According to Tara Talbot, former VP of Human Resources at Workopolis, “the reason that most people get hired is the same as the reason most people get fired.” And that reason is personality. I want to add to that and say the same reason most people choose to work for you is the same reason they leave you.

When I was a young entrepreneur a few years ago and struggling to get customers and achieve my business goals, I used to wonder why other young entrepreneurs in my industry seemed to have better control of their businesses than I did. They had more impact, influence and income than me. And I wanted to know how to have the same control over my business like them.

I believe when it comes to growing your business as an entrepreneur you need to do it in a way that makes people feel safe and secure around you. This is about being an effective leader and exuding great energy and making others feel good around you.

It starts with getting clear about you as an entrepreneur. You are not any different from other entrepreneurs around you who seem to have more control over their businesses and lives. You just haven’t figured out how to have the right people around you who can help you maximize your potential.

I believe if you really want to accomplish your dreams and become who you want to be in business and in your life, personal coaching is what ultimately matters. Not the "technical rigor" of your skills. Not your credentials. Not your educational qualifications. Not your professional experience. Not your ideas.

I believe every entrepreneur today needs personal coaching more than ever. For me, it was the fastest way to becoming who I wanted to be. Personal coaching helped me learn the most important skill every entrepreneur needs to learn sooner rather than later – Authentic Leadership.
