You might be thinking, if hiring a business coach is crucial to my long-term success, how do I hire the right one? First, research to ensure you hire a business coach that will help solve your most pressing challenges. Second, hire a business coach you can trust and feel confident hiring.

If you're considering hiring a business coach, do your research. People and coaches aren't always what they appear to be—questions to ask to determine if the coach is aligned with your values.

• Is it clear what this coach believes?
• Does this coach have new-age beliefs? You'll learn this from the copy on their website and social posts. Do they use terminology like the universe, manifestation, astrology, heart-centered, etc.? This question is imperative if you are a Christian and want a coach who aligns with your values.
• Does the coach use curse words? They probably aren't a good fit for you if you do not or if that language offends you.
• Is it clear who this coach serves and who their soulmate clients are? Do you fit into the person described in their copy?
• If you are a woman, do you want a business coach for women who will truly understand your challenges of work, family, motherhood, and womanhood? This coach/client relationship is invaluable. Your femininity is crucial to your business success and living authentically and confidently in who God created you to be. Having the support of a female business coach is a blessing because she will understand the challenges of being a female entrepreneur.

• Does this coach have the experience and expertise I need? How long have they been in business? What is their career journey? Are they certified?
• Will this coach understand my business and what I need?
• Can this coach help me with all aspects of my business? If they specialize, then be sure that specialty is where your root problem(s) lies.
• What do testimonials say about this coach? Do they indicate she/he can help me?
• Do this coach's clients have businesses similar to mine?
• Did the coach provide value on the discovery call? Was it proven that she/he is the one to hire?
• Can I trust this coach?
• Do I feel an emotional connection with this coach?

The complexities of life often lead to difficult and heart-wrenching experiences such as divorce recovery. Embracing this journey is essential for personal growth and healing. Acknowledging the pain, seeking support, and consciously working through these emotions can lead to profound transformations.

One powerful story of transformation is that of Alberta Jordan, a divorce recovery and trauma coach. Her work focuses on helping individuals who have gone through a divorce and experienced significant loss. Life after a traumatic event, like divorce, often includes a loss of self. Jordan's coaching helps clients find their footing again but with a renewed sense of exhilaration and purpose.

Her dedication to guiding others through their darkest times has been life-changing for many. By leveraging her own experiences and deep understanding of trauma recovery, she aids others in reclaiming their lives and stepping forward with confidence.

Personal experiences shape the approach coaches take in their professional lives. For Jordan, her traumatic experiences, including abuse and a life-threatening brain hemorrhage, became the foundation of her empathetic and effective coaching methods. After her recovery, she pursued a master's degree in healthcare and realized her natural inclination toward coaching trauma survivors.

This journey of self-discovery and professional realization led Jordan to become certified and establish a practice focused on divorce recovery. Her clients benefit from her profound understanding of trauma and her compassionate, hands-on approach to recovery and empowerment.

Jordan's coaching emphasizes actionable strategies for overcoming the debilitating effects of divorce trauma. Some key aspects of her program include:

1. Financial and Administrative Organization: Helping clients audit and manage their business-related expenses to reduce unnecessary financial strain.

2. Client Relations Management: Addressing and rectifying situations where clients still need to fulfill their financial obligations, ensuring fair and sustainable business practices.

3. SEO and Website Optimization: Teaching clients the importance of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and helping them improve their online visibility to attract more business.

These practical steps are coupled with emotional and psychological support to help clients navigate their path to divorce recovery more effectively.

It's crucial to address trauma's root causes for genuine healing. Trauma can severely impact one's ability to make rational decisions, often leading to repeated patterns of toxic relationships and victimhood. Jordan's coaching digs deep into these root causes, helping clients heal old wounds and empowering them to make better life choices.

I recently asked a potential client what would make her say YES to a coaching package. She said knowing there would be an ROI (return on investment) would help her say YES. I figured if she had that question, many others may, too. The ROI of coaching is multifold. There are many facts to evaluate if you are considering hiring a coach. Let's review some of them.

There are a few ways to think about the ROI of coaching. The first is financial.

Let's use the example of paying $5000 for a coaching program.

If your clients pay you $2500 and you get two new clients while working with the coach, you have received a solid ROI on your investment. Essentially, the work you did with the coach paid for itself.

However, the ROI doesn't stop there. You will not only attract two new clients by working with the coach. When working with a coach to identify problem areas in your business, mindset, strategy, offers, pricing, expenses, etc., you open the door for more opportunities. The best part is that you have someone to hold you accountable for implementing the recommendations and strategies you came up with together.

The ROI of coaching is not one-time only.

As you implement new strategies, adopt a better mindset, and make changes within your business, you create a lifetime of earning potential. You will attract not only one or two new clients but many more for years to come.

For example, if you work with a coach and implement suggested strategies and you get 100 new clients, you have now made $250,000—you have an ROI of 50 times your investment.

In addition, if you improve your mindset and simplify your business model, you will save time, energy, and money and have a better quality of life.

Together, you create a lifetime of limitless earning potential.

If you are tired of feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, feeling frustrated, and not seeing the results you want, consider hiring a coach. If you are interested in my business growth strategy and coaching programs, schedule a call with me. Here is the link to my calendar.
