Has anyone used a business coach or consultant? Will I get help or scammed?

I have a small home-based business that I’m looking to take to the next level. Should I just plunge into business books and try to grow it myself? Or should I sink the $4000 into a one year relationship with a business consultant who is confident he can help me grow? I don’t want to contract with him and find out that everything he tells me is just common sense business advice straight out of the books.

Well I have a small business from home as well. I too have thought of hiring a consultant. Ive reach the area where Ive done over a 100% difference in that past years.
When I first started this business I knew where I was going but never knew it would get this large .
I think the key to my sucess now is to get more organized. More business oriented in the shop. So I can track business and track customers now and the future. At this point I dont think I need to pay someone to confirm this to me. I think working smarter is the key language Im looking for.
If you hire this person to help your business grow would you mind letting me know how it turns out? Id be very intrested in knowing how it turns out for you . God Bless
I think that I’d want to look into this consultant’s past performance. Ask for references and confirm them yourself. Ask to speak to a previous client. If this guy can do for you what he claims, he should be more than happy to flaunt a previous success.
You can get books and start reading and learning. He will teach you how to function. You need to do it yourself and yes, it is commpn sense. Try a community college and there are volunteers at S.C.O.R.E. Service Corps of Retired Executives. Look for one that can relate to you. You can go to the office supply store and find organizational tools. There are also people who will come into your business and teach you organization and install systems for a whole lot less money. You can hire them for the day.
A business coach or consultant probably wouldn’t hurt, but you should choose wisely and shop around a little. Why are alot of consultants, consultants? Because they couldn’t cut it in the real world.
