Are You A Strategist, Consultant, or Coach?

Fear Less, Brand More

So what is the difference between a strategist, a consultant, and a coach?  That's what I'll be discussing today.  These terms get thrown around a lot, used interchangeably, and used wrong so that just adds to the confusion.

A Strategist will help you get super clear on the plan for your business.  A strategist is always looking for an actionable plan, exactly what the next steps are, and what direction you want to move into.

A Consultant will take something specific off of your plate.  This is where service providers fit in, managing one specific area very well so you don't have to manage it all yourself on a day to day basis.

A Coach will help guide you and ask leading questions, but they won't give you the answers.  They work mainly with mindset, behavior, and emotions that are getting in your way, and aren't always just for your business.

When it comes to hiring someone, you need to understand what your business needs. If you don't have a strategy in place, you should not be hiring a consultant or a coach. You should be getting really clear on that strategy. . And iIf you have a strategy and you're struggling with getting to that next step, but you know what the next step is, then that's usually when you want to hire a coach.
