How A Business Coach Can Help Entrepreneurs According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach

Written by: Glenn Ebersole

Article Overview: In the United States there are over 250,000 new small businesses started each year. Entrepreneurs start many of these businesses. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners are highly skilled, very intelligent and highly motivated. They love a challenge and are willing to take risks. In my business coaching practice I have also found that the majority of the entrepreneurs that are clients have had no formal business education. In other words, they typically have had no training in running a business. And so, they start their businesses and things start to go in the wrong direction. It is not uncommon for them to experience many problems and challenges, which provide the opportunities for assistance from business coaching. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach shares how entrepreneurs can be helped by business coaching.

How A Business Coach Can Help Entrepreneurs According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach

In their United States there are over 250,000 new small businesses started each year. Entrepreneurs start many of these businesses. Entrepreneurs and small business owners start their businesses usually for one of the following reasons:
+ they are tired of working for someone else
+ they want to become financially independent
+ they want to create a better lifestyle for them and their families
+ they are tired of working for a company with no vision
+ they are in a “dead end” job
+ they are seeking more balance in their work & personal life

Michael Gerber, author of the “E-Myth” and “The E-Myth Revisited” writes extensively about entrepreneurs and the starting up of their businesses and the challenges they face. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners are highly skilled, very intelligent and highly motivated. They love a challenge and are willing to take risks. In my business coaching practice I have also found that the majority of the entrepreneurs that are clients have had no formal business education. In other words, they typically have had no training in running a business. And so, they start their businesses and things start to go in the wrong direction. It is not uncommon for them to experience any or all of the following:
+ they cannot find new clients and customers
+ they lose existing clients and customers
+ they realize and admit they love doing the work, but hate marketing to get the work
+ they feel alone and not sure where to seek help
+ they work in the business, but do not work on the business
+ they are being overwhelmed by the business

Well, it is precisely these experiences and more that provide a great opportunity
to seek business coaching to turn things around in their business. A business coach will help them by:
+ providing them with an independent and objective sounding board
+ providing independent and objective coaching based on the business coach’s experience and professional training
+ providing some sound strategic thinking and planning coaching
+ providing assistance to get them to focus their time, energy & resources
+ providing a realistic assessment of their various business situations
+ providing coaching on how to strategically market their business
+ providing potential referrals to other resources for assistance
+ telling them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear
+ assisting them in developing goals and objectives and creating a strategic action plan
+ holding them accountable

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.
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

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. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
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.
