You brought up a very good point. As I mentioned, if the business coach resonates with you then go for it. Follow your intuition. Having said that, there are plenty of Life Coaches who help people become a better YOU. I think if you can find a LIFE coach who is also a business coach, then you have found a GEM! Unfortunately, what most entrepreneurs fail to see is that whether you are a solo-preneur or a small business with employees, vendors, and partners, you still need systems and automation tools in place for the sake of efficiency and maximizing profits. Moreover, having a clear understanding of your business model and how it supports the life you envision is critical. As a fan of Buffini, I understand the importance of being the best YOU, but you still need to have systems, procedures, and tools in place, otherwise, you will always be the bottle neck of your business and that is recipe for burn-out.

I agree with why you have said here in many ways but there are a few parts I am not certain about based on what the consumer is looking for. Business coaches assist you on your business. Making the title and post appropriate. I have found though in many cases as you go so goes your business. We intellectually understand our businesses in most cases. The roadblocks we often face are personal roadblocks. I have a human relations coach and we rarely talk about systems for business. We work on me and my interaction with others. Becoming a better me and my business doubled in 2009. All the systems and tips and marketing strategies go nowhere without being the best you. Also, some owners do not want to become a multimillion dollar enterprise because it can change the dynamic of the skill you bring as a coach. Staying smaller and being more personal works for others at times. There is a LO I could say about all of this as you probably know from the post on facebook that you commented on.
