The statistics are scary, showing that only 70 percent of them are still afloat within two years and that, by the five year mark, only half of them survive. The element that makes the difference between a successful business and a struggling one, for many people, is getting business coaching sessions.

"Many people are not quite sure at first what business coaching even is," explains Brad Sugars, Founder and Chairman of ActionCOACH, a company specializing in providing business coaching services. "Once they realize just how many ways business coaching can help, they often wonder they didn't team up with one much sooner."

Increasingly, people are learning that a business coach is an important asset for any type of small- to medium-sized business.

• Business coaching can bring out the best in you and your employees. Just like a coach out on the soccer field, they know how to recognize your strengths and how to get you to use those skills to your advantage.

• The job of a business coach is to help you succeed. They do this by providing motivation and direction, and by helping you to set and reach your goals.
