Welcome Business Owners
Congratulations! You have just taken a monumental step toward success. You should be commended for consistently trying to improve your business as well as yourself.
Most entrepreneurs won’t admit they could use a little business help. Business coaching is not for everyone. Taking advice from a business advisor is also low on many entrepreneurs’ wish lists.
Just like entrepreneurs, all business coaches are not created equal. I have a successful small business coaching practice in Phoenix, Arizona. I’m blessed to work one-on-one with some of the most passionate people in a fascinating variety of industries. Thanks to social media and wonderful technology, I’m also able to work with entrepreneurs across the country.
So my first coaching tip is (I just can’t help myself!) do your homework. Don’t settle for the first business coach you meet. Take the time to do your due diligence. Make sure you are compatible with your coach. Ask for testimonials. Ask yourself some simple questions: Is it affordable? Is this coach approachable? Has my coach walked in my shoes or is he a dry, inexperienced textbook coach? Do I believe working with this coach can double or triple my business? Am I ready to commit to changing my business?
I’m confident you’ll find that I’m a good fit for you and your business. So if you’re a bit interested about my coaching program, reach out to me and find out. The best thing that can happen is that you found the perfect coach. The worst thing that can happen is that we both made a new friend.
Testimonials:
“Larry is a salt of the earth person. He is truly concerned with the success of his client’s businesses.

He is a great person to have on your team.” - Gregory Poulos (Small Business Attorney and Business Law Advisor at The Poulos Law Firm, P.L.L.C. )
“Hi Larry, Thank you very much for meeting with me yesterday! You gave me a lot of interesting and valuable pointers. I knew my discrepancies myself but your graph pointed it out (and so did you!) that I cannot ignore it any longer. See your powers are working! Please keep my weaknesses confidential, I know you will. I will mention you and your great abilities to everyone I know. Thank you so much!” – (Name Withheld)
“Larry brings real world experience and expertise into the business coaching relationship. I appreciate how he is able to take big concepts and break them down into manageable activities that grow your business in both the short and long term. I would highly recommend Larry Vivola to anyone looking to grow their small business.” - Jeremy Wilford
“Larry is a spectacular coach. He has a real genuine knowledge of my business and puts forth great energy to help me reach my goals. Whatever your business is Larry can help guide and get you to the next level. As an entrepreneur I know a good amount of what need to be done but its beneficial to have a coach steer you in the right direction.” - Shantal Chase
“Larry Vivola and his company Inline Business Consulting have been a God send for my business. Although I have only worked with Larry for three short months I can truly say that I am seeing some growth spurts already. I look forward to our meetings each week and my “homework assignments” but most importantly I look forward to the encouragement and confidence that keeps me moving forward and motivated. He really knows his stuff.” - Pamela Balin
“Larry Vivola has the highest integrity, and truly cares about his clients. He is extremely knowledgable about how to help his clients reach their potential. He not only offers up solutions, but makes them feel supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone who is looking to grow their business and see real results.” - Bonnie Moehle
An email referral from one Realtor (client) to another Realtor:
”We talked before about business coaching, and we’ve both done or are doing Buffini which has been good. I also mentioned to you about the new business coach Jeremy and I hired 3 months ago, Larry Vivola who is the owner of Inline Business Advisors. I don’t know about you, but the biggest problem I’ve had in my real estate career has been to run my business “as a business.” Certainly, Buffini and others have preached this to us, but after hiring Larry, who incidentally is not a “real estate” centric business coach, I’m finding it very refreshing and challenging. I’m being held goal/task accountable on a weekly basis – in person. Larry has fresh insight into our industry that has helped us considerably. I’m excited about our direction and I think you could benefit as well. He’s hilarious too – if you can get past his east coast (New Yawk twang).” - Mike Bodeen
“Larry Vivola is a bright, savvy entrepreneur who thrives on helping other entrepreneurs. He thinks small business in a big way. When we learned Larry had left Brooklyn for sunnier climes, we made him an honorary Brooklyn Chamber member for life.” – Mark M. Kessler
“Larry is a disruptive thinker in the best sense possible. He just doesn’t accept status quo. Larry has changed my business, and more importantly, how I view my business. My business now serves me!” – Paul Villella
“Larry showed me how guerilla marketing and self-generated public relations are extremely easy. These efforts have generated thousands and thousands of dollars in additional revenue for my business. – John Addis
“Larry has coached and mentored me, and I have surpassed my goals beyond my wildest dreams. He truly cares about his clients and their successes. He’s like a partner but accepts peanuts for his compensation.” - Tom Edgecumbe
