The program brings not only an incredible wealth of broad-based business experience to building effective executives,, but one of the smartest and most strategic frameworks to ensure success among a variety of executive stakeholders.

- Peter Meyers

I must say that your material is very good. I have purchased some of your competitors' products, but I find that your content is far more advanced.

- Michael Inglis

The IBG Program was an invaluable addition to my toolkit. Rich in content and filled with implementable tools; this capacity builder gave me the immediate confidence to engage in strategic level business discussions, provide meaningful insights and offer operational level solutions. There is no equal. Enroll, complete the program and you will not be disappointed!

- T.M. Dickens

Before signing up, I had high expectations for the coaching portion of the program but suspected that I would glean little in terms of business. I could not have been more mistaken. The CASTLE model you developed provides the framework I had hoped to learn when I earned my MBA and one which I desperately sought for both my management consulting practice and when teaching graduate business courses.... both a rock solid program and an individually empowering experience.

Dear Professional,

In the next ten minutes you will learn why the Institute for Business Growth is your best path to succeed as a coach and advisor to business owners. I appreciate your taking the time to read the information that follows, which tells you why business coaching is a growing business, what sets our program apart, pricing, what you receive, and how to get started.

Within a month of taking your program I formed an alliance with a major organization to bring business coaching to their members, and my practice has soared from there!

- Wayne Morris, Eventus Coaching

My experience has been great. I only wish I had known about you sooner. I have recommended this program to several of my colleagues and will continue to do so. Thanks Andrew, you are a wonderful Coach!

- Linda F. Branch

Your approach immediately landed me a $50,000 coaching engagement, and the referrals keep coming.

Why Are Business Coaches Thriving?

Business coaching continues to be a growth industry, and savvy coaches are enjoying flexible hours, fulfilling work, and high six-figure incomes. That's because business owners around the world need a trusted advisor to help them with pressing issues, including how to:

  • Quickly develop business and management skills that no one ever taught them before;
  • Create a highly profitable business model, one that consistently increases revenues, profits, and cash flow;
  • Develop a dominant strategy that sets the business apart from bigger, smaller, and faster competitors;
  • Attract top talent employees fully engaged, productive, and loyal;
  • Prepare the business for sale at top dollar;
  • Turn the business into a marketing machine that attracts, delights, and keeps customers – and generates ongoing referrals;
  • Stop being a slave to the business, spend more time as CEO instead of chief firefighter, and get their personal lives back;
  • Avoid burn out; and
  • Reignite their passion for the business, and enjoy the same energy and enthusiasm they had when they first bought or started it.

They also want to have someone to talk to. It really is lonely at the top, and many business owners pay top dollar just for a trusted advisor in whom they can confide and bounce ideas around.

The fact is that you can make a great income as a business coach and advisor, as long as you know the right solutions to offer, how to attract clients, how to keep clients for a long time, and how to create other programs and solutions that bring you a stream of income. That’s where we come in.

A huge shift: I used to have clients pay me $200 per hour and get just $10,000 per client; now I earn $50,000 to $100,000 over the same time period from each client.

I must say that your material is very good. I have purchased some of your competitors' products, but I find that your content is far more advanced.

Secret Number One: Be More Than Just a Coach!

One reason why our members do well is that we show them how to do circles around traditional business coaches. You see, most business coaches think too narrowly about what they do and the value they can bring to clients.

We show you how to make an incredibly powerful shift in your thinking about your role as a professional and about the value you provide. Once you make this shift, you can become the go-to professional in your market and your income potential becomes almost unlimited. You also set yourself apart from most other business coaches in the market. That’s why our members become trusted advisors who earn revenues from a number of services:

  • Traditional Business Coaching: One-on-one or group sessions that focus on showing business leaders how to grow their businesses, create a dominant strategy, improve performance and be more effective regardless of the economy.
  • Specialized Consulting Solutions: Pinpoint revenue, productivity, and profit bottlenecks and make rapid improvements.
  • Group Training Programs: Show business leaders how to improve bottom line performance while focusing on specific solutions for common client problems and to help business owners get reconnected with a passion for running their business.
  • Moderated Leadership Circles: Brings business leaders together to share their successes and challenges in a noncompetitive and confidential setting.
  • Proprietary information products: Focusing on specific off-the-shelf solutions for common client problems.
  • Strategic retreats: Facilitate retreats with executive teams to help them set strategic direction, make tough decisions, and get aligned about where the business is going..

This “service diversity” gives the flexibility and nimbleness required to quickly adapt to changing market demands. Even now the Institute for Business Growth is training business coaches to recognize emerging opportunities created by turnarounds, mergers, succession planning, new technologies, social media, and new business and marketing systems. Adapt or die is the mantra and our members have the tools to prosper.

