The Business Made Simple Certified Coach program is built on a powerful partnership between Business Made Simple (BMS) and the business coaches who become certified. Both work together to help companies grow their business. Because BMS Coaches have a license to use the BMS Intellectual Property (IP) in their own business, sometimes there is confusion in the marketplace between the two.
This section is designed to help create clarity around the different functions of Business Made Simple HQ and Certified Coaches. While there is some crossover, each group functions differently. To put it most simply, Business Made Simple HQ teaches Frameworks through books, workshops, and online courses. Business Made Simple Certified Coaches help companies execute and implement the frameworks through coaching sessions, small groups, and masterminds. These distinctions are here in order to help the brand stay strong, protect the IP, and protect the value of a certification.
