7 Great Reasons
Taking on a coach is a significant commitment you make to yourself, so why do successful business owners take on coaches. Let me share with you 7 simple reasons where a business coach will have a dramatic impact.
- You’re working too many hours and pretty sure that if you left for a holiday, things wouldn’t work anywhere near as well as they do now. Put another way, the business relies on you too much. A business coach will assist in raising your awareness when it comes to the level of your productivity, help to develop a militant attitude in regards to the value of your time. Wouldn’t that be helpful?
- You’re ready to make a whole lot more profit. If you’re not making anywhere near enough money to justify the effort, risk, and investment you’re making in the business then it’s time to turn that around. A business coach will be able to help you with your sales, marketing, advertising, profit growth, business growth, business systems, time management and team building strategies to literally jump your revenues in a matter of months. Well, that’s where coaching pays for itself!
- You’re ready to build a team of people that can grow the business whether you’re there or not, now you have more time. Recruiting, training and keeping the best people makes your life so much easier. Building a team of motivated, passionate performers is all part of a business coaches skillset, getting the very best from people and attracting the right people.
- You need to fall in love with your business again, it’s no longer motivating and you’ve forgotten why you went into business in the first place. Time for a re-injection of that vision and passion you had when you first started. Business motivation is at the core of everything your business coach will take you through. Building a simple business plan will give you the clarity on not only what needs doing but how to do it. Whatever the size of the company a business coach is one of the fastest ways to a better business and a better lifestyle.
- You know that to grow you need to be learning more, but you don’t even have time to keep up with your industry changes let alone the changes in global business and how to implement them in your business. Business education has changed, with business coaching taking over from traditional books so you get the right information at the right time. Not to mention high levels of accountability in putting your learning into action.
- You need a coach, someone to hold you accountable, someone to demand results, someone to push you, and then to congratulate you on a job well done. Being a business owner can be a lonely job, having a sounding board, a coach, a candid friend to talk with and go see about your business problems is just a small part of what a coach does, but often it can be the most valuable. Isn’t that interesting?
- You need someone who can see the obvious, an outsider who isn’t blinded by the industry and by too many years in your business. Running your own business you often need an outsider to see the simplest of things. A business coach can and will ask the tough questions so you’re on track, challenge you to think outside the box and keep you focused on your vision.
Coaching isn’t for business or industry elite. It’s not reserved for those who are ‘ready’ and have the time to be coached. It’s not going to make you feel good or miraculously turn you, the business or your team around. It’s going to be boring, tedious, hard work and build on many levels, focus on marginal gains over a committed period. Here’s the thing, when you get to a destination, achieve your goal and look back over your shoulder at what you have achieved it will blow your mind how far you’ve come and what’s changed.
Now, that’s a challenging thought!
