Grow Your Small Business Consultant Business

Ready to have a successful and efficient small business consulting practice?

Good for you!

There are millions of small businesses that need your help. Working directly with the small business owner creates value for you both.

Small business consultants and coaches have come to me over the past 17 years, asking for mentoring and guidance about building their own small business consulting practice. I've created this program for people like you who want to mentoring with a seasoned small business consultant, as well as the special dynamic that small group mentoring circles can provide.

Welcome to the Greenstreet Master Program

Whether you want to call yourself a coach, consultant, mentor or advisor, if you are serious about assisting self-employed small business owners to build their businesses, then this program is for you.

This unique group mentoring program is for small business consultants who serve solo entrepreneurs and micro business owners.

This is not a training class. It is private group mentorning program, customized to what you need to work on each month, so you can learn exactly the skills you need and brainstorm solutions to current challenges -- either in your own business or challenges that your clients are presenting to you.

What you learn in this mentoring program you will use immediately with your clients and in your own business development.

This is a group mentoring program for coach-consultants who want to work directly with the business owner, and use both coaching skills and consulting expertise to help entrepreneurs get the results they seek.

What Will We Focus On?

There are three goals that every small business consultant has:

• Business Growth To grow your consulting practice, increasing revenues annually and serving more clients.
• Getting Things Done To be more efficient in running your business, reducing overwhelm and stress.
• Business Strategy To have a clear vision of your business model, for today and for the future.

 

Why Learn With Me?

I taught my first business building class to a group of entrepreneurs in 1996. I have designed the Greenstreet Master Program based on my 17 years as a small business coach, consultant and trainer, and my 31 years as a small business owner.

• I have owned five businesses and sold three of them.
• I have served clients in 47 industries, and I bring that world of knowledge directly to you.
• I have taught over 260,000 students the business and personal growth skills they need in order to start, grow and streamline their businesses.
• I run a School for the Self Employed, working with students from across the globe.
• I have written 35 business development classes.
• I have written five ebooks and designed eight audio programs.

With all this skill and experience, I know quite a few shortcuts -- ways to help you acquire skill and grow your own consulting business.

You Will Wear Two Hats

I designed this program to help you gain new knowledge and skill, and put them to use immediately. You will use each topic we discuss in two ways:

• First, in your own business, to grow it and make it more efficient
• Second, with your clients, to help them solve business problems

There is no fluff in the Greenstreet Master Program. Every meeting focuses on what you need help with -- topics immediately applicable to everyday business situations and challenges.

 

Here Are Some Common Topics We Discuss

• Track One teaches consulting and coaching skills, helping you gain competency and work better with your clients.

Which Tracks/Topics Are For You?

In a typical small business consultant's lifetime, you would need to know everything in Tracks One, Two and Three.

• If you are a brand new small business consultant, choose your top-priority topics Track One and Track Two.
• If you are already a small business consultant, then you might need a special mix of particular topics from all the Tracks, but not everything on the list. Track Three was created especially for you.

 

Start with a 90 Minute VIP Private Kickoff Intensive

To kickoff the program, you and I will talk privately for 90 minutes to determine your goals for the program and gain clarity on your business focus and challenges, choosing the topics to cover, and the order in which you will learn them.

You will get exactly what you need without wasting time on topics you are already an expert in, topics you aren't ready to tackle yet, or topics you simply don't need because they don't pertain to your specific business model.

Follow Up with Biweekly Group Mentoring Calls

• Twelve 90-minute group mentoring phone sessions, biweekly. This is for brainstorming and problem solving -- a real Think Tank for your consulting business!
• Together we will determine your Action Plan, based on what we discussed in the meetings and what is most important to work on next to help grow your business.
• I share with you any worksheets, checklists, templates, business techniques and forms that I use with clients.
• Private VIP kickoff sessions and group mentoring calls are recorded so that you can review the material repeatedly to gain depth and clarity.

Is This The Right Mentoring Program For You?

This program is designed for serious, motivated, achieving people who want to become better small business consultants. If you are completely committed to building the best consultanting practice you can, if you are wholeheartedly devoted to building the skill set to serve your clients to your highest ability, then this program is for you.

If you want to "dabble" in coaching and consulting, if you're not sure you want to run your own consulting business, if you aren't ready to work hard to build your skills and grow your consulting practice, this program is definitely not for you.

This program is not for business consultants who want to market to mid- and large-sized companies. This program is for consultants who want to work directly with the business owner as their client.

I Expect a lot from My Group Mentoring Participants:

• You will show up to each session ready to work hard, think hard, and dream big.
• You will work on your Action Items and submit them to me before your next session.
• You will ask questions if you don't completely understand something and need clarification or examples.
• You will tell me if you want in-depth information about a topic, or if you simply need a summary.
• You are ready to design a consulting business that meets both your personal and professional goals.

Each 6-month Group Mentoring Program Includes:

• a 90 minute private VIP kickoff session
• 12 biweekly group mentoring calls
• Unlimited access to me via the private online message forum

Program Investment:

6-month membership in this program is $4,500.

Your intial deposit to hold your place in the program is $900. You will make 4 additional payments of $900 thereafter.

If you were to work with me privately for 6 months, it would cost you over $12,000. By offering this group mentoring program, I make it affordable to motivated consultants who are ready to build their business and are decisive when making important decisions, like investing in their education.

This program is only for serious small business consultants who want to grow their business and know they need to invest both time and money to do so.
