What is coaching?


Business coaching is a relatively new profession that helps business owners to plan better, take better actions and improve their bottom line results.

A recent study by the National Federation of Independent Businesses found that 70% of small business owners turn to spouses or family members for the majority of their business advice - and we know that most small businesses eventually fail!

This is where a business coach comes in. Business coaches meet with the owner on a regular basis for an extended period of time to set goals, create strategy, ensure actions are being taken, provide tools, train the owner and staff, measure results, and refine strategies.
