7 Questions To Vet A Wedding Business Coach Or Mentor
So, you're tired of the hamster wheel of free webinars and consuming hour after hour of podcasts —wasting your time listening passively and hoping to glean tiny nuggets of useful strategy— and you've realized it’s time to invest in help to grow your wedding business.
You get what you pay for, right? Free content doesn’t have the meat and potatoes you’re craving, you want real actionable strategy to make big leaps in your wedding business.
You know it’s time for a business coach.
Congrats, that investment is an important and exciting step!
How do you choose the right wedding business coach or mentor for you?
It seems like options for online education and coaching are popping up everywhere. The #weducation market is as crowded as our wedding industry, right? Anyone can be an "expert" with the right branding and marketing know-how, or the sheer confidence to say they’re available to help. But confidence —or doing one thing really well— does not equate to an overall business strategy expert.
Relax, don't whip out your credit card too quickly, just because the price is right and the sales page is slick.
Remember, you want to make real progress and results. Not a quick fix for the lowest price tag. You’re done with free and cheap.
You've got some digging to do.
7 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN CHOOSING A WEDDING BUSINESS COACH:
Are they where you want to be?
Has this "expert" done the work themselves?
Have they worked on real weddings, with the portfolio and reviews to show for it?
Have they managed the day-to-day headaches of building a successful wedding business, getting to full time, and gaining the respect of clients and colleagues?
Do they have the stats, results, and social proof to back it up?
Have they been where you are and built a wedding business and a brand that you admire?
Have they invested in their own education and certifications, both in business building and industry-specific skills?
When it comes to choosing a coach or mentor for your wedding business, it’s important that you ask yourself the hard questions.
You’ve got to take a close look at everyone you’re considering investing your hard-earned money in.
Don’t get caught up in branding and bravado.
That’s not what creates real results.
Now let's consider what do you actually want help with? Figure out what pain points you’re struggling with most and then you can decide on the most suitable approach or the right coaching style for your, or maybe everything can be solved with a specific course.
Whatever that route turns out to be, I urge you to take time and consider your options carefully. If coaching is the best fit, you want to make sure you’re working with someone you connect with, admire, and who aligns with your values.
