When I first starting coaching at The Uncaged Life, I was stoked to have 4 clients. Bring it on entrepreneurship!īut here is the thing (a thing you may have already learned) - something sounding cool, and people telling that life coaching sounds interesting, or inspiring, DOESN’T mean that those people will be willing to pay you for it. You mean I’d only need 9 or 10 clients a month to make some pretty good money? Sweet! I’ll be able to reel those in within the next few months for sure! I mean, everyone I have talked to about this seems to think life coaching sounds pretty cool. $300-500/month for one client? ( Does some quick math on my iphone). We ALL sat in our coaching school classes with our calculators when we first heard how much we’d be able to charge as life coaches. Passion does not = profit.Īnd, I totally understand where all the life coaches are coming from, and why they believe that it should be pretty easy to build their new coaching business. That if you just BELIEVE in it enough, you can do anything you want to do.Īnd I’m calling bullshit. What drives me up the wall is that somewhere out there, someone is feeding us all lies about how if you’re passionate about something, you can turn it into a business. I LOVE that my clients are so passionate about building businesses and doing awesome work in the world. Let me be clear - it’s not the fact that they are coming to me asking for help that drives me up the wall. How they can become overnight successes like so-and-so.

How they can generate a full time income in 3-6 months (because that’s all they’ve left themselves for savings).

I see SO many people quitting perfectly good jobs and ditching perfectly good skills because they have decided they want to start a life coaching business to help other people realize their dreams and become their most authentic, powerful selves (or some other generic version of the typical life coaching message)Īnd then they struggle to get clients because no one knows what the fuck they are talking about when they explain to people what they do as a life coach , because all of a sudden they’re talking in higher level concepts, when most of us down here are just trying to figure out how to get our damn problems solved.Īnd then they come to me asking me how they can make it work. Ok let me slightly edit that – it CAN BE a business, but it needs a few other things paired with it to make it a business that actually makes money (because a business that doesn’t make money is a hobby, and I’ve seen many life coaching hobbyists in my day) In fact, I’m gonna go so far as to say that ‘life coaching’ is NOT actually a business.Ĭoaching is a SKILL that you learn.

Life coaching is a really, really tough sell as a business. There’s a reason I spent over $8000 getting trained in several different modalities. To preface all this, let it be known that I really believe in the power of life coaching. If you’ve been trying this coaching business for a while and it just doesn’t seem to be working – pay attention.īecause there are things they don’t tell you in coaching school about starting a life coaching business (or any business really, but let’s focus on the life coaches, because you are often the ones who have such big hearts - and dreams - and who are often most defeated by the reality of running a coaching business). And the ones who are ready to hear it, will listen. It’s probably going to hurt some people’s feelings (I’m sorry!).
