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
