I’ve hired a lot of coaches, and each time was for a different reason. Here are the reasons I’ve hired coaches, the reasons my clients have hired me, and how you can know if it’s time for you to hire a coach.
Hire a Coach When You Want to Grow Your Skills
My first coach was a photography coach to help me grow my skills! I went to some photography workshops after one of my clients said to me, “ummm… can we do some different poses?” And my mind went blank. The coaches helped me hone my skills and give a better client experience!
Hire a Coach When You Are Pivoting Your Business
Next, I hired coaches short-term when I pivoted into Photo Editing and then when I became an OBM. I worked with them because I wanted to know how to set up my services, my pricing, and to make sure my marketing message and website were what I needed to attract my ideal clients
Hire a Coach When You Aren’t Hitting Your Goals
The first time I worked with a coach 1:1 long term was when I was just not hitting my goals. I wasn’t getting a lot of leads and I wasn’t making the revenue I wanted. My coach helped me prioritize my money making tasks and I tripled my revenue in 3 months!!
Hire a Coach When You’re Struggling with Self-Doubt
I hired my next coach when I was struggling with my mental health. I was dealing with a lot of self doubt, imposter syndrome, etc. She helped me tap into myself and my body and focus on just being. I left feeling empowered! This was more mindset focused and body focused than business focused and it was exactly what I needed.
Hire a Coach When You’re Feeling Uninspired
My most recent coach helped me tap into what I really wanted to create, how I really wanted to show up and work with clients, and market in a way that felt good to me. So, if you’re wanting to grow your skills, pivoting your business, wanting to reach your goals and increase your sales, dealing with a lot of self doubt, or struggling to get inspired, then perhaps it’s time to work with a coach.
Hire a Coach When You’re Burnt Out
Next, here are some of the reasons that my clients have hired me. First, many of my clients come to me when they’ve experienced a period of burnout and want to get out of that and back into a business that excites them and brings them joy
Hire a Coach When You’re Overwhelmed or Constantly Putting Out Fires
Another reason my clients work with me is if their business is overwhelming, disorganized and they’ve hit a breaking point. Other times they’re constantly putting out fires and working in the business but never on the business. They’re stressed and exhausted
Hire a Coach When You’ve Hit an Income Plateau
Finally, many of my clients have come to me when they’ve hit an income plateau and are sturggling to reach the next level. One specific example is one of my clients had plateaued at $3-6k months and wanted help reaching the the level of $8-12k months. When she joined my mastermind, we were able to help her reach her goals.
