I'm talking all about what to consider before hiring a business coach. Now, this might sound kind of funny coming from me since I am a business coach, but I have realized a lot of stuff from being a coach and from being coached.

I'm wondering if any of you have had a coach or been a coach before. Maybe you remember having a coach when playing a sport in your adolescence, that coach was always there to push you, motivate you, and show you what you're capable of doing. That's what any good coach should do.

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss

Hiring a business coach is a big investment and when picking your coach there are a few things to look for. You should be able to see proof of who they are and proof of their work with others. Look at their style and personality to ensure it aligns with what you want. Check to see how their customer service is and how responsive they are before beginning to work with them. And lastly, can you tell that they will care about you and your business? Before giving anyone your credit card think about these things.

This is episode 149 of Bella in Your Business. Welcome to Bella in Your Business, where I discuss anything and everything about your pet sitting business to help you land on target. So get ready — I’ve got your chute. Let’s jump.

Welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. My name is Bella Vasta, and today I am going to talk to you all about what you should consider before hiring a business coach. Now, this might sound funny coming from me because I am a business coach. I help give people the right plays to execute on the field of business and then cheer them on from the sidelines. But I have realized a lot of stuff as I have been a coach and as I’ve been coached, and today I want to dive into that really deep and really kind of discuss what that means for you.

I’m wondering if you guys have ever had a coach before, or maybe if you’ve ever been a coach. Maybe you remember back in your adolescence when you played some kind of organized team sport and you had a coach there who motivated you, pushed you, guided you, directed you, led you, showed you what you were capable of and what you could do. And that’s truly what I think any coach should do. But it’s a very scary thing because most coaches, if they’re worth it, are going to be a pretty significant investment in yourself. In a previous podcast, I talked about the difference between spending and an investment, and it really is an investment in yourself. You definitely could have some wrong investments, right?

I’m going to share a couple of personal stories with you, and then I’m going to get into five different things you should consider before hiring a coach. I remember a couple of years ago when I really wanted to get someone else in my business — all up in my business, if you will. There was this person that I followed, and they had a very similar outlook on faith and business building and personality as me. I actually felt like I was talking to a long-lost twin because they were just as excited and animated as I was, which was really important to me.

I like it when people can get excited and I can feed off their energy as well as them feeding off mine. They also had built something that I admired, so I decided to join their mastermind. Their mastermind was great. It was slow building.
