Running a business on your own can be one of the loneliest feelings and that's exactly how Melanie felt when she was running her events business. After a year in business, Melanie was in a position to close the doors due to finding it hard to run her business without having anyone else to bounce ideas off. Melanie says she was constantly stressed all the time and her head was full of work not having time to relax. Family and home time were impacted by constantly thinking and worrying about the business.
From a personal point of view, Melanie was ready to stop operating her business and stack shelves in a supermarket. She had it in her head that working for someone, being told what to do would have been a better way of life. Someone had referred Action Coach Simon Ellson to Melanie and at initial assumption, she thought there was no point meeting him as she was at a low point. After consulting with an ex-business partner, Melanie decided it was worth giving it three months to see how things go.
Before taking ActionCOACH on board they had a very narrow structure with the lead generations. Since working with ActionCOACH, they have been improving the leads which have made a difference. They are now able to look at converting the leads, margins and everything else. There has been a shift with the negative stress to positive work stress. ''Stress from being busy'' as Melanie says.
The most valuable thing that Melanie has gained from having Action Coach Simon Ellson is the support and having the ability to bounce ideas off each other. From a business perspective, comparing the figures the previous year, Oliver Myles Events has seen a gross profit increase of 150% and a net profit increase of 150%. Not only is the business in a healthy shape but so is Melanie. Her husband has noticed her confidence boost compared to the previous years. It was during a networking event her husband spotted the confidence with the way she speaks to people.
Like many other business owners, Melanie was sceptical at first but looking back now she urges business owners to take that leap since there is nothing to lose. The biggest financial results since working with ActionCOACH is the 150% increase in profit. Oliver Myles Events wouldn't be here if it wasn't for ActionCOACH. Simon Ellson is now a fundamental part of the team and business.
