Well, seeing a business coach was DEFINITELY a good idea. In our first session, we managed to thrash out the answers to three of my four questions (the only one we didn’t tackle was where I see the business going in the short and long term). We also covered various practical things that I didn’t even realise I should be doing ( ‘unknown unknowns’ as Donald Rumsfeld would term them), such as generating a monthly profit and loss statement.
An unexpected benefit of seeing a coach was that it gave me the impetus to get all my paperwork in order before the meeting, so I now have an extremely tidy office and feel very virtuous.
