Recently I had the pleasure of chatting on the phone with a lawyer who had contacted me after doing a lot of on-line research.
Many things were discussed relating to the failure of his practice to produce much in profit and its poor cashflows...
One very interesting fact emerged.
The practitioner had spent nearly $25,000 in the past twelve months on a Business Coach.
While he averred that he had been "helped somewhat" he said he had not seen much yet by way of results...perhaps his own fault he suggested.
My comment...if you feel you need a Business Coach, and they definitely have their place, get one who has a long track record in your Profession!
In most cases the cost will be a fraction of what my prospect spent in this example...and any such person worth their salt will get you strong observable results quite quickly.
The business coach in this situation had no legal practice experience whatsoever.

Yes, I agree that you need to be very careful while selecting a business coach. He should have the adequate knowledge of a subject or the industry, to ensure success in your business. Research is the most significant factor that would enable you to select the best available coach.
