Hiring a coach could be one of the smartest investments in personal development. 

This episode discusses some objections to hiring a coach and the counterpoints. 

1. Skepticism of the benefits or need
   1. It is good to be skeptical. Let’s dive into some of your other objections to hiring a coach. 
2. Cost
   1. Highlight the value of the coaching
   2. Address specific concerns
   3. Customer testimonials
   4. Money back guarantee
3. The time commitment
   1. Technology allows us to coach from a distance
   2. Prioritize your schedule, and the time will be well spent.
   3. Focus on the benefits of your time
4. Fear of change
   1. It’s normal to have anxiety and a fear of change
   2. Set clear goals on what you want to get from the coaching sessions
   3. Take small steps and allow yourself grace when you fall short
   4. Lean in and embrace the discomfort. Growth comes from uncomfortable situations.
   5. Trust the process. Coaching is a collaborative process that will require trust and openness. Trust that the coach you hire will help you achieve your goals, and be open to feedback. 
5. Perception of weakness
   1. There was a time that people might consider hiring a coach or counselor to mean that you are weak. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Kobe Bryant. Michael Jordan. Venus Williams. They will go down as some of the greats of this generation because of coaching and the trust they put into the coaches they retained. 
6. A lack of trust
   1. It is natural to be skeptical and question if a coach is trustworthy.
   2. Do your research. Look for coaches that specialize in the field that interests you.
   3. Set up a consultation with the coach. 
   4. Be honest and upfront with the coach. Goals. Fears. Expectations. 
   5. You get out of coaching what you put into it. 
   6. Be patient. Rome wasn’t built overnight. Commit to six months and perform routine check-ins on progress
