What's up, hey there. Thank you so much for tuning into this edition of Build Your Tribes, a quick tip Tuesday.

Today, I want to help you evaluate the prospect or the need that you might have to hire a business coach.

In the position that I'm in, I have the opportunity to speak to a lot of entrepreneurs. Many Fumar knew.

I would say the majority of Fumar knew.

But I also am fortunate enough to run with a circle of really successful entrepreneurs. Those who have been doing it for quite a while.

And I guess that's because I've been doing this for quite a while. The reason why I get talked to a lot of new entrepreneurs is number one because of the show and number two,

because of the programs that I offer, like Marketing Impact Academy, which is really kind of designed for someone who's starting their journey.

And even Insta Club Hub, we've got a lot of relatively new entrepreneurs who are members of that community.

And the one thing that I realize separates kind of a new or sometimes even a struggling entrepreneur.

Maybe someone who's not new, they've been doing it for five or 10 years, but they still continue to struggle.

Still continue to just barely make it profitable year after year.

The biggest difference I find is kind of a mindset around investing in yourself.

So let me just cut to the chase and tell you that the most successful entrepreneurs I know have a coach right now or regularly work with a business coach.

That probably doesn't surprise you.

And you may be thinking to yourself, well, I definitely want to hire a coach at some point when I can afford to.

And so that's the first misconception that I want to address with you is that when I dig deep and start asking other entrepreneurs a little bit about when they hire their first coach,

99.9% of them do so when they feel like they can't afford to do so, but they also feel like they can't afford not to.

Did you know that your chances of being successful beyond the five year markers in entrepreneur is pretty slim?

And I don't say that to scare you because I know you're above average anyways.

Like you're already in the elite crowd because you listen to business development podcasts.

But the likelihood that you're going to fail is very high if you aren't of the mindset that you have to invest in yourself.

You have to invest in your business and you have to you have to try to continually improve.
