Top 10 Reasons Why You Need a Coach or Mentor
Top 10 Reasons Why You Need a Coach or Mentor
The economy may be slower than we’d like, however, this is the time when people are more creative about working with others and services may be more affordable. Jump on the opportunity to work with a coach and mentor – I hope you’ll choose me – and get ready to kick off the academic year with a bang. Here are some things a coach can offer you, should you take that step.
1. Keeps you accountable and on track. It’s easy as an entrepreneur to blow off what we don’t have to report to someone – even ourselves. In the end though, it only hurts us and our business. Having a coach keeps you on track to reach the goals you set for yourself.
2. No man (or woman) is an island. I know I’ve preached this to all of you before, but I don’t do it all alone and neither should you. You’ll be amazed at when you begin to outsource the non-revenue producing items that are necessary for your business to run, but take up too much of your time – you’ll flourish. Allow me to walk you through how I do it and how other successful business owners do the same.

3. Helps you to focus on the important things. I mean this in life and in work. Balance is necessary, if you’re going to have a successful business. You need time to regenerate and renew yourself in order to create new ideas, products and services to better serve your prospects and clients – and make friends with family and friends as well.
4. You become more organized and productive. Having to check in on a regular basis with someone outside your organization, forces you to get organized and driven to check off some of those items you may be procrastinating on your to-do list. This alone saves you a tremendous about of money and allows you to make more money too. I promise – it will be FUN, as well.
5. You have an objective sounding board in a lonely world of being an entrepreneur – especially a solo-preneur. Consider this therapy for the business owner. I’m here to listen and offer constructive feedback, suggestions and yes, pose a few questions to get you thinking about how to move your business to the next level. It’s painless, believe me and you’ll feel better after each group session.
6. You’ll be a better help to your client as a benefit of coaching. When you’re being coached, it’s like magic – you become a better consultant and advisor to your clients. There’s something in the process of receiving objective feedback that provides you with the desire and skill set to do the same for your clients. Remember, the more they know like and trust you, the more business they’ll want to do with you as well.
7. Helps you to implement what you learn. Because you’re accountable to an outside source, you are more motivated to implement what you learn and take action. When you do this, you become more successful and visible in your clients and prospects minds.
8. Less stress when you’re working with someone who has your interests at heart and understands the plight of the entrepreneur. When you have someone to discuss your ups and downs with in business, it alleviates the stress of business ownership. You’ll get sound advice with an understanding of what you’re going through from someone who has been there, done that. Take a breath and let it out and be open to problem solving together.
9. Access to invaluable resources and professional contacts. Here’s where the rubber really meets the road. If I knew then, what I know now and had the resources, vendors, colleagues that I have access to today – I would have gotten here much more quickly than it’s taken me. With my coaching you have access to all that and more. Lucky you!
10. A cheerleader who is driven by hearing and learning of your success and will spread the word on your behalf as well. There is nothing that gives me greater pleasure than to hear and learn about your successes. Without that, I wouldn’t do this. For those of you who know me well, know that I am a true “connector” and will always introduce you to someone I know can help and vice versa. I love listening to you toot your horn – if I don’t hear it, I’ll make special request!
