Find coaches who ‘walk the walk’ and not just ‘talk the talk’ – there are certainly plenty of those out there. I is worth asking pertinent questions to make sure that the people you will look to for advice and inspiration are worth the attention!

Thanks for all the great comments I am seeing here. I have a few coaches at the moment. That might seem funny, but summertime is the time when I can focus more on what I want to improve and learn. I am working on some specific areas of marketing and finance, and of course self improvement.
I use my experience with a variety of coaches to help write these posts.

Good information. Definitely true that not all coaches are created equally, whether they be internet based or any profession. It’s important to find one who understands and works with individual personalities and is able to best utilize each individual’s inherent strengths and weaknesses, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. A coach who only talks and never listens is of little value. I learned that the hard way in another industry.

I agree that having a coach can be a major decision on weather you are successful or not. Especially if you are new to Internet Marketing or You are new to a particular business. Either way it will help to have someone who has been there made the mistakes and is now successful to help keep you on track. Great post thanks.

When it comes to internet coaches, I always look to someone who is achieving the sort of results I want to achieve. I think this is important when finding a mentor. I don’t believe in taking advice from someone who has not already ‘been there, done that’.

“Internet Coaches should have a high standard of ethics” You are so correct here. There are Coaches and actually people in general that are unethical and just want the money. As you say it’s wise to do your research first ask lot’s of questions and you’ll soon find someone you can trust and work with

Another great post, I’m following your series! It is true what you say, coaching in any form, be it face-to-face, classroom, mentoring, etc is a key to success and there is just no other way around it.
