As a small business owner, sole
trader or contractor, you no doubt have expertise in one or possibly more
jobs. However, being an organizational
leader across multiple channels is something quite different. But just like
Behind every successful athlete is a great coach, and success in business is no
different.
No matter how experienced you and
your employees are, you cannot expect to have all the skills and knowledge your
business needs, particularly as requirements change as your business grows.
Sometimes you want to put a good
business plan in place to meet your targets, but don’t know where to start or
you’re looking for new strategies to grow the business. At that time you need the right advisor to
help you out.
If you examine the top business
around the world and you’ll find they have one thing in common: their success
is a collaborative effort that relies on getting the best advice and guidance
in key areas of their operation. There is no disgrace in seeking out help to
take you and your business to the next level.
What is a business advisor?
A business advisor is anyone who
can help you solve business problems or bridge a gap in your knowledge and
skills.
There are many different types of
advisors in all areas of business. Some advisors are generalists with a wide
range of knowledge and expertise. Others are specialists in a specific area,
e.g. marketing gurus or leadership coaches.
Choosing the right advisor
The best business advisors are
not cheerleaders on the sideline, nor drill sergeants who bark orders, they
challenge you, take a hands-on approach and proactively work to build your
skills.
You should look for a business advisor who suits your particular working style and has the gusto and
experience to make a real difference.
It’s essential to check that the
advisor suits your particular circumstances. Ideally, you want an advisor who:
1- Understands
your industry
2- Has
worked with businesses your size
3- Has
experience of any particular issues you want to deal with
Benefits of having a right Advisor:
Get the right guidance
You need guidance to get from
where you are to where you want to be, and again once you get there. This is
where the value of an advisor lies. A good business coach will not only
challenge you, they’ll also act as a role model because of the experience they
bring to the table. Approaching your business from the outside, rather than
inside, they can offer unique insights. With the right guidance by your side,
you’ll have the tools and support you need to navigate your way to success.
Uncover your strengths
A great sports coach understands
how to channel potential in the right way so effectiveness soars, and a great
business advisor is the same. Through evaluating and understanding your
business, they can help you discover your strengths and the areas you need to
work on. Recognizing these is one thing, but getting results also requires hard
work. Your coach will push you past your comfort zone and keep you constantly
moving forward.
Accountability
One of the most important tasks
of a business coach is holding you accountable for your actions. In business,
you make decisions based on your situation and the things you can control. If
you make a bad decision, you’re to blame. A good coach will ensure you follow a
considered process rather than just one part and take accountability when
things go wrong, so you can learn from mistakes and move on.
The bottom line is, you cannot
and should not, go it alone. To hit your stride and become a success, you need
the right advisor by your side. A business advisor can help you develop the
skills and resources you need to be a success. By benefitting from their
experience and expertise, you’ll learn more about yourself and your business,
while gaining that much-desired competitive edge.
Getting a business advisor to
help in grey areas will save you time, resources and energy in the long run.
Your business is also much more likely to grow and succeed.
