BUSINESS COACHING:
IRMO ANSWERS.
The questions that actually come up about business coaching in Irmo.
The Richland and Lexington Counties picture
Irmo is a town straddling two counties on the northwest edge of Columbia in Richland and Lexington Counties, anchored by Lake Murray, the Harbison retail corridor and the I-26 interchange.
Irmo's economy is retail and consumer services at regional scale. The Harbison corridor draws shoppers from several counties, and almost everything else in town orbits it. There is little undeveloped land left, so change here means aging shopping centers being torn down and rebuilt rather than new ground being opened up.
Irmo addresses can sit in either Richland or Lexington County. Confirm which one before you assume a tax rate or a filing office.

Frequently asked
Questions people actually ask
Do you work in Irmo?
Yes. Irmo and the rest of Richland and Lexington Counties are inside the regular footprint, along with much of South Carolina.
Coaching or consulting — which do I need?
Consulting changes the business. Coaching changes the operator. If nobody knows who owns the next step, that is structural. If you know what to do and are not doing it, that is not.
Is there a free starting point?
Yes — a free learning community and free written material. Use those first.
What can you promise?
No outcome. Not a figure, not a timeline. What is available is someone who has run the business you are running, will tell you the truth, and will check whether you did what you said.
Does being in Irmo matter?
Not for the work itself. The Okra Strut is the genuine civic anchor. A town festival named after a vegetable says most of what needs saying about how Irmo sees itself, and it is not a small event.
Who is this wrong for?
Anyone wanting validation, anyone unwilling to change their calendar, anyone pre-revenue who needs customers rather than structure.
Make your next move
A year from now, what will you be glad you started today?
You don't need another promise that everything will be easy. You need something useful to learn — and a next step you're willing to take.
