Is business coaching right for me?
There's no doubt that a good business coach will help keep you focused and on track to achieving your goals. They will help transform your perspective, hold you accountable to the goals you have set for yourself and keep you focused on the bigger picture. A great business coach will help you see the blind spots in both yourself and your business.
But how do you know if Business Coaching is right for you?
Create the business that gives you the life you’ve always dreamed of…
If an Olympic hopeful wants to improve their skills and believe they can truly achieve Gold, the best thing for them is to invest in a great coach, or equally join a team that has a great coach. We can also apply this logic to business. If we want to succeed and grow beyond our comfort zone and the self-doubt, then finding a great business coach may be exactly what we need.
There are a number of things to consider when deciding if business coaching is right for you. There are also many different styles of products and services to choose from. They key is to find the programme that fits your needs now and that can be adapted as you grow.
As an entrepreneur working hard to build a new business, it is inevitable that at some point you are going to get caught up with the day-to-day running of your business. As the one spinning all the plates, you need help. So, is a business coach the answer to your problems?
Here are a few key considerations:
- How focused are you? A coach will create real clarity around your goals, help you to set milestones and keep you focused and on track.
- Do you see the 'Big Picture'? A coach will ask questions around your personal and business drivers to keep you clear on what the long-term outcome of your business and if it is aligned with your big picture.
- Do you have peripheral vision? A coach will help you take a 'helicopter view' of your business, giving you a powerful new perspective. This will lead to increased clarity and better decisions.
- Do you hold up the mirror? A coach will hold you accountable for the decisions you make and the actions you choose to take. Everything we do in life comes with a choice and your coach will empower you to make the right decisions for you.
- Where do you find inspiration? Often the answers are at the tip of our fingers, ever so slightly out of reach. A coach will become a sounding board for brainstorming and ideation.
- Do you have great ideas, but don't know how to implement them? A coach will work with you to systematically break down ideas and strategies into their component parts so you can create a clear plan of action.
- Are you a great leader? A coach works to build your leadership skills so you can in turn build and lead a great business or team. Often leaders are so focussed on supporting those around them they neglect their own development.
