It happens all of the time. You find yourself struggling to get everything on your list done so that you can go home and fret about your rough life while you try to spend time with your family. You grab some food, watch some TV, go to bed and wake up the next day doing it all again.
What are you doing all of this for?
If this describes your typical day than perhaps a business coach can help you. A good business coach will get you to find your “why” and help guide you through some steps to get yourself on track. A great business coach will hold you accountable to these actions. A phenomenal business coach will make all of this fun while they guide you through all of this.
But what do you need a business coach for? You are pretty awesome already, aren’t you? You have made it through more challenging times than this and no one knows your business like you do. Or do they?
I have had the privilege to be invited to coach some powerful businesses. They looked great, did well in sales and had what looked to be a tip-top business. Right up until I spent the better part of 8 minutes with them. Over the course of those 8 minutes I was able to find holes in their business that the business owners never considered. (8 minutes is actually the average time needed to make a business owner stare blankly in fear/amazement while you point out a weak spot you helped them discover.)
Who can blame the business owner? Do you have any idea what it takes to be a business owner? You probably do, that is why you read sweet articles like this. If you are not aware, it can be a pain. Double the pain with sales involved. Quadruple the pain with employees involved. Maybe more, depending on the employees.
But that success though.
If it really is such a pain, why go through with it at all? Why go through the pain that is business ownership? Why would anyone subject themselves to this path for their life. You know exactly why. Which is why you need a business coach. The reasons for why to get your business rolling and why to get some advice on how to keep your business rolling are the same.
So lay down your excuses. You are a small business owner. You already know that excuses will limit your success. You didn’t start a business because you needed a place to deposit more excuses, did you?
