13 Feb 5 Ways a Business Coach can Help your Business

Are you wondering how and if a business coach can help your company?

Business ownership and entrepreneurship can be lonely. It rarely starts out that way. Possibility, coffee, and lists with all your grand ideas fill your path with excitement as you start out. And then one day, you look around and realize you aren’t quite sure if you’re where you meant to be – and you aren’t sure if you’re headed the right way. Loneliness and confusion begin to settle in. You aren’t reaching your goals and you aren’t sure why.

We’ve been there.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can climb out of the loneliness and the drudgery – you just need someone to reach in and pull you alongside them. You need a business coach.

There are a handful of reasons that entrepreneurs talk themselves out of working with a business coach. From money to time, you name it, we’ve heard it. But we’re here to lay out 5 solid reasons why you should have one.

Accountability

We’ve all heard the quotes and metaphors pertaining to dreams and goals. Essentially, it all boils down to making sure you have tactical steps behind your goals and making sure that your goals are achievable and measurable. A good business coach will work alongside you to ensure you’re setting the right goals and will hold you accountable for the steps leading up to them.

Outside Perspective

It’s hard to see the forest for the trees when you’re in the middle of all of it. Sometimes, perspective can change your overwhelming feelings to gratitude or grit – or both. And sometimes it’s hard to see the bad habits you may have accumulated along the way (heading to set a calendar reminder and all of a sudden you’re 45 minutes deep in Instagram stories, anyone?).

Increase Self-Awareness

Someone that’s “been there” can help hold up a mirror to yourself, increasing your self-awareness. A good business coach will ask you the hard questions, and you’ll walk away from each encounter with a firmer grasp on what you’re good at, what you should be leaning into, and what you can toss to the wayside (or delegate to someone else).

Help Business Partner Relationships

When you’re in the weeds with a business partner, things can get hairy from time to time. For most small business owners, their business is their baby and if you have a partner, you’re raising it with someone else. Remembering why you started is always helpful. Chances are, you teamed up with your partner because they have skills the business needs to be successful that you don’t, and likewise. Similar to working with a marriage counselor, a business coach can help open lines of communication, reinvigorate your passion and get you both back on the same page.

Hone Sales Skills

If you’re a small business owner, you’d like to make some money. Working with a business coach – specifically a sales coach – will provide you with the skills you need to convert customers and close sales. You’ll receive valuable training and resources from someone who’s walked the same path as you.
