Does Your Business Coach Get Business?

By Lisa In Blog, Business, Coaching, Entrepreneur, Success /   No Comments

In the last few years, it seems that almost everyone has decided that they have what it takes to be a business coach. Marketers have made business owners feel flawed if they aren’t part of a coaching program or a mastermind, as though investing in these things is trendy and hip rather than an initiative that should be geared towards results.

This month in Thought Readers, we read Seth Godin’s book, This is Marketing. It is a fantastic book for the time we are in right now, as business owners, human beings, and as marketers.

Not to mention, we don’t have any bird feeders or food outside to draw him to us.
