Why Do I Need a Business Coach?

Is a Business Coach Worth It?

How Coaching Helps Small Businesses Grow

At Revby, we work with entrepreneurs and small business owners who wear a lot of hats. It's not uncommon for them to come to us feeling overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, and unsure about what the next step should be. They might already have a business plan or a general idea of what their next steps may be, but something still feels stuck.

That's where business coaching comes in.

What Business Coaching Really Is

There are plenty of consultants out there who will analyze your business, create reports, and suggest changes. And while we do offer consulting services too, business coaching is something different.

A business coach doesn't just give you answers. They help you ask the right questions.

They work alongside you, helping you:

• Build clarity about your goals
• Set priorities and take action
• Stay accountable
• Develop your leadership mindset
• Track progress in ways that actually matter to you

It's not just about working harder. It's about working smarter—with intention, direction, and confidence.

Coaching vs. Consulting: What's the Difference?

We get this question all the time, and it's a fair one. Here's a quick way to think about it:

• Consulting is more directive. We step in, assess your business and offer specific, often technical and strategic recommendations. Think of it as strategy and structure to solve a challenge faced by your business, be it financial, brand-related, or operational.
• Coaching is more collaborative. We help you reflect, refocus, and act from a place of clarity. It's about attaining a positive business mindset, intentional decision-making, and realistic growth over time – all traits of a business owner that knows what they're doing.

A Practical Example: Coaching vs. Consulting in Action

Let's say you run a small but growing retail business. You're hitting about $15K/month in revenue, but your profits are flat, your team is stretched, and you don't feel like you're working on the right things.

• A consultant might analyze your financials, point out that your expenses are too high, recommend more efficient and affordable digital tools, and advise that you pursue additional target audiences. As a result, perhaps your expenses are reduced and your sales increase over a period of 2-3 months.

• A coach, on the other hand, would sit with you weekly or biweekly to unpack where your time and energy are going. Together, you'd uncover that you're spending too much time micromanaging operations and prioritizing the wrong tasks. The coach would help you shift your role toward strategic planning, improve your workflow as a business owner, and set concrete performance metrics. You'll spend on business growth strategy, find an increase in personal productivity, and regain confidence as a business owner. Over 2-3 months, your business goals at more attainable and you enjoy what you do.

A Practical Example: Coaching vs. Consulting in Action

When you work with a business coach, you're investing in more than simple advice. You're investing in:

• Clarity: You get clear on what you actually want and how to get there.
• Focus: You stop spinning your wheels and start moving in the right direction.
• Accountability: You set goals and follow through.
• Confidence: You make decisions with less second-guessing.
• Momentum: You build habits that keep you growing even when things get hard.

Is Coaching Right for You?

If you're a small business owner or solopreneur and feel that…

• You have a big vision, but it feels scattered
• You struggle to prioritize or make consistent progress
• You want a sounding board who gets business and cares about your growth
• You're tired of doing it all alone
