How to make your small business more profitable
Posted by Chris Edwards in Life7 News on March 20, 2009
If you own or manage a small business in Canberra or the Central West of NSW, read on because this could be just the answer you’ve been looking for:
We have lowered the cost of making more profit
One question we are asked more than any other is ‘how can I make my small business more profitable?’ (Not necessarily in those words!)
Two of the biggest barriers most small business owners face are:
- Finding and keeping the good staff, and
- Finding and retaining more customers
Life7 is all about coaching business owners on overcoming exactly these challenges, but the problem for the struggling small business owner often comes down to money.
So we put our minds to ways of solved the money riddle – and the answer we came up with is really quite simple… group coaching.
We have introduced a series of small group workshops that will run once a month in Canberra and Orange.
The benefits for business owners are worth many thousands, but the cost is extremely small.
The first in a series of twelve workshops for small business in Canberra starts on April 1st 2009 and the Orange series will start on May 7th 2009.
The first three-hour workshop is titled ‘Advertising on a Shoestring’. Book now for the special introductory price of only $49.50 at Ultimate Business Development Program Canberra or the Ultimate Business Development Program Orange and simply fill in the attendance form.
You can pay at the door on the night.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Reaching Your Dreams

Our new seminar room is put to use in our first workshop of 2009, ‘Reaching Your Dreams’ presented by Relationship Coach Janine Linklater.
Our new Seminar Room is put to use
This workshop was a trial run before the launch of our ‘Leap into Life’ personal development workshop series, which commences on March 26, 2009.
The first night felt like a success with some very encouraging comments about Janine’s presentation style and some very thoughtful suggestions on improvements for the room (which we will get stuck into before the next session tomorrow).
Our new seminar room has been specifically set up for small group personal development workshops.
The room has full kitchen and bathroom facilities as well as a large adjacent bedroom that can be used by our interstate clients when they come for personal and small business intensives.
New services for 2009
Posted by Chris Edwards in Life7 News on January 10, 2009
We have a lot of exciting changes in store for 2009.
We started by re-writing our mission statement; which is:
To improve the lives and attitudes of all whom we contact by empowering business owners and managers around the world with best practice staff and customer retention strategies.
Two of the first things existing clients will notice is that we have a new web site and our tag line on the logo has changed to ‘Performance Coaching’. This reflects the change in our mission statement and changes to the coaching services that have come from this clearer focus.
We will no longer provide personal coaching on advertising and promotional strategy, but will instead introduce a new mentoring groups that will serve this purpose for small to medium sized businesses in the Canberra region.*
This will enable us to focus our personal coaching services on staff retention and leadership.
We will also be introducing customer retention coaching on a trial basis, as we believe that many of the techniques we use to improve staff retention could be adapted to improve client retention and therefore profitability and marketing effectiveness.
The big project for us will be our research into leadership project that will commence in February.
We will also introduce a new training workshop on how to recruit the right people for your team and how to assemble and empower an outstanding team.
It is going to be busy year and we wish everyone the very best for 2009.
*Note that existing advertising coaching agreements will not be affected by this change.
