Swallow your pride and hire a coach (but beware)

When you start your own business or go into direct sales no one warns you about the internal struggles that come with being your own boss. Self-doubt, fear, and indecision quickly consume you if you are not careful. As an employee, you have a boss often telling you what you have to do and when you have to do it. There's usually no room for that inner voice to derail you. When the alarm goes off, you get up and go to work because you have someone telling you to. All that changes, however, when you are your own boss. Now it's your choice whether or not to get up. It becomes incredibly easy for you to tell yourself, "Does it really matter if I sleep a few more hours?" Yes, it does! One morning sleeping late doesn't kill your business, but it does open the door to a string of bad decisions if you don't find a way to hold yourself accountable. In this episode, we take a look at the need for accountability as you build your business. It's the hardest thing an entrepreneur ever has to do. The second hardest thing is to come to grips with the fact that it is okay to need help doing it. That's where a good coach can make all the difference in the world.
