\u201cBut you are a coach\u2026 I don\u2019t understand why you need a coach.\u201d Is what I heard when I decided I was going to hire an epic business coach! I want to get so honest with you in this post. Because recently I have had a lot of people come to me about starting their own business and ask\u2026 \u201cbut is it easy.\u201d No\u2026 if it was easy, then everyone would do it, right?<\/p>\n
But when you find a business that you are obsessed with, when you find something that you are super passionate about then it can feel easy. You start to enjoy failing because that means you tried and learned a lesson from it. You wake up super excited to work on everything that day and at the end of the day, you are ready for what tomorrow brings on. Some days you go, go, go and don\u2019t even realize you haven\u2019t eaten in 7 hours because you are seriously having a blast. It\u2019s hard work you put in, but it feels effortless to you because it is what you are supposed to be doing. You are living out your purpose.
\nSounds amazing right!? So in saying all of that\u2026 here\u2019s where the coach came in. Sometimes you get so passionate \u2013 you forget that it\u2019s okay to ask for help. You get so used to failing \u2013 that suddenly you forget to celebrate your wins, you feel like you are only failing. You get excited to wake up \u2013 but then you feel like you are alone in some of your trials. You go, go, go and try ALL OF THE THINGS \u2013 but all of the things aren\u2019t for you. Enter Megan. Not me though! Megan Knapp, the business strategist I needed to set me back on my track.<\/p>\n
So why do coaches need coaches? And do you need one?<\/p>\n
Support Breeds Expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n When you allow yourself to open up for support, you are allowing yourself to grow. Growth is not always comfortable. Growth can be really hard, and as a business owner, it can be hard to admit that you need to grow. You think you can do it alone. You think that you can make it by yourself because you made it this far already. With that mindset, you will just find yourself stuck. When you open yourself to support, when you allow yourself to accept help \u2013 you allow space and energy to open up and then you can expand much more effortlessly.<\/p>\n Walk the Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n As a coach, we preach why coaching is so important and why having the support is so key. But when it comes down to it, when we need to help, we don\u2019t always as for it. Just because someone is a coach, doesn\u2019t mean they are a perfect human. You do not have to be perfect. You owe it to yourself and your clients to have your own support and grow in every area you need development in. You are the expert in what you preach but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to be the expert all around.<\/p>\n
