In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we’re continuing our two-part series on hiring a business coach. Today we’re taking a deep dive into the different types of coaching support available and how to decide which one is right for you and your current stage of business.

We’ll explore the difference between macro coaching and micro coaching so you can identify whether you need big-picture strategy or targeted expertise in a specific area like sales, branding, or time management. We’ll also break down the pros and cons of 1:1 coaching versus group coaching, plus how to decide if a business coach or life coach is the best investment for your unique challenges.

You’ll learn: • How to know if you need macro-level strategic guidance or micro-level skill development • The situations where 1:1 coaching accelerates results and when group coaching can be even more effective • The differences between life coaching and business coaching and how to choose based on your biggest roadblocks • Coaching alternatives that still offer valuable support, including self-paced courses, podcasts, and membership communities • How my She Builds Momentum monthly group coaching membership helps women entrepreneurs create clarity, consistency, and confidence without burnout • The key questions to ask before investing in a coach so you can make a smart, informed decision

Whether you’re feeling stuck, ready to scale, or simply looking for clarity on your next steps, this episode will help you match the right coaching style to your business needs.

Hiring a business coach can change everything—but how do you know if you actually need one? In this episode, I walk you through a no-fluff, honest checklist to help you evaluate the key areas of your business and decide if coaching might be your next right step.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• 8 core areas to evaluate in your business (and what to look for in each)

• How to spot the real problem—because what feels like a marketing issue might actually be a sales, time, or product problem

• Simple questions to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses

• Tools like SWOT analysis to get clarity before investing in coaching

This isn’t just about hiring me—this is about making smarter decisions in your business. If you’ve ever thought, “I need help but I don’t even know where to start,” this episode is your starting line.

In this powerful follow-up to Episode 61, Lindsay Fletcher shares what’s changed after deleting social media apps from her phone more than seven months ago. Spoiler alert: her business is thriving, her anxiety has dropped, and her relationships are better than ever.

This episode dives into the surprising ROI of being offline, the 20+ hours per week she gained back, and how her coaching and consulting business has grown since stepping away from the scroll. Inspired by a shocking stat from Dr. Adam Alter, researcher at NYU, that the average person will spend 20 years of their life looking at a phone, Lindsay unpacks the emotional, mental, and professional breakthroughs that came from this lifestyle shift.

If you’re a business owner feeling burned out, distracted, or stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling and digital noise, this episode is your sign. Lindsay invites you to her free 31-day Screen-Free Challenge to help entrepreneurs like you take back your time, creativity, and focus.

In this episode:

• How quitting social media on her phone boosted her business

• What she misses (and doesn’t)

• How to run a business without being glued to your phone

• The truth about addiction, distraction, and dopamine

• A challenge to help you reclaim your time

Check out my new course Sales Simplified: 7 Weeks to Selling with Confidence

I know how frustrating that can feel. Today, I want to take the mystery out of it. More often than not, it’s not that your offer is “bad” or that no one wants it—it’s just that something small is out of alignment.

Listen for these 3 common check points to see if one of these is out of whack:

1. Are you solving a real problem?

2. Is your messaging clear and confident?

3. Are you actually sell it? (Not just marketing it.)

• Clarifying your offer
• Communicating it clearly
• Learning how to talk about it (without feeling awkward)
• And building a simple, repeatable system to sell it

Hello! I'm Lindsay Fletcher, the host of Grow My Business, the podcast that helps you sell with confidence, market with intention, ditch social media overwhelm, and build a business that fits your real life.

Reframing sales is imperative if you want to close more sales. In today's episode, I share 3 ways to reframe sales:

1. Sales is a conversation, not a pitch

2. If you are solving problems, you are doing people a favor by selling.

3. Your product or service is a bridge to a better life for your clients.

• Have calm, confident conversations
• Ask better questions that lead to yes
• Handle objections with ease
• Follow up without feeling like a bother
• And finally, close more sales without scripts that feel fake
