Make Others Wealthy Through Coaching

A Guide Through the Maze

Business coaches have become very popular in recent years. What was once thought of as a luxury is now almost a necessity, especially for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are notorious for getting buried in many mundane tasks of running a business, and as a result lose sight of the broader picture. An objective, knowledgeable coach can remedy this by giving a clear perspective and offering guidance and helpful advice.

A coach is, to put it in simple terms, a mentor or guide. As in the field of sports, a good business coach (or mentor) will inspire you to set goals, work hard and meet those goals. That coach will be honest, telling you exactly like it is – whether you want to hear it or not. But on the f lip side, your coach will listen to what you have to say.

Had you ever wished you had someone to guide you through the maze of doing business online? Or did you think that sort of thing was out of your reach? Actually, there are a number of high-quality online business opportunities that offer mentoring as part and parcel of the package.

If you are serious about hooking up with an Internet Business Coach, what are the qualities that are most important. Believe it or not, a degree in business, or even a degree in counseling will not be at the top of the list. You are not looking for a therapist, but rather a guide and teacher.

Here are a few criteria you will want to look for as you seek out your own business coach:

Values

It will be vital that your business coach has a set of values that mirrors your own. This will greatly enhance the relationship.

Belief

You are looking for an individual with a strong core belief system. You want a person who knows who he is and knows where he is going. (Or she – whichever.)

Integrity

Your coach should be a person who is honest enough to tell it like it is; and honest enough to praise and encourage when it is due you.

Unselfish

A business coach who spends most of your phone time talking about herself and her accomplishments means it’s time to look for a new coach. While that person’s experiences will be important and will be of interest to you, remember that you are looking for a caring mentor, not an egotist.

Trust

If there is no basic trust level, then there can be no mentoring. It is extremely difficult to learn from one whom you do not trust. Granted it takes time to build trust, but if it is not forthcoming – look elsewhere.

Referrals/Testimonies

The coach you choose should have a number of referrals from others with whom they have worked. Don’t be shy about asking for these. And then don’t be shy about contacting those other clients and seeking honest answers.

While this is by no means a complete list, it gives you a starting point to use as you seek out your own business mentor.

The Magic Happens

Because your mentor is going to shorten your learning curve immensely, you will be into profits with your online business much more quickly. And, as a result, you yourself will be ready to turn around and mentor and guide others who join your team. It’s sort of magic how it happens that way.

One of the most famous business coaches of all times, Zig Ziglar put it this way:

You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

And that, in a sentence, is truly what coaching/mentoring is all about. That’s what is meant by the phrase: Make Others Wealthy. Others help you; you turn around and help others. It’s the universal law of sowing and reaping at its best.
