The Worst and Most Tragic Decision Most Small Business Owners Make…

October 06, 20254 min read

Let’s cut straight to it.

Most small business owners are struggling silently. Rising costs. Flatlining sales. Overwhelm. Decision fatigue. And worst of all… they feel alone.

I am very very sympathetic. I have been there. Too many times and for too long. But the time comes when you have had enough. You cannot take it anymore. Your family cant take anymore. Your mind cant handle anymore. Your health is suffering, your relationships, your finances and on and on….

It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s one game-changing move that can instantly shift your trajectory — and that’s investing in a high-performance business coach.

One of my biggest regrets in 23 years of owning, building and running my own companies is that I wasn’t smart enough to invest in a coach right from day one. What a waste!

One of my favourite quotes springs to mind: Smart people learn from everyone and everything, average people learn from their experiences and stupid people already have all the answers. That was me. STUPID! Never ever again!

The Proof Is In The Numbers

Business coaching isn’t fluff. It’s not “nice to have.” It’s a proven strategy backed by hard stats.

The proof is overwhelming:

Revenue & ROI

  • Businesses report up to 46% higher net revenue after working with a coach

  • 221% average ROI — and in some cases, up to 788%

  • 86% of business owners fully recoup their coaching investment — and 96% say they’d do it again

Growth & Transformation

  • 92% of small-business owners say coaching directly impacted their growth

  • 80% say it increased their confidence

  • 70% improved their communication, relationships, and leadership

  • 77% saw measurable improvements in at least one critical business metric

Culture & Clarity

  • 61% developed better management skills

  • 38% improved company culture

  • 27% got better at financial planning

  • 15% improved their investment decision-making

These aren’t just statistics — they’re real-world transformations. That’s what coaching does. It compresses time. It removes confusion. It unlocks clarity and results.

So, why doesn’t every single business owner invest in a coach?!

The big problem? They don’t know what they don’t know!

You might be an absolute expert in your field but you are not (and probably never will be) a high performance coach. Or even an ordinary business coach for that matter.

Coaching Is Compression

Every single day, you’re either building the business of your dreams… Or you’re staying stuck in a job you created for yourself. Trapped. Spinning your wheels. Working long hours. Missing out on precious family time that you will never ever get back.

Here’s the brutal truth: Most business owners wait far too long to ask for help. They struggle for years thinking,

“I’ll figure it out eventually.” But eventually never comes. Only more stress. More chaos. More time wasted.

A great coach is a shortcut. They give you the strategic thinking, accountability, tools, and mindset you need to win.

And the best part? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Final Thought

If you’re serious about:

  • Growing your sales

  • Making more profit

  • Getting your time and freedom back

  • Building an investment-grade business

  • Becoming the confident leader your team needs…

Then now is the time to take action.
