"Discover the secret profession that's allowing people to quit their day job and work from home while earning a 6 figure income..."

Right now there are millions of people that need help making changes and personal coaches are helping them do it. People hire a coach to make all sorts of changes. Some people hire a coach to get help with losing weight, starting a business, or getting into a great relationship.

You might be surprised to learn that CEO's are some of the biggest fans of coaching. And you might be surprised to learn that people will pay $300-$500/month or more to make these sorts of changes. Businesses will usually pay far more.

So what is professional coaching anyway? According to the book "How to Quickly Get Started In Professional Coaching", professional coaching, simply put, is "getting paid to help people make changes."

As a professional coach, you can in fact, earn 6 figures doing work that really makes a difference in people's lives. Your clients will love you for the impact you have on them and it's work that you'll probably find extremely rewarding and fulfilling. Imagine waking up on Monday morning with a big fat smile on your face because you've got something you're really looking forward to - and it's your job! Plus since you'll probably be working from home, you can lay around in your pajamas and no one would ever know. So...

Your next question is likely, "what does it take to become a professional coach?" Well, you may be excited to know that there are really NO requirements. Anyone can become a professional coach at any time with pretty much NO training. Here's what you need:
Here's What It Takes To Become a Personal Coach...


A. You'll need enough confidence in yourself and your ability to make a difference in people's lives. Confident that you are worth whatever you end up charging. Most coaches charge about $300/month for each client... although some charge thousands each month for each client (I'll tell you more about coaching fees in the book). And you need confidence in your coaching process - that you know what to do when you're coaching someone.

Some people have this confidence naturally, without any extra training. Why? Because they may have had other similar types of training or experience. Or just because!

Most people feel the need to get coach training to gain this confidence and to improve their coaching skills. There are a lot of coach training schools these days (I'll tell you about them in my new book). Yet, some coaches get lots and lots of training and never feel confident enough! Don't let this happen to you. Once you feel ready to start coaching people, then...

B. The only other thing you'll need is enough business sense to get coaching clients. Yes, one way to get clients is to get a job as a coach (I'll tell you more about this in my book), but most coaches will start their own business and get their own clients. So, is it...
Too good to be true?

That's it? If you have confidence in your ability to help people and you can get clients, you can be a professional coach? Yes! But, even though it's that simple, it's not necessarily easy. Here's what to watch out for:

1. Being A Great Coach vs. Having A Coaching Business: A lot of people put all of their time and energy into becoming a coach. They get a lot of training and practice, but they don't invest even one-tenth of that time, energy, or money into learning how to get clients and grow their coaching businesses. This is one of the biggest mistakes made by 80% of all coaches. Be prepared to invest time and money into growing your business.

2. Time: Coaching is an exciting "job." And the idea of having your own business is also very exciting. But, many people think they can quit their jobs and start coaching tomorrow.

While this may work for some people (one of the coaches I mentored grew his coaching business to 6 figures in 90 days), most coaches should expect to ramp up over a 2-year period. If you put a lot of time and energy in, you may be able to do it faster. Some may take longer. Is it worth the investment? Absolutely!

3. Coaching Associations: Coaching associations will tell you that you need to be certified, that you need to attend an accredited coach training school, that you need hundreds of coaching hours before you can become a coach. It's not true. Laws may vary depending on where you live, but in general there are few laws or regulations governing the coaching industry.

The associations have their own agenda (I'll tell you all about them in the book). They aren't bad or wrong for their agenda, but they may not give you the straight truth. I've been coaching for 8 years without getting certified and I've hired about 10 different coaches over the last 9 years and not one of them was certified either.

4. Coaching Schools: Every coaching school or coach training company will tell you why they are the best. Many of them are great, and some of them leave much to be desired. Nearly all of the them will tell you to train with them because they believe their training is best.

It's hard to get an unbiased opinion about getting started in coaching from them. They have an agenda (to have you buy their training). There's nothing wrong with this. They are good people. They are just blinded by their own love for the training they offer.

5. Other Coaches: Many other coaches will mentor you to become a successful coach. Unfortunately, since there are not standards in the industry, you may end up hiring a coach that still has a lot to learn themselves. There is a lot of "the blind leading the blind" going on in the coaching industry. They may be great coaches, but they might not know how to get a lot of clients yet, themselves.

You'll probably still get tremendous benefits from hiring a coach. I'm a huge fan of coaching. It's changed my life 5 times over and I have a coach right now. Just be careful when you hire one. (In the book I'll tell you what questions to ask a potential coach before you hire one.)

6. Business Training: While it's true that most coaches will need to learn how to market their coaching businesses to get clients, there is a lot of business training available that is NOT geared specifically for professional coaches. And, many of the strategies that work for other businesses do not work well for coaches.

There is a tried-and-true formula for success in the coaching business (I'll share this with you in the book). Also, there are some programs geared toward coaches that promise that you'll become successful overnight. Don't trust these. Some of them may be good programs, but some are just trying to take your money.

Sometimes the more we learn, the more questions we have!
