219 - Do You Need a Coach or a Babysitter?

What’s up, Healthpreneurs? Welcome to the Healthpreneur podcast. Today, I want you to give it to me straight: Do you need a coach or a babysitter? As you’re looking to grow and get through challenges, do you want someone who’ll coddle you – or do you want results?

I’m not the guy that’ll tell you that everything’s great when it’s not. I’m just not. If you want that, you should look for a babysitter. I empathize with my clients but also understand that they need a strong support. 

As coaches, our clients depend on us to show up as our best and offer our best. They need honest advice, feedback, and solutions. Otherwise, they’ll never push themselves forward and past their challenges. Tune in to hear when to hire a babysitter, when to hire a therapist – and when to invest in a coach.
