Coaching the Entrepreneur With AD/HD By David Giwerc, MCC via ADD Assoc
Coaching bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be. An effective coach works with you to transform your vague dreams of entrepreneurial glory into a focused vision that can guide your way. Your coach will help you create short-term, intermediate and long-term goals and to stay on track until you reach them. Finally, coaches help you expand your vision beyond what you thought was possible.
The entrepreneurial coach is one of a growing number of specialized personal performance coaches that includes executive coaches who work with CEO's, writing coaches who help writers meet their deadlines, and personal coaches that help people improve the quality of their relationships and other areas of their personal life. Just as an athletic coach works to bring out the best in a high-performance athlete or a drama coach works with an actor, the entrepreneurial coach works to discover and develop the skills of the entrepreneur. Whether you're developing a business plan or looking for ways to maximize productivity, the entrepreneurial coach is equipped to help.
