Navigating Business Coaching: Do You Really Need One?

If you’ve ever wondered what a business coach actually does—or whether you need one in this season—this post (and Episode 159 of The Business Reboot) is your sign to take a thoughtful look.

What a Business Coach Is (and Isn’t)

A strong coach is a strategic guide, sounding board, and accountability partner—not a template pusher or a magic wand. Great coaching is customized to your goals, values, and capacity, and helps you stay focused on what actually moves the needle.

“Good coaches aren’t handing you cookie-cutter templates. They help you build something that fits your goals, values, and capacity.” — Melissa

Why Coaching Might Be Right for You

• Clarity in chaos: You’re overwhelmed by options and want a clear plan.
• Confidence rebuild: Past missteps or comparison have you second-guessing.
• Creative block buster: You need fresh perspective to translate ideas into steps.
• Accountability & strategy: You’ve got big goals and want help sticking to them.

Coaches Aren’t Miracle Workers (Kind, Honest Expectations)

Coaches don’t carry your business for you; they walk with you. They aren’t therapists. They co-create strategy, bring objectivity, and help you honor your word to yourself.

The Value of Outside Perspective

When you’re deep in the day-to-day, you can’t see the whole picture. A coach provides the bird’s-eye view, reveals blind spots, and helps you make confident, values-aligned decisions.

“We’ve always had helpers watching the parts we’re too close to see. That gives us peace of mind.” — Corry

Signs It’s Time

• You’ve plateaued in revenue, creativity, or confidence.
• You’re overwhelmed and want a realistic roadmap.
• You’re tired of DIY and ready for consistent, supported growth.
• You want a compassionate partner who respects your life capacity (kids’ schedules, aging parents, perimenopause… the whole beautiful, busy picture).
