I help entrepreneurs make money. A client raised $500k in 8 weeks / Another grew his business to 9M customers / Another made became #30 most viewed TED talk of all time

(1) RAISE MONEY FROM INVESTORS / ANGELS / VCs

My fastest client was running an augmented reality company and raised $600k within a week of changing their pitch deck. Another client approached with me an idea that was still just a concept, and within 9 months later he raised $750k.

(2) DELIVER A WORLD CLASS TED TALK / KEYNOTE

I coached Esther Perel to deliver one of the 30th most viewed TED talk of all time with 8,400,000 views. She came back to me to help with her 2nd TED talk, which is already in the top 60 with 5,600,000 views.

(3) GROW YOUR BUSINESS / BUILD YOUR BRAND

A client started a business while at university. He had no idea how to speak with retailers and big businesses. Within 3 months of working together, he secured a deal with one of UK's biggest retailer. Within another few months he made it to their top 10 Christmas presents list.

Another client went from having an idea and no clients to having a full practice. Within 18 months of working together, she got interviewed on national television and had full page articles about her work in national papers.

I help people create masterpieces. My speciality is creating magic in life. Here's some of the magic I created in my life:

SPORTS - After practicing judo for 10 years and winning the medal at the Brussels Championship, I received the highest score on my black belt exam.

PUBLIC SPEAKING - After delivering over 1,000 days of workshops and public speaking, I received the UK Business Speaker of the Year Award runner up, and was invited at TED for the 2nd time.

BOOK WRITING - I was invited to speak at Harvard about entrepreneurship because they got hold of my 3rd book. The same year, the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC made my first book required reading.

PHOTOGRAPHY - I spent my entire life doing art, and in 2014 the European Commission invited me to exhibit my photography at their Innovation Conference.

BUSINESS COACHING - I worked with over 25,000 people from all over the world and many times, I took massive risks to do what I love. As a result, I was invited to showcase my work in the Coaching Movie and to co-host a monthly radio show on VoiceAmerica for health & wellness entrepreneurs .
"The pitch went great! We're just selected for the semi-finals!! Best 20 startups of 13,000 now!" - Jouri Schoemaker, co-founder at Shake-On.

"It was so refreshing to hear someone be honest about their experience in business! I've been very keen to get back into running my own business and he has helped me reconfirmed that I should!" James Mitchell - Tenders for Construction

"During that hour and a half Noam asked great questions that cut straight to the core of my business, our services, vision and direction. He was able to quickly change my perspective on elements of my business, and offer great advice on new ways to monetize. Noam's thought processes, and the pace with which he can generate sound advice is unparalleled by another other business consultant I've met.

Public Speaking, Keynotes, Pitching, Presentations

One of my clients asked me to coach her to prepare for a TED talk. Little did she know how much it would change her life.

She had already received some media attention and had videos on YouTube with up to 20,000 views, but she wasn't getting the traction she wanted. She was already a very successful therapist, but she wanted to become a household name.

Her talk has now 4,500,000 views and since then she has been invited to speak at many prestigious conferences with world class CEOs, tons of media attention, and even a 2 pages spread in the Wall Street Journal! She is now full booked all the time and will appear on the Colbert Report.

I worked with Esther on how to tell great stories, how to structure her talk and how to deliver it in the most natural way.

I have talked at over 80 international conferences in 12 countries and have been awarded UK Business Speaker of the Year 2011 runner up and 2012 finalist.

If you are looking to improve your keynote speeches, I have several tools and techniques I use to guide my clients who want:

1. To reduce their stress and anxiety before and during the talk
2. Structure the talk most effectively
3. Make a great opening and memorable ending
4. Communicate a clear message
5. Get your audience want to take action based on the talk
6. Inspire or motivate your audience
7. Engage emotionally and intellectually your audience
8. Make it enjoyable to listen to you

Personal Branding

You strive for success and have some great ideas. When you get business, your clients are happy. However, you are far better at selling others than yourself. You want your products and services to sell better without having to degrade yourself with selfless promotion and being obnoxiously loud. You want to be successful without feeling embarrassed about how you get there.

You run a business, you're a sole trader or an expert, and you want people to contact you, hire you or buy your products and services... but you're not good at selling yourself. You see others “pimping” themselves and find them foreign, if not unappealing. You would like to have a wider audience; but you don’t want to compromise yourself in the process.

In today’s world, thanks to the Internet, everyone is a media. When we speak, word of mouth can literally go viral (for good or bad). A fundamental building block of a personal brand is your network.

Your personal brand is rooted in establishing trust.

