The Five Benefits of Working with a Business Coach

Posted by Dave Lorenzo - Business Coach

I was giving a speech in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – about 45 minutes north of Miami, Florida –  last week and someone asked me why they should work with a business coach.  Since I don’t think this question is specific to Business Coaching in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Miami, Florida or any specific location, I thought I would share the information with you.

Below are five key benefits of working with a business coach:

When you work with a business coach you will make and keep more money.

What has been holding you back from doubling or even tripling your income?

In most cases we find that the limiting beliefs in the minds of our clients are the major barrier standing between them and the success they truly deserve. Once those limiting beliefs are exposed our clients feel free to aggressively attack the challenges in their business.  Your business coach is free from all of the limiting beliefs that are holding you back.  He/she can help you to understand your true value in the market place.  Armed with this information you can go out and confidently command higher prices.  Let’s face it, you create value for your customers.  They place a dollar amount on that value.  Your business coach will help you understand the premium the market will pay for your services.

Once you are focused on the value you create for your customers you will naturally bring more money to the bottom line.  Your customers are always going to be focused on what they get out of the relationship they have with you.  If you deliver fantastic value for your customers they will not be overly concerned with how much you charge.  This allows you to bring more money to the bottom line.

When you work with a business coach you take action.

How do you currently decide what you do each day?  How would that process differ if someone were holding you accountable to achieving the goals you set for yourself and your business?

Your coach will help you set a strategic plan for the future of your business. You and your coach will then create an action plan that will help you achieve the goals you have set during the planning process.  You will track your progress and your coach will push you.  You will develop aggressive new habits that are action-oriented. 

Coaching forces you to strike a balanced between work and the reason you are working.

Why do you go to work every day?  Is it just to make money or does it fill a deeper need? 

Balance is the key to stimulating creativity.  Working excessive hours and weeks upon weeks at a time is a recipe for stress, illness and burnout.  Your coach will help you look at the big picture.  He/she will help you understand the role that work plays in your life.  You will learn to be intraspective and reflect upon the needs of your life beyond money. 

A business coach will help you make better decisions for yourself and your business. 

Do you have an objective sounding board for discussing big decisions?

Your coach’s only interest is in helping you succeed.  He/she is not a relative.  They are not an investor in your business.  They exist to help you build the business and the life of your dreams.  When you have a big decision to make you need to speak with someone who has a firm grasp of the big picture - as it relates to you.  Since your coach is interested in you first as a person and second as a business owner, he/she can offer objective advice and feedback on your situation.

Working with a coach will help you have a lot more sustainable energy.  

Do you confidently run to your office to aggressively dive into your work?

When you have someone behind you in a supporting capacity you will have more confidence.  As you enjoy more and more success your confidence will grow.  Confidence and momentum will leave you feeling more energized after work each day.  The days will fly by by and you will feel like you can take on the world.

These five benefits are just the tip of the iceberg.  Their are literally dozens and dozens of benefits of working with a business coach.  The only way to find out exactally how much you will benefit from a coaching relationship is to set an appointment to meet with a coach for a free business audit.
