While I know about web marketing with the best of ’em… my true passion is organizational development. Here’s a first draft of a speaker sheet for being a business coach. This is all in the very beginning stages. So don’t hold me to this idea…
Are you tired of business coaches who have never run a business?
Sage Lewis has been running his own business since 1999. Sage started SageRock.com with his wife Rocky in the living room of their 750 square foot home. SageRock has grown an average of 35% per year since the beginning. They have never gotten investors. They have never had one “silver bullet” client that has driven their business.
He and Rocky have built SageRock piece by piece all by will power, optimism and determination.
In the 21st century business world every company has something to learn from a bootstrapping entrepreneur.
The driving principles of Sage’s own business are:
- Visionary Leadership
- Appreciative Leadership
- Your team should come first
- Disaster preparation
- Flattening your organization
- A boring leader is a bad leader
- Business – The American Religion
- Loving your team
- Stop caring so much about your customers. They don’t care about you.
- Values matter
- Your people don’t need you anymore
- Generation Y makes Generation X look like workaholics
