Why the Best Business Coaches often Run Their Own Businesses
Apr 21, 2025
When choosing a business coach, experience matters and having 'relevant' experience is even better.
A coach who is also an entrepreneur brings something powerful to the table: **firsthand insight**.
They’ve 'lived' the entrepreneurial life. They’ve done the long days, had the challenges, the wins (and the failures). These experiences build empathy, credibility, and wisdom.
Here’s why working with a coach who runs their own business is a game-changer:
✅ Practical Experience – They’ve built, grown, and managed businesses themselves. They get it.
✅ Relatability & Empathy– They understand your highs and lows because they’ve been there too.
✅ Authenticity & Credibility– A proven track record makes them trustworthy.
✅ Advice based on Experience – Strategies that have been tested. No hypotheses.
✅ Mentorship & Guidance– They don’t just coach; they relate, sharing the path they’ve already traveled.
In a world full of theory, choose a coach who brings the "real thing".
