Why business coaching works!

On several occasions, lately I was asked the question “Do you believe that Business Coaching Works?”

I surely do but even more importantly why do I believe this? Let me give you the 4 great reasons why I believe it works … and yes, they are as I believe it to be with my clients.

1: Business Coaching Helps You Make More Money

Working with a business coach will make me more money! Yes! Working with a professional coach will ensure that your business performs better. Therefore,  you, as the business owner, will benefit from it.

When I start working with a new coaching client. It is important to get an understanding and alignment on what the end goal is. What does the business owner truly want to achieve in the next 3 to 5 years ? Is it to get the business ready to sell? Or is it to create a level of income to support a desired lifestyle?

A reputable coach will help you work through the clutter and establish real financial goals. Once they are achieved it will ensure that there is real money in the business. When sales grow and we maintain our gross margin targets, the business is a fun place to work in!

2. Business Coaching Brings Focus

In a world where we run from one crisis to the next and where most business owners are working IN their businesses most of the time. The business coaching process is a great way of ensuring that prioritize the actions that must be taken. Therefore, ensuring that the company moves ahead.

Dissecting the urgent and important and then the most important strategies to 3 to 5 priorities and understanding which is the ONE that really matters. This creates a level of focus that business owners normally don’t have.

As Gary Keller puts it in The One Thing: “What’s the ONE THING I can do and by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

Business coaching helps you to truly understand this and ensure you take massive action.

3. Business Coaching Creates Accountability

So, who is the business owner truly accountable to?

Yes, who challenges you when things are not going as planned and when you have not played in our terms above the line. Where you take responsibility and accountability for the business results?

This is once again a reason why business coaching works.

There is someone who on a regular, perhaps even on a weekly basis, holds up the mirror and holds you accountable. This will help you to reflect on the results achieved and action taken and why there is a variance in results. When there is accountability and we focus on the results we want to achieve in our lives and thus in business, we will see massive results!

There will be 52 steps in a year that are taken one week at a time …. need I say more?

4. Business Coaching Clarifies Your Why

Getting clarity on your passion and why you are doing all the hard work helps you. This will develop a deeper level of understanding of what your WHY is? Living your dream makes the work you do daily really FUN and every day at work can truly be living your calling.

It’s important to understand that your personal goals with regards to wealth, property, family, health, faith and other areas of life are interlinked and unless there is a strong enough why you will not achieve these goals.

In his book, Simon Sinek – Start With Why states that “people don’t buy what you do they buy why you do it.”

That’s another benefit, as truly understanding your why will give you a real passion for what you do and it will make selling your products and services that much easier. It will truly show your passion and will help you connect with potential customers on a much deeper level.
