FINDING THE RIGHT BUSINESS COACHING PROFESSIONAL INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS DRAMATICALLY By: Dave Turkin Nationally Recognized Business Leader and Business Development Consultant

usiness Coaching is a power-play most companies do not consider. The question is why? For some it challenges their ego, “This is my company and I know how to make all the right decisions”! They should end that statement with the words, “No matter what”. If their right decisions turn out to be not so right they can possible lose their company or experience huge financial losses. The sad part about that is they generally blame the failure on any or everyone else except where the buck stops here. There is the other business professional who hears the word business coaching professional and it lights up a little gleam in their eye. They just did not think about using that approach to help confirm their goals and success strategies. Mr. Business man, hiring a business consultant with excellent coaching skills and a respected strategist in your field of business WHO reviews your business plan and success strategies is a good idea. Let me rephrase that, “It is a very good idea”. We all would like to be perfect but once we do a reality check we have to look at our strengths and our weaknesses. If our goal is to be successful in our business venture then as the old phrase goes, “Two eyes are always better than one”. With that phrase in mind, enter the coaching professional. His goal is to assist, review and together with you identify the holes and strengths in your business plan including short and long term goals. If you find the right Coach he will work with you to keep your company on track and on the dollar. The right coaching professionals will create a partnership between the two of you. Business coaching is about preparing you for your business now and for the future. It’s about helping you define or redefine your goals and most important creating the path to achieving them. You know your business better than anyone else, but a professional business coach will help you focus and stay focused on growing your business and reaching your goals. This is why my company Accessible Business takes a goal-oriented approach to business coaching. It isn’t always about the larger picture but instead having a clear vision of what the big picture looks like will help you map out a plan of action. When we get into the day to day operations of your business small picture and big picture are both important. Most business coaches focus on the larger aspects and say, “We can assist you with your overall goals”. Great but passing on the daily footsteps of what makes a business grow leaves room for mistakes. Small mistakes become big problems in a short amount of time.