Can Anyone Be Successful as a Business Advisor and Coach?

After reviewing the professional backgrounds of our members, I would have to say “Yes, if.... ” Our coaches have business experience, high integrity, a passion for helping business owners succeed, a professional attitude, and the commitment to do the work required for success.

But there is a catch. While just about anyone can create the rapport needed to coach, success requires that the business advisor/coach has a proven methodology that is rooted in business and its best practices, as well as a solid business development action plan.

This is especially true for business coaches and advisors who want to work with dynamic companies, the ones with the potential to grow and be worth something when and if the owner wants to sell.

The best business coaches have a “system” that delivers consistently good results almost immediately. In today’s brutal, hypercompetitive, marketplace, a consistent and methodical approach is absolutely critical.

Recognizing this key to success, I developed a proprietary business growth methodology with the acronym “C.A.S.T.L.E.”

Certified Trainers with the IBG use the C.A.S.T.L.E system (click this link to see what the acronym C.A.S.T.L.E stands for) to:

  • Immediately assess a business to know where to focus attention for rapid improvements.
  • Identify 228 ways for businesses to explode their revenues and profits.
  • Empower clients to achieve their most ambitious aspirations for their business.
  • Educate clients in how to teach all employees to work together as a team and achieve aggressive revenue and profit goals.
  • Teach clients to put themselves in a position to dominate their market and attract new customers.
  • Educate business owners on how to save time while getting better results and feeling more satisfied.
  • Empower business owners to build a company that runs smoothly even in their immediate absence.
  • Prepare the business for sale, or for succession to family or up-and-coming leaders.
You consistently demonstrate a superior knowledge and understanding of B2B consulting, executive coaching, marketing, sales, and customer service. Your vast experience, ideas, integrity, and talent have been vital as we take our business to new horizons.

- Dick Powell

The Institute for Business Growth Advantage

The emphasis of our Certified Business Coach training and credentialing program is simple: Get great clients, get great results, and build a successful practice.

Following are the ways that we help you do that, as well as why we stand out:

  • A proven coaching methodology. One of the main reasons an executive hires a coach is because the coach has a proven, proprietary methodology that gets results and addresses their most pressing issues. Unfortunately, most coaches don't have a proprietary methodology, or even know what one is. They just ask open ended questions in the hopes that the client has some sort of sudden insight. At the Institute for Business Growth, we give you a powerful methodology that is an efficient path to results with clients. We also show you how to create your own coaching methodologies, so that you continue to stand apart with your own branding.

  • A no-fluff focus on results. If you aren't getting specific, ambitious results with your clients, you aren't going to last long in this business. Our program has no fluff. We give you ways to assess your client and the situation, understand gaps between where the client is and wants to go, and develop a clear path to getting results -- results worth five to ten times your fees. At the same time, we practice what we call "nowhere to hide coaching," so that your clients are willing to look in the mirror and face the real issues.

  • Content with impact. Our content is rich and deep. It focuses on the key issues that executives face. We know what business owners expect, and we know that other programs fall short.

  • A practical process. If you want academic theory, join a ridiculously- priced program at a local college or university. Then come back to us to fill in the gaps. Our process shows you how to get real results with demanding executive-level clients, as well as a practical system to attract clients and build a successful practice.

  • Helping you to become an established expert and thought leader. To succeed as a coach, you should think of yourself as more than a coach. You are a thought leader, an expert, and a trusted advisor. Once you have this perspective, huge opportunities become available to you. You can build a firm that is worth something, and that you can sell. You can write books, speak, develop seminars, and become a sought-after expert in the market. You can also offer multiple services to your clients, depending on your interests and talents, and including consulting, training, and facilitation. Of course, you can focus on offering one-on-one coaching, but with this new perspective, you can become the go-to professional and open up all sorts of new possibilities. There is an art to making this happen, along with a few key skills and strategies. We show you how.

  • Tools for You to Use with Your Clients. This is not a fuzzy or theoretical program. You get practical, hard-hitting tools to use with your clients, including hundreds of worksheets filled with insights and powerful questions for clients to consider. You can even adapt and re-brand these tools with your name and firm, so long as you give us a footnote. This benefit saves you the trouble of having to reinvent the wheel and lets you get started immediately as a business coach/advisor.

