Summary
It's time for another installment of #BizTipFriday, and if you feel like your business has hit a ceiling, I have some news for you that might be a little tough to hear: Your business is a direct reflection of you. It physically cannot grow beyond your own mental limitations, your fears, or the boundaries of your comfort zone, and this is something that needs to be talked about.
Today, I break down the 5 most crucial things that only a real coach can provide. We're moving past the "to-do lists" and the "Magic 8-Ball" style of advice to look at what actually causes a breakthrough!

I'll be sharing the exact exercises and audits you can use to coach yourself, and I'll even be bringing people on live to work through their biggest bottlenecks in real time.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Mind Your Business podcast, BizTip Friday edition. Today I'm breaking down the |
| 0:06.2 | five most crucial things that only a coach can do. So, stay tuned. Hi, I'm James Wedmore, and with 17 |
| 0:19.8 | years online, I've built my business to over $12 million in sales per year. |
| 0:26.5 | And this is the first non-business business podcast that shows you how to apply the principles of spirituality, energy, and mindset to grow your business beyond your wildest dreams, all from the inside |
| 0:40.6 | out. This is the Mind Your Business podcast. What's up everybody? James Woodmer here. Thank you so much |
| 0:49.0 | for tuning into a Biz Tip Friday edition of the Mind Your Business podcast where I love to give |
| 0:52.7 | real powerful, tangible |
| 0:54.6 | and tactical content that you can deploy immediately within your business. Today is no |
| 1:00.0 | exception. I want to talk to you about the five things that you can only learn from a coach. |

| 1:37.0 | And if your business is a byproduct of you, when you crow, your business gets to grow. |
| 1:43.4 | And a great coach is designed to help you do that. |
| 1:46.1 | I also think as I go through these really important distinctions, you get to listen to this from |
| 1:52.7 | a couple of different aspects. The first is obviously knowing what you should be looking for in a |
| 1:58.7 | great coach. I know there's a lot of Charlottons and overnight experts popping up every single day and that can be overwhelming and make your head |
| 2:05.7 | spin, but also a reminder that you are a coach. Chances are, if you're one of my most common |
