What Can A Small Business Coach Do For You?

November 23, 2009

A small business coach can not only bring new business ideas to your business, but many business owners find other benefits as well. A recent survey indicated that business owners found that coaches were very valuable 70% of the time and valuable 28.5% of the time. The survey was conducted by Amy Watson, a principle, with PROfusion Public Relations.

Other statistics show that 84.8% of those surveyed felt that the main role of a business coach was to be a sounding board while 78.1% felt that the main role was as a motivator. My clients frequently tell me that I keep them focused and moving forward. For more than 20 years, as a small business coach, I have found the biggest issue for many owners is time management. Finding enough time to manage their business.

While this may not be new business ideas, most business owners do not know how to organize their business so that they can delegate with predictability. This means getting someone else to perform tasks with a certain amount of success. If you can’t delegate, you will always be stuck doing it all yourself. That’s an absolute trap for many small business owners.

How do you spend your time on a daily basis? Do you find yourself doing day to day tasks that could easily be delegated? Do you feel that you need to do everything? If you’re in that mindset, you have a job, not a business. If you’re going to change, you may need to get the help of a small business coach.
