How business coaching works.
A proven six-step system that puts you back in control of a profitable, growing business. Your coach works with you in 90-day cycles, so you see progress in as little as 90 days.
A commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you.
That's the goal of every ActionCOACH engagement. The ActionCOACH Business Operating System (ABoS) installs it in six steps, in order, so each stage builds on the last.
The result is a business that gives you four kinds of freedom, and one you could sell if you chose to.
Time Freedom
Work fewer hours and spend them on the work only you can do.
Team Freedom
A capable team that takes ownership, so the business doesn't stop when you do.
Money Freedom
Predictable profit and cash flow, and a business that's worth more.
Motivation Freedom
Clear goals and a reason to get up and grow every day.
Six steps from chaos to a business that runs without you.
Mastery
Get on top of the business before you try to grow it. Most owners are working long hours inside the business with no clear plan. Mastery puts the foundations in place across four areas.
Improve each of the five by just 10% and the gains multiply, adding about 61% to profit.
Marketing
Profitably buy lifetime customers. Your coach works through the five profit drivers with you, so growth comes from a formula rather than guesswork.
The Ladder of Loyalty. Then we turn one-time buyers into repeat clients who refer others.
Systems
Let the system run the business and the team run the system. Systems are how the business keeps running when you step away.
- Direction: a clear vision, mission, culture and goals the whole team understands.
- Structure: an organisation chart with defined roles and accountabilities.
- Manuals and checklists: documented processes, so work gets done the same way every time.
The goal isn't a busier owner. It's a business that works, whether you're in the building or not.
Team
Build people who own results, not just tasks. Your coach helps you recruit, lead and keep the right people using the 6 Keys to a Winning Team.
- 1. Strong leadership
- 2. A common goal
- 3. Rules of the game: a shared culture
- 4. An action plan, with clear roles
- 5. Support for risk-taking
- 6. Involvement and inclusion
Communication systems, such as regular meetings and scorecards, keep the team aligned.
Scale
Move from percentage growth to multiplied growth. With strong foundations in place, the focus shifts to five core disciplines.
Freedom
A business that runs, or sells, without you. You decide what the business is for: an income that doesn't need you there, a planned exit, or both.
- A business that runs without you, with the team and systems doing the daily work.
- A business worth buying, with clean numbers, documented systems and a strong team.
- A planned exit, so you choose the timing and the outcome.
The Entrepreneurial Ladder. Coaching helps you move up from self-employed, to manager, to true business owner.

Questions about coaching
How does business coaching work at ActionCOACH?
You work with a certified coach who uses the ActionCOACH Business Operating System (ABoS). It moves your business through six steps: Mastery, Marketing, Systems, Team, Scale and Freedom. You set priorities every 90 days, then your coach keeps you accountable to them.
How long does it take to see results?
Coaching works in 90-day cycles. Many owners see clearer priorities and better control of their numbers within the first 90 days. Bigger changes, such as a business that runs without you, are built over several cycles.
Do I have to start at Step 1?
No. Your coach first assesses where the business is today across all six steps, then focuses on the area that will make the biggest difference first.
What does the first session cost?
Your first strategy session is free. Your coach reviews where you are, where you want to go and what's in the way, with no obligation.
Which coaching program is right for me?
It depends on your goals, budget and how much support you want. Options include one-on-one coaching, group coaching, training programs and events. Your coach will recommend a fit in your free session.
You deserve balance in your life, and a business that makes it possible.
