How can you judge if a business coach is a good fit for your goals?
It all starts with the “vibe test”. Do you feel comfortable talking to this person freely, sharing your challenges?
Then?
Is what this person saying to me all talk, or does he/she have a proven record of “eating his/her own cooking?”
Is this person preaching to me strategies from the 199'0’s, or will I hear modern and new ideas?
Who will do the actual coaching? The founders/senior coaches, or a junior person with no record of running their own business?
