So,
you’re looking to establish a business. Well, as much as you’d
like to believe you have the talent, your own knowledge still isn’t
enough. Like a rookie boxer looking to be a world champion, you’ll
need a trainer. Someone who can tap into your potential and let it
shine bright.
Looking
for a credible business coach isn’t as complex as the clockwork of
a watch. It’s fairly uncomplicated; just consider these three main
tips.
Is
your potential business coach already successful to begin with?
Frankly, you’ll need someone to look up to, someone you’ll model
your entrepreneurial skills after. You have to want to be like him,
or surpass him. This expert might have had coaching back in the day,
but whatever he has learned from coaching or experience, he must have
earned through hard work and trial and error. In a way, a business
coach is handing down his knowledge and skills to you. Two for the
price of one.
Are
you comfortable with his mentorship style? If you are, he is a
keeper. Choose the one who values you as a student, friend, and
colleague. And even while he is extremely knowledgeable, he would
need to speak clearly and explain logically all that you need to know
so you may understand the concepts behind the actions.
Consider
the nature of your business. Naturally, you choose a coach with a
business that’s perfectly aligned with yours. You wouldn’t want
an IT expert coaching you how to build a fashion store, would you? Of
course not.
