You may not know this but I’m on a mission. A freedom mission.
A mission to help successful busy entrepreneurs get the freedom that they signed up for but seem to have lost sight of.
Because coaches are business owners!
But as I’ve discovered over the years, most coaches and similar professionals don’t realize that they are also business owners…entrepreneurs! Which is what I wrote about over in my Freedom Bootcamp blog this week. Take a look and see if you see yourself in that conversation.
It’s the reason I’m breaking from the normal conversation here at choice to bring us all back to what will help us reach more people with our amazing coaching gifts.
I’ve long believed that what we do is about 10% of any business. The “what we do” being service delivery or in our case, coaching. The remaining 90% are all the other things that an entrepreneur needs. Sales, marketing, HR/team building, customer service, invoicing, bookkeeping, etc.
Being an entrepreneur means you ARE the company!
It’s easy for me to be able to have this perspective as I’ve been an entrepreneur/business owner for well over 3 decades (YIKES!). I’ve started, built, and sold 3 multimillion-dollar companies and I can tell you with full clarity, service or product delivery is really the only thing that changes from company to company. That 90% is always the same with a slight variation based on the type of company.
So why am I telling you this? Because we need to stand together as a profession and understand that behind every successful coach there is a successful business with all the parts in place and supporting the coach to be able to coach.
