Coaching in Business



Coaching in Business
   

Coaching in business!? Now we’ve all heard of a coach, in terms of a football team, an athlete or even a swimmer, but for a business owner, that’s a new one! But as business moves into the new millennium, and with the rapid expansion of the communication and IT industry, it is becoming evident that the world doesn’t seem as big.

Markets are becoming global and competition is increasing as consumers have greater choice. More and more business owners are looking for that edge or the fine tuning that can make the difference in their businesses. They are looking outside their normal resources for the information and guidance they realize is needed, for them to develop and educate themselves and grow their own businesses. In business you’re either growing or you’re dying and a business will only grow to the level of it’s owner’s knowledge or beliefs. So the business owners who succeed, are those who look to increase their own knowledge and prepare to accept changes in the way they think.

To further emphasize this point let’s look at the different levels of thinking in business. Firstly we have employees, thinking “how much do I get paid?” then the managers “how can I get more out of my staff?” The next level is being “self” employed and their thinking is… you guessed it “only I can do the job properly!” The next level is a business owner who thinks “how can I get more money from this business?” taking them from working “in” their businesses to working “on” their business. This “leap” does involve a change in thinking and in this process of change, having a coach or mentor is a valuable ingredient. The final level is the illusive entrepreneur “how can I make more

money with the money I have?” These are of course general concepts, but it shows that in business and in life you can achieve much more, being open to learning, change and the assistance of others. The most successful of people are the ones who realize this and seek all three in earnest.

What separates elite athletes from average athletes with great potential? Only their thought processes, techniques, motivation and of course a fantastic coach. Sure to be a top athlete you would already have these, but it’s getting there, maintaining it and constantly seeking to improve for that edge over the competition, that makes a winner.

Jim Rohn’s quote, “Never wish the job were easier, wish you were better!” says it all.

Business is simple, people are complicated and changing your business can be the easy part, changing yourself and your team can be the greatest hurdle. Having a business coach helps you maintain your motivation, refine your skills, gain constructive feedback and attain constant improvement in your business
