How to tell when you need a coach

Are you a solopreneur or small business owner?

Are you finding that the process of building and creating a business can be both exciting and daunting at the same time?

It feels like this because the whole process of building a business is about change. More specifically, growth and learning. It can become a frustrating and difficult process when you are navigating this journey alone. The important thing is to recognise when you are needing support.

Whether you’re you’re just starting out and need to create a sense of direction, or, if you’re ready to take your business to the next level, there are specific signs that indicate you need a coach.

I’ve tracked the most common scenarios that lead to clients reaching out for coaching and I’d like to share them with you here. If you can relate to any of these scenarios, you you definitely benefit from coaching:

1. You feel overwhelmed or stressed about your business
The main causes of overwhelm and stress relate to how you manage your mind and how you manage your time. Your coach can help you develop specific strategies to address this issue and work with you on managing your mindset to reduce overwhelm and stress.

2. You don’t have a written vision, written goals and a plan for your business
You need the big picture for your business defined in a business vision as well as a written set of goals with a specific plan to achieve them. Your coach can work with you and provide resources that assist you in this goal-setting process.

3. You’re so busy and don’t see how you can keep managing it all
If you feel like you have no time, then you should definitely seek outside help. Your coach has an “outside” perspective which can help you see your way through this. Together you can implement a time management plan to get on top of things once again.

4. You feel like you’re doing it all alone and need some support/feedback/someone to keep you on track
It’s SO much easier having someone to talk to about your business. Imagine if you had someone whose job it is is to listen and support you, someone who will help you keep on track and be the sounding board you need. This is what your coach can do for you.

5. You haven’t defined your values and the purpose of your business
If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, you can end up with motivational challenges the moment you hit a bump in the road. Additionally you need to understand your personal values and confidently know that they align with your business goals. This ensures that you’re creating the life you truly want, not just the business you want. Your coach can help you define your values and keep you focused on your purpose.
