big results, finding and overcoming the roadblocks that stop business growth and identifying areas of wasted money or underperforming investments, I know where to look. These observations and solutions are what I have to share. Experience, training and research have helped me uncover better ways, small changes that lead to big results, tweaks to systems that deliver more effective outcomes and drive growth and increased profits.
If you're looking to get more from your business rather than putting more into it, be that more money, more time or more freedom and lifestyle, then making these small changes are a good first step that will create the platform for the bigger things you want.
How can I help?
Many small and medium size businesses start out as one-person endeavor, with the owner generally a good technician of the business, having the skill at the job, but not necessarily the skills to run and grow business. As the business expands, new demands arise, such as understanding financials, marketing, managing staff and being able to identify what is working, what can be improved or why are things not working as expected or taking longer than anticipated. What is needed is a fresh set of eyes skilled at identifying what is required, someone you can trust - a business advisor. An advisor will be there to support you with planning, implementing systems, giving you strategies to address the gaps you may have and help you grow as a business owner - and make more money or have more time along the way. This is where I can help.
One-on-One Coaching
Working together, using real conversations, we explore what you want to get out of your business, your vision, then at the results you are getting today and also what problems you have that stall your growth. Taking a structured approach, we put a plan in place to fix any problems, improve shortfalls and address the hurdles to growth.
Workshops / Group Training
There are a number of business skills required to succeed and often the education around this is complex. Workshops are focused, simplified to only the key principles and packed full of impact to give you what you need to meet the immediate need. Being interactive, you ask questions as you go, so you know you’ll get what you need.
Culture / Team Engagement
Do you feel like sometimes you and your team speak different languages and they never understand what you want? It’s true. Owners and the team often are on different pages. Using various strategies we can breakdown the barriers, increase engagement and create the culture you need to build your vision.
