Well, it’s actually quite easy. Do you have a job? Do you own a business? Do you want to own a business? If you answered yes to any of these, you need a coach.
Have you ever heard of LeBron James? No, how about Tiger Woods or Serena Williams? Still no, how about Steve Jobs or Bill Gates? Madonna? Oprah Winfrey?
All of these legendary figures have had coaches. It doesn’t matter how much talent, skill or experience you have, no one knows everything. Everyone needs someone to help them see what is right in front of them. Even every FocalPoint coach has a business coach.
Why do these famous people and so many others hire a coach? Here are 5 things that a business coach can provide:
1. Accountability
You can make all the goals in the world and even set target dates, but if no one is there to hold you accountable, you can just push that task back a month or so. Will you magically achieve all your goals on time with a coach? Probably not, but a FocalPoint business coach will help you understand why you missed your targets and help you adjust your plan or get through any roadblocks so that you can meet your targets the second time around.
2. Unbiased Sounding Board
Who do you ask for advice when you are a one-man show – your partner, your family, your friends? Are they perhaps a little biased? FocalPoint business coaches are always on your side, but they are there to tell you the cold hard truth that most people won’t. They provide constructive criticism and ask you questions about your path to uncover any potential pitfalls or obstacles.
3. Balance
Everyone wants balance in their life and if we could do it alone, it would be done. A FocalPoint business coach will ask you the tough questions to help you identify what you can outsource, help you let go, and even provide tools that can help you manage your schedule and spend time where you want most.
4. Confidence
Who doesn’t love a support team? Your business coach is also there to help you acknowledge your wins and be proud of what you have done and where you are going. Many coaches also facilitate mastermind groups or group coaching, which is a great support system to remind you that you are not alone.
5. Growth & Scalability
You wear all the hats. Every business starts out this way; the real question is how decide which hats to give away and when. We all want our business to grow, but what happens when it does. Are you ready? Marketing, Budget, Scheduling, Hiring, Payroll, and more all need to work together if you want your business to grow in a manageable way. FocalPoint business coaches are equipped with a plethora of tools to help you properly scale your business growth.
Find Your Business Coach
These are just a few benefits that we have highlighted. Business coaches provide focus and clarity on so many subjects that it’s hard to choose just a few. The main reason everyone needs a business coach is because we all need to see different perspectives. We all need someone to push us to our limits. We all need support and accountability. Coaches take good and make it great!
