In 2013, as Cassandra Bodington attempted to run her sandwich shop from a hospital bed, she realised things had to change. When she was well enough to get back to business, two goals were set: getting the business to a point where it could operate without her and, when it reached that point, ensuring other business owners didn\u2019t have to go through the same stress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was misdiagnosed with an internal rupture, collapsing one day, and ended up needing eight hours of life-saving surgery. I focused on getting myself fit for work and spent a lot of time putting in foundations to ensure the business wasn\u2019t dependent on me. After 18 months, both me and the business were healthy again, and the time came to sell. I realised that I had to share my story and make sure other business owners wouldn\u2019t face the same kind of ordeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making the moves\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Drawing on her experience in customer service and running her own business, Cassandra thought about what she would do next. She was intrigued by ActionCOACH, after getting a recommendation from her accountant, and began to research further into the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d never heard of ActionCOACH before, but it was exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I was my own boss again, but it was nothing like before \u2013 I\u2019d be able to build up a successful business that wouldn\u2019t fall apart without me and I\u2019d get to help other business owners achieve the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked hard for the first two years, securing a handful of clients. And then in 2017, my daughter was born, flipping my whole world upside down as a single parent. When I was ready to return from maternity leave, I had a serious conversation with myself. If I was going to do this, then I was going to be damn good at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becoming triumphant\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cIt was almost like a switch had been flicked. I received a sudden burst of motivation and set myself an immediate goal of getting 15 clients who connected with me on a personal level, intending to double my monthly client income to \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a single mother, I\u2019m passionate about helping those who are facing the same challenges as I did. I love being a mum, and my daughter provides constant motivation \u2013 she\u2019s my daily reminder of why I love what I do. The support I receive from ActionCOACH to be a mum, whilst building a successful business, is amazing. I knew this was a benefit of a franchise, but I\u2019ve got to be honest and say I didn\u2019t quite expect this level of support. It\u2019s exceeded everything I ever imagined.<\/p>\n

\u201cActionCOACH has given me the flexibility to properly enjoy my downtime, working just three days a week. When I switch off from my business, I feel a sense of great satisfaction around the difference I\u2019ve made in my local community.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you want to build a business with scalability and longevity, make a difference in your local community and you\u2019re the kind of person who:<\/p>\n

A) loves learning and developing yourself;<\/p>\n

B) has enjoyed success in your career or sport; and<\/p>\n

C) is willing to invest if you see substantial rewards can be made\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
