Business Coaching Vs Breakthrough Business Mentoring
Your business has incredible, untapped potential because virtually every business does. That’s been proven time and time again over the 20+ years in the coaching industry.
Often it surprises business owners just how much growth their business can achieve in just a couple of months – without spending any time or money on lead generation.
The industry has changed since Tim Stokes’ (the Managing Director of Profit Transformations) entry into it back in 1997 as one of the first and a pioneer. Its still an evolving industry so its worth your while to be clear on what services any business coach provides and if they the right one for you.
Business Coaches
These days there are many skills and level of expertise with business coaches and it depends on your needs as which business coach will be best to assist you.
Your decision, with which one you chose can make a big difference to your situation, or unfortunately little difference at all.
The “typical” business coach has some business ownership experience, but rarely over 10 years before becoming a business coach. Their experience is important to establish when considering a business coach for your business.
A business coach will work with you for 4 to 8 hours per month, usually by phone or a Zoom video meeting.
Business coaches will tend to ask you lots of questions and from lengthy discussions identify the possible solutions that you need to work on for the next week, so they can talk to you the next week.
It’s typically up to you to create content or to do a lot of work on your own between your meetings.
Most business coaches rarely have 10 or 20 years of experience on what they are discussion with you and often ask more question than give solutions so results can be slow.
That’s where an experienced business coach is very different because they will share experience of what works, and the best ones will give you ready-to-use systems that can save you dozens of hours.
A very experienced coach can save you months of work, so their higher than average prices are an investment, plus you get results faster in terms of income.
Less experienced business coaches can be a big help for new or inexperienced business owners who need to learn basics of business, sales and marketing.
Business Mentoring
You can typical spot a business mentor by their greying hair due to their numerous decades of experience in business.
They have typically owned and built multiple businesses, and bring a depth of wisdom to your business beyond the usual business coaches.
Their understanding of financials and management reports that you and your business benefit from are typically very good to excellent.
Marketing know-how is often where they are weak with specific know-how details of execution, especially with digital marketing.
They are very systems focused, due to their common background of work in big businesses or corporations.
They understand the road ahead due to working with bigger, multi-million dollar revenue businesses.
With a strong understanding of facts and figures, along with financials they understand a lot about cash flow and profit margins.
Like a business coach, usually they don’t provide ready to use, ‘drop-in’ systems or ready to use spreadsheets or analysis tools as our mentoring provides.
The best aspect of a business mentor is, they’ve seen businesses like yours go through growth phases and can reassure you on what lies ahead and how to navigate the potential challenges.
The best of business mentoring with these points are all included in our one on one business mentoring service.

- Lack of ‘business freedom’ – where you’re completely stress-free and can take a two month holiday any time
These challenges are all too common for all business owners to put up with and a business transformation mentor can help you to conquer all of these – permanently.
Instead of hourly based discussions, you save time with our training because of the dozens and dozens of ready-to-use systems and templates.
The Affordability of a Business Course with the Power of One on One Mentoring
In a small, intimate group where you all share and discussion the implemented solutions, you’ll proactively see the challenges in your business fade away. Not in years, but in a number of weeks – because our solutions work!
Our training has been empowering business owners to achieve true ‘business freedom’ – where working at all in the business is optional – for over two decades. See some results here in video interviews.
Best of all, the training focuses on increasing the Net Profit Margin, which is the best way by far to increase cash reserves in the bank.
Only with surplus cash can you afford to hire a general manager to take the management workload off your own shoulders, so you can take a well-earned break or concentrate on bigger, entrepreneurial ventures with days more free time.