The role of a personal brand is to help you do what you want to do or be who you want to be. Creating a strong personal brand will help to sell products or services, help you get hired, or connect with people. Whereas personal branding used to be the bailiwick of entrepreneurs (especially common of web entrepreneurs), there is an opportunity, if not a need, for individuals in all instances to create their own personal brand. The reason for this is that being Googled is fast becoming a pre-requisite for any significant meeting. Everyday employees in big business should be mindful of their personal brand – and the online world offers an opportunity for all varieties of profiles.

You can find more answers in my first book You are Your Brand! on everything you know about branding but never thought applied to you.

What are the most important ways that women can cultivate their leadership personas?

Thank you for your question. It comes at a perfect time because I have just started mentoring a young woman from Nepal via the WeduFund nonprofit because I believe that the world needs more female leaders: in my opinion the world will be a much better place when we have a 50-50 presence of female-male leaders in all fields.

The way you phrased your question makes me want to share two disclaimers before I continue:

1. Any answer given here has to be a generalization: all women (and men) are different. Every single client I work with (man and woman) has a different story and requires to find their own unique path the building their leadership persona. I understand that you're looking for general trends, which is what I will focus on.

2. Your question implies a difference between men and women. To keep this answer relatively short, the only difference I will highlight is that in my experience of coaching, training and mentoring women managers, executives and entrepreneurs is that women tend to have the reverse strengths and weaknesses men have. For example, most of my male and female clients agree with the statement "when men think, they say they know; when women know, they say they think". Please let me know if this was actually the focus of your question.

In business as well as in media, most leadership personas are still portrait by men. A direct result is that most female leaders believe they have to emulate the way men cultivate their leadership (which may very well work for some!).

The three basic principles will always be the same, however the journey and the way to fulfill these principles will alway be different:

1. Building your brand. I have written a book called "you are your brand" where I describe this process in more details. You have to tell a great story, show your vision, share your values and walk the talk. Your brand must be build within your organization, within your network of friends, within your industry as well as on social media. How does your peronsal brand look like now? What does your ideal brand look like?

2. Building relations up (hierarchic superiors, mentors), side-ways (colleagues at the same level, clients, suppliers) and down (direct team members, junior employees). A persona is an image people have of you: once you have clarity of your brand, you have to create a network of people who know and believe in your brand. Cultivating relations and building a strong network of followers is crucial to establishing your leadership. How are you current relations up, sideways and down? Which ones do you need most improvement on?

3. Continuously grow as a leader: some people may be tempted to build a leadership persona without actually being great leaders. You can build the best brand in the world but if you don't walk the talk, people will eventually notice your persona is only sparks and artefacts. It is crucial that you continuously grow as a leader because the best leader create leaders. In other words, your leadership will be most fully established the moment your mentees / followers have taken your position. This means that you must have taken the steps to grow to the next level up. What are your strengths and successes as a leader? What does the next level of leadership look like for you: where are you going?

A good example of a female leader who does not attempt to emulate male leadership is Sheryl Sandberg, COO at Facebook. I recommend to many of my female clients to this her book "Lean In" because it is a great basis for developing our coaching relationship. While reading the book, make notes of what you can relate to and what does not relate to you: we can then focus on the similarities and differences because like everyone... you are unique.

What are some impacts of Non-Transparency?

I have done a lot of work on transparency with both non-profits and corporates, especially when related to strategic decisions, bad news, M&A and social media.

Non-transparency implies you're hiding something. In most cases, leaders and managers believe non-transparency gives them an edge in negotiation / makes them more irreplaceable or that it will avoid conflict / problems.

The impact of Non-Transparency include what happens when the truth is discovered. Sometimes before the deal is made, sometimes after.

Other impacts are on the overall atmosphere of the company and relations to other colleagues / business partners / clients: people know there is non-transparency because they know the workplace is not fully transparent. This increases stress, tension, decreases openness of employees, reduces their loyalty, can affect their work ethics, etc.

On the individual who has to conceal the truth, there is also a psychological and physiological impact. If an individual has to hold on to many "non-transparent truths", the physiological impact on the body can lead to chronic pains and illnesses (especially back and eye pains, stomach problems and even heart diseases in the most serious cases).

I do not condemn non-transparency because it can be necessary in specific situations.

The questions you may want to ask yourself are:

1. What is the purpose of non-transparency?
2. What are the alternative solutions to non-transparency?
3. What is the worst that can happen with transparency?
4. What are we worried will actually happen? Why do we think this will happen?
5. What does the ideal situation look like?
6. What do we want to achieve?

