One of the distinctions that sets coaching apart from other types of consulting is that coaching specifically addresses the client’s sense of who they are in the world, and helps the client make life choices that are aligned with their personal values.

In general, consultants are the resource one might use to learn how to set up and run a business or to delegate specific tasks to, such as webmasters, accountants, and the like.

Did they not try hard enough? Tough times? It would be presumptuous to second guess why so many new businesses close, but the small business owner would be wise to gather as much personal support as they can to keep themselves

As a coach, I love to work with entrepreneurs. There is a special magic in the creativity that inspires someone to begin their own business. A business can truly become a “calling,” as the owner walks a path that leads to spiritual growth and provides benefit to the community. I admire people who create meaningful lives,

Some challenges however, can intensify to the level that they become “spiritual wake-up calls.” When a business has gone flat, profits are non-existent, and the business owner’s personal life has diminished, I believe it’s time to stop and revaluate before the business goes into a fatal downward spiral.

For new results to occur there has to be a well-conceived plan and follow-through on implementing the plan. There is a natural tendency to repeat old patterns.
