FAQ
What is business coaching?
- Community – Connect with other business owners so you’re not alone.
- Accountability – Stay on track with regular check-ins.
- Results – Take action and see real growth.
- Education – Access expert training, tools, and resources.
Why should I have a business coach?
If you want to grow and succeed, you need a coach—just like top athletes, singers, and actors do. Business is no different. A coach gives you guidance, structure, and accountability to help you reach your goals.
Here are three big reasons business coaching works:
Outside Perspective – It’s hard to see the big picture when you’re in the middle of it. A coach helps you spot challenges and opportunities you might miss.
Proven System – At ActionCOACH, we use a 6-step system refined over 30 years to grow businesses. We guide you through each phase to build a solid, scalable company.
Accountability – A coach makes sure you follow through. Many business owners start with big dreams but get stuck in survival mode. Coaching helps you stay focused, take action, and grow.
Most business owners come to us for help with four key areas:
- Team – Building and leading a great team.
- Time – Working fewer hours while getting more done.
- Money – Increasing profitability and cash flow.
- Motivation – Regaining passion and drive for their business.
With the right community, accountability, education, and strategy, you can work smarter, make more money, and stress less.

The key factor isn’t the industry—it’s the mindset. Our best clients want to grow, improve, and achieve more. If you’re looking for a better way to build your business, we can help.

Coaching is an investment that pays for itself. Our programs start at $99 per month for group coaching and can go up to thousands per month for corporate coaching.
We guarantee results—if you invest $3,000 a month and coaching helps you make $20,000 more, it’s a smart decision. Pricing depends on your business needs, goals, and location.
How will my business grow through coaching?
Business coaching helps in three key ways:
- Education – We provide proven strategies, tools, videos, and guides.
- Expert Coaching – Our trained coaches bring years of experience to help you succeed.
- Accountability – We keep you on track, pushing you to reach your full potential.
Big companies have boards and shareholders demanding growth. Small businesses don’t. That’s where a coach comes in—to challenge and support you.
How will I grow in coaching?
We follow a six-step framework to grow both your business and leadership skills. You’ll improve in:
- Leadership & Management
- Systems & Processes
- Strategic Planning
- Team & Culture
- Financial & Sales Growth
Your business grows when you grow. We help you build a thriving company and a strong leadership team—so nothing holds you back.
What level of coaching suits me?
The best way to decide is to ask: What do you want to achieve? Your goals, business size, and speed of growth all play a role. Many start with a 12-week educational program to build core business skills. By the end, you’ll have results and a clear picture of the coaching support you need—whether it’s more education, accountability, or hands-on strategy. A coach will help you figure it out, and we have plenty of free resources to guide you.
How can I be sure coaching will work for me or my industry?
Three key reasons make us confident that coaching will work for you:
- Your Industry Expertise + Our Business Expertise = Growth. We help with sales, marketing, leadership, hiring, and systems—so you can apply these to your industry.
- 30+ Years of Proven Success. We only take on committed business owners who are ready to grow.
- Commitment Brings Results. Coaching is a partnership. We guide, you implement. If you’re serious about growth, coaching will work.
How long does coaching take to get results?
It varies, but we guarantee results within 17 weeks. Some businesses see changes in a few weeks, especially with quick wins. Free resources like videos, webinars, and blogs can also help you start seeing progress before coaching begins.
How will I find the best coach for me?
It’s about expertise and personality. Our coaches are highly trained, but the best fit depends on who you connect with. Some switch coaches as their business evolves, and specialized programs (like sales or leadership coaching) provide extra focus when needed. A great coach cares deeply about your success, so finding the right match is key.
Is business coaching really worth it?
Absolutely. Coaching increases cash flow, profit, and business value. It also improves team performance, reduces stress, and frees up your time. Plus, you join a powerful network of business owners who support each other. At ActionCOACH, we believe in world abundance through business education—one business at a time. Let’s grow together!
How long do I need to be coached, is it a forever thing?
Coaching is for as long as you want to grow and improve. Many business owners start with a 12-week program to see results. Some continue coaching long-term because they see the value. Think of it like sports—great teams always have a coach. The same goes for business. If you keep learning, you keep winning.
Won't this just mean more work for me?
Not really. At first, coaching helps you stop wasting time on things that don’t help you grow. In the first 10-12 weeks, we usually help business owners free up 4-5 hours per week. It’s not about working more; it’s about working smarter. You’ll learn to shift your focus to high-value tasks that get better results.
How will I find the time to do the work?
We help you identify where your time is best spent. That means stopping low-value tasks, improving team productivity, and learning to delegate. We also hold you accountable for focusing on what really moves the needle. The goal isn’t to create more work but to get better results from the work you do.
Will I need money to implement the strategies I learn through coaching?
Some strategies need zero investment—just changes in how you do things. Others may require money for hiring, marketing, or new systems. We assess how fast your business can grow and help you plan accordingly. Growth should be profitable, not stressful.
Can you also train or coach my people?
Yes! We train and coach teams in sales, customer service, marketing, leadership, and more. Whether you need group training or one-on-one coaching for key managers, we can help. Coaching your team ensures your entire business moves forward together.
What results have others seen through coaching?
Many businesses double or triple their profits. Some owners create businesses that run without them. Don’t take our word for it—watch real success stories on our website, social media, and podcast. Learn from those who have already made coaching work for them.
