I came back the next morning to find the jeans a perfect shade of sky blue. As I pulled them out of the tub I had a big smile on my face and a sense of deep satisfaction in my heart. I had done it. I had achieved my goal and I’d done it in a fraction of the time I thought it would take.
The first thing you should consider is to look for an internet marketing coach online. A Google query under “internet marketing coach” turns up over a half million results. Obviously,clicking through even a few of these will take forever. So what should you look for in an internet marketing coach program? Here are three important qualities to look for when looking for a teacher, and a program.
One of the most important things a business coach will do for you is to give you an objective look at your business. He or she will show you what is working and what is not and point out the root cause. It is very difficult to do this on your own because you’re too close to it and too emotionally involved. As an owner you will see the same things in the same way and overlook things that may be obvious to a business coach. When you try to do the same thing in the same way, you will get the same results.
If yes, how successful they are? Has any of their coaching participants made millions of dollars online? If the students that are coached, end up only reselling the technology coach’s ebooks or softwares, then something must be wrong!
There was this mix of excitement and complete terror in letting go of that steady paycheck in exchange for the unknown. All those little questions popping up in my head: Was I ready? Did I know what I was getting myself into? What if this is a complete bust?
An online marketing coach has the experience to answer your questions and get them ALL out of the way. The thousand questions you have in your head are really what are holding you back, aren’t they? Once the questions are gone, there is nothing left but to go to work. And work is what it takes. Anyone can learn this business really, but you will only make it if you are willing to do the work that is takes.
You will come across different types of business coaches while looking for one for your business. You have to find one that is open and accessible to you and your team if and when required. Coaches that are difficult to reach and who are too busy to concentrate on your business are not worth hiring. The person that you hire should be one who is dedicated to your team and will work hard at reaching your goals.
When I’d visit some of the local coaching organizations I’d hear other coaches talking about not making more than a few hundred dollars a year, not charging more than a hundred dollars a month for hours of work, and some even laughing at the speaker who was telling them how to make hundreds of dollars per hour, and thousands per month easily. They just didn’t believe that a coach, at least anyone in that group, could possibly make the kind of money that the speaker was telling them was possible. Sometimes their belief systems was keeping them from even trying those things, after all, they hadn’t seen any of those results.
Understands Internet Newsletters. Just today I spoke with a Marketing Coach who said ‘Ezines don’t work’ (An ezine is an internet newsletter) I was utterly gob smacked. Here was a business coach (someone business owners should look to for help and advice) that basically claimed that Internet marketing did not work.
A coach should challenge you to persist until you succeed, while at the same time challenging you about whether your goals and direction are what you truly want to pursue. I am a coach – just so you know that I may be somewhat biased in the benefits of a personal business coach. That said, coaching tends to explore your motives and your business plans quite in-depth. Coach that merely affirms your self-worth with a slap on the back should be avoided. The following remarks may help you to decide on the merits of a personal business coach to improve your own and your business’s performance.
Change is an excellent reason for bringing in a Marketing Coach. It comes in many forms. You might have a recent promotion. Your company might have been undergoing internal structure changes. You might be taking on new responsibilities after a major corporate upheaval. All of these changes present opportunities to show your skills and talents. However, if you do not handle them well, your professional reputation might suffer. Bringing in a professional to help you through the time of change is a good idea. The coach can give you an outlet to discuss the challenges you face each day. The coach can help you identify any areas of knowledge you might need to expand.
