Indeed, why in the world would you hire a business coach? There is no simple answer to questions like these as there is for why you would brush your teeth or exercise. To answer this question requires some personal reflection and then a certain amount of courage to act on it. Yet business people do hire coaches. And there may be several compelling reasons for taking that action, which is probably an atypical action for an entrepreneur.
By definition of entrepreneur, you are “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise “merriam-webster.com
You are a risk taker, an explorer, riding into the undiscovered plains and mountains of the business world. In other words you have courage, “guts”, and there are times when you fail. When you fail, you are resilient—you go back at it again. You don’t need anyone telling you what to do, “I want to do it myself—thank you very much.”
So then the question: Why hire a business coach?
- You are committed to accomplishing something that seems bigger than your expertise.
- You have reached a plateau in your business and are trying to figure out what to do next.
- You want to quit but feel like you still have something great to give and can’t figure out how to do it.
- You have tried and failed, but after the independence of owning your own business you know that you don’t want to work for anyone else. But still, how can you make your business successful?
Hiring a business coach is an investment in success.
