A couple of months ago I hired a business coach.
It felt extravagant — something that people like me don’t do. Too much money to spend all at once for help that the little voice at the back of my mind told me I shouldn’t have needed. I had to push through my own feelings of who do you think you are to pull the trigger.
But I did need the help and I had the resources, so I took a deep breath and put on my brave pants and went for it.
Three months into a one year program, I’m super happy I did. In large part because I’ve figured out some things that I’ll carry with me going forward that will let me be my own business coach.
Not only that, but the things I’ve learned will help me coach myself through non-business stuff as well. Forever.
My dad always taught me that the value of education is that it teaches you how to learn.
Here are two things I’ve learned from my business coach that I’ll never stop doing for myself going forward — and that I think you could do if you wanted to be your own coach. Business or otherwise.
