Entrepreneurs

If you are wearing A LOT of hats, working hard with inadequate satisfaction, struggling with challenging relationships, or wishing for a boost of energy right now – you’re not alone. Entrepreneurs face a bevy of challenges and decisions every day. It can be difficult to take a step back from building the business, and doing the work, to see the bigger picture.

It can be even more difficult figuring out how not to bring those feelings home. How do you get to a place of “work-life balance” when it’s all mixed together?

Diane Overgard has spent thousands of hours helping small business owners and entrepreneurs navigate these tricky waters. The 45 Degrees executive coaching team works closely with clients to help them discover how to:

Vision – Take a big picture view, out of the weeds, to clearly see how great your business life can be.

Focus – Get specific and practical about identifying changes that will give the smooth, efficient operation and satisfaction of your vision.

Routines and Relationships – Develop skills and strategies in alignment with your goals so that your life, both professional and personal, runs the way you want, rather than running you.

Accountability – Entrepreneurs are often “lone rangers” operating without a peer or partner. Your 45 Degrees Coach will be your mirror, sounding board, and accountability partner to be sure you make the changes you want.

Sign up for our “90 Days of Coaching” program to reclaim your verve, and bring that enthusiasm and vitality home with you at the end of the day. Together we’ll determine what you want to be accountable for, then get serious about routines you can control to make every one of your days better and more productive.
