Where can I find a business coach?

T,

What kind of business coach are you looking for ?

How long are you looking to have them Coach you ?

What are your expectations of a Coach ?

What are you willing to put into coaching from a personal level ?

What is your budget ? This can make a huge difference cost vs time vs quality ?

How big is your buisness ? Web based ? Employees ? Approximate annual Gross sales ?

I could go on and on, if you could be a lot more specific in what it is your looking for not only could i respond better, but others will likely give you a lot better insight.
For Example- I coach 2 clients a month, if they fit my demographic, and can afford to pay in a timely manner. My Best friend is a Multi-Millionaire Coach and takes on 1 client per month, but that client is paying close to 25k a month. I have another friend who is a business coach only to companies or individuals who generate more than 5 million annual sales minimum.

Let me know, or let us know with a few more specifics.

Yes and no. A successful business is comprised of an intertwined network of systems. Its important that your coach know what your business is about if he or she is going to help you. Not all systems work for all businesses.

If I'm going to help you I need to know what your business is, where its at now (both your evaluation of it and mine) and where you want it to be in a designated point in time (your goals).

The only way to help a business is to evaluate its present systems - fine tune, eliminate or recreate them and set up benchmarks for determining efficiency and success. All that requires knowledge of the business.


This doesn't sound like you are looking for a coach. Its sounds like you are looking for an employee. If you hire a coach you need to be prepared to do what they say. After all if you had all the answers you wouldn't need a coach.

Trust is a big part of this type of relationship. Questioning every move or tactic may not produce the best working environment.

In defense of coaches - its not easy to get results for someone if they are always questioning your methods. Some people have a self defeating attitude that sets themselves up for failure. It just so happens that the coach is the one who gets blamed.
Its like being on a bad date with someone who has had their heart broken. They want to be on the date but they have one foot out the door incase anything goes wrong. Of course having one foot out the door sets the date up for disaster so then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

To be successful, either doing it by yourself or with a coach takes the right attitude. Luckily with a coach there is someone to give you a kick or push in the right direction but ultimately its your actions that make it a success or not.

I see this all the time with the coaching students I have. Some are very motivated but most need to be pushed and poked to accomplish their tasks. Where is your mind set right now?
I guess thats something you'll have to ask yourself before you hire a coach.
