So you're playing with the idea of meeting with a business development coach, but you're not sure if you want to dive headfirst in and commit to a monthly fee or maybe see if you can just get what you need out of a single session. Since you're probably in the early stages of starting your business then you’re most likely trying to get the most bang for your buck in any undertaking that you do. So how do you figure out how to achieve this with getting business coaching?
Honestly, if you’re looking at this type of service as a purchase, then you’re already starting off on the wrong foot. If your goal is to make your business more profitable and efficient, then you need to approach the idea of working with a coach as a sort of ongoing process similar to meeting with a therapist. Granted, there are still a number of people these days who cringe at the idea of meeting with a therapist. So why would I bother putting that example in this article at all? Simple. Meeting with a therapist consists of gradually coming to better understand yourself, the environment in which you exist, and how or why you have taken or should have taken certain actions. There is a large amount of overlap in methodologies between a business coach and a therapist. Albeit completely different categories of rendered services.
Making the decision as to which kind of business development coach to meet with or the frequency in which you would continue to have sessions is an important concept of consideration. But really, it all depends on why you want to meet with a coach in the first place. Are you trying to book a session to just discuss a single topic or decision that you’re having trouble making? Or are you trying to meet with someone to better understand how your decision making paradigm should be in the first place. If you’re someone who’s just looking for a yes/no decision on a topic then you may be just fine with booking a single session with a business development coach and paying by the hour. However, if you’re someone who’s interested in investing in their own personal development in making smart business decisions or wants to learn how to form habits conducive to long-term success, then meeting with a business coach regularly should be an option that you’re open to.
In most cases, the multiple sessions option is the smarter choice. After all, if learning how to run a successful business could be done in a day, then pretty much everyone would be their own boss and there would never have been a need for business coaching in the first place. But since the harsh reality is that most businesses fail within their first two years of opening, then it’s safe to say that there is a great deal of merit to be had when working with a business coach. Aside from the obvious benefits of having access to their advanced levels of experience or success strategies. You also begin to develop an inherent skill-set that comes with talking with one of your newfound peers. You can begin to develop the necessary negotiation skills, comprehensive speech mannerisms, and even learn the nuances of social demeanor when working with a business development coach. This is because we’re all social creatures, and as such, we will inevitably have parts of our character be affected by those we interact with and the environment that we place ourselves in. So setting up regular intervals to purposefully place yourself in a professional environment to have high level discussions about important business matters meant to push your business forward towards success will make you seem as though you’re more comfortable in that type of environment. This will actually begin to help you develop an innate level of entrepreneurial confidence that will carry over into many different facets of your life, but probably most importantly, it will directly affect your ability to negotiate new business relationships and close deals. A confident leader in a business translates to a business that is worth having confidence in.
