Author: John Jantsch

Lots of folks are joining the ranks of "business owner" as a career path these days. Some by design and some, unfortunately, because they have little choice. Many of these business owners are choosing to open up coaching, consulting and service businesses in part because it’s so darn easy to do. The barrier to entry is sometimes little more than printing up some business cards.

Now, I’m not suggesting that people who start these kinds of business don’t have incredible experience and expertise to offer, far from it. But, because it is so easy to start a business offering consulting, it’s more important than ever that you find a way to differentiate your coaching and consulting business so prospects can understand your unique experience and expertise.

Dear friend,

As entrepreneurs, we all try to build successful businesses. But what is a successful business, anyway?

Is business success defined by earnings, profitability, or size of the company? Or, is it a matter of fulfilling a dream, of following and living your passion? It is probably a little bit of everything, and the exact answer is as personal as it gets.

If you are still looking for your own definition and formula for a successful business, you will find some helpful resources in this issue of The TeamBiz Loop. Make sure you check them all out, and let us know what you think.

Here's to your success!
