We are often asked, “For how long will I need a business coach?”
We counter this question with another: “For how long does a professional athlete require a sports coach?”
Just like in sports, in business you choose the level at which you play the game.
To achieve peak performance, you need training. And no matter what field you’re in, the principles of coaching remain the same.
In sports, a coach pushes an athlete to achieve optimum performance, provides support when they are exhausted and teaches the athlete to execute plays that their competition does not anticipate.
A sports coach will make you run more laps and make you worker harder than you would on your own, even when you don’t feel like it. A sports coach will tell it like it is and they will listen.
A Business Coach does many of the same things, but in a way that is focused on creating a successful business.
The role of a Business Coach is to coach business owners to succeed through guidance, support, accountability and encouragement.
Business coaching helps owners of small and medium sized businesses with their sales, marketing, management, team building and so much more. Most importantly, just like a sporting coach, your Business Coach will make you focus on the game.
Three essential aspects to sports and business success include:
1. Mindset
Elite athletes know that their belief in their ability is critical to their success. We ensure you develop the right beliefs, identity, and habits to reach your business goals.
2. Skills and Tactics
Just like a sports coach, we teach you how to play your best game. Our proven strategies and tools help business owners take their performance to the next level.
3. Training
Education and knowledge alone don’t guarantee business success. Just as a coach ensures an athlete uses correct techniques and trains at optimal levels, we ensure business owners implement the best strategies for them, in the right way, and often enough, to get great results.
The relationship between sports coaching and business coaching is best summed up in this insightful quote by Robert Kiyosaki:
“Professionals have coaches. Amateurs do not.”
