What is an Entrepreneur Coach?

There are many different kinds of coaches who specialize in different niches or areas of expertise.

An Entrepreneur Coach is primarily a business coach but serves as a guide for both business and life challenges. The Entrepreneur Coach is a business leader who uses experience and expertise to help take a client’s business from where it is now to where the business owner wants it to be in the future.

By definition an entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or several businesses. This can mean creating, owning, and operating a small to medium sized business. It can also mean keeping a daytime career while using skills to create another business for additional goals. The definition can also lend itself to the currently essential “Side Hustle” for creating either active or passive income. You can stay in your current job by working with an Entrepreneur Coach to help you create more income even if you are not a self-employed entrepreneur.  

 An Entrepreneur Coach does the following:

1. Compares your skills with your passions and helps you create a future vision either as a lateral career move or can assist and support you in changing career paths.
2. Helps to find ways to maximize your earning potential in all areas of the business by offering proven strategies.
3. Reviews important aspects of your business from an outside perspective and makes recommendations about how to build and expand, diversify, and promote growth.
4. Gives objective counsel, provides resources, identifies weak points and holds you accountable to reach your goals.
5. Provides genuine support to help build your confidence by bringing your ideas or dreams into a reality.

Do I Need Entrepreneur Coaching?

Entrepreneurs are hard wired to take on the world by themselves.  They dig in, work hard, and are determined to be self-made. So why would they need someone to tell them what to do? Isn’t that why they started their own business in the first place, to avoid someone telling them what to do? Possibly.

Entrepreneur Coaches don’t tell you what to do.  They are on your side, they are part of your support team. Coaches provide experience, expertise, resources, support, and much more to help your business get to another level.  They can help you get your brilliant idea off the ground. Experienced coaches have seen businesses grow throughout every stage and know the challenges that come with every step.  

Maybe you’ve always wanted to write a book?  Maybe you are dreaming of a career change?  Perhaps you’ve developed the next life-changing APP and you need help getting it out the world.  Yes, you might be able to handle every aspect of your business by yourself.  Nothing wrong with that.  You might not need to work with a coach.  But a good Entrepreneur Coach with a high level of expertise can really help catapult you to another level.  

Have you ever heard the expression, “The thing you resist the most is the thing you need the most?”.  Some entrepreneurs will never work with a coach because they feel either they know their business better than anyone else or they think they “should” know everything about their business. It can be difficult to swallow some pride and reach out for help. However, entrepreneurs in 2020 are seeing the great value of working with Entrepreneur business coaches. As a result, they are taking advantage of one of the greatest resources at their disposal.

Working with a great Entrepreneur Coach with experience can help you get to next level, get you outside of your comfort zone, hold you accountable, and help drive your success.
