Since the 1980’s, coaching has gone from an underground profession, with clients denying they have a coach, to becominga status symbol and almost a necessity for success.

Whether you know you want one, or are just currious, this article will offer some advice on evaluating the affordability of coaching.

Coaching by Any Other Name

Life Coach. Personal Coach. Business Coach. Executive Coach. Or as I lovingly call my helpful profession: “Rent-a-Yenta.” Many professionals that offer coaching services also call themselves Consultants (a misnomer, but more easily understood).

Ways a Coach Can Help

What do you want?

• You want to work for yourself but you don’t know what to do or where to begin.
• You have so many great ideas, you don’t know which way to go first.
• You just want to get out of your corporate sandbox.

These are some of the ways that a Coach can help you narrow the field so you can create defined goals to target.

How do you get there from here?

A coach can ask the right questions to help you define your best goals, uncover your strengths, outsource your weaknesses, and help you define the steps to achieve what you want.

A life coach can also help you create your ultimate work-life balance and reduce the negative stresses in your life.

A business coach can help you start-up, grow, maintain, or develop an exit strategy for your business, or career.

Active Questions:

Ask yourself the following questions & write down your answers.

1. What life goals or business dreams could I better, quicker, more successfully accomplish, with the help of a Life Coach or Business Coach?

2. What would it cost me, in time, money, stress level to go it alone?

3. Will I profit quicker if I work through my goals with a Coach?

Top Executives, Celebrities, Athletes, and Entrepreneurs work with coaches that help motivate, support, and help them do what they do - only better.

Obviously, since I AM a professional Coach (have been since 2001) I want to have the opportunity to see if we work well together. (I don’t just take any client. And I offer a money back guarantee.) But even we are not the right Client / Coach match, I want to encourage you to keep looking.

You want to be at the top of your game, the head of your class, the head honcho in your industry - You need a coach to get there.
