If you are a sports fanatic like myself, you understand that the best teams have the best coaches. If it's the 1990s Chicago Bulls or early 2000s Los Angeles Lakers with Phil Jackson, the nearly two decade run of the New England Patriots with Bill Belichick, or the exciting offense of the New Orleans Saints with Sean Payton, in order for those teams to be a success, they needed excellent coaching!
As in sports, your business is the same way! In order to have a successful business you need an outside point of view that will provide knowledge, accountability, and more. Here are 5 reasons why you should invest in business consulting and coaching.
Reason #1
Direction (GPS)
I live in northwest Louisiana right near the Texas border. Many people in my area travel to Dallas which is headed west. Let's say that someone new to the area wanted to go to Dallas, but started to head east. If that person used their GPS it would have directed them to head west instead of east saving them time, money, and frustration.
The business road is already tough, but a great consultant can be a GPS for your business. Many people have vision, but no direction! Sometimes as a business owner or professional, all you need is a clear cut direction to assist in following through with your organization.

Reason #2
Accountability
Every leader needs an accountability partner, someone who is not scared of them and will be brutally honest. Now you may say, "I have a family member or friend that can keep me accountable." That may be true, however they may not be well versed in business and may not clearly understand your "business" vision.
Reason #3
Mental Preparation
Running an organization is tough, draining, frustrating at times, and more. One of the first statements I make to a new business owner reveals all of the hardships of entrepreneurship. A great coach will be up front about the difficult parts of business and assist in mentally preparing you for the journey.
Reason #4
Experience
There is no better teacher than experience! I have been in business a long time and have learned so much about the process, the dos and don'ts, and how to effectively manage people. However, I have avoided much turbulence by having great business consultants. Instead of experience being my teacher, an experienced person became my teacher!
Reason #5
Connection
The key to anything in life is connection! A great business consultant can connect you with valuable resources to grow your business. Typically when we think about resources we always think MONEY; however, resources can be connecting you with another organization to better streamline your workflow or connecting you with programs to assist in growing your organization's goodwill. Connection is important!
