Being coached is not always a pleasant experience. I don't particularly enjoy being told what I am doing wrong but I know my coaches have my best interests at heart and they give me positive feedback along with the constructive criticism.I came to the conclusion that I could not, in good conscience, promote myself as a marketing coach only to suck people of their money by getting them into a system that would ultimately be a bottomless pit of spending! I had to let my conscience be my guide! I am not here to bash people in this business or bash programs that I am sure are working quite well for some! But I am here to say that in this wonderful and crazy world of MLM, there are "Masters of deception" who are promoting themselves as something they are not! Be careful.Besides this, look at the over-all personality of the business coach. Does he come across as someone too eager to please? Does he come across as someone downright rude? Both these extremes could be detrimental to your business. The ideal would be somewhere in between. Before finalizing on a coach, discuss money. See if there are any additional offerings like books or CDs etc. Check to see the availability of the coach. Be clear about the money and time issues right from the start. Be sure that you find an experienced and dedicated person that meets all these criteria to make a success out of your business.Your coach is getting paid a lot of money for his services. This alone will give him pressure to help you succeed. If he gets a good testimonial from you, then he will get more business. This is why hiring an Internet marketing coach is a good idea. They will try their best to help you succeed.A good coach will help you strategize in your business. You'll be able to get out of your own head! He or she will help you craft a vision and strategies to get to that vision. In other words, a coach helps you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.A Technology Coach will help you build systems that can help you run your small business effectively so that it doesn't depend on you. That's one of the main problems with most business owners. They're too close to their business and spend most of their time working IN the business instead of ON the business. Are you spending your time in the day to day activities of your business? That means you have a job, not a business. Is that what you wanted when you started your business?Investing in a business is not only a big investment; it's also a pivotal investment in the direction of your company. Taking good advice from the right person can catapult your business to new heights. On the other hand, taking advice from the wrong person can put you out of business. So choose wisely and do your due diligence before hiring a coach.A Different Perspective. Having someone to bounce ideas off for your gives you a bigger picture. It allows you to see things from another point of view you may not have thought off before and can help you avoid making massive mistakes, or help you to make decisions that will be even more profitable. By having an internet marketing coach available to help you, you not only get a different perspective but you get input from someone who has learned some of the best ways to do things online.When I'd visit some of the local coaching organizations I'd hear other coaches talking about not making more than a few hundred dollars a year, not charging more than a hundred dollars a month for hours of work, and some even laughing at the speaker who was telling them how to make hundreds of dollars per hour, and thousands per month easily. They just didn't believe that a coach, at least anyone in that group, could possibly make the kind of money that the speaker was telling them was possible. Sometimes their belief systems was keeping them from even trying those things, after all, they hadn't seen any of those results.Someone who isn't so eager to take you on. Time is precious and a good coach knows that her time is also limited. She's not willing to take on any and everyone. A good coach chooses his clients by assessing whether or not the person is coachable, not by determining how much money he can make.Make time for marketing. Now that you're clear on what you need to accomplish you need to MAKE time in your schedule to complete the necessary tasks. Don't leave this to chance! Starting TODAY allocate specific blocks of time in your schedule to work on your marketing and business development. It's best to schedule this time, early in the day, early in the week and early in the month. Eliminate your time wasters and re-train yourself to work on marketing BEFORE you do anything else in your business, especially checking your email!If you are serious about internet marketing, then you need to be serious about what it takes to be successful. A one-on-one internet marketing coach could mean the difference between starting a profitable business and never getting started in the first place.
