Risk-taker. Passionate. Competitive. Motivated self-starter.
These are just some of the qualities that you’ll find in the general profile of an entrepreneur. And in my experience coaching entrepreneurs, it’s all true.
And it’s also why I love coaching entrepreneurs. Their energy and willingness to do what it takes to succeed inspires me too, and it’s always such a joy to watch them realize their goals.
And while these qualities make entrepreneurs ideal candidates for accountability coaching, the reasons for their success with the accountability coaching program goes deeper than just their ambition and willingness to take risks.
So, on that note, let’s explore five reasons why entrepreneurs thrive with accountability coaching.
#1 – Entrepreneurs Often Work Alone
And when you work alone, it falls on YOU to crack the whip. On yourself. And that’s not always easy.
It’s certainly easier to take action when you have a boss breathing down your neck.
But entrepreneurs are usually their own boss, and while this brings unparalleled levels of freedom, it’s also much harder to take consistent action.
It’s also easier to fall prey to procrastination.
But when you add an accountability element to your work environment, everything changes.
It’s that missing ingredient that entrepreneurs need to actively bring into their business because it doesn’t exist naturally.
And when they do add accountability, they almost always see massive results in their work output.
#2 – They Want to Take Their Productivity to the Next Level
In other words, they’re passionate about succeeding and they’re motivated to improve.
And when you combine this level of motivation with the structured deadlines that accountability coaching provides, productivity tends to skyrocket.
Entrepreneurs also tend to quickly soak up the productivity hacks and success habits that I recommend because they’re always looking for that edge to get more done every day.
#3 – Entrepreneurs Are Usually Very Busy
Starting and running a business takes a lot of work. It can be easy to forget commitments, or let deadlines slide when there is so much on your plate.
And that’s where an accountability coach comes in.
They’re your support system through this crazy ride, and it’s their job to help you remember your deadlines and encourage you to keep going even when things seem overwhelming.
And so, entrepreneurs tend to find a lot of value in the kind of support system that accountability coaching brings because it helps them to stay organized and laser-focused in the midst of all the chaos.
#4 – Entrepreneurs Have BIG Dreams
Which is amazing. I totally support setting big goals and striving to create the life you want.
But it’s easy to get lost in the dream and never take the action needed to bring it into reality.
What we do in our accountability coaching sessions is take those big dreams and break them down into all the little necessary action steps that must be taken to get there.
Then we organize them into a coherent action plan by prioritizing them, scheduling them, and setting deadlines.
It’s not a new or unique method, but it is very effective in helping you succeed.
As they say, many creeks make a river, and it’s consistent action over time that builds success.
#5 – Entrepreneurs View Accountability Coaching as an Investment
When you work with an accountability coach, you’re investing in yourself in order to improve your personal performance so that you can take more action in and on your business.
And so, entrepreneurs tend to take the accountability coaching quite seriously and are willing to do the work to make sure they get a positive return on their investment.
They show up for the scheduled calls, they commit to building the new habits, and they’re willing to work on their weaknesses.