  • Flexible for the busy professional. Our members are often busy professionals, and some are working full time while preparing to make a change. That's why we set our program up so that you can learn in the way that works best for you. It starts with an orientation call to declare your goals and develop the best approach for you, along with a Quick Start Guide. Then you choose from a variety of ways to learn the materials, depending on your schedule and preferences. Listen to weekly live telecalls. Log into our member database to listen to all of our past telecalls. Have one-on-one practice coaching sessions directly with the Founder and Director or the program. You can also practice with other members, or with your colleagues; if you record these sessions, we are delighted to review them for you. In addition, you get printed manuals that contain all of the tools and methodologies. Finally, we offer live seminars for those who want an intensive, rapid path to Certification.

  • Approved by the right organizations. We are approved by both the International Coach Federation, and NASBA.

  • Phenomenal business development system to attract clients, build your practice, and develop your own valuable brand. For the solo coaching professional or firm owner, you won't find a better place to get the support you need to attract clients and build your practice. You get three marketing manuals, and valuable guidance about the best way to set your practice apart, get clients, and build a firm. We are also delighted to review your marketing plans and messages; members rave about our ability to make their marketing strategies and materials much more effective. Approximately 75 percent of members report that they get at least one new client within 3 months of joining the program, which pays back their investment immediately.

  • Highly personal support throughout. This is a small, exclusive program. All tele-classes are taught directly by me, the Founder and Director of the program. You can email me any time to set up a meeting to talk about your marketing, client situations, or practice coaching conversations. I pledge to get back to your requests within one business day, and members report that my personal commitment to their success is one of the most remarkable parts of this program. We also match you up with other members on request, so that you can form alliances and get support from them, too.

What You Need to Succeed as a Business Coach and Advisor

Before you hang your shingle you should know that starting a Business Coaching and Advisory practice from scratch can be difficult…particularly if you want to coach “real” businesses and not the Main Street mom and pop hair salons that other coach training programs teach you how to coach. The good news is that the Institute for Business Growth has created a powerful Business Coaching Certification Program that gives you an advantage.

The comprehensive Business Coaching Certification package offered by IBG includes:

30-Minute Personal Orientation Call

After you register, you receive the entire library of IBG resources (listed below) in the mail. As soon as you receive them, we'll set up a private call where you have the chance to ask questions, discuss your program objectives, and clarify your goals. You can schedule this call immediately on receipt of the materials, or take as much time as you wish to review the materials first. It is up to you, and there is no time limit to set up your orientation call or, for that matter, to complete the program.

book1 The Institute for Business Growth's Proprietary Business Coaching Training Manual

Your manual is packed with the most effective and in-demand business coaching methodologies and solutions, including a business plan to attract clients fast. It takes you step-by-step through the C.A.S.T.L.E. System and how to apply it to clients. It shows you different methods to advise and/or coach clients, and how to offer different programs and services. It also shows you how to assess clients so that you know where to focus and what solutions to offer them. Finally, it gives you guidance about special situations, like succession planning, strategic planning, mergers, and turnarounds. The bottom line: You get proven methodologies and tools to coach and train clients , as well as ongoing support to ensure successful delivery of learned concepts.

Professional Client Engagement Spreadsheets

IBG Certified trainers utilize these spreadsheets to guide client coaching sessions and keep each session focused on results. Unlike other programs, we are not afraid to go deep into the numbers. Numbers are the language of business. However, what we have done is identify the key numbers that drive sales, profits, and cash flow. We show you how to help your clients focus on the numbers that really matter, that get the most impact – and systematically and habitually improve them. That’s how you get and keep clients for life! You receive seventeen business calculators to assist business owners accurately review and evaluate their business. These calculators include a profit model, cash flow model, revenue model, receivables aging, financial ratios, time management, lease v. buy and more.

Weekly Tele-classes

Special Bonus Tele-Calls: Succeeding as an Expert and Firm Builder

Your program includes additional tele-calls that guide you through the process of building a firm. It is fine if you want to be a solo coach, because you can make a fantastic living coaching clients on a for-fee basis. However, if you want to build a firm that generates long-term wealth for you, you need to create leverage in your practice. You have to know how to do some or all of the following: market information products, write and publish a book quickly, lead seminars, form powerful alliances with complementary professionals, create subscription programs for your clients, learn to license your content, and become a sought-after speaker. These bonus calls show you how to do these things, and I will also work with you personally to help you develop your firm building strategy and road map. If you have aspirations of developing a firm and being the go-to expert in your market -- and reaping the rewards of streams of income and higher fees -- then you will find these calls to be a highlight of your career.

A Personal, Robust, 5th Generation Assessment Tool and Executive Session – a $750 Value

Your program gives you a number of ways to assess your clients, so that you both know exactly what the gaps are and how to address them. In addition, you get to take one of the leading assessment tools out there, the ProfileXT, along with a FREE executive session to review your profile. The ProfileXT has been validated worldwide as a tool to understand executives and business owners and help them get better. It is much deeper and more insightful than the typical four-square assessment tool. We also discuss over a dozen over assessment tools, so that you can choose for yourself which one(s) are best for your coaching practice.

