The Essence of Business Coaching in Today’s Fast-Changing U.S. Market
The U.S. business environment evolves at lightning speed. Economic trends shift, new technologies emerge, and customer behaviors transform overnight. In such a dynamic climate, business coaching has become essential. It equips entrepreneurs with the clarity, adaptability, and strategic thinking needed to stay ahead, make smarter choices, and achieve lasting success.
Fred Serra: How Business Coaching Changed My Life
In my thirty-five years of business, I spent two thirds of my years struggling to get to the top of my industry. College did not teach me how to run a business and everything I did was trial and error. I spent many hours in the day working harder and not smarter, and making costly mistake after mistake. I had to learn how to run a business, manage employees, vendors and Government regulations.
One day I was approached by a business coach and he gave me a free 60-minute session that ended up worth millions of dollars. The first two questions he asked me was: “Where do you want to be in the next ten years?” and “What is your plan on getting there?” While I knew where I wanted to be, the ‘How?’ was the challenge for me. We talked and he asked me one final question, “If I can show you the way to get there and do it by working less hours, would you be willing to make a small investment now that will give you everything you want in the future?
I made the decision to hire this coach and my hard work and investment paid off. I no longer made costly mistakes and I focused on the things that increased my business in excess of my goals. My coach matched my hard work with the business tools he provided me and when combined together, my business took off. I was once in your shoes and I know how hard it is to run a business. I reached the top and today I have made the decision to help others achieve their success.
