24.01.2022 I often get asked, How are you different to other coaches? Personally, I’m not like other business coaches. I don’t believe in the cookie cutter approach where I open up a folder and start at page one. I believe every business is different and therefore requires a different approach. I’m a straight talker, transparent and truthful when it comes to my coaching. I don’t beat around the bush and I pride myself on keeping my clients accountable to their actions. I’m passionate ...about what I do and I’m very intuitive in how I coach my clients to be successful. I listen and above all I care about every single client. I take on a mentor role during my coaching sessions. When I identify problems or issues within the business, I look at possible solutions and outcomes. Never do I tell my client what to do. I advise and coach my client into making positive decisions that are going to help them improve their business. We all agree, a lot goes into building a successful business. I don’t expect my clients to able to do it alone. So whether its about attracting new clients, finding the right staff, doubling your income or working less hours, I thrive on coaching my clients into achieving tangible and profitable results. So if you’re seriously interested: call me for a chat... #coaching #businesscoaching

24.01.2022 Is the Coronavirus having a direct impact on your business? . From what I’m hearing, Australia is now significantly impacted by the coronavirus outbreak, with China’s lockdown expected to cost our economy billions. . I’ve been analysing data with a few of my clients who rely on importing stock from China. Each are starting to feel the impact as a result of factories in China closing down. This coronavirus is causing economic chaos, disrupting business supply chains between ...China and Australia which is hurting everyone including us. If I can’t import stock on time, my sales are going to cease. One client told me. . It’s sad to see Australian companies and major global retailers that rely on stock from China - or operate in China - are already feeling the impact and warn the situation could worsen in the coming months. . Is your business directly impacted by the coronavirus? What could you be implementing in your business to prevent disruption? . #business #coaching #entrepreneur #businesscoach #businessowner #success #help #coronavirus #china #importing #melbourne #australian #struggling #chaos #outbreak See more

19.01.2022 No I don’t really want to grow my business! . Who actually says this? I don’t know about you, but most business owners that I meet try and pick my brain for ways to grow their businesses. . Firstly, this is not an ad for BNI. But BNI has been my way of fast tracking growth strategies for my business. I’ve been an active member of Business Networking International (BNI) for 18 years now and its honestly been the best decision I’ve ever made. My suggestion below is a great tool... that I've learned within BNI which has helped me add thousand's to my yearly income. . My suggestion, when asked by another business owner How are you? Don’t just answer with Fine. You’re not just fine, you’re excited, optimistic and looking for ways to grow your business. So when asked, its the perfect opportunity to mention I’m looking for ways to grow my business. I’ve found in the past you never know who you are talking to and who this person may know who can help you. It's paid dividends for me over and over again. . So what are you doing to grow your business..? See more

16.01.2022 How can I achieve my GOALS faster? To help achieve your GOALS faster, try writing them down on a piece of paper and affix them to the wall next to your desk. For better clarity, try adding photos of what your goals look like to you. For me I’m trying to lose five kilos, so I’ve put a photo of myself on the fridge from about 6 years ago when I was thinner. I find the more you surround yourself with the goals you want to achieve, the more you’ll be reminding yourself to stay on track. . #goals #goodbusiness #businesscoaching #achievinggoals #businesscoach #clarity #business #businessgrowth #success

08.01.2022 Are You Achieving What You Want: Did you know a good coach can help you achieve your business goals and teach you strategies in how to achieve them? A coach can be a powerful support system on your journey: someone who knows you very well and wants the best for you but is a neutral third party. Unlike your family or your employees, your coach isn’t dependent on you for their success. ... A coach will be honest with you in how you’re progressing, reminding you of what you’ve said you want to achieve and letting you know what you’re doing that’s supporting your intentions or getting in your way. Finally, and most importantly, your coach will teach you new ways of thinking and operating your business. I’ve seen hundreds of business owners grow in these ways as a result of working with me as a coach. But I have one caveat: You have to be coachable. Like any new endeavour, working with me can be challenging and even a little scary. But if you’re brave, committed and curious, you’ll find our coaching relationship a powerful catalyst to becoming the business owner you most want to be. Good Luck

