I get approached by a lot of people asking when is the right time to get a business coach. Some of our Ghost CEO clients come to us in the startup phase; others start after several successful years in business. The common factor for all of them is that they realize there is a better way to build business. My partner and founder of the Ghost CEO Coaching Program, Chris Flett came up with this checklist:

Are you ready for a Ghost CEO?

• You wish you had someone objective and knowledgeable to talk professionally with
• You want a sober second thought when making professional decisions
• You want to move ahead quicker than you feel you are doing right now
• You want to start planning your professional future with quantitative results
• You are looking for an edge in business
• You are accountable, keep your word and want to work smart
• You are honest, open and interested in learning and trying new things.

If you find yourself doing the same things over and over in your business and getting lackluster results, that is a good indicator that you might consider working with a business coach. They will give you a fresh perspective and challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and do things differently.
