What Is Business Coaching?
Business coaching is the process of providing owners with the tools and educational resources they need to operate a successful, scalable business. By using one-on-one, customized, master-level coaching techniques and processes applied in real time, business coaching provides you with the framework to grow your people, profits, and passion using proven methods.
What Does a Business Coach Do?
A business coach gets to know your business, learning the details that make it unique. Together, you and your coach will identify priorities and then offer practical solutions to get early wins.
Here’s what a successful partnership looks like when working with a professional business coach:
- First, you and your business coach have an in-depth discussion about your personal goals, digging deeper to identify what’s important in your life to align your personal and professional activities.
- Then, the coach creates a roadmap with you that outlines your company’s top priorities by assessing its greatest challenges and most pressing issues.
- After that, the coach gives solutions for your easiest obstacles so you see an immediate improvement in your bottom line.
- Lastly, your coach meets with you regularly to implement solutions and address longer term issues.
Signs You Need a Business Coach
You may wonder if a business coach is what you need for your company to reach its full potential. You might even think that since you’re the owner, it’s your job to have all the answers to success—but that’s not true.
You started your company because you’re incredibly passionate and skilled in your industry, not because you’re knowledgeable about every aspect of operating a business. Just because your business hasn’t reached its full potential doesn’t mean you’re failing—you’re growing, and with growth comes complex obstacles that block the road that leads to maximizing profitability.
Here are some signs it’s time to partner with a professional business coaching expert:
- You’re struggling with running a successful company.
- You’re spending most of your time in the day-to-day operations.
- You’re exhausted because you’re constantly putting out fires.
- You can’t sleep at night, tossing and turning about ideas to take your organization to the next level.
- Your team isn’t performing—and you can’t figure out why.
By partnering with a coach, the struggling stops, day-to-day operations improve, and daily fires begin to die down. Soon, your team will improve their performance, and you’ll be sleeping better at night.

Why Business Coaching Is Important
If you’re running a small to mid-sized business and it’s growing, it’s critical to work with a coach to get you where you want to be years down the road. Growing your business involves developing a strategic plan that maps out your vision for the future—that’s where hiring a business coach can help.
Consider the steps you’re taking for your business to reach its full potential. Are you:
- Identifying your highest priority task each week, month, or quarter?
- Accomplishing your highest priority task each week or month?
- Communicating high-priority tasks to employees?
When running a company, it’s easy to drown in the day-to-day details, putting planning for the future on the back burner. But by working with a coach, you can identify your priorities that align with your vision for the future, achieve them, and communicate your plan for success with team members by creating a Single Sheet Business Plan.
The Single Sheet Business Plan gives you and everyone on your team a line of sight from your 30-year vision through to the actions necessary in 5 years, next year, next quarter, and today. That way, you can always drive toward that vision—and move fast doing it.
Notable Owners Who Say Business Coaching Is Worth It
World-renowned leaders partner with a coach to help them achieve business success, from Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey to Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt. If notable business leaders need a coach, shouldn’t every business owner?
Whether your goal is to achieve the same success as a well-respected leader in business or make a comfortable living to support your family, business coaching can help you get there.