07.01.2022 7 easy steps to fix a failing business! However, before you spend another penny on marketing or take on added debt, consider the following reasons that may be keeping your business from growing. Allow me to share a story. Helping people in business has literally changed my life.... Over 12 years ago I went through a messy divorce. I know it's very common these days, however, as a result I lost my wife, my children, a beautiful home - which included a debt of well over $100k. I admit, I wasn’t in a great position. However, I was confronted with having to make a choice! I could choose to fall in a heap... or I could reinvent myself into someone stronger. My love has always been coaching people so I asked myself, how best could I coach myself into enjoying a better life? From that point I realised that if I shared with people my 7 secrets specifically designed to build a successful business, then these people would avoid the heartache I endured. Can you guess what happened? My coaching business took off! I was amazed that so many business owners were basically either not paying themselves a wage, running day-to-day with no direction or lack of accountability. I’ve saved many marriages, changed mindsets, made people accountable for their actions and improved work cultures. As a result, my clients are now enjoying their lives, taking more holidays and making more money. 500+ businesses later, and I’m still coaching business owners and watching the success that it brings for my clients. And now I am on a mission to help more people like you. Would you like more information about my 7 secrets to build a successful business? Simply send me an email to: [email protected] with a brief description of what’s happening in your business. I have 3 individual sessions available this month www.simonbowden.com.au

06.01.2022 Many people have been asking me, How do I continue marketing my business with everyone worried about COVID-19?. . Well firstly, it’s appropriate for you to market your business during this COVID-19 crisis. Chances are your prospects and customers will be spending more time at home listening to the news on TV and through social media. If you show strong leadership and continue to be visible on social media in a positive way, it will lend more credibility to you and your bu...siness in the long run. . Here are my top six things to consider when marketing your business during the COVID-19 crisis: . 1. Show how you’re providing resources, education and support to your employees and customers. . 2. Embrace your leadership role and provide consistent updates on your progress and also share your business continuity plan. It could be helpful to others. . 3. Leverage your business partners by providing tips and insights into what you’re seeing in the current environment. . 4. Using the right tone, offer support and advice to other businesses that may need your help. Offer them a life-line if in trouble. Even just a little help could go a long way. . 5. Make sure your pre scheduled social media posts match the tone of the current environment. 6. And above all, be patient! . #covid_19 #bepositive #staypositive #staypossitive #businessgrowth #tipstohelp #advice #businessowner #coaching #businesscoach #imheretohelp #letshelpeachother

05.01.2022 Have you noticed when talking to a business owner they always have a back up plan for failure but they never have a plan for success. I find this very interesting. Why is this? Is it they have convinced themselves already that the business is going to fail or is it about self confidence? I’ve heard, it’s okay, if this business doesn’t work, I’ll just do something else. I often follow up by saying, Tell me what you’re going to do when the business becomes a roaring succe...ss. With a dumbfounded look on their face, they say, I’ve got no idea. So what is it? Lack of planning or self confidence? #businesscoaching #success #failure #accountability #coach #businesscoach #businesshelp

05.01.2022 Helping people in business has also been the key to my success. . Ultimately having a successful business is all about helping others. If someone has an issue that’s causing them pain and you have the product or service with the solution they require, that’s it! . I think its all about ATTITUDE! If you possess a good business attitude and genuinely want to help people succeed, you’ll find it will naturally attract people back to you. For this to successful you must listen to ...people and provide solutions to their problems. . For those in BNI, you’ll probably recognise this as The Givers Gain Philosophy, I give business to you and in turn you’ll want to give business to me. The more solutions you can provide to people with issues will make your job of selling so much easier. . Never forget... success in business begins with HELPING PEOPLE. And, I course I call that good business! . #success #businesscoaching #helppeople #successinbusiness #coaching #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #businessowner #goodbusiness #BNI #findingasolution #business #giversgain See more
