Whether you're an innovative entrepreneur in business for yourself or trying to create a successful career in your chosen field, you can do it alone, but is it prudent or expedient to do so? The fact is, you need others working with you, others working alongside you, others working behind you. Nowhere is "no man is an island" more applicable than for the entrepreneur. Finding a mentor or hiring a professional coach or coaching service is an excellent way to gain consistent and relevant feedback when growing a successful entrepreneurship or even when developing a stable and lucrative career.

Just as "it takes a village to raise a child," it takes support, nurturing, care and feeding to build your "empire," your successful entrepreneurship.

Hiring a coach is one of the easiest ways to make an impact on the development of your business. Professional coaching will keep you focused, help you formulate and solidify your goals, and keep you accountable.

A good coach insures that you're not alone.

We often say we want a business, but until you are focused, and I mean laser sharp focused, you will achieve mediocre success, at best. No one reading the article is looking for mediocrity; not in your own enterprise whether that enterprise is product or service oriented, not in your career, not in your freelance business. And those who have chosen writing as their enterprise? Make no mistake, unless you want to starve, this is your business. You, too, need coaching, need mentoring, maybe even more than others because writing is usually such a solitary endeavor.
