About me
Hi! I’m Stacy Parkelj, your Savvy Business Coach. Congratulations! The fact that you’re visiting my site tells me that you have taken the initiative to find someone to help you move your business forward!
My objective in being your coach is to help you keep your business moving forward, no matter what stage your business is in. I have been a small business owner for over 15 years, having owned several successful small businesses that ranged in revenue from several thousand a year to over half a million a year. I have had businesses that I started from scratch as well as turn-key businesses like direct sales and franchises. Some of my businesses were run just by me, and some had staff. I currently own a franchise that has done over $1.7 M in revenue in the past 5 years and employs 6 staff members along with over 100 contractors.
Here’s the deal, though. Although I’ve always been successful, it hasn’t always resulted in HAPPINESS.
And, that’s the ultimate goal, right?
We work hard to get stuff we want, which we think will result in ultimate BLISS and HAPPINESS. And, more often than not, as was the case with myself, we reach our goals and find we are still not happy. We are stressed, burned out, not satisfied, need more, not good enough…you get the picture.
Here’s my first coaching tip I’ll share with you. Success is not the cause of Happiness. Happiness is the cause of Success.
Chew on that for a second. I know. It’s a lot to digest. You’re thinking, “But how can I be happy if I’m having so much trouble being successful?â€
And, there, my friends, is where I come in to help!
You are not having trouble being successful because you are not capable or unwilling. You just need the right mindset, and it starts with Happiness Training.
I know it sounds silly, but there is a ton of research and scientific proof to back it up. Through your coaching journey with me, you’ll learn to become conscience of who you are, how you act and react, and you will learn how to consciously make decisions that bring joy into your life. This in turn will spill into every crevice of your life, including work. Once we have the mindset going in a positive direction, we’ll get to work on your actual business. And, you will find, because your mindset is in the right place, the business stuff becomes a piece of cake, and dare I say, ENJOYABLE!!
One last thing. Earlier I mentioned that I currently own a franchise with over 100 contractors and 500+ clients. I’m sure you’re wondering how in the world I have any time to coach. The answer is because I have learned how to work ON my business instead of in it! And, that is another thing I will share with you! I will help you identify the things you value the most and teach you how to build your business in alignment with your values so that you can actually have those things!
You may be researching many coaches before you choose the one that’s right for you. Be careful! There is no regulation in our industry and anyone can call themselves a coach; however, only those certified through the International Coach Federation have actually been educated to the highest industry standards of real coach training. It’s important when you are looking for a coach to do your research on their qualifications. Not only do I have the real-world experience, I also have several hundred hours of ICF Professional Coaching Certification training under my belt. With me, you get the experience and the education to back it up!
If you’re at the point where you recognize that what you’re currently doing is not working for your business and/or personal life, and you’re ready and open to a huge life-changing experience, send me an email, or click here to schedule a complimentary 30 minute discovery call so that we can see if we are good fit for each other.
Coaching with me
RESULTS & GOALS
My coaching starts off with me getting an understanding what specific results you'd like to see from coaching, and it is then customized to fit your needs. Here are just a few of the results can expect from coaching with me:
It will help you learn to create more vantage points from which to view your business, thus opening up more opportunities for business growth.
It will teach you how to lead your organization in a way that creates a long-term positive culture in your business.
It will enable you to start attracting the kind of clients with whom you’d like to work.
It will instill confidence in your ability to deal with conflict management, crises in your business, and other stressful situations that arise.
It will help you create a balanced work and home life as you learn to create time management and productivity systems that actually work.
HOW I LIKE TO COACH
I like to start off with some assessments to really dig down deep into who you are and how you operate. I then like to guide my clients into self-discovery, learning to be conscious of their thoughts, emotions and actions, and how they affect their decisions. Starting off the coaching in this way, allows us to really pinpoint the issues we need to work on to have growth in the areas the client is seeking. Our coaching sessions from that point forward are very focused on growth, productivity, improvement and happiness.
