How do you know if you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for in business coaching as a chronically ill entrepreneur? The Sliding Scale of Support (TM) will help answer that.
It can be difficult sometimes to self-diagnose what support measure(s) you need next as an online business owner… and the chronic symptom option-friendly are pretty slim.
Luckily, @CEClub’s Sliding Scale of Support is here to help guide you to the program that will aide you the most now and help define which programs offer exactly what.
It’s never fun to walk in expecting one thing and leaving with another.
In business coaching, coaching is really only one facet of what really goes on behind the pay wall. Even then, many people do not have a consistent definition of what it means or includes. Here we have standardized each facet so that the quality of our programs will always be consistent.

Mindset Support
Typically supports outlook and perspectives around the things you try to do but tend to get in your own way. When building your online business, this is often seen as following expectations, beliefs that don’t serve you, not having faith or trust in yourself, and overcoming the fears around your chronic symptoms limitations.

Accountability
Support around accomplishing long term goals and assisting with changes, challenges, and pivots along the way. In @CEClub, Accountability Forms and Progress Reports are the most common manifestations of accountability support. They have to be completed and approved before you move forward. You receive feedback and help on your forms. They also prepare the coach for your private coaching call to maximize time!

Coaching
Conversations and questions centered on clarity. Usually focused on the present and future (not to be confused with therapy). A container for thoughts and trusted opinion/advice. You can expect to have some tough love moments when you feel like an immovable stone. You can also expect to have some brilliant new ideas when reflecting on coaching questions and conversations! We focus on the bigger picture and who you must be to achieve it.

Training
A method of education that is action oriented and meant to be implemented or put into practice immediately. This is not the same as a business class. Everything you learn is something that you will need to do! No boring lectures here.
Find it in:
Mentorship
Partnering with someone who has walked the path before you and mimicking the steps that worked for them to help you reach your goals faster. Besides your coach, there are great case study examples of previous chronically ill entrepreneurs that your coach leans on and can tell you all about (maybe even share a video or two of the problem solving moment)!.

Consulting
Presenting your business dilemma to an expert, recieving evidence backed plan of action, and implementing accordingly. Consulting is done on an as-needed basis. The majority of your online business is all you and what you want/need. Sometimes, however, you may need someone to look at numbers for you, evaluate the game-plan, and clearly outline what steps to take and why to obtain a clearly measured result.
Find it in:
Therapy
Typically requires licensure and is usually for mental illness of trauma support. Therapy tends to focus more on the past and healing the past or mental health conditions. You will not see Therapy as a source of support in any of @ChronicEntrepreneurClub’s programs. This is due to the medical qualifications it requires and board certified approval. Also, we do not work with any health insurance companies to help cover costs. If you need therapy, the coach will usually let you know that the conversation or behavior extends beyond the scope of service and it will be your responsibility to meet with any mental health professional. Ideally you will take on the commitment so that your time in a program is maximized while we work in tandem.
I hope that the SSS really helps you in determining the right program for you. We know that it certainly helps us to ensure a great client experience and bring everyone onto the same page.
