Business Coach

Emotions are a critical determinant of successful business acquisitions.

Therefore, we encourage you to establish contact.
Therefore, we encourage you to establish contact.
 

An experienced business acquisition advisor is indispensable.

Coaching harmonizes emotional considerations, business imperatives, and favorable transaction outcomes. A business acquisition is typically not a routine occurrence. At any given moment, you face three strategic choices for your enterprise:

  1. Consolidating operations and maintaining the current operational level.
  2. Pursuing growth (including acquisitions).
  3. Divesting the enterprise.

These are not purely commercial decisions made in isolation. You must consider your ecosystem (partner, family, business associate, financiers). Furthermore, whether acknowledged or not, emotions play a decisive role, encompassing your aspirations, dreams, and expectations.

You likely already have a competent accountant and a skilled legal advisor, but what you primarily require is an experienced merger and acquisition advisor.

“Eelco Smit is a professional coach who possesses the rare combination of profound business experience coupled with acute emotional insight.”

– Richte Lommert, Entrepreneur and author of the successful book 'Alles over Verkopen'

I look forward to our meeting.

Who is Eelco?

Business Acquisition Advisor

My core impetus is to empower individuals to fulfill their inherent potential, thereby enabling you to execute your essential responsibilities. This commitment has been intrinsic to my professional ethos for as long as I can recall, stemming from my own extensive experiences navigating both significant triumphs and profound challenges, across personal and professional spheres.

Over 20 years ago, I commenced my career in due diligence at Deloitte, subsequently serving as a Business Acquisition Advisor at KPMG Corporate Finance. Since 2000, I have operated as an independent entrepreneur: following a detour as a commodity broker in London and a period in Mexico, I have been a professional Business Coach since 2004, dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs and executives to maximize their potential.

For entrepreneurs and executives, the demarcation between professional and personal life is often indistinct. As an entrepreneur, husband, and father, I possess firsthand understanding of this dynamic. Consequently, I offer a platform for discourse on both business challenges and pertinent personal affairs. This integrated approach reflects my intrinsic identity: serving as a sounding board, a strategic advisor, and a trusted confidant, all in one capacity.

Through over a thousand engagements, I have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives, enabling them to achieve the results you likely aspire to.

Beyond my role as a Business Coach, I have been guiding entrepreneurs for over 20 years as a Mergers & Acquisitions advisor in the divestiture of their companies.

I am a certified NLP Practitioner and a member of both the Dutch Association of Professional Coaches (NOBCO) and the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Methodology: Insight Action Harvest ©

My approach is consistently personalized and bespoke, eschewing standardized step-by-step plans or rigid methodologies. The caliber of communication with oneself and with others dictates the extent of success and contentment in one's life, as no individual exists in isolation. Consequently, my approach is characterized by depth and an integrated perspective on life and business operations, free from superficial tactics or abstract theorizing.

The solution for you is straightforward, yet far from facile: to cultivate a genuinely more conscious life by establishing clear, meaningful objectives and making authentic choices.

In a concise video interview with Peter Gielissen, I provide further elucidation on my methodology Insight Action Harvest ©.

Burying your head in the sand and continuing to toil in isolation.

1. You are not operating within your natural flow
You feel stagnant and are not fully realizing your potential, despite a strong desire to live authentically and in alignment with your core values.

2. You are isolated and caught in a cycle of stagnation
You are surrounded by sycophants. You lack a strategic sparring partner who understands your specific context, provides objective reflection, and facilitates decisive decision-making.

3. You are experiencing disequilibrium
You lack strategic focus, suffer from sleep deprivation, and often feel restless, despite recognizing that personal well-being and professional success are intrinsically linked.

Awaken Each Morning to Pursue Your Passions

My commitment is to empower you to cultivate a more fulfilling, purposeful, and successful life. Should this objective not be met, the entirety of the coaching session will be complimentary. This is my unwavering pledge.
