“I think when you’re looking for a coach, you just want to make sure that their teaching style is going to help you the most. Some people really learn best in one-on-one settings and not in group coaching settings. You have to be aware of what type of learner you are and how it’s going to benefit you, like, what type of program will benefit you and your business the best.” — @JenniMaroney [0:07:07]

“If you have a good coach that’s a good fit for you, they can see the big picture when you’re stuck in the nitty-gritty. As long as they’re five to 10 steps ahead of you or more, they’re able to say, “Your goals are similar to mine and if you want the same success that I have, let me reach back, grab your hand and pull you up the ladder with me and help you avoid all the mistakes that I’ve made and fast track your success”.” — @JenniMaroney [0:07:53]

“I always encourage women that join my Mastermind or coaching programs, look for a coach that has already successfully done what you’re trying to do.” — @JenniMaroney [0:12:21]

“This is what brings me the most joy — Helping female business owners move the needle in their business and be able to take things that are in their head that they can talk about effortlessly to other people.” — @JenniMaroney [0:19:25]

“That is my goal to help women do and if you’re ready to pivot, I say just go find a coach that’s already done that successfully.” — @JenniMaroney [0:20:28]
