I ran across the practice of using a business coach about 6 months ago when my wife joined a new firm. Her new boss went so far as to have an entire advisory board. The board consisted of 3 or 4 people that had different skill sets and experiences that complimented the business very well. Since that time I have talked with business owners and executives and have found that the idea of a coach could be quite beneficial to an owner or team that feels stagnant or unable to look outside the box. Here is an article (Coaching for Small Business Owners ) that Phil Yanov of GSATC tweeted about yesterday. The article goes on in some detail about the overall benefits of a business coach and emphasizes how it is important to find a coach that will be best for a particular business situation. If you are a business owner that is innovative and wants to "think outside the box", then this article will spark the ideas that will grow and benefit your company.

Many of the people who decide to start small businesses will be people who are tired of working 9 to 5 jobs and who would like to take a break. These individuals will have no experience in running an organization. This is where business mentors come into picture. They help them in organizing their and running it successfully.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree. Having a mentor can help you avoid costly mistakes and be a great source of guidance.
