One of the first steps I took when I decided to become a business coach was to hire a coach for me. His name is Samy and I’ve been working with him for about three years. In my start up days, just like most businesses, my cash flow was limited.Paying for a business coach seemed like an extravagance. I remember one of the things that Samy said in those early days that’s stuck with me. He said that, “ having a business coach is one of the most inexpensive business partners you’ll ever have”. In addition, business coaches don’t have a vested interest in your business like real partners. Their only interest is in your well being and the well being of your company. Plus, you don’t have to share the profits with your biz coach. And last but DEFINITELY not least…when your relationship with your business coach needs to take a pause or feels complete, there are no legal strings attached. So next time you hear someone questioning the cost of a coach, think about what Samy said.

If you’re ahead of me on the learning curve, sit back and have a good laugh - maybe even clue me in if I’m really missing the boat. Read full article >
