Three years later, he had grown his subscription box into a multi-million-dollar company. Now, he shares his knowledge with subscription box owners all over the country.

If you haven’t already, you need to check out each of their interviews. Although each coach has a unique perspective from a different industry, they have a few pieces of advice that overlap

1. You can do anything, but not everything.

Once you own your business, you’re the boss! You can choose to run your business however you want! But, if you want to be successful, you need to learn to delegate. Know your strengths and weaknesses and don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice when needed!

2. Read a book, or two (or six) a month.

The best leaders and business owners all have one thing in common: a book on their nightstand. While some of our coaches like to read multiple books at once, you don’t have to do that. You do need to pick up a book every now and then though. Not a reader? That’s okay! Try listening to some podcasts or audiobooks to stay up-to-date on your industry’s latest trends. Don’t rely on Facebook for your news.

3. Mindset is everything.

You can’t change yourself or your business unless you want to. Once you decide your business is worth it, coaching can help you grow in ways you could have never imagined

Many people believe that coaches are only good for sports. Who says you can’t you apply coaching to your business?
