Unlocking the Next Level After 19 Years in Business

After nearly two decades of Evolv Electrical Solutions, Neil knew something wasn’t quite clicking. The business was solid, the work ethic was there but growth felt just out of reach. Despite years of effort, Neil found himself wondering: “Why isn’t this working the way I imagined?”  He was introduced to ActionCOACH NI and with a referral and a money-back guarantee, the timing felt right.

“It was one of those gut-instinct moments. I figured – what do I have to lose?”

Almost immediately after starting coaching with Scott, Neil began seeing real change. The first big win? Getting out of the  overdraft by Christmas, a goal that felt ambitious at the time but quickly became reality. With Scott’s support, Neil shifted his focus from firefighting to planning. Weekly structures replaced scattered efforts. Daily to-do lists aligned with broader goals. Time management improved, and decision-making became more intentional.

“I became more financially aware and far more goal-focused. Coaching gave me structure and my brain thrives with structure.”

The Results

Coaching has touched every area of the business:

  • Financial Clarity: With accurate forecasting and visibility, the team now sets and meets realistic targets – removing the stress of financial guesswork.

  • Team Communication: Weekly team meetings have fostered accountability, alignment, and a more energised culture.

  • Delegation: Neil has begun handing over more responsibilities, freeing himself to lead strategically.

  • Mindset Shift: Perhaps most importantly, Neil no longer feels alone in the journey. Being part of the ActionCOACH NI community has created a sense of shared experience and ongoing motivation.

“I’ve been running this business since 2006, but now – for the first time – I feel confident about where we’re going. That’s a huge shift.”

Looking Ahead

Before coaching, Neil had a five-year plan… that hadn’t moved in fifteen years. It sat in the background, more of a concept than an actual roadmap. Now, that’s changed. With clear quarterly, annual and long-term goals (and the tools to follow through) he’s finally seeing that plan come to life.

“During my Alignment Day with Scott, I said out loud ambitions I’d never voiced before and now I’m taking real steps toward them.”

ActionCOACH NI provided not just accountability, but also trust, structure and momentum – the exact mix Neil needed to unlock the next level of growth.

“Would I recommend it? Absolutely – if you’re serious about growth, structure and becoming a confident leader, this will change your business and your life. But you have to be ready to show up and take action.”
