Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast! In this solo episode, Elizabeth breaks down what it's actually like to work with a business coach—and how it's different from hiring a mentor, consultant, strategist, or advisor. She shares her own evolution from brand-new entrepreneur to seasoned coach, walking you through the support systems that helped her scale her business over the years. Whether you're just getting started or you've hired a coach before, this episode is packed with insights on how to get the right support for where you are now. Elizabeth shares what makes coaching transformational (and when mentoring or strategy might be a better fit), plus how she built her own hybrid program to blend it all. If you're wondering what's next for your business or who to turn to, this episode will help you make the right move with clarity and confidence.
