From his childhood forward, Chris Styles never thought small. Raised as an only child in an entrepreneurial family, Chris was expected to “perform all the time at everything,” and perform he did, excelling in studies and activities. His youthful years were certainly responsible for instilling great discipline, persistence and work ethic in Chris, which saw him through precarious moments, weeks and even months. At one point in 1999, Chris remembers emerging from more than 50 job interviews having been told that his degrees in applied ecology made him “unemployable in the corporate world.” Chris persisted, not only garnering employment in this “untouchable” world, but 8 years later, being appointed General Manager to one of South Africa’s top retail banks. Through his many successful years in banking and finance, Chris continually sought out business mentors and business coaches, understanding that the experience and expertise of others who had gone before him would help him make substantial, quick gains in his own management and business growth style. When he chose the entrepreneurial path, Chris chose to be a Business Coach with a specific focus on helping first-time entrepreneurs and small business owners. Since his embarking on Business Coaching and Consulting, Chris Styles has become widely recognized throughout Africa as “THE Business Coach” who can guide entrepreneurs on the right path and quickly correct small and medium size business issues for much greater ease and profitability. Chris Styles stands out as a unique Business Coach because he discovered along the way that it’s not JUST about Making Decisions, Dreaming Big and Starting Small, or Being Persistent. Although these are facets he teaches and coaches on a daily basis, Chris understands that many entrepreneurs are dealing with subliminal, even unconscious mental currents in their minds that create obstructions and obstacles to success. These deep seated “paradigms,” or ways of unconscious thinking often conjure up fear of failure, fear of criticism, and feelings that they’re just not good enough (in some way, shape or form) to succeed as an entrepreneur. “From our childhoods forward, we actually internalize people’s other negative, pessimistic thoughts and people’s other opinions to the point of believing that these same thoughts are the reality for our lives,” says Chris.
