Entrepreneurs

How are you as entrepreneur balancing innovation, operations, and investments?
What skills complementary to your own do you need in your leadership team to build and grow your company?
What issues keep you awake at night?

Today, the growing pressures of global competition fuel the demand for increasingly effective business leaders. These leaders bear the responsibility for setting the tone and style for the organization, and effecting cultural shifts to meet changing values and expectations. To meet this challenge, leaders themselves must change, and they must be prepared to continue to change.

Business Vitality’s entrepreneurial and executive coaching enables leaders to design and implement a potent plan for the development of their teams and organizations as well as their own leadership capabilities.

The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.

—Peter F. Drucker

Many businesses are started by people who decide they want to focus on something they enjoy doing. While that is a worthwhile and admirable goal, they soon find that owning one’s own business requires spending time on other tasks that may not be as exciting or palatable.

Business Vitality enjoys mentoring and coaching sole proprietors, owners of small businesses, and executive directors of nonprofits to help them get beyond the start-up stage and truly thrive and prosper.

I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.

—Richard Branson

To create and lead an organization that will maintain a competitive advantage during these turbulent times, entrepreneurial executives must look beyond the expertise, product or service that led them to start their companies.
