Coaching for Business Owners

Coaching for Business Owners is very similar to coaching executives and managers (click here), while there are also some unique challenges. Depending on the size of the business, some specific unique challenges for Business Owners can include financial stress and cash flow issues; sales & marketing; work/life balance; being the 'jack of all trades'; under resourced; isolation (no-one to share high's and low's with);

Coaching could also be for someone starting a business who needs assistance with vision, business planning, image, marketing, etc.
