If you operate a small business, then there is a resource you need that is often overlooked, a small business coach.
A business coach will do many things for you:
Level the playing field
Create a Category of One in a competitive marketplace for you
Prove results in shorter than expected periods of time
Act as an extension of the sales, marketing, and leadership team of your organization.
Develop skills of the teams they work with, so the teams are forever improved.

TOP 3 CONSEQUENCES TO SHORT TERM WORK WITH A BUSINESS COACH:
1. Lack of Continuity and Follow-Through
Business growth takes time. Without long-term support, it’s easy to abandon plans before they fully take root. A short engagement may deliver a burst of clarity, but without ongoing guidance, consistency and momentum often slip.
2. Superficial Problem-Solving
A short-term coach may only scratch the surface—addressing symptoms, not root causes. Deep challenges (like team dysfunction, unclear positioning, or recurring revenue gaps) typically need sustained coaching to uncover and resolve.
3. Wasted Investment
If insights and plans aren’t implemented fully or revisited regularly, the time and money spent can go to waste. Without ongoing accountability and adaptation, even great strategies can fizzle out in the day-to-day rush.
