6 Mistakes That Derail Your Success When Hiring a Business Coach

You may have heard the statistic that 50% of businesses fail in less than five years. Studies have shown that, of those that failed, over 70% never had a plan or asked for any help.

New business owners often try to figure everything out on their own because they have excellent technical skills and great communication skills and maybe even an advanced college education.

They have a false believe they already have enough knowledge to build a business alone, but they were never taught the skills they need to succeed as an entrepreneur.

And they don’t even know the right questions to ask. It’s a new experience. How could they know?

That was my story! I had a college degree in finance and over a decade of experience in corporate management and accounting roles when I started my first business…a QuickBooks bookkeeping and consulting firm. But I still had NO IDEA how to run my business in the beginning. I needed help. So I hired a business coach and learned how to grow my business over the next twelve years. I successfully scaled it to the point where I was able to sell it!

Now, I am a business coach helping other entrepreneurs build their own profitable and enjoyable businesses.
