What can a business coach do for a small business based in the Gold Coast?

JD-Business-Coaching

Running a business is a challenge like no other. You might have expertise in certain areas, but being able to master all areas of business is unrealistic. The truth is, no one can manage everything within a business without help. Real business growth comes from identifying what parts of the business you need guidance in, and finding the resources to help you get there.

Business coaches can act as that source of guidance, and help you get the resources and tools you need to improve your business. The Entourage is the largest coaching and training centre for entrepreneurs and business owners in Australia. Since 2010, we’ve amassed a community of over 500,000 entrepreneurs across Australia. Our members come from across Australia, including the Gold Coast, SydneyMelbournePerthBrisbane and Adelaide, and represent a range of industries. Our programs are rated as being amongst the best for business coaching programs in the Gold Coast, with a number of our most successful members hailing from the area.

Our approach at The Entourage is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to grow your small business sustainably. While every business is different, the formula for growth and success remains the same. Across the 6 pillars of business (MarketingSalesProductOperationsFinance and People) we’ll provide you with training and coaching to help you address the specific challenges you’re facing in your business, and turn them into strengths.

Managing a business might be challenging, but like anything else, it’s a skill.

We can help you work on your business, not in it, and grow it to the level you want it to.

A tailored business mentoring experience for Gold Coast businesses

Our approach at The Entourage is that no two businesses are the same, but many of the challenges that business owners go through are. When you sign up with The Entourage, you’ll have access to a team of dedicated coaches who will work with you on where your business currently stands, and where you want it to be. Your small business coach will then work with you on which resources, whether that be learning on our OnDemand platform, an upcoming workshop, or a session with one of our industry experts, will best address the immediate needs of your business.

Through our 11 years of experience with The Entourage as well as that of the wide pool of industry knowledge and expertise, we have been able to help 3500+ businesses across 150+ industries transform, and help accrue over $2 billion in revenue for our members since 2010. And we want to make you our next success story.

Our core training and coaching programs cover the essential pillars of business that every multi-million dollar business has perfected — MarketingSalesProductOperationsFinance and People.

FAQS

Sydney is the home of The Entourage. With most of our team based in Sydney, they have extensive personal business experience in the local economy and market. And while we offer mostly remote coaching options, there are opportunities to receive your 1-on-1 coaching in-person, or join in-person member events, workshops and boardrooms when you join Elevate or Accelerate.

And while our small business coaches are all based in Sydney currently, we have an array of backgrounds and experiences within our team, including coaches from or with local Adelaide economy and market experience, as well as that of the other cities around Australia as well. Our key programs do, however, offer the chance to network with other like-minded entrepreneurs at in-person events throughout the year.

The Entourage Elevate and Accelerate Program are The Entourage’s key business coaching programs. Application only, when you join one of these two programs, you’ll have access to our repertoire of experts and business coaches for 12 months. In this 12 month period, your small business coach will help you create a roadmap to success utilising the variety of experience and knowledge in The Entourage. Our third program, Fast Track, is an online program that you can access anywhere at any time and complete at your own pace.

As our business coaches are all based in Sydney, we offer regular online coaching calls to allow for flexibility in scheduling to suit your best time. Giving you the power of extremely efficient strategy calls, and allowing you to not be restricted by travel time, you'll be able to access the best of the best in business across Australia, not just in the Gold Coast.

Our business coaches have worked with over 500,000 entrepreneurs across Australia with experience with over 150 industries across the world. We have learned that the challenges business owners face are universal but dependent on their size, which is why our programs are tailored to business size to give the right resources and tools dependent on your specific challenges.

Our programs are designed to accommodate all small to medium businesses, regardless of industry. Our programs do cater to different levels of business, as 6 & 7-figure businesses face different challenges to 8-figure businesses. If you’re not sure which program is right for you, book in a Discovery Call with one of our Entrepreneur Development Managers to learn more about what our programs have to offer, and which is right for your business.

A business consultant is someone who you reach out to for specific areas of challenge and results. They are likely to work with you and your team to create a specific project plan to solve that issue. Sometimes, they'll also work with you to solve the problem.

The difference with a business coach is that whilst a coach can and will help you solve specific areas of challenge, they will help you look at your business from a holistic perspective. By looking at your business from all areas of growth, they're able to identify multiple areas of challenge, including leadership and personal development, to help you and your business grow long-term, rather than from a one-off solution.
