Why Female Entrepreneurs Shouldn’t Pay Everything Upfront For A Business Coach

If you’re a?female entrepreneur?and serious about scaling and growing your business, you’ve probably given thought to hiring a business coach. Enlisting the support of an expert to guide you through the ins and outs of business will serve to help you achieve your goals much quicker.

According to?Forbes, “effective coaching absolutely has the ability to transform your business, but sadly, most business coaching has devolved into half-baked entrepreneur therapy sessions.”

For example, in the US, there are?over 53,000 business coaches, as totaled by the International Coach Federation. With so many out there who call themselves “business coach,” how do you know which one is right for you? And how will you know if they can really help you?

So if you’re looking for a?business coach for female entrepreneurs, you will need to do some discerning and verifying.

Look for a business coach who gets you

When you’re looking for a business coach who is right for you, you shouldn’t just look up?how much does a business coach cost.?More than?business coach pricing, What really matters is the connection you and your potential coach have. Do you click? Do her style and program suit your needs? Do you think you’ll like working together long term?

If not, no matter how low the?business coach hourly rate?is, you will never get your money’s worth. Not only that, you’ll have wasted not just money but your precious time as well.

Avoid Scams

If a business coach promises you what you want to hear, be careful. If a coach tells you you’ll make a lot of money quickly, and that it will be easy––these are telltale signs that this can be a scam.

Some people believe this because they want to take a shortcut, but it just doesn’t work like that. As a female entrepreneur, I’m sure you know by now that growing your business is a lot of hard work. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or is trying to trick you.

Things to Check for in a Business Coach

?Before paying for a?business coach for female entrepreneurs, see if they tick off the following characteristics in this list:

• Aside from the testimonials that they have, they have proven themselves credible and trustworthy to you.
• They have some kind of warranty or refund policy.
• They match your values or mindset
• Also, they are objective and straightforward. They don’t always tell you what you want to hear.
• They are able to hold you accountable.
• Again they are able to admit their own failures.
• They lead by example and have significant experience in what they’re teaching.
• They invest in themselves by continuing to learn through trainings.

What do I do as a Business Coach for Women?

I never ask for all the money upfront for my coaching. Instead, I offer installments and, for six-month contracts, I allow monthly payments.

In my entire career as a business coach for women, I have only had two times that women wanted to quit, and I let them. I did not want to continue working with them either because they were not willing to put in the work required.

I have spoken to too many women who have paid their hard-earned money to a business coach and their business is still not a success. If you want business coaching to be effective, you must remember that it is a collaboration between two people. Most of what I do is one-on-one because then I can create a unique approach for each client.
