Maybe you’re thinking about taking the leap into entrepreneurship, but you’re just not sure if you’re cut out to be a business owner. Maybe you’re not sure the reality of business ownership would add up to the image in your mind. But, trust, if you have the following qualities and you DON’T take the leap, you’re missing your calling.

1. You focus on the big picture.

Entrepreneurs can dream big. They see possibility where others might see obstacles.

2. You’re hungry for success the moment your feet hit the floor in the mornings.

Entrepreneurs wake up with an itch to create value, build things and achieve their goals.

3. You read until you feel like your eyes might fall out of your skull.

You have to learn before you earn. It’s a real thing.

4. You’re comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Enough said.

5. You aren’t afraid to fail.

You will stumble. It’s a fact. If you can make peace with that fact you’ve already won half of the battle.

6. You don’t care if you’re liked.

Entrepreneurs know they will be forced to make tough decisions. Those decisions may ruffle some feathers. You can’t become successful without making some enemies, even inadvertently. Entrepreneurs understand this reality.

7. You require direction or validation.

Entrepreneurs are autonomous. Entrepreneurs don’t require a boss. They are self-starters.

Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster ride sometimes troubled by a faulty safety apparatus. You have to learn to problem solve on the fly and be determined to succeed. But deciding to become an entrepreneur is really the scariest part of the process and the biggest leap. You now know that you have what it takes. So, jump.

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone

It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:

Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)

cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.

By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.

These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.

Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.

Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.

It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
