Being an entrepreneur can be exciting, yet challenging, and it can often be difficult to know when you need help.  Many business owners are determined to tackle every task and problem themselves, but this often leads to feelings of burnout and stress.  If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, a business coach may be the answer.  Andreas Philip Gross Enterprises LLC encourages you to keep reading to learn to identify some of the major signs that you may benefit from a business coach and how to assess your needs so you can find the perfect match.

Assess Your Feelings

​Are you feeling stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed?  Perhaps you’ve been doing everything you can (or at least you think you have been doing everything can), but you are still not seeing progress in your business, or perhaps it feels like you have just been spinning your wheels as valuable time has been slipping by.  If these scenarios describe you, it might be time to consider hiring a business coach.  Other signs that it might be time to hire a business coach include lack of motivation and focus, difficulty in staying organized, experiencing trouble in communicating your thoughts and goals for moving forward, or if you’re ready to scale your business but unsure where to start.  These issues usually bring stress or anxiety to the table, so if you're feeling overwhelmed, that's a sign that you could probably benefit from some help.

Take Care With Your Search

Once you've determined that it's time to hire a business coach, the next step is finding one with the right qualifications and experience.  A great place to start is by searching online for verified coaches who specialize in areas such as marketing/advertising, finance/accounting, customer service/relationship building, and operations management/strategy development.  Be sure to read reviews and ask questions before making any commitments, or ask about a complimentary consultation.

Prepare To Own Up To Your Mistakes

Hiring a business coach is an investment in yourself and your future success, so don’t be afraid of being humbled by the process.  A good coach will challenge your thoughts and ideas while also helping you develop new strategies for success.  They will also help keep you accountable so that tasks are completed on time and goals are met effectively.

Update Your Resume

After working with a business coach, apply what you have learned by updating your resume.  You can do this yourself, or use one of the many free resume template sites out there.  Some even have paying options which allow you to unlock their premium templates or even seek professional help specifically geared at helping you find the optimal format for your resume.  Updating your resume will show potential employers the transformation that has taken place within your career path as well as all of the skills and experiences that have been gained during this process.  Here’s a great free online resume builder that allows you to customize a professional-looking document that boosts your confidence when you're ready to make a big move in your career.

Utilize Other Resources

​Not everyone has access to or can afford a professional business coach, but the good news is, there are other resources available such as free online tools which offer templates for creating successful business plans.  There are also LLC formation services that can help you create a solid legal designation for your business according to the state you live in.  These services can save you a lot of money on attorney's fees.  Don't forget about the books at your local libraries or bookstores, podcasts, webinars, and blogs, too.  These resources can provide helpful advice on how best to move forward with starting or running your own business without having direct access to a professional coach.
 
And if starting your own company doesn’t seem like the right fit for now, maybe this would be a great opportunity to go back to school.  Begin by looking at the options to find the best fit for you.  For instance, pursuing a business degree can be a big help, and thanks to the flexibility of online learning platforms, you can proceed at your own pace without needing to take too much time away from other responsibilities.

It takes courage and determination to become an entrepreneur but sometimes it takes more than just hard work; sometimes it takes help from outside sources.  A business coach can help you make the most of your vision and keep stress and anxiety at bay so you can stay focused.  They can also help you improve your resume.  Don't forget to look at other resources when you're ready to start or grow your business, as there are a wealth of helpful tools available both online and offline made just for entrepreneurs like you.
