The Visionary Files

Do You Need a Coach, Consultant, Service Provider, or Employee?


Listen Later

My Least Favorite Thing to See on the Internet is when a business coach posts something about how they were able to grow their business (or what they’d be doing if they had to start over again) – and inevitably –  they say, “Hiring the coach is the thing that made ALL THE DIFFERENCE.”

I call BS on that. 

Coaches coaching coaches to be coaches on the internet gives alllllll kinds of MLM vibes. 

This episode will help you avoid that altogether – and advise you on what you need to think about instead if you are considering what kind of support to seek out for your growing business. 

And, clearly…I have very strong feelings about this topic! (Who’s shocked? Oh no one?)

Quick overview of what we cover: 

  • How, on the wild streets of the internet, these terms are used interchangeably (and why that drives me bonkers)
  • How to identify what type of support you *actually* need as you grow
  • What the important differences are between coaches, consultants, mentors, service providers, and employees
  • What specific questions you need to be asking if you’re just starting out (under $100k/yr), when your  ONLY job is to learn how to sell and market (and how to get your brain on board with both)
  • How those questions require a mindset shift towards systems, team, and operations when you’re growing
  • What types of support come from a place of privilege and what come from a place of necessity
