"Have you built a business... or a job for yourself?"

Retention, Engagement,
and Career Planning

Who would benefit from watching this session

For successful solopreneurs and small business owners who have successfully leveraged their personal brand and monetized their experiences... But as financially viable as you are, have you built a bonafide business... or cobbled together a job for yourself? Which begs the question: what makes a business a business. In this coaching session, we talk about being opportunistic and having a business strategy: Is your business scaleable? Are you replaceable? Can you sell your business? Listen in for more.

Coaching Client Feedback

Hiring a Business Growth Speaker:
10 Good Questions to Ask

"You've said so many things... I'd love to have you here, I'd love to do a retreat with you. You obviously know this space." – Cass Bailey, President, The Bailey Group

“This is all useful and interesting information for us. I love the marketing strategy framework; it will lead to a lot of discussion with our leadership team. This coaching session gave me a lot to think about. Even though we are 16 years into our business, we can continue to evolve and grow, because if we aren’t growing, we are shrinking. I definitely think there is a lot of value here. We come about it through different lenses, and you [Randall] bring the business strategy piece to it. You are more of an advisor, you are a mentor; you have been there. You are asking questions but a lot of it is advice.” – Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett, Author and Speaker, Founder, Canada Career Counselling

“It’s hard to talk to people like you [Randall] because you get so many good ideas, and so many good avenues, and so many ways and directions you can go in. But what I love about what you’ve done is you’ve got me focused on the potentials, and you aren't saying “this is where you gotta go, this is what you gotta do.” Thinking about the potentials, and thinking through them. As soon as you say something, I’m thinking, “oh my goodness, all the time, etc.” but no, it’s just dedicating time to thinking about it. That’s the biggest thing. This has been so amazing for me. Thank you for doing a deep dive into my company and making me think of so many possibilities. I loved when you called yourself the seed planter. I cannot wait to see where these seeds lead, and you will always be a part of that journey for me.” – Sami Jo Small, Motivational Speaker and author, founder and CEO, Sami Jo Small Consulting

"This was spot on. Awesome. I enjoyed the conversation." – LeRoux Lothian, Managing Director, Scale Through Automation
