\"processBuilding a business, whether part or full time, is a process.\u00a0 It takes work and a willingness to put yourself out there.\u00a0 There are many types of businesses and each brings unique challenges.\u00a0 When you look at the research, new businesses failure rates range from 50% to 96% (that is a huge difference).\u00a0 Read more on this at http:\/\/www.successharbor.com\/percentage-businesses-fail-09092015\/<\/a> and then keep reading to learn how you can be a success – http:\/\/www.businessknowhow.com\/startup\/business-failure.htm<\/a> and http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/neilpatel\/2015\/01\/16\/90-of-startups-will-fail-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-10\/#55faade355e1<\/a> are a few articles to get you started.<\/p>\n

What does it take to be successful?\u00a0 Of course a product or service that people want, paying attention to what, how, and who, flexing to the market and your opportunities, consistency, follow through, and quality to name a few things.<\/p>\n

There are a number of great books and other resources about being an entrepreneur.\u00a0 One I really like is The Little Black Book of Entrepreneurship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interesting to note is that many think about being a coach and in fact plan to work independently without connecting this to being an entrepreneur or business owner<\/a>.\u00a0 Yes, there are jobs for professional coaches; alternatively, working independently<\/a> is more than learning to coach.\u00a0 When you move into the coaching profession, do so with an awareness of which opportunities interest you and your own willingness to make it happen.<\/p>\n

If you want a job coaching, then you will prepare by building your qualifications with coach training, creating a great resume or CV, applying, networking, and interviewing.<\/p>\n

If you want to work independently, in addition to coaching certification investigate what it means to be an entrepreneur and business owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
