Business Coach Vs. Business Consultant

"The best way to describe the distinctions between a "Business Coach and a "Business Consultant is that a consultant provides a solution to the problem and a Business Coach ask the right question in order for you to discover the solution to the problem.

"The business coach help guide you to find results through your own thinking processes and problem-solving skills. This allows you to 'own' results because your actions are ultimately guided by your individual way of reasoning and ability to get the right thing done." 

"Just like a sports coach, whose job is to focus on the "bigger picture" by bringing out the players ability by identifying his/her needs, and planning and implementing a strategic suitable training programmes. As well as, developing the athlete physical and psychological fitness, and providing the best possible practical conditions in order to maximize their performance." 

A small business coach works on bringing out the best that's already inside you. The coach focus on the “bigger picture” of what it is you want to create for your business (and your lifestyle), and talk about what will keep you motivated to move forward on your dreams, goals and tasks."
