Why You Need a Business Coach
Posted on July 16, 2012 by Michael Berry, One of Thousands of Business Coaches on Noomii.
If you own a business and you're not working with a coach or mentor, chances are you're missing out on opportunities to grow your income.
And on top of that – you’re probably stressed out, over worked, out of balance and spending too much time on the things you HAVE to do, and not enough on things you WANT to do.
Perhaps the greatest benefit to having a coach is having someone help you create your vision of what’s POSSIBLE. If you don’t know where you’re going, how do you expect to get there?
You need someone who will help you keep track of your priorities and make sure that you are paying attention to what’s IMPORTANT, not just what’s URGENT. If you’re frequently distracted by emergencies that scream for your attention, you’re never going to find the time to get the really important stuff done. Things that will enable you to grow the business over the long term, and free you from the feeling that you “own a job” – instead of the business you envisioned. If you don’t believe that, just ask yourself (honestly) “how am I doing on the plan I had when I first started my company?”
You need a private confidante with whom you can share your deepest business concerns. You need someone who has the knowledge and understanding to help you work through them. We all know there are business concerns that you’re not comfortable sharing with anyone else, not even your closest friend. You need someone who can help you discretely work through those issues.
You need someone who will challenge you to think BIGGER, help you raise the bar, and hold you to it. Let’s face it – on our own, we mostly work way below our true potential.
You need someone who will ask you questions that make you to see the opportunities that you have been missing, and because that someone also has a wealth of business experience outside of coaching, they bring new ideas and strategies built from years of experience doing it for themselves.
You need a business coach. But since you searched and found this article, you must already know that. So all you need to do next is pick up the phone and set up a complimentary initial consultation where you’ll receive a customized 12-point growth plan for your business. And don’t worry about what it costs, because when it’s done right it doesn’t cost you a penny. Consider instead what it’s costing you NOT to do it.
