London, United Kingdom, Feb. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Starting a business can be one of the most daunting, yet rewarding things that one can do in life. Running your own business is the path to prosperity and financial freedom that we all dream of, however without the right guidance, it often ends in tears, heartbreak and wasted dollars. According to Two Comma PR, a business startup coach is the surefire way to ensure that you have the tools you need to succeed. Each with their own unique areas of expertise, here we present the Top 10 business startup coaches.

Jade Weller (@jadestart_)

Jade Weller is a fully-qualified lawyer, award-winning business coach, paid public speaker and podcaster. She has extensive experience in business, having launched, grown and sold an e-commerce business with her husband, grown her start-up consultancy JadeStart to a six-figure company and worked for PwC since 2016 doing insolvency, restructuring and corporate strategies to help multi-million-dollar companies grow.

Inspiringly, Jade beat the odds to achieve success. She dropped out of school at 16 due to family circumstances and worked her way up the management ladder at an Australian supermarket chain Woolworths for eight years. Then she gained a job as an in-house legal assistant for a property developer after impressing his lawyer with her determination. The role inspired Jade to pursue a career as a lawyer, so she went to college and university at the age of 26 and earned the qualifications she needed to become a lawyer of the Supreme Court of Queensland. She then went on to become a Chartered Accountant and is currently part way through her studies.

While she was at Bond University, Jade founded JadeStart. She had grown the business within Woolworths and also helped lots of businesses during her work with the property developer and realised she could set up her own company to help even more. Since the launch of JadeStart, Jade and her husband Aaron, have guided more than 300 last year alone in 9 countries in the pursuit of their business dreams. She describes her typical client as a young entrepreneur in their mid-20s who is open-minded, coachable and hungry for growth and opportunities. They either are launching a business or have launched a business and aren’t afraid to ask for help because they crave freedom and want to succeed more than anything else. They usually have had some form of secondary education and are typically creatively minded.

As such, he’s willing to invest his time and resources to help worthwhile initiatives grow.

Isabella Sánchez (@theisabellasanchez)

Isabella Sánchez is a Mexican business coach who is an expert on positioning and authority building. She helps female entrepreneurs close high-ticket sales with a small audience. She’s on a mission to empower female online coaches by demonstrating that they do not need a massive following to make a huge impact and build their dream business and life.

Isabella knows it is possible to do this because she has done it herself. She built a multiple six-figure business with fewer than 2,000 followers on Instagram. She did it with no adverts, no website, no e-mail list and no complicated marketing funnels. And she transitioned from a stressed and broke actor and YouTube life coach to a successful entrepreneur living her dream life in Europe with her husband.

As a life coach on a Spanish YouTube Channel sharing her passion for personal development and leadership for young women, Isabella racked up 33,000 followers, won Mexico’s YouTube NextUp in 2017, got flown to NYC by Google to be part of YouTube’s Global Creators Camp and started collaborating with big creators.

Despite her big audience, Isabella did not know how to use her influence to make money. She knew her subject inside out and was passionate about helping others, but she learnt a hard lesson that unless you know how to secure paying clients, it’s not possible to make a significant impact or income.

Isabella decided to use her limited finances to hire a business coach and learn everything she could about organic marketing in an effort to go full-time as a coach. In less than a year, she built a six-figure coaching business and suddenly other entrepreneurs started coming to her to ask how they could replicate her success.

Nicole Hensley (@itsnicolehensley)

Running a wedding planning business is far from easy, so Nicole Hensley decided to put her own experiences to good use to help wedding planners make the step up from amateur to professional.

With almost a decade in the events industry and years of coaching under her belt, Nicole has expanded her mentorship services to virtual short- and long-term programs. She connects with her clients on a relatable level as she maintains leadership of her own thriving Wedding Planning Company – Storybook Weddings and Events, which operates in Chicago, Illinois and Austin, Texas.

As Nicole explains: “One of the most critical connections a coach should have with their student is relatability. Because I continue to lead and manage my own planning company, I have empathy and understanding of what my students are going through. Having that deep connection is what’s led to so much of my students’ success”.

When she was 18, Nicole became a licensed driver for the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and she says that setting goals and achieving new heights is “a part of my soul”. That achievement at a young age gave Nicole the belief that “difficult goals can be accomplished” with hard work and persistence.

These days, Nicole has a “slower and safer” life. She educates her students on everything from wedding planning 101, how to book luxury clients and business management and strategy on her blog and YouTube channel. In addition to 1:1 coaching, Nicole is launching an online shop in 2021 full of resources for wedding planners to enhance their client experience, brand consistency and business systems.

Ruth Cremer (@ruthcremer)

Ruth Cremer is a numbers expert with a passion for innovation. She has a Masters in Mathematics and is best known for being the advisor on the German version of the famous TV Show “Shark Tank”/”Dragon’s Den” (German Title: “Die Höhle der Löwen”). Here, she supports the selection and preparation of the candidates with her expert knowledge and startup-scene experience.

This high-profile opportunity is so far the peak of her career in the startup scene, where she started with her own consultancy focusing on public funding in 2013 and went on to work for Europe’s most active seed investor as one of Germany’s youngest female investment managers. As her skills developed, she was invited to be a speaker, mentor and judge at various startup events (including one at Europe’s biggest event arena in 2018), so she typically travels for at least three or four months each year.

Today, Ruth prepares startups and their documents for investors, helps investors to evaluate a business model during the due diligence process and supports M&A cases. Her slogan is “numbers are sexy” because she thinks many entrepreneurs underestimate the power of the right business numbers to calculate your business’ potential in order to lower risks and be more convincing in negotiations with investors and potential partners.

Ruth also teaches entrepreneurship at a university in Cologne and has worked for several well-known accelerators and start-up programmes, such as those of Deutsche Telekom, Hype Accelerator of 1. FC Köln and RWTH Aachen University. So far, she has worked with over 1000 startups from all over the world. And despite her reputation for asking the “mean numbers questions”, her former clients often praise her enthusiasm and positive vibes.
