Is it time to hire a business coach? Check some of these signs and situations.

1. You’re new in the business.

Since there are several skills to learn, plans to create and strategies to develop, your business coach will ensure that all the skills, money, time, and effort you invest in your new business will pay off.

When you’ve tried every tip and strategy or every means to achieve your business goals, but you still haven’t gained traction. Or worse, you’re going backwards. It can be frustrating not to see growth. You might also feel stuck when you start to lose money or sales.
Having an outside perspective can be a huge help. A business coach can help bring objectivity to your current situation. Your coach can lessen your frustration, help you develop realistic plans, keep you focused, and get your confidence back.

3. Everything is happening at once.
Great if you’re in this situation. You’re business seems to be growing. Still, not being prepared or experienced in handling this growth can choke you. A business coach can assist you with being in control of the situation to ensure that you have the right system, skills, and strategies to support this growth.

4. You’ve lost that “lovin’ feeling.”
You seem to have forgotten your dreams, passion, and why you started your business in the first place. If your priorities have changed along the way or been lost, a business coach can keep you on track.

5. You need to make a big decision.
You feel like you’re at a crossroads. Perhaps you’re asking questions like, “Do I need to hire employees or outsource?” or “Is it better to invest in digital signage or advertise online?”  There are several options to choose from, pros and cons to consider, and a lot more. You need to make sure that the choices and decisions you make are clear. Your business coach can help you sort all those options, so you can see what’s important in your business and in your life. The pressure will decrease and you will have someone backing you up in making a powerful decision.

6. You’re getting overwhelmed.
Being a business owner – doing and handling everything – can really be daunting. You’re doing it all as fast as you can, without taking time to stop or take a breather. When it seems that your head is cluttered and you have lost focus on your plans and visions, then it’s really time to hire a business coach.

7. You don’t know where to start.
Projects, tasks, and plans seem to overflow. Time has been a constraint and deadlines are too tight. Or maybe you’re always experiencing an early Monday morning rut. Through your business coach, you can sort things out, start the day out well, and find ways to take a different approach.

8. You’re ready to take a giant leap.
