Why is Having a Coach/Mentor Important?

Every aspiring athlete has a coach. The top athletes whether Olympic or Professional hire their own personal coach and trainer(s). Each trainer has their own specialty. Take Tiger Woods for example. He doesn’t just do it on his own.

Is it a weakness to need a coach to help you?

My answer to that is NO. A coach helps you to stay focused and accountable. There are so many opportunities around us to get us sidetracked. Whether it is family, entertainment, work or just wanting to take it easy, these things can keep us from reaching our goal. Or like many of us we needed help to believe in ourselves and in the business or we will not take the action that we need to take. You also need someone to teach you the skills that are necessary to be successful, whether in business or as an athlete or even as a mom or dad.

As a business owner, I want to be a successful as I can be. So I wanted to find the best mentor that I could find in my field of interest. For me that is in network marketing and internet marketing so I looked for a coach who was being very successful. In fact I have more than one coach because each person has their own areas of expertise. Some are good at goal setting while others are good with mindset and others are able to teach you the technical skills or communication skills that everyone needs to be successful.

So now, if you are wanting to be successful in something whether just starting out or wanting to go to the next level, begin looking for a mentor and a coach who can take you there. Everyone that I know of who has been very successful in anything has had a coach to help them get there. Now they too can be a mentor to others and what a fantastic way to build a business to help others to build their business because now everyone will want to join your business because you Know How!

Don’t wait to look for an entrepreneur development program. Remember, every Olympian and every top athlete had a coach and mentor to help them get to where they got. With the right mentor, you can and will do it too!
