Mila Grigg

I am Gordon Grigg, a one-on-one business coaching expert in Nashville, and I am living proof that the idiom “Behind every great man, there is a strong woman” is true. If you follow me and read my articles, you know how proud I am of my lovely wife, Mila Grigg.

She is a best-selling author and my biggest supporter in life. Her most recent book, Forged by Fire: How to Develop an Unstoppable Personal Brand, was recently named one of the top five books to read by Forbes magazine.

As an avid follower, I’d like to talk to you today about her recent LinkedIn post.

“Do you think you know it all?

Have a hard time taking constructive feedback?

Have pride?

Ooof. Well… that’s huge right there. The worst type of brand is one that can’t be coached. If nobody has asked to mentor you – ask yourself why.”

When you read her book, you will find that the brand is you, not the company’s logo, ads, website, or social media accounts.

About pride…

If not, you can read my article and see why pride is a killer and humility is a winner. So learn from my mistakes, and don’t let your pride ruin your life.

Taking her post into account, I want to talk about how crucial one-on-one business coaching and constructive feedback are and why you need to see them as both helpful and regular.

As the name suggests, one-on-one business coaching gives you help specific to your professional and personal goals and needs. The results of one-on-one business coaching will depend on how well you get along with your coach and how well you can take constructive criticism.

So, a good coach will focus on your strengths, help you improve your skills, and give you business advice you might not want to hear, to help your company make money.

The benefits of private, one-on-one business coaching and constructive feedback

All successful people have had business coaches. Because expanding a business is challenging, they have engaged a one-on-one business coach. Of course, they made many expensive mistakes, but coaching shortened their road to success.

See this video that demonstrates how essential coaching has become in modern society.

Now, read why these 21 highly successful people had coaches. 

Finally, let’s explore how a business coach with one-on-one coaching and constructive feedback can help you take your business to the next level.

You can achieve your goals faster.

You will be able to reach your goals faster because the 1-on-1 business coach will focus on your company’s problems and give you helpful information.

He will take into consideration your long-term and personal goals. So he will help you go on a holiday or a business trip and plan appointments to meet your hectic schedule.

You and your business can overcome challenges and roadblocks you don’t know are getting in the way. This is because you and your coach have a stronger relationship, and you listen to your coach’s constructive feedback.

You might be surprised to find that if it weren’t for one man’s persistence throughout the Great Depression, Star Wars might not have come to be. His work had a direct impact on George Lucas’s achievements. Discover his recipe by reading How to find your mission and success.

You can become accountable.

Accountability is essential to your small business’s success. Business coaching’s primary goal is to move you from point A to point B.

Your problem is not constantly raising ROI and increasing income. Dealing with personal growth strategies your coach advises is crucial.

If you remember Danny Bonaduce from the Partridge Family, you might remember a child with bright red hair who was destined to be successful. But it wasn’t until his coach entered his life that things started to improve after he suffered from drugs, legal problems, and homelessness. He now works as a life coach on television, assisting others as they had done for him.

With coaching, you will increase your leadership skills to inspire.

According to Mark Horwitch, a partner at Bain & Company, companies need inspirational leaders throughout the business, not only in the traditional chain of command.

These qualities can and should be taught through business coaching.

Their research shows that inspiring leadership greatly benefits employee commitment, productivity, and happiness.

See the email Elon Mask wrote to his employees. As a great leader, you must build relationships with them, not make them want to leave you.

You will increase your self-confidence.

One of the significant obstacles to our achievement is the talk we have with ourselves. It’s easy to see all the problems, traps, and reasons why we’ll fail, which can make us not want to try.

A good business coach will help you see yourself as successful, develop a plan or strategy to boost your confidence, and eliminate any doubts.

Self-confidence is important for success, but it can be hard to build it up on our own.

You will be better in the decision-making process.

We have specific thoughts, beliefs, or biases about other people or situations that make it harder for us to make good decisions and do well at work.

With one-on-one business coaching, you will see things as they are and be in a better position to make decisions because you will have someone who can assist you in distinguishing truth from perception.

You’ll have more chances to increase your professional network.

If you hire a business coach or another type of mentor, your professional network will grow a lot.

Your one-on-one business coach will not only give you great insight into your own business, but he will also help you connect with like-minded experts.

You will see the bigger picture.

When you work all day, it is easy to focus solely on what is in front of you.

A business coach who gives you the time and knowledge to step back and consider the larger picture will help you recognize that the issue you are worried about is such a minor aspect of a much broader journey that it isn’t worth the effort.

Now you understand that while you can read all the books you want and go to training sessions, seminars, and conferences, real progress is made when you work with a coach.

One-on-one business coaching will help you improve your focus, hold you accountable, boost your confidence, help you shape your ideas, and give you a fresh viewpoint—something we all occasionally need.

Keep in mind that you shouldn’t choose your one-on-one business coach randomly.

You should have your standards for what you want to find in a business coach in addition to considering advice from other friends and business partners.

As we’ve already said, a business coach will help, guide, and speed up your growth, whether you want to start a business, run an existing one, or move up in your field.