Unlimited Email Support

You have email access to me for as long as you need it. Even if you finish the program in three months, for example, you can still contact me via email anytime. I will respond personally, usually within one business day.

20 One-On-One Mock Coaching Sessions to Refine Your Coaching Skills

Practice is the key to becoming a successful Business Coach. For this reason, you receive up to 20 one-on-one, totally personal, practice sessions....or more until you are comfortable with key coaching scenarios. You can work directly with me, we can pair you up with a fellow member, or email us recorded coaching sessions with a colleague or client for detailed feedback according to our in-depth review criteria. It is up to you. Note that these sessions are IN ADDITION to the group practice sessions on our weekly calls, and are completely personalized for you and your needs.

And don't worry if you need more than 20 sessions. Remember....IBG is a highly personalized program, not a "union" shop. We have members call us all the time for advice and support, and are happy to provide it. For instance, if you have a client situation and want to bounce ideas around with me, I will do my absolute best to accommodate you on short notice. In other words, once you are a member, you are a member for life and I am here to support you.

(NOTE: To get Certified with us, you only need 6 reviewed coaching sessions, either recorded with a colleague/client, or directly with us. However, take comfort in knowing that you get as much practice as you desire, with no time limit; this is something else that sets our program apart.)

Thanks for delivering what your marketing materials promise and exceeding my expectations ten-fold.

- Deborah Wear-Finkle

This program fits my needs perfectly. If I had to choose again, I'd choose it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it.

Why an IBG Business Coach Certification is a Great Investment

Let’s do the numbers. Smart coaches spend only two to three days working with clients, and the rest of the time marketing and creating new programs and products. That way, you set yourself up to build a firm and not constantly be trading our time for dollars. Assume you can work with six clients per day, and charge between $1,000 and $3,000 per client per month. Do the math, and you can see what’s possible. And that is before you lead strategic retreats (for $20,000 to $50,000 per engagement, depending on the size of the client), train executive teams, lead group coaching programs, and sell information programs in your market.

Meanwhile, you can pay a franchise $25,000 up to $350,000. You can license a best-selling business guru’s program for $10,000 and up. You can get sucked in to a competitor that spends tons of money on an in-depth marketing and sales process to recruit members, and pay $10,000 – without learning the numbers and real levers that drive business success.

Or you can join the Institute for Business Growth. We are a small program that gives you all of the tools described above, along with highly personal support. We don’t invest in a huge sales infrastructure, and so you pay a lot less.

For a limited time, we will offer you the Complete Certified Business Coach Program for just $4,950, payable in 10 convenient monthly installments of $495. Again, if you have done some research on other programs, you'll know that this price is extremely competitive. Also, I understand that you may have an “entrepreneurial budget” right now and that the credit crunch continues; which is why we offer such a convenient payment plan.

There are no hidden fees, monthly dues, royalty payment or licensing fees.

Best of all, a single client pays back your investment, and more.

Warning: Unlike the directors of some other programs, I intend to be completely open and up front with you. I can show you the most effective ways to get clients and how to get results for them, and the numbers above speak to the potential of this profession. However, coaching, consulting, and similar fields are competitive and take effort and commitment for you to succeed. I can show you the way, and this training program can help you get into this satisfying and rewarding field, but I can't guarantee your success or run your practice for you. Please don't sign up and take this training/certification program if you are not willing to make a commitment and do the work, or if you are looking for a guaranteed path to rapid wealth. Ultimately success is up to you and your hard work, as is the case in any worthy endeavor in life.

I highly recommend this program to those aspiring to be business and executive coaches and consultants.

Guru Millionare Within the 173 pages of Guru Millionaire, you can unlock a passive revenue stream. This is a thorough step-by-step method to create revenue that is not dependent on your time. In other words, you'll be free to pursue other activities while earning this income. I won't sugarcoat it, there's initial work to be done but you can accomplish this bit by bit as you concentrate on your new executive coaching business.

At a certain point, your efforts will reach a critical mass and you will see this hands-off income stream start to flow into your bank account. No, it's not a ‘get rich quick' scheme where you sit back and do nothing. But if you're prepared to do some initial work to start the ‘passive income' ball rolling, you'll find overwhelming value in Guru Millionaire.

To my delight, Guru Millionaire has become a growing subject of interest from inquiries into this program. It's no wonder, given that it enables you to create a revenue stream based on knowledge you already have.

If you enroll in the IBG program today, I'll send it out to right away with all the other materials.
