Myths Of Business Coaching

Some business owners think that hiring a business coach, or considering business coaching is a sign of weakness!

Of course the reality is clients are all smart and intelligent and know all about how to run their business... and smarter still - they recognize those areas of their business that they aren't managing as well as they would like.

When I'm coaching, that's where we work together to analyze the business, isolate those areas that need some improvement, and codify those things that are working well, so that the intelligence stays in the business to create a Knowledge Base, and becomes an asset to the business, and an easier way to bring on new employees when they start.

Like to know how that might work for you? 

 

The Hedgehog Concept.
Jim Collins, Author of Good To Great writes:

"The essence of a Hedgehog Concept is to attain piercing clarity about how to produce the best long-term results, and then exercising the relentless discipline to say, "No thank you" to opportunities that fail the hedgehog test.
When we examined the Hedgehog Concepts of the good-to-great companies, we found they reflected deep understanding of three intersecting circles:
1) what you are deeply passionate about,
2) what you can be the best in the world at, and
3) what best drives your economic engine. " Jim Collins - Good To Great

What's Your Hedgehog?
Well let's think about it a minute.
What is a hedgehog good at doing?
Just one thing really.

Being A Hedgehog!

You've Found Your "Hedgehog" Concept, when...
i) You can be the best in the world at it.
ii) It comes naturally to you.
iii) You can make money at it.

And remember - it must pass
ALL 3 tests, to qualify!
