Are you ready to hire a business coach? Here’s what to look for..
What kind of support are you really needing as a leader, business owner, service-based entrepreneur and CEO?
I don’t know about you, but I’ve joined programs, taken courses (so many courses) and hired coaches hoping I’d finally gain that elusive “thing” that would lead me to success, peace, profit and secure my spot in the industry… Truthfully, I wasn’t always sure what I really wanted or needed when I forked over those thousands of $$
Let’s not forget all the time and energy I spent forcing my business into strategies that felt harmful, misaligned and just simply ineffective for me. I don’t regret any $ I’ve spent on my growth, healing & business.
I’m grateful to have had mostly positive experiences in my journey hiring support through the years! If I’d known better, I would’ve done better, sooner.
Hiring leadership coaching might be precisely what you need to step into your power in your industry! But it also might be a distraction to actually clarifying your offerings and marketing well. Ignoring leaky inner boundaries that are keeping you from making the sales and channeling your energy into what matters.
Knowing what kind of support you ACTUALLY need is everything when hiring a coach or consultant
HOW TO: Identify where your business needs support and systems vs. where you need skill and capacity as a CEO -
and take immediate action
1- know exactly what you actually need in this season in business -
Healing/Capacity building: therapist, coach
Consulting/Education: business coach, anti-racism consultant, marketing and sales training
Outsourcing/Delegating: ads specialist, virtual assistant, website designer, housekeeper
Please read this blog post if you want to learn more about weaving a web of support for yourself.
2- know what exactly you do, what are your qualifications, what are the areas that are out of scope?
Does your marketing and branding reflect what you’re qualified to do? Are you clear of where your own limitations are, and honoring those limitations? If you want to be doing deeper work than you currently can, how are you building your skill level?
3- know your unique magic, the medicine you and only you can bring
4- use your discernment when hiring a coach - why are you hiring them? Do they have the skills you need? Are you investing in a bunch of courses, but never really doing the deep work that matters, that might require more of an investment? What do you really need right now?
5- understand your wholeness and get off the hamster-wheel of fixing yourself!
SIGNS YOU NEED BUSINESS SUPPORT:
You don’t know how/need guidance to outline a Signature Offering
You want to learn to run your own ads
You want to learn about consensual sales
You need someone to build your website
You want someone to help you soul-aligned build systems
You want business mentorship from someone further along than you
You are ready to hire an Operations Manager
SIGNS YOU NEED TO GROW YOUR CEO SKILLS AND CAPACITY:
You’re experiencing fear of visibility– you want to grow your capacity to be seen, receive feedback and take nothing personally
You’re forgetting your power and perpetually feeling under-qualified (even though you’re already skilled and don’t actually need another training).
You’re under-charging because of your own lineage’s money “stuff,” privilege guilt and shame.
You’re lacking boundaries with yourself and clients.
You’re unsure of your unique magic and want someone to help mirror to you (and help you fully own) your potency.
You’re holding back, not saying what you mean and self-censoring.
ASK:
If there was one CORE problem, if it were now solved, would solve most of my business hang-ups, what would it be?
Luckily, Serve It Up is a combo of leadership coaching & biz consulting.
So you can expect to grow your capacity as a leader, CEO and biz person, while learning the actual, practical skills, to hire (and kindly fire) a team, develop customized systems and practices to clarify your offerings, map out a business strategy and truly live into your leadership.