If you want to explore non-transparency within your leadership or company, we can arrange a call to guide you in deciding whether it is the best solution in the situation you're in.

There are some fabulous examples of organizations that have tested different forms of transparency, with the pros and cons, which I will happily share with you.

Is this any useful?

What is the best way to get connected to investors? Do I absolutely need a business plan?

Would you give your money to someone who doesn't have a written plan you can look through?

Nobody parts with their money unless they are convinced they will see a return (unless they're a good friend who does you a favor and doesn't care about seeing their money back).

There are more options for financing than Angels and VCs.

You need to first go back to the business modeling drawing board: a good business plan is flexible, short and shows potential investors you have thought about all potential problems and have taken into account all aspects of the business.

Schedule a call with me to get honest and experienced feedback on your funding potential, and start working on your business plan together to maximise your funding potential.

In the second phase, we will also work on your pitch and networking within the different investors communities.

What are some of the 'normal' emotional challenges that new entrepreneurs should expect to feel in their first few weeks? How do you cope?

Many of my clients have made the big jump you have.

The emotional challenges new entrepreneurs go through are typical to any changes: you will go from highs of the "honeymoon" phase and initial successes, to lows from inevitable failures and obstacles.

Entrepreneurship is an emotional rollercoaster. The best way to cope is to develop good entrepreneurial habits, from healthy living to sustainable work ethic.

You will have the pressure of having to manage a lot of conflicting priorities: by improving how you pay attention you can reduce stress, emotional breakdowns and financial struggles.

What emotional challenges are you most worried to bump into? What obstacles are you most anxious to have to overcome?

What's the preferred way from a mentors point of view to get pursued? What specific must "click" in order to become interested or reply back?

Through my work as an executive coach, business trainer and consultant, I've specialized in understanding why people do what they do. The key is to get clarity as to what people really want / need (not always the same thing). I am currently finishing a book on "how to find the best teachers (mentors) in life and keep them" (www.seektokeep.com). Let me share a little extract from the book with you:

Understanding people's motivations and drivers will make your life easier when looking for a mentor because you will know why they do what they do, and what they really want. Once you know what people really want, you will also know whether it is something you can give them.

From my experience, most people mentor because of a combination of the following reasons (in no particular order):

• They like you and enjoy spending time with you
• They see themselves in you
• They feel good with you because you are … [driven, funny, full of energy, calm, intelligent, caring, etc]
• They see helping you develop your potential as an exciting challenge
• They believe you may be a great asset for their business once you've grown to have the right experience
• They are happy to pay forward the help they've received
• They believe you'll be successful and they want to be part of this exciting journey
• They learn something from you

In terms of "preferred way" to be pursued, if you're talking about communication channels (ie. mobile, email, face to face, etc), that will be different each mentor. The few things to remember is:

1. Don't take it personally if they don't respond to you: chances are they're extremely busy! As I explained in an interview I gave this summer about how to find mentors, it took me 1 month of calling VISA every other day before I got the the contact I wanted > (full article here) http://bit.ly/1iFCwMq

2. You have to adapt to your mentor's style and preferences. What you do with one mentor may not work with another. The ball is always in your camp when it comes to being mentored.

Does this answer your question?

I'm about to graduate from a 9 week coding bootcamp. Should I start my company or go work and continue learning?

There's no right answer to your question, fortunately or unfortunately: what's important is for you to fully weight the pros and cons of the two options in front of you and to remember that whatever decision you take now, you can always change your mind.

If you get a job and hate it, you can always quit.
If you start your company and it doesn't work out, you can always get a job.

The biggest mistake in this situation is to believe your decision is final.

Make a list of the pros and cons of each options. Do the math: how long can you survive without a job? Is this long enough to build your product and find clients? How much can a job pay (part-time / full-time) and how much will you be saving?

Once you've made this list, put it in a drawer while you take a day to think about what you really want: what makes your really happy? Where do you want to be in 5 years time? What makes you excited to wake up in the morning before your alarm rings?

You can now bring the two documents one next to the other and make a logical decision. Once this is done, give it a day or two to sit over your decision: how does it feel? What do your guts tell you? When you think about your decision, does it feel right? Do you feel excitement and enthusiasm?

If you wish to explore these questions with me, book a call. I've coached a lot of entrepreneurs and have seen many start-ups fail. I've also coached a lot of people through building a successful career. Either way, what matters to me is that you're happy when you wake up in the morning and satisfied with your day when you go to sleep because that is the single biggest factor to be successful in what you do.

