Written by: Casey Gollan

Article Overview: Business Coach. When you are looking for a business coach, do you know what they can do for your business and what can they do for you, as a person. This article explains the 7 reasons why you need a business coach.

7 Things A Business Coach Will Do For You

Are you a small business owner ready to take your business to the next level? Would you like to increase your turnover? Would you like to go on holidays more often and know that your business is in good hands? Would you like to spend more time on the business rather than in it? If you answered yes to the above, Business Coaching is the answer.

So what does a business coach do? Here are 7 things a good business coach will do for you…

1. Teach you how to become a better business person.
2. Increase your business turnover.
3. Help you employ the right people for your business.
4. Systematise your business so that it can run without you being there.
5. Proven marketing and advertising skills to bring in a constant source of revenue.
6. Help you free up your time so that you can do what you enjoy.
7. How to keep your wealth.


1. Teach You How To Become A Better Business Person

As a Melbourne based Business Coach I'll help you become a better business person by showing you the right way of doing things. He will help you break old habits and create new ways of running your business successfully. He will not do things for you. You will. He will be there to guide and nurture you, so that you can successfully learn how to grow your business.

2. Increase Your Business Profit

Do you know what your hourly, daily, weekly or monthly breakeven point is? Are you working with your bookkeeper/accountant, or are they just giving you your final figures? Do you know how they came up with these figures?

You would be surprised at how many business owners do not know their financials. A good business coach will teach you how and where you need to increase sales and how and where to decrease costs. He will provide you with spreadsheets, etc to help you keep track of your business and watch your business grow.

3. Help You Employ The Right People For Your Business

Are your employees loyal to you? Do they enjoy their ‘job’ and do you enjoy working with them? Do you have concerns about them at all? Like most business owners you will have answered yes.

A business coach will help you recruit the right people for you and your business. He will let you know the secrets of the trade. You can hire the right person, without spending too much money or time using recruitment agencies, who hire the person they think, would be suitable. And generally they are not ideal.

4. Systematise Your Business So That It Can Run Without You Being There

If your number one salesperson or a key member of your admin team left today, what would you do? Most business owners would panic. But a business coach would show you how to systematise your business so if that ever happened you would be in complete control and know things will run smoothly, even if they are no longer there, and without you having to be there. He will show you the correct way of systematising your business and how to find the right person for you.

5. Proven marketing and advertising skills to bring in a constant source of revenue

Do you know who your target market is? Do you know the quick and easy way to get contact information from your leads, without realising how simple it is? Do you know how to get leads onto your web site? A business coach will show you how to get targeted leads, get information from them and keep them as long term loyal customers.

A business coach will also show you the correct way to write your ads and where to place them. He will show you the correct methods for all forms of media – online or off line.

6. Help You Free Up Your Time So That You Can Do What You Enjoy

Would you like to take more than 1 holiday a year and for as long as you want? Would you like to pay cash? Or perhaps you would like to spend more time with your family and watch your children grow up, with you, rather than suddenly realising, how quickly they have grown?

A business coach will help you. He will help you run your business so that you have the option of whether you want to be there or not. You take control and decide if and when you want to work.

7. Show You Safe, Proven ‘Short Cuts’

Business is simple, people complicate it!

There’s many paths you can take in business to be successful. A good business coach will explain many paths that you can take, and you can choose the ones that are right for you.

This will cut down on the time and money that you could possibly waste by learning from ‘trial and error’

Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.

My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2.

Greetings From Destiny's Door - Hi Everyone, Thanks for the invitation to introduce myself. I'm looking forward to being part of the discussions here. I called my business "Destiny’s Door Coaching" because I believe you already have everything it takes to create the business of your dreams. The door to your destiny stands always open. The choice is up to you. I work with Business Women and Entrepreneurs who want to create a life and business that matches their true potential, while still allowing them time to do the things they love most. I support them as they discover how to work smarter and not harder. I coach because I am passionate about seeing women achieve amazing things when they fully accept their own greatness. Business really gives women a great opportunity to express their passions and purpose in a way that also brings financial rewards. I believe you are highly important as the foundation of your business. As you grow and unleash your true potential, you enable your business to do the same. In fact, I'm doing that personally through my own business. I coach women and write articles inviting women to step into greater personal success. As a Certified Life Coach with a Degree in ministry, this is a perfect fit for me. On a personal level, I believe in living fully alive and making the most of every moment. I even have my own Coach! Of course, life is always a work in progress, but I keep moving forward. I do this happily in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of B.C. with my husband and two feline companions. Anyhow, I look forward to meeting you through the forum where we can challenge and inspire each other to really grow towards our full potential. Let’s really commit to creating the businesses of our dreams. I’ll meet you at Destiny’s Door! Warmly, Tami
Business Coaching Internship Review - I joined in during the first phase of the internship and at this point we are committed to doing research and development of RSC Business Group operating in Toronto. RSC Business Group already has products and services in Coaching Small businesses in Los Angeles but we didn't want to assume that the same products were wanted and needed in the Toronto market. Our goal at this point is to commit to interviewing 1000 business owners to capture this data. Through the teleconference internship I've been involved in we've been focusing on Communication Skills and on active listening which are practiced when we conduct our interviews and Coach our clients when they come on board. This is a lot harder than it sounds! Part of the internship is also creating the Toronto RSC Business Group's departments, job descriptions, Marketing and Communication plans etc that a business owner would create for their own company. This trains us in the way we would coach a company as well. The internship is phased in two parts and there is compensation plan involved as well for the clients you personally bring in. These clients are coached directly by Robert Chun as you begin but you are given a chance to learn his techniques. I haven't gone through this experience yet though. It's hard to explain Robert Chun's method of Coaching as it happens at a psychological level in his ability to listen and question the person being coached into the next steps they need to take. The Teleconferences are 2 hours long but it's very interactive. If you have a desire to explore this area of Business I'd recommend contacting Vwodek listed above and get invited to a Coaching Conference call. You can decided then if it's for you. Note: it is a commitment but the skills you walk away with whether you plan on working with RSC Business Group or not is invaluable.
