Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching, but not sure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Amit Ambegaonkar, the founder of Your Profound Solutions Inc., located in Toronto, Canada.
Tell us all about your business...
I am a Business Mentor, Certified Success Coach, International Speaker, and Award-winning Author. I help entrepreneurs and business owners create an ever-expanding business, increase profits and develop a success-driven mindset.
What's your background and motivation to grow as a business owner?
I started on this path of business consulting as I realized that entrepreneurs are really good at what they do at their core expertise. However, they have challenges in converting it into a business.
There is a bridge that needs to be there between their expertise and for them to sell their products or services to help a lot of people. I, therefore, decided to help them with that so they can reach and help a lot of people with their products and services. What motivates me is the 'Wins' that my clients create by applying what I teach them and getting the results they truly deserve.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
When I started this business some years ago, my accomplishments were to be an international best-selling author, professional speaker, sharing stages with big-name celebrities, writing books with these celebrities. However, after doing all of these things, I realized that the accomplishments that give me more joy are totally different!
My biggest accomplishment has been the hundreds of success stories that have been created by my clients using the powerful principles that they have learned from me.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being an entrepreneur?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is balancing family life and business. As employees, people have fixed hours and fixed pay generally with some benefits and a pension plan.
On the other hand, as a business owner, you get the excitement of being your boss, deciding your own hours, your product, your service, but it also comes with working hours that could be totally uncertain, as your income depends on that. So, balancing this aspect and having a great family life is a challenge for many business owners.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run or grow a small business today?
The top 3 tips for a business owner today would be:
- Decide that you are going to help your client with their biggest problem.
- Make sure that you communicate value and overdeliver on your promise.
- Love your clients and let them know that you are there if they need you at any time.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
My message is:
You should really know that you are awesome! So make sure that you take time and recognize that every day because you can help someone by realizing how awesome you are, and the people around you are awesome too!
