Most small to medium business owners and managers have learnt the ropes and earned their stripes doing what they are good at  “getting the job done”.
They spend almost all of their time and energy working in the business. That’s understandable – there is often no-one else with the passion and the expertise to help.

Managing a successful business requires not only a different set of skills but requires time and energy spent working on the business.

This is where a business mentor can help. Another set of eyes and ears can often identify potential opportunities and threats. Just having someone to talk to, can often make a big difference and relieve some of those pressures and help us deal with the stress that accumulates.

Pat Donnelly is a business mentor. His business background is diverse. He is an experienced General Manager, successful Sales Manager and a qualified Chartered Accountant. He has worked in both the public and private sectors and lectured at university in Marketing and Communications.

But experience and expertise alone does not make you a good coach. Pat has been described as “down to earth”, practical and easy to relate to.
He understands the challenges of trying to keep the balance between work and family, of the loneliness “at the top” and the inability to be everywhere at the same time.

He can help you to:

• Produce a simple usable Business Plan
• Get on top of your financials and the numbers that you need to know.
• Manage your people to get the most out of them
• Do a marketing plan that generates the income you need to survive.
• Get your productivity up and costs under control
• Develop a succession or exit plan.
• Manage your time and stress levels

A mentor can often make the difference between success and failure
