I believe every entrepreneur today needs personal coaching more than ever. For me, it was the fastest way to becoming who I wanted to be. Personal coaching helped me learn the most important skill every entrepreneur needs to learn sooner rather than later – Authentic Leadership.

It starts with the intention to be disruptive, creative and strategic. It starts with the belief in the idea that you were born for a purpose and you have a mission you deserve to accomplish. Your belief becomes your message. Your belief needs to be clear. It needs to express what you feel deep inside.

You need relationships in order to survive and thrive in today’s highly competitive global marketplace. You cannot do life alone. You cannot do life with just anyone. You need the right people. You need the best team. Research suggests 98% of the results come through the engagement and relationships you build with your team.

It starts with making a decision to do things differently. This is a decision to match your outer expressions with your inner experiences. Yes, you may get into trouble for doing this, but do it anyway. The things you say and the things you do need to match with the things you actually believe.

When I was a young entrepreneur a few years ago and struggling to get customers and achieve my business goals, I used to wonder why other young entrepreneurs in my industry seemed to have better control of their businesses than I did. They had more impact, influence and income than me. And I wanted to know how to have the same control over my business like them.

I used to think passion was enough to grow your business, go through life as a young entrepreneur, and succeed with your team. I was wrong, very wrong. I discovered the hard way that you need strategy. I discovered you need to learn how to lead yourself first before you can lead anyone else.
