Such a fun episode this week!
Kathleen is so full of life, love and energy – you are going to LOVE it. The topic is how to find the perfect business coach for you, and as one herself, Kathleen has some spot-on insights that are sure to help you through this important decision.

WHAT WE COVER IN TODAY’S EPISODE
The Key to Discovering the Perfect Fit
Start paying attention where you hang out. Keep a lookout in Facebook Groups and listen to who your friends are talking about. Following the scent towards the right person for you is the most natural and direct way to do it.
Deciding on the right person
Most coaches offer a ‘Discovery Call’ before you book a package with them. Make sure to ask if they can actually coach you during that call.
If they require a one-off call, do it, because you’ll get a sense of how you’ll work together on a more personal level.
What to look for
A good coach will help you create clear concise measurable objectives & specific strategies to achieve those. Here are a couple examples of clear objectives…
When you should hire one
When is a good time for a beginner entrepreneur to hire a coach?
…before you even invest in a website! A coach will help you identify what’s important to you. A coach needs to meet you where you are, and will help you craft a comfortable approach. IE, maybe you don’t even want to be on Facebook, or on video?
When you shouldn’t
Not if you’re hoping they’re going to be the answer to all your problems. They aren’t going to ‘change your world’ without your effort. Your problems won’t vanish without you putting in the work.
Coaches are also good when you’re on the upswing, even if you’re already having success. The right fit for you will help amplify your results.
How long should you meet for?
It really depends where you’re at with your business. It could be 1 session or even 6 months. Sometimes 3 months isn’t enough if you’re just starting to hit your stride though.
The faster you’re willing to do the work and implement the actions, the quicker you’ll see the payoff.
