Where do you turn when you have a question about your business?
The best business leaders aren’t those who always know the right solution for everything. They might sometimes need a business coach to help them. These business leaders are the ones who know when to seek advice and who often have a stable of trusted advisors they can turn to. Some of these relationships may be informal, but many business owners also seek out formal advisory relationships through local associations, independent consultants and business coaches.
So, who do business owners trust the most?
Peers:
Nearly a third (31%) listed fellow business owners as their most trusted advisor. These relationships may range from informal relationships to professional associations and advisory boards.
Coaches:
Nearly one quarter (24%) chose business coaches as their current most trusted advisors. 80% of respondents reported having used some form of a coach in their career, and 41% had utilised one in the past six months.
