CHAPTER 1<\/h4>\n

What Is Small & Mid-Sized Business Coaching?<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"chapter1_underline-min\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people think they understand business coaching but there\u2019s often a lot of confusion around the definition of what it is and exactly what a business coach actually does.<\/p>\n

As a coach to small and mid-sized companies, it\u2019s important to understand that the smaller the company and the smaller the team, the more you\u2019ll find everything that happens in the business is connected to the Founders or the business owners in some shape or form.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, the success or failure of the company is closely tied to a small or mid-sized business owner\u2019s:<\/p>\n

While you don\u2019t have to be an expert in all 3 areas in order to be a successful, transformational business coach\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to know that there will be times when you must look beyond what\u2019s going on inside the business so you can give your client the right support.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why small and mid-sized companies need a coach who is quick on their feet and who can skillfully guide their client through various aspects of business and life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just to be clear\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that you cannot specialize in a specific area of expertise, field or niche (we\u2019ll be talking about that in Chapter 4), but it does mean that you\u2019ll need to be ready to coach your client through challenges outside the business arena.<\/span>\"a<\/span><\/p>\n

Part 1<\/h5>\n

Before we go deeper into this guide, it\u2019s good to get connected to your personal motivation and inspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing your \u201cwhy\u201d can work like a North Star that helps guide you through obstacles and challenges that stand between you and your goal of becoming a world-class small and mid-sized business coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go ahead and set a timer for 5 minutes. Then answer this question:<\/p>\n

Why do you want to become a small or mid-sized business coach?<\/em><\/p>\n

Part 2<\/h5>\n
