Entrepreneurs, Are You a Good Coach?
It always sounds good when people say, I will be an entrepreneur or I will start my own business.
In fact, 75% of Americans say they will start their own business in the next three years.
It could be an online business, MLM, a brick and mortar business, home based business or some kind of affiliate program.
Either way, to be a business owner or entrepreneur you have to have some skills or develop some kind of skills.
One of them is being a good coach.
Here's a list of qualities a good coach will have.
A good coach is a visionary.
He will be able to see the big picture.
Looking ahead at the ultimate goal and breaking it down in small goals.
He will be a person of integrity.
Always do what is right no matter how difficult it may be and lead by example.
He is also a very consistent individual who will do the same things day in and day out understanding that consistency to any tasks is the best approach to becoming successful.
He is also a good facilitator.
Provide a good environment to work in and help his group understand the objective and assist them to plan to achieve them without taking any position.
A coach is easy to access.
He is always available to talk to about both personal and professional aspects of your life.
He is also flexible.
He is not stubborn and understands that other people have good ideas and not only is he willing to learn from everyone but he is also willing to try some of those new ideas as well.
A coach has the courage to face any difficult challenges.
He will stand in front of any danger, uncertain situation or intimidation.
Also, he will have to over communicate.
I know sometimes, we feel that people talk too much and you heard the same thing 10 times, but beside you there is that person that did not hear what was communicated the first 9 times.
He is always positive and provides productive feedback.
Productive feedback will be in two forms, negative and positive.
The feedback has to given in a way that it is constructive, at least the first couple of times.
And last, he is inspirational and motivational.
Someone that will communicate in a way that will make you think, that will make you see the other side and will arouse a particular emotion or action from you.
You see being a coach is not easy.
There are many qualities a good coach has to learn so the next time you are in a position of coaching, there will be a better understanding of what your team needs and wants from you.
