Tips on Finding a Good Coach
By Matt Bacak

If you’re looking for a good coach to teach you the ropes of online marketing, do you know what to look for? Who can you trust? What do you look for in a coach? And do you need a coach? If so, what should you expect from one? These are very good questions recently asked by a student of mine and I’d be happy to share my experience so that I can help you also discover what you need to look for when searching for a good coach.

I’ve actually had a coach, and that’s the only reason why my business is where it’s at today. It’s simply due to the fact that I had a mentor to guide me along the way. Of course I made some mistakes, but without a good coach, I would have made a lot more. The idea I’ve always had was you want to get as close to the source as possible. If you can’t get the actual coach, if that coach has a partner, go with them.

I was a coach and had multiple different coaches that were like coaching partners. Actually, they were students of mine that chose they wanted to do some coaching for me because they really loved what I taught. I even had my brother doing it with me. When my brother was doing the coaching, it was really effective. It was actually a really huge selling feature for those purchasing my services, (even though it was not directly with me). But it worked well for the simple fact that they got my brother. You can’t get any closer than that to the source! It was great for his students because any time my brother had any questions, he would actually call me up on the phone anytime to ask me to clarify anything or ask for advice. I let my brother call me anytime – even if it was 3:00 am in the morning! That was really beneficial for a lot of his students. He also understood the whole process, had been around and actually seen and done it, so he had first-hand knowledge of the business. So, if you’re looking for a coach make sure that if you can’t get them directly; make sure that their coaching partner has first-hand knowledge.

What other things should you look for in a good coach? Find one that’s genuine and that really enjoys helping people. That way you know that your money will be well spent. The last thing you want is to hire someone who sees’s you as a burden. Your coach also needs to welcome questions. If you have a coach that makes you feel as though your questions are stupid or makes you feel inadequate, they’re not meant for you. A good coach welcomes all types of questions and doesn’t think of any one question as a stupid one. Remember, you want to learn from the best. So, consider a coach who you admire both personally and professionally. This will not only help you stay motivated but it will also help you achieve the success you desire.

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet. When you build a list of hot and hungry prospects you control your future. Discover how to use the internet and turn your computer into a cash gushing machine.

Tips on What to Look For in a Good Coach
By Matt Bacak

Good coaches are not hard to come by if you know what to look for. There are coaches that are money hungry with no experience, while there are others that actually really want to help you achieve success. But whoever you hire, make sure that they have actually walked the walk. Only hire a coach who has achieved the success you want and not one that’s only read about it. The only person that can really help you and mentor you is one with real world knowledge.

The other thing you want to think about with a coach from that perspective, is to realize that there are two kinds of coaches out there. Let’s look at the sport of basketball as an example. There are some coaches that are coaching basketball teams that never played the game and then there are other coaches that played the game. Do you see where I’m coming from? There are coaches that have done the business and succeeded in it and that’s why they are teaching it, while there are also others who have never had a successful business but are coaching based upon textbook knowledge. You need a coach who’s been there and done that. Don’t short change yourself by investing in the coaching of someone who lacks real-world knowledge.

Don’t look for a coach specifically for information. I highly recommend that you look for a coach specifically to keep yourself on track and to hold yourself accountable as well as one that provides good information. This is what I did and continue to do, as it helps you to take action. Actually, if you can get into a mastermind group, that’s even better. But best of all, you learn about what others are doing and their successes help push you to not give up and to keep going. I highly recommend a mastermind group because they help you remain accountable.

As you look for your coach or mastermind group, look at their track record. How many success stories have they produced not only for themselves but others? Follow these tips and there should be no reason why you can’t find a good coach or group that will help you get to the next level of success.
