Unlike a Business Coach, if you're not satisfied you can ask for your money back, so you only pay if you get value from it. Hi Asif – it does seem a good deal when you consider the alternative.

A business coach has the advantage that they focus on you only during the time you pay them for. This means that the coaching and advice is tailored just to your own needs. The downside to this is that they tend to share advice of the basics upfront as they would to most of their coachees, which you pay for at the same price as you do when addressing more of the advanced topics, and of course you have to pay for the time that your situation becomes understood whilst you get to know each other. In other words, the first few sessions are much lower value in terms of solving problems than the later ones. With ExitMyJob, the components of the process are very common to most people, so even though you're learning from a course, most of it applies fully, so it's an inexpensive and more valuable means of preparing yourself and making the first steps. If the course ended there, then I would argue that a Business Coach offers you more value later on as you would deal with nuanced issues specific to your situation. However, the ExitMyJob program included live intereactive sessions and personal discussion so I believe the nuances are dealt with there. ExitMyJob is high value, whereas a Business Coach is a boutique proposition. Hi Asif. A business coach has the advantage that they focus on you only during the time you pay them for.

Now it looks like a great deal! How do you think they compare Simon? I guess the course seems expensive, until you compare it to the costs of a business coach. Now it looks like a great deal!
