Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Solopreneurs
- Are you consumed by the day-to-day grind?
- Are you experiencing swings in productivity and performance?
- Are you losing your enthusiasm for your business?
You CAN have a profitable business and experience more joy and freedom!
To thrive as a small business owner is tough
If you’re like most small business owners you:
- Work too hard and too long with no time off
- Worry about performance and profitability
- Wonder what happened to your dream of having a balanced life

How do I know? I did it myself! My name is Ellen van den Berg, I’ve been working with small business owners and independent entrepreneurs for over 25 years: first as a financial planner, and for the past 12 years as a coach, consultant, mentor, teacher and guide helping my clients connect their expertise with what they most value in their life.
As a small business owner myself I certainly can relate to stress, burnout and problems getting the next client – and I also know that it doesn’t have to be this way. Several years ago I realized what the reason was why I and so many of my clients were unable to keep the momentum going without burning out. I now have a system that I’ve been sharing with a few of my own inner circle clients, and now I’m excited to share it with you!
Imagine…
- Having a crystal clear vision of a business that supports the life you want.
- Sustaining momentum that will increase productivity and performance.
- Experiencing more joy and freedom in your business and your life.
- Building a strong and stable business that makes a healthy profit.
Here’s what you need to do:
The 5 Steps to a Thriving and Meaningful Business:
Step 1 – Connect with your Purpose
Here is what knowing your purpose will do for you:
- Live your life intentionally – rather than randomly – by making conscious choices that are consistent with what is most important to you.
- Guide you on a day-to-day basis to make decisions and choices from a very conscious place.
- Be very intentional about building your business that is in alignment with what is most important to you.
- Create more results with less effort, make key decisions quickly and accurately, stay focused and achieve your goals.
Step 2 – Embrace Your Mindset
What is standing in the way of you reaching your goals? Learn to:
- Understand the obstacles, challenges, your thinking, behavior and limited beliefs
- Identify what thoughts and beliefs move you forward and which ones keep you from the results and success you want
- Deal with mindsets that are not productive
- Be willing to unlearn and let go of some ideas you’ve held onto so you can be and bring more of who you truly are to your work
Step 3 – Envision Your Business
Create the big, compelling picture, the foundation and communication tool to share with others what your business is about and will look like at a future date:
This powerful document will become your anchor and beacon in guiding you towards a thriving and meaningful business because it will:
- Serve your purpose and the way you want to live your life.
- Stimulate thinking and communicates passion.
- Describe the What and How of your business.
Step 4 – Know Your Strategies and Values
Once you’re connected to your purpose and vision you will know what strategies and values you need that will guide you and keep you on course.
Here’s how you will benefit knowing your strategies and values
- They are broad initiatives that set the direction and scope of your business.
- They identify the philosophy and methods by which a business is built and managed.
- They set the guidelines and boundaries for arriving at important business decisions, meeting needs of customers, gaining advantage over competitors, exploiting or creating new opportunities etc.
Step 5 – Create Your Game Plan
Transform the results of the previous steps from philosophical statements into the day-to-day realities of your business.
In your Game Plan you will:
- Identify and prioritize your goals for 2012 for each area of your business so you can move towards your vision in a way that optimizes productivity, performance and what’s doable and sane.
