Is your business at a point where you need that special “something” to propel you toward the next level of success? What is that “something”? For some entrepreneurs, working with a business could be the next step in your business and helping it grow.
How to find a business coach
If you’ve decided this is the time to get your own business coach, what steps can you take to find one? Here are my tips:
- Ask colleagues if they use a coach and if they’d recommend him or her.
- Do a search on Google for business coaches in your particular niche.
- Find a coach that will offer a complementary session; you need to be a personality fit if your coaching is going to benefit you and your growth.
- Know what you’re looking for in a coach. What do you feel you need? Where are you stuck? If you don’t have an idea of what you’re seeking in a coach, you will be spinning your wheels.
- Make sure your personality is a fit. If you’re quiet and reserved, a coach who is loud and brash may not fit your style.
- Set goals with him or her and have measurable goals along the way that show you you’re headed in the right direction.
- If you begin working with a coach and you just don’t feel it’s of benefit, talk with him or her and let them know. Maybe you can reboot and get back on track.
