Meet Karin & Marlize

“We struggled with how to sell ourselves as a service only business and I want to tell anyone that also has a service based business that ActionCOACH can help you so much in growing your business.” - Marlize & Karin

Where it began

The business was started by Deon and Karin Visser in 2008 when our oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. We didn’t want to follow the medical route, because we believed that he required skills that medicine would not give him.

Deon is a professor in Chemistry and started doing research on what is out there that is backed by Science that would help our son. The program we used made a big difference and coming from a family of business owners, we saw a big opportunity to bring this program to more families in SA. A lot of children get labeled so fast and all skills that the brain need to function well can be taught.

Getting an ActionCOACH

We met ActionCOACH Diederick at a social media event and we knew that ActionCOACH was for us. We embraced the principles of the ActionCOACH brand and we immediately realised what we lacked. If you want to be really coached by someone you need to be teachable, trainable, and changeable. We had no turning back with him. He helped us to believe that we can be bigger and better. Then Marie Louise came into the picture and she carried on working with our agency owners.

Business Milestones

Three of our biggest milestones was having a SYSTEM that runs on AUTOPILOT, it was blood and tears to get there but it was so worth it ( timesaving). The second one was because of our SYSTEMS we could grow internationally and are currently expanding in Canada, Africa, and the USA. Thirdly winning the Female entrepreneur Award at BEFA ( i am not sure, it think it was in 2017).

Personal Moments

ActionCOACH had a major impact not only in business but also personally. As I said, the core values are exactly what we live by and we teach our children that as well. We can afford to go on yearly overseas holidays (prior to covid) and just did our first one in June again. But we have the freedom to run a business and we are not bound by location.

Where to next

ActionCOACH is part of the Biolink brand, we teach all our new agencies these principles and they run their business on the systems we put in place. We want to build the brand even bigger in SA, but having an international business gives us the freedom to earn $$$ and we do not have to put in any other effort than just supporting and growing what we have.

We have created a residual income through our marketing plan and the business will be our childrens when we are not around.

Having ADHD ourselves, we will never stop expanding, growing, and learning more. There is so many opportunities out there and if you know how to properly start and run a business, we can do anything. We will see where our paths will lead is.

Won’t this just mean more work?2024-05-06T13:17:52+02:00

Once you know the ActionCOACH definition of a business, you will never ask this question again. Our goal is to help you build a Profitable, Commercial Enterprise That Works, Without You.

The last two words are the most important because, in the end, our goal is to have you no longer working IN the business, but, instead, working ON it. That means more time to spend doing what you want to do while the business serves you, instead of the other way around.

Of course, when you set the plan with your ActionCOACH, it may seem a bit overwhelming, but no one ever said attaining your goals would be easy.

And, yes, in the first few months, it will take some work to adjust to your new plans… but the further you work into the program, the less work you’ll actually have to do. And at the same time, your company will be more productive.

Simply put, you’ll be working much smarter. You will be amazed at how focused you’ll be and how much you’ll get done. With focus, an ActionCOACH, and most importantly the ActionCOACH systems, you’ll be achieving a whole lot more with the same or even less work and effort.

When is the best time to get started?2024-05-06T13:56:54+02:00

Right now! Before you take another step, waste any more money, lose another sale, work too many more hours, miss another family event, or forget another special occasion, you need to call ActionCOACH today. Far too many business people wait and see and are mistaken in thinking that working harder will make everything better. Remember, what you know has got you where you are today. To get where you want to go, you’ve got to make some changes and most likely, you’ll have to learn something new. There’s no time like the present to get started on your dreams and goals.

What is one-on-one coaching?2024-05-06T13:15:04+02:00

We offer many different coaching programs, all designed to help your business grow revenue and profits and while you can always start with a group coaching program, nothing gives you the results that one-on-one coaching does.

One-on-one coaching is the only program in which your ActionCOACH will work with you one-on-one for at least 12-months to make all of your goals a reality. There isn’t an area of your business that one-on-one coaching doesn’t touch.

From weekly coaching calls and goal setting sessions to working with you on your new marketing pieces, you will develop new sales strategies and business systems so you can work less and learn all you need to know to make your dreams come true.

Your monthly investment in one-on-one coaching ensures your ActionCOACH will dedicate a minimum of five hours a month to work with you on your sales, marketing, team building, business development and every element of the Action Plan you created during your Alignment Consultation.

We understand that every business is at different levels in their business and that’s why we’ve also developed multiple Group Coaching programs to fit the needs of every level.

Unlike a consultant, your personal ActionCOACH will do more than just show you what to do; he or she will be with you when you need them most as each idea takes shape, as each campaign is put into place, as you need the little pointers to make things happen. Your ActionCOACH will also be there when you need someone to talk to, when you’re faced with challenges or, most importantly, when you’re just not sure what to do next.

Your ActionCOACH will be there every step of the way.
