Hey Coach!

Scott Roberts is a business coach--mine specifically! Last year I hired a business coach --highly recommended!

As a former CEO, Scott Roberts understands first-hand the challenges of running a business. With over 20 years in positions with Fortune 500, small and start-up companies, Scott uses his experience to coach business owners to their own view of happiness, success and wealth.

Tips

• A coach is helpful if the business is growing quickly and managing growth is challenging...or you’re just not sure how to run a business
• A good coaching candidate is passionate about their work and is willing to work hard and implement advice
• Most businesses underprice their product and don’t understand their financials
• Throw out the words “I know” from your vocabulary--it cuts off curiosity and learning
• Don’t treat your business like a hobby, see it as a business