What legal precautions can I take to make sure nobody steals my startup idea?

Lawyers will tell you they can protect your idea, but the truth is that unless you have a lot of money to follow with a lawsuit, most protection doesn't do much. Copyright is a slow and lengthy process.

I remember 2 tech entrepreneurs in Poland who got introduced to the head of a big Polish bank by a friend of mine. After the meeting the head of this bank called my friend and said "they were lovely people but why did you send them to me?". When my friend called the 2 tech entrepreneurs, they told him they didn't share their idea because they were worried the head of the bank would steal it. They never got another meeting with the head of this bank who was initially interested in giving them funding, and my friend never made any other introductions.

From experience coaching and consulting for a lot of tech start-ups, the best way is to build a strong brand and to make the most of your first mover's advantage. In terms of privacy, you can get people to sign Non Disclosure Agreements and share your idea only with people you have build relations and trust with.

You can schedule a call to find out how to make the most of your first mover's advantage.

Legal Advice

Noam Kostucki answered

When an investor is considering making an investment, is the current legal/ partnership agreement important?

Never get in business with people you want to buy out. Do not sign any agreement to give away such big chunk of your business unless you are 100% convinced they're the best people to work with. From your long description, it doesn't seem you believe they are trustworthy nor that they deliver the work you expect. You seem to say they go back on their words.

By signing this agreement you will put yourself in an even more difficult situation because you will not have enough shares to give to any other serious investors while retaining majority stakes and decision power.

I am trying to grow my market share without investing a large percentage of the profits. What is the best way to do this?

There is no right answer to this question because it will be different for every company. To be able to develop a successful strategy, you have to get a good picture of where you're at now, what's been stopping you from growing bigger / faster and how do you want the company to grow. Once you have clarity over these points, you can start building a strategy and test the different scenarios.

Here are some of the questions you may want to get answers to before spending any money on sales people, ads, etc:

1. What is your bigger vision? What does it look like when you've made the company the way you want it to be?
2. What does success look like for you? How will you know you have achieved what you wanted to?
3. What problems do you solve? Who has these problems? How much is it worth for these people to get the problems solved? How big does it make the market? What are the different segments? Do your services cover all the different segments of these markets?
4. What are your current strengths and weaknesses? Where do you make most of your money? What are your least profitable activities? Where do you spend most of your money?
5. What has been stopping you from growing bigger / faster? What have been your most successful channel / initiative for growth? What have you already tried that worked / didn't work?
6. What are the opportunities in the changing world for your business? These changes can be social, technological, economic, environmental, political, legal or ethical.
7. How much money do you have to invest and what return do you expect? How much time can you give yourself to test different solutions?
8. What do your clients think of you? Why do they use your services versus competitors? How do your clients find you?
9. Who are your competitors? What makes them more / less successful? Why do their clients use them versus you? How do their clients find them?
10. What will you personally gain from having a more successful company? What's in it for you? How does it make your life better / happier?

I have helped several companies through this process. What's important to remember is that the answers will be different for every business depending on the industry, the environment you're in, your reality, etc.

What advice do experienced, women entrepreneurs have for a new mom who is thinking of starting her own business?

I'm now a woman but I have guided a lot of women entrepreneurs over the years. I believe that you are 100% right: not being committed to a full-time job is the best time to start a business.

Few questions to keep in mind while formulating your business.

1. Do you already have a specific business idea? Is there a specific field that interests you? Is there a skill you have that you want / can leverage on?

2. What kind of business do you want to run: a one person business you can run from home or a business for which you want to get an office and build a team that works there? Do you want to create the foundations for a big business or do you want to create a simple business to run? Do you want it to be a business that has a meaning for you or do you want a cash-cow? Do you want to build a business for a lifetime or something you can eventually sell and leave?

3. What is your past experience with business? What kind of jobs have you had in the past? What does your network look like?

At this stage, my best advice is to take the time to think and pilot different ideas. You don't have to get it right from the first attempt and the lean start-up models can help you test a few models before making any significant investment of time and/or money.

There are a few trends / generic differences between men and women starting in business (note the emphasis on "generic / trends"!). I often recommend my female guidance clients to read "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg because many have said they can relate to what she talks about. It is therefore great food for thoughts during our conversations to explore the similarities and differences, as well as solutions to move forward.

Is this any helpful? Does this give you a few pointers of what to think about?

Noam Kostucki answered

From your experience, what are the 'key' rules to building a great team for the long-term?

Your question is very interesting and gives me a feeling you have a real commitment for success because it makes me feel you care for your team.

