Even with a solid business model and the right skills, individual coaching is the best way to apply knowledge in context, press yourself to high-achievement, and hold you accountable to your goals. One-on-on coaching sessions and "on-call" resources help you to develop a personal strategy for your business along with an action plan to make it a reality. But, having a plan is only the first step. Coaching is an effective way to ensure that you focus on the most important things and avoid distractions that could hold you back.
