For years, I owned and operated a small business. It was a journey filled with its own set of challenges and rewards—things that no one truly prepares you for when you first start out. But then, one day, the thought came to me: "I should write a book." At first, it seemed like a fleeting idea, but the more I thought about it, the more it felt like a sign I couldn’t ignore. And so, I took the leap and began writing.

This book is a reflection of my life as a small business owner, a snapshot of the day-to-day experiences, triumphs, and setbacks that come with the territory. It’s about more than just numbers or strategies; it’s about the human side of running a business. The personal stories, the emotional ups and downs, the moments when success is sweet and failure stings. It's not always easy to separate the personal from the professional, and this book dives into how those two worlds often collide and intersect, shaping not just the business, but the person behind it.

In short, Am I A Coach? is more than just a business memoir. It’s a narrative of one person's journey, encompassing not only business but also family, community, and personal growth. It’s about how those different parts of life weave together to form a whole, and how every experience—good or bad—contributes to who we become, both in our work and in our lives.
