In late 2016 I was struggling in my business. It had grown from $3k/mo in March to $15k/mo in December, but I was working a ton and wasn’t sure how I was going to keep the wheels on the bus.
To be honest, we had major churn issues and I wasn’t sure I could make the business work.
I got lucky though and came across an online summit that inspired me, and I ended up finding a coach to work with who helped me get sanity back in my business, discover who I am as an entrepreneur and a professional, and who helped me grow the business substantially.
I now work with a different coach who has a very different skillset who has been through what I am and we are going through at Credo these days. It’s someone I’ve known for a long time who I respect the heck out of and learn from every single time we have a call.
And yes, I’ve spent over $70k on coaching in just over two years. The number doesn’t matter, but that shows you how invested I am in this both literally and figuratively.
In this episode I have a lot of advice for how to find a coach as well and what to look for when doing it.
Also, if you’re a service business owner I highly recommend Nick Eubanks’s new 7 Figure Agency course. The highest level is already sold out and the next level is getting full, so if you’re operating a small agency doing ok revenues but want to take it to the next level, I highly recommend his course. I’ve seen all the content, and I guarantee you he’ll help you grow.
Every year I spend money on something that will help me take my business to the next level. Last year it was a sales / closing program. Prior to that it was lead gen. If you want to be successful, you should always try to invest in yourself. Learning (Growth) never stops. This year I’m looking for a solid business coach to help me further drill down / automate lead gen and get into scaling.