If this question could be fully answered in a couple of lines, you can imagine all managers and executives would lead their teams successfully.

The 2 key principles to remember are:

1. Everyone is different: you have to adapt to each individual. It is time consuming but pays off in the long run because everyone has their own learning styles, speed and attitude. Take the time to have 1:1 conversations about them as individuals: likes and dislikes, under what conditions they perform best, how they learn most easily and about their career goals.

2. Create a team spirit. This is the exact opposite of point 1: as much as you recognize everyone as individuals, you have to also build unity and cohesion. There has to be standardized rules of behavior, common values and a shared vision. You have to take time with your team as a whole.

This will lead you to create:

1. A personal development plan for each individual in your team, which helps you develop a tailored approach for each person, create reward & recognition systems and monitor people's happiness and performance. This helps you understand your team from a micro-perspective.

2. An organizational development plan for your start-up to give you a more global vision of the talents you need to acquire, retain and grow. This helps you understand your team from a macro-perspective.

Team building requires taking time for all the different aspects of bonding: forming, storming, norming, performing, mourning.

It's always about balancing two extremes:

On one hand you want to take time to work together and alone, to learn & grow, to brainstorm, to create, to plan, to prepare, to research and to measure performance.

On the other hand you, you also want to take time away from the office to stop & think, take time to have fun, take time to get to know each other, take time to rest & relax.

Do you need any guidance to build individual and organizational development plans that will support growth and team building for your start-up?

Raj Lahoti Source: Clarity

Every single time I talk with Noam, there is some great reflection I get from it. This time I'm grateful for help in clarifying what's the most important for me in making my choices for the next steps in life. I got a lot of confidence and peace of mind before taking next steps in my career. Thank you!

Pawel Górski Source: Clarity

Noam was a great help in identifying my target audience beyond what I was able to do myself. He also helped me articulate why what I'm doing is important. Highly recommend.

Kurt Vega Source: Clarity

Talking to Noam was a real pleasure. Our business team's questions covered areas such as Marketing, Social Media, and Sales amongst others and Noam was able to provide us with a couple of good pieces of advice in an instant. A shape of a few of his ideas had been ours prior to our talk but neither did we know how to carve them out of stone nor were we sure how to implement them. Noam gave us some clearer insight into these matters and ensured us we are taking the right steps.
Thank you, Noam.

Peter Wiktorowski Source: Clarity

Noam helped me clarify a professional dilemna I was burdened with for a long time. He used an informal tone AND a robust structure to guide me through it, which suited me very well. I got a few insights and Noam really made sure i was clear about the actions and behaviours i would put in place to sustain the change. Recommended!

Servane Mouazan Source: Clarity

Noam is an excellent trainer with good interpersonal skills. He was able to connect with the audience and engage them in a very interactive session. His confidence and experience was apt for the ice breaking session for Entrepreneurs International Challenge. He is not only wonderful person to work with, but also very helpful. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Vikas Chawla Source: LinkedIn

From the very first moment since we met in 2006, Noam amazed me with his ability to challenge the conventional truth and inspire for development. Since then, I had a pleasure to work with Noam several times, in business environment as well as on non-for-profit projects.

Noam is greatly experienced in working in multicultural environment, which brings significant added value. He is able to see beyond the cultural framework and apply successful business practices from different parts of the world. It also makes his coaching skills outstanding hence he is able to take the person out of their cultural context and look for all possible leverages in the variety of skills and competencies.

His excellent conflict management skills will be of a great benefit to every team working under high pressure. He can bring a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere but also strongly push for challenges and overcoming own barriers and limitations at the same time.

Be sure that Noam will overexceed your expectations and surprise you with creative solutions and out-of-the-box thinking. He has proven many times that there is always room for improvement.

Finaly Noam is a great motivational speaker, who has already inspired hundreds of people, including me, to expand self-awareness, set meaningful personal goals and strive for achieving them. I am glad to have experienced coaching from him, as it taught me lots about my own self and inspired me to pursue happiness by finding and fulfilling my unique potential.

I fully recommend Noam for every leadership position, as a trainer, coach and consultant.

"Big thanks for your support and professional lecture supplementary to my performance.

It was like a fairy tale, where the actors were the participants. The atmosphere you created touched even the most stiff people in the room, who were critical towards my performance (too high level of content, too professional for this target group).

The trainers who were present were shocked [positively] and could learn a lot from you.

I hope that this first project together will bring us long cooperation/ I already have some specific actions in my mind/ not only in the area of business women, but also on more fields."
