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?
