What's the Difference Between a Small Business Coach and a Consultant?
|
Like a sports coach, a
small business coach works on
bringing out the best that's already inside you. In small business
coaching, we focus on the "bigger picture" of what it is you want to
create for your business (and your lifestyle) and talk about what will
keep you motivated to move forward on your dreams, goals and tasks.
We focus on developing YOU to your highest potential, as well as
developing your business. A coach encourages you, supports you,
applauds you, empathizes with you. We help you to discover honest
insights into where things aren't working. We help you tap the
"wisdom within."
The net result of small business coaching is that
you create a fool-proof plan for moving forward, and the coach partners
with you and supports you in actualizing that plan. This creates
success in your self-employed business.

What Clients Say...
Since we began this process in
early February I've jumped from 8 clients to 23 paying clients
-- with 8
prospective client inquiries this past week! I believe the combination of the new web
sites we designed together and the marketing planning work you had me do is what made the difference.
Thanks!

In consulting for the self
employed, I come to the partnership as an expert,
whether it be in small business marketing, web design, business strategy planning,
or starting a business. I teach you skills, like better time
management or better Internet marketing techniques. After careful
discussion and analysis of what results you're looking to achieve, we
create a strong plan of action to move you swiftly towards your goals.
The focus of consulting is to get a
project done that will enhance your business.
There is a good analogy that illustrates the difference
between a small business coach and a consultant:
-
A business coach will help you
understand how and why you ride a bicycle, help you to determine what's
holding you back from riding properly, and jog along next to you as YOU
ride.
-
A business consultant will explain why
one bike is superior to another, teach you how to ride the bike, and if
necessary, ride the bike for you.
Which one is best for you is
based on your needs and values, as well your time constraints and
deadlines.
I often work in "hybrid" mode, as a coach-consultant.
This means that I offer you the best of both coaching and consulting:
-
advice and
expertise when you need it
-
new business
and marketing skills to keep you sharp
-
motivation and brainstorming when you're
stuck
-
insight to
build you and your business to your highest potential

What Clients Say...
The motivation and energy I feel after talking and
working with Karyn is priceless. Her excitement on the phone calls was
incredible. I would not be in the position I am with my business had I not
had her support. This program is worth a million
dollars!

"Success demands focus. It is the hallmark of all
truly great people. Your ability to get and remain focused or lack
thereof is perhaps the key determinant of your success."
