Speaker: Richard Brooks, Clinic Owner, The Tanshire Clinic
Why were you looking for a business coach in the first place?
Richard Brooks: Hi. My name is Richard Brooks, the owner of the TANSER Clinic in Elstead, Surrey. Uh, the clinic had been going for 10 years, and I realised that we wanted to take it up to the next level. So having met Chris Barrow many, many years ago, I just knew he would be the right person to not only help me, but also help my team to improve and grow the business I was.
What would you describe as the main benefits of membership of The Extreme Business 100 community?
Richard Brooks: the main benefits of the extreme business community are that you can actually be yourself and share your problems, but also you can learn from other people at the same time. It's a very open community, and Chris liaises and make sure that we're all heading in the right direction.
What difference has working with Chris Barrow made?
Richard Brooks: Chris has made a huge difference to the growth of the tax clinic over the last two years since we've been a member, because he makes you think about every aspect of the business, whether it be the patient experience, the financials, the management of staff and also the future. So you're always thinking about the next step, and he doesn't let you sit on your laws.
What advice would you give to anyone watching this video and considering hiring Chris and joining his community?
Richard Brooks: the advice I'd give to anyone who has the misfortune to, uh, watch me blathering on is to get off your backside, give Chris a call and see what he can do from you. I know you won't be disappointed, and you can only grow and benefit from experience.
