Importance Of Having A Business Coach For Your Business

Business coaching is all about supporting a business in “raising their game” and “taking the next step” - perhaps by increasing profitability, enhancing the competitive edge, creating the ideal conditions for the business’ long-term success and raising the business profile.
As an entrepreneur, you like to do your own thing. But going at it alone is not always the best idea.

A coach is typically someone that you hire to support you with a specific issue or project, and sometimes for a specified amount of time. Coaching is a set of skills that enable the coach to observe and analyse your attitude, skills and behaviour and to provide you with an objective perspective in order to enable you to develop and grow. It's not compulsory for a business coach to have experience in the business or to have own and run such a business.
Business coach should not be confused for a business mentor.

A mentor is someone who has specific skills and experience in the area you want to develop and a business mentor is someone who has owned, developed, or run a successful business and has demonstrated that they have the skills required to succeed. Anyone in this position will have had failings a well as successes and it is their ability to turn a failing into a success that makes their input into your business so valuable.

High performers in any field typically have a coach or mentor. A great coach provides you with the benefit of their experience and asks more questions than they answer. They force you to think about your business in ways that you wouldn’t do on your own.

Your business coach is also the person you go to for perspective at a point of crisis.
Here are the reason why every business including SMEs need a business coach.
 

Not Making Enough Profit

Have you been in business for a few years and your business is now stagnant? Are you making a profit, but going nowhere? A business coach will teach you how to turn your business around and how to take your business to the next level. Even when you are making profit, you need a coach that can help you to start making far greater profit and stay afloat and ahead of competition.

What a business coach will teach you will apply not just to one business, but to all your businesses. You can apply the principles you learn to any business you own.

 Prioritise Your (Business) Needs First

As a business owner it’s easy to put your customers, clients and even your family ahead of your own needs. This is especially evident as a solopreneur or freelance who single-handedly keeps the business going.

A business coach will help you prioritize your business in a way that will enable it to be successful, without sacrificing the other parts of your life, including your mental and physical health.

Additionally, you could even work with your coach to seamlessly integrate your work into your life. With the technology available today, you have no excuse not to take care of yourself so you can give the best to your business and those around you.

To Keep You Accountable

A business coach will keep you accountable for your business and what you should be doing to grow you business. He will be there to guide you each step of the way, while you put what you learn into practice. He will not do it for you. You will be.

A Shoulder To Bounce Things Off

It can be lonely running your own business. You need someone that can answer your questions on all parts of your business and can help you bounce ideas and give you instructions and can look outside the square and give you a different perspective.

A business coach is like a silent partner. A partner who has a financial interest in the business, but you get to keep the rewards.

Hold Your Hand In The Step-By-Step Process Of Growing Your Business

Sometimes in business, you get to the point where you are a bit unsure of what to do next. You feel like you want to hit your head against a brick wall.

A business coach is like a guardian angel. He is there for you every step of the way guiding you with a helping hand.

Finding The Right People For Your Organisation

A business coach will help you find the right people for you and your business. He will let you know the secrets of the correct way to recruit and how to attract the right people. You can use a recruitment agency, but they will hire the person they think would be suitable. And generally, they are not ideal.
A business coach will help you find the ideal person.



In conclusion, large businesses and SMEs need to use business coaches because they help the business to build resilience and better manage the rate of change; to transform into a continuously improving and learning organisation for future performance; to support the business leader get out of their people’s way to allow them make better decisions; to support the SME to run profitably without personnel having to chase the leadership for each and every individual decision.
