10 Reasons to Not Hire a Business Coach

People tell you “hire a coach.” “Coaching will help you be more accountable.”  “You need an unbiased person to help you see things more clearly.” But…you’re still not sure. You may have some common concerns about business coaching. Here are the top 10 reasons that you haven’t hired a business coach- and why you might reconsider.

1. I don’t want them, or anyone, to know just how bad things are.

A business coach is not there to judge you or your business. A coach is there to help you see the potential in your business and to help you find solutions to common problems. Take Wing Coaching coaches are certified professionals who have helped businesses of all sizes in a wide range of industries. We understand that every business is different and we tailor our approach to fit your specific needs

2. I can’t afford a business coach

If you’re not sure whether or not you can afford a coach, ask yourself this question: Can I afford NOT to have a business coach? A coach can help you save time and money by helping you avoid common mistakes. 

3. They might judge you for the things you are doing in your business.

As mentioned before, a business coach is not there to judge you. They are there to listen, help you prioritize, and help you be accountable for your goals. At Take Wing Coaching, we tailor our approach to the way that you like to work and what harmony means in your life and business.

4. I’m not sure what a business coach can do for me.

If you’re not sure whether or not you need a business coach, ask yourself this question: What would it mean for my business if I had someone to help me achieve my goals? A coach can help you clarify your goals, create a plan to achieve them, and hold you accountable along the way. Business coaching is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. At Take Wing Coaching, we will work with you to tailor a coaching program that meets you.

5.  I’m not sure I’m ready for a business coach

If you’re not sure whether or not you’re ready for a business coach, ask yourself this question: What would it mean for my business if I had someone to help me achieve my goals? A coach can

help you clarify your goals, create a plan to achieve them, and hold you accountable along the way. No matter where you are in your business, Take Wing Coaching can help you tailor a coaching program that works for you to get where you want to go.

6.  I don’t need a business coach, I already know what I need to do.

You may think you know what you need to do- but are you doing it? Business coaching is not about someone else telling you what to do. It’s about having someone in your corner who believes in you and your business. Someone who will help you create a plan to achieve your goals and hold you accountable along the way. Business coaching is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. At Take Wing Coaching, we will work with you to tailor a coaching program e will help you affirm your dreams and help you create a harmonious work/life balance that suits your lifestyle.

7. I don’t have time for business coaching.


If you’re not sure whether or not you have time for business coaching, ask yourself this question: What would it mean for my business if I had someone to help me achieve my goals? A coach can help you save time by helping you focus on what’s important, create a plan to achieve your goals, and hold you accountable along the way.

8. You had a bad experience with a business coach in the past.

If you’ve had a bad experience with a business coach in the past, it’s important to remember that not all coaches are created equal. There are many different coaching styles and approaches out there, so it’s important to find one that is a good fit for you and your business, as well as your values. Business coaching is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Ask prospective coaches about their approach and what are their core values. At Take Wing Coaching, we are very clear about our core values and our approach.

9. They might shoot down your ideas.

A business coach is not there to tell you what to do. A business coach is someone who will help you clarify your ideas, set goals, create a plan to achieve them, and hold you accountable along the way. At Take Wing Coaching, one of our core values is adventure. We love to explore ideas, set goals, create plans, and turn those ideas into action.

10. Accountability is scary.

It’s also one of the most effective ways to achieve your goals. At Take Wing Coaching, we provide accountability in numerous ways, and our goal is to help you learn to be accountable and find it an enjoyable, self-growth practice.
