Why you need a business coach
Your thoughts race from...
tunnel vision - working IN your business
to
paralysis by analysis where you chase every opportunity and make no progress.
Business Coaching helps you...
see yourself and your business objectively.
With this objective viewpoint,
you'll create the success you hope for with your business and your life.
Kelly Klohs Grady
Owner, Tender Loving Carats
Jeff listens to your needs. He made my business more efficient with less stress! The systems he helped me put in place are genius. I take home twice as much money and work half as much. He knows how to help you make & save more money. I was a very mom & pop, paper receipt kind of girl… scared of computer spreadsheets, paperwork, taxes, & hiring someone to help. Jeff made it all easier, more organized, and calmed me down.
Why Mechanics & Mindset?
When running a business you will encounter mechanical or mindset opportunities.
Mechanics
A business has multiple components that must function properly for it to work. I call these components the "mechanics" of a business.
The mechanical components of a business include...
- Operations – Your product or service
- Marketing – Attracting new prospects
- Sales – Converting prospects to customers
- Employees – Drivers or Detractors of your business
- Finance – Managing your money
- Growth – Ability to scale
- Legacy – What you leave behind
- You – Effectiveness as a leader
Each one of these mechanical components can be measured and improved to give your business machine the best shot at success.
Mindset
Since companies are made up of people, the thoughts and feelings of those people play a critical role in the company's success.
The mindset conditions of your people are...
- Victim - I lose
- Conflict - I win, You Lose
- Acceptance - I win...
- Compassion - You Win
- Opportunity - Win/Win
- Synergy - Everyone Wins
Each of these thought-feeling patterns create a different result in your company. These thoughts and feelings are called "mindset", and can be the difference between success and failure for your company.

Owner, Comprehensive Counseling Solutions, LLC
Jeff helped me to learn the difference between managing my business to becoming an entrepreneur. I went from a solo psychotherapy practice, to running The Center for Well-Being, a wellness leasing company, owning Aesthetics 360 Face and Body Center, with 9 employees focused on helping people look and feel their best, and added a therapist to my psychotherapy practice. I'm now a full Entrepreneur!! Thank you, Jeff, highly recommend his straight forward, challenging approach to help you achieve your goals.
Introducing Mechanics & Mindset Business Coaching
Business owners are faced with mindset and mechanics challenges on a daily basis.
Business coaching gives you an objective perspective of chronic challenges that you're facing in in your business. It could be pricing, employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, investment capital, growth strategies, work/life balance, or a myriad of other business challenges. The key to your success is getting out of the thoughts and emotions of your daily stress.
That's exactly what I do. I meet with you once a week for 1-hour. You bring up whatever topic you want to work on for that week. I ask questions to gain clarity about your topic. I help you see your topic in an objective way. Now that you see the topic for what it is, you can plot out the perfect plan to address your challenge.
Some action plans will be mechanical in nature. You may need to hire a book keeper to get your books in order. You may need to give a valuable employee a retention compensation package.
Some action plans will work on your mindset. Your action may be a gratitude exercise to improve your mindset around what you have instead of focusing on negative events. You may do one of my popular "climbing the ladder" exercises and pick the best thought for your situation.
Each action plan will specifically target the nature of challenge you face and transform it into an opportunity for growth.
When you turn challenges into opportunities, you'll see your business grow, and your demeanor improve. Family, friends, employees and customers will notice the positive change. So will your bank account.
I don't know if you're a good candidate for business coaching. The best way to find out is to sign up for a free Discovery Session. A Discovery Session is an opportunity to share your challenges with me and see how I'd help you turn your problems into opportunities.
Joe Staib
CEO & Owner, Enabled Energy, Inc.
I have known and worked with Jeff for many years. Our paths reconnected several years ago when I asked Jeff to get involved in my company's Advisory Board. As usual, Jeff went above and beyond the call of duty during that engagement. Since that time, Jeff has worked with many of the leaders on my team. We have enjoyed much growth in our thinking, decision making, and overall corporate performance. I can't recommend Jeff enough! You can count on Jeff being thoughtful, thorough, creative, and both strategic and tactical at the same time. Chances are he's been where you are and can help you get to the next step.
Industry Experience
I advise and mentor my clients based on decades of business experience. Unethical business coaches claim to be proficient in any business as if each industry is the same. They're not. I am showing you my level of experience in each business industry I coach.
Energy Service Company
STRONG
My experience is greatest as the owner of an Energy Service Company or ESCo. I understand this industry well and coach CEO's, business development, solution development, engineering, construction, organization and business strategy. Related industries include engineering firms, construction companies, HVAC contractors, lighting contractors and others in the green energy industry.
Service-Based Business
MODERATE
I have a strong understanding of service-based businesses and what it takes for them to succeed. I have successfully coached restauranteurs, insurance agencies, childcare centers, therapists, HVAC contractors, and other service-based business owners. Since I have not directly operated these companies, I do not give industry-specific advice on industry-specific mechanics.
Other Companies
LIGHT
I coach business owners in other industries including small retailers and small manufacturers. I'm great at coaching mindset challenges and simple mechanics for these business owners. I'm limited in how I can advise product-based companies with distribution, supply-chains and manufacturing processes.
Baltazar Peña
Owner, Las Palmeras Mexican Restaurant
Being an entrepreneur has always been my passion. Any extra education or thought process came from personal experience, self help books, cd’s or the internet. Once I decided to get a business coach, I skipped several people and chose Jeff. His background in business and being a Christian made my decision much easier. I have come to know him and found he is a man of great moral character. He understands the business world and the people it takes to run them. I’ve learned a different and better way to approach my challenges in business and in life. Thank you Jeff for teaching me a new way to improve myself and my business.

Anson Thompson
Insurance Ninja, The Thompson Group
I hired Jeff to help me move from a top producing salesperson to the position of sales management. Through his coaching, he showed me a path to success. Since engaging Jeff, I have referred more than ten people to him for his coaching services. If you are thinking about adding a coach, I strongly recommend you reach out to Mr. Schuster. His energy assessment tool is simply amazing and can help you figure out what changes or moves you need to make to create your dream life.
