The 8 Signs You Should Hire A Business Coach

As a business owner/founder or c-level executive, you might think you should have everything figured out, but in reality, that isn’t reality. No one has it all figured out. While each of us has our own talents, overall business and leadership skills are usually something you learn along the way.

The worst mistake you can make as a business owner is to think you must have all the answers. Perhaps you went into business because you wanted to control your own destiny. Maybe you were working for someone and thought, I can do this so much better if it were my business. Perhaps you are tired of the toxic environment you were working in and tired of waking up every morning dreading work. Maybe you wanted a better work/life balance. Whatever the case, you launched your business, and I’m sure you hit a few bumps along the way. That’s where an experienced business coach can help.

A business coach oversees and guides an owner/founder or c-Level executive in starting, growing or developing a business. Like a sports coach, a business coach's job is to help you develop the skills and resources you need to succeed. So, the following are signs that will indicate when it’s time for you to hire a business coach:

• You feel overwhelmed
• You need a confidant to talk with about your business challenges
• You know what to do, but don't do it
• When you can't get out of your own way
• Looking for the best way to do things
• You find yourself not willing to listen to others
• When your culture becomes frustrating
• When you want to grow your company
