Toronto Business Coach
So You are a business owner
Or you are about to become one
Entrepreneurship is a profession, an art and a vocation
for people like you
who have the courage, passion and a determination
to carve your own path in the world
And if you are committed to pursuing that life
then I think you deserve
all the information you need to succeed.

in my years as a Toronto business coach and as an entrepreneur.

anyone can succeed
success is not reserved for the uniquely talented
or gifted
for the wealthy or connected or the good looking
Success is available to anyone willing to pay the price.
It is available to you.
Second, all withstanding that, there is a hidden enemy out there
an adversary, to anyone reaching for success.
And Third, most entrepreneurs
do not take the simple steps necessary to slay that enemy.
I call that enemy L.O.K. or The LOK.
the LOK hovers in the background
He lures you into making bad decisions
He entices you to believe that all is well
When in fact it is not
and when you do notice him
he convinces you that he is no problem for you at all
Here is the sad truth
almost sixty percent of businesses that start
will not be here five years from now
and seventy percent will be gone within ten years
and those that remain only thirty percent will show a profit
That is pretty daunting information
