At a recent social event, I was chatting with someone—naturally, about business. Because, let’s be honest, as a business coach, that’s pretty much all I think about.
We covered the essentials: hiring, leadership, marketing, sales, financials, and the mechanics of how a business truly operates. I gave him a few starting points, knowing he wasn’t quite ready to invest in himself through coaching.
Then came the question:
“How do you know so much about business?”
Turns out, he’s an engineer—a professional in his own right. And that’s when I laid it out for him:
Business is all I do.
I don’t have the skills to do his job without years of education and experience. Just like I wouldn’t expect to walk onto a construction site and build a house, perform surgery, or argue a case in court.
But when it comes to the game of business?
That’s my playing field.
We don’t understand shortcuts and simplifications because we study random topics. We understand them because we study business. All the time.
Why Does This Matter to You?
Because when you have the right coach, you’re not just getting someone who understands coaching—you’re getting expertise in every aspect of your business.
Marketing – How to position, brand, and sell effectively. Staffing & Leadership – Building and leading winning teams. Financials – Knowing your numbers and using them to scale. Sales & Systems – Converting leads, increasing efficiency, and maximizing profitability. Entrepreneurship – Developing the mindset and resilience to thrive.
A great coach will keep your eyes on what truly matters at the right time—so that you can focus on doing what you do best.
That’s where greatness comes from.
So, the real question is: Who’s keeping you accountable for your success?
