Lee Huffman (photo left) in his own words:
At age 40, I decided I had wondered in the desert long enough and decided to leave big business behind and start helping small business owners. So, CornerStone Executive Consulting Services was created. But, that still did not satisfy the desire that God had placed on my heart.
Why Action International Cornerstone?
In 2001, my wife and I decided to get back to our roots in the south. Now, don’t get me wrong, consulting is great and it helps a lot of companies. But, it does not grow the people you are working with ... it just plugs holes. In 2003, I found Action International and created Action International Cornerstone Business Coaching Services, LLC and I knew I was finally home.
It’s About PASSION
Please don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of friends who are consultants and I am still the Chairman of two consulting companies. But, consulting companies fill one need and coaching companies fill a completely separate need. Consulting companies come into your business, work on a problem, a project, or a department, and then they leave (Well, most of them leave ... eventually ;^).
Coaches come into your business and work with you, and in many ways work on you, so that YOU can resolve problems, design and manage your business properly, motivate the team, get new customers, improve your profits and work less hours. We do this by teaching you dozens of business strategies, acting as a sounding board, holding you accountable, and much, much more. Then, when we move on, you can do the same thing again, in another business, as you use franchising methods to improve your business so much that your team can run it without you being there all the time, or in many cases, ever.
This, my friend, is where my business passion really lies ... Helping small to medium sized business owners learn more about business then they could ever get out of a college course, a seminar, book, or workshop, while they take their business (and many times personal) lives to the next level of success. One client said, “It is like getting a PhD in business and using your own business as the first case study!”
