Thanks again,

Good luck with it.

@ Josh – I think it will be tough for you to do it, but by no means impossible. It’s unlikely a 40 year old is going to hire you, but what about people your age?

Maybe you could focus on the niche of high-schoolers, or even one that have been through what you have been through whilst being at school?

The fact is with VoiP you can coach all over the world (I have clients in the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, Argentina and all over north America) without worrying about cost. That makes forming a niche a whole lot easier because you have 7 billion people to choose from!

Do what you’re doing, read/listen to as much as you can on the topic and if you can somehow do some training that would really help. Also, get to know SEO and marketing because marketing and selling yourself will be crucial.

One final thing, don’t listen to anybody that says you can’t do it ;-)

Best wishes!

Thank you for writing this great article. It really is a great source of information, that I will refer back to often. I am an aspiring life coach. As a matter of fact, I have my life coaching business online (link is on my name).

The problem is, I am 17 years old. I feel like life is too short to wait to do what you love. I have dealt with a pretty severe illness. I know what it’s like to set goals, and attack them. I’m not extremely experienced at the game of life. But for a 17 year old, I have played a pretty difficult game in these past 2 years. What do you think of me being in the coaching industry? What would you do in my situation?

Thanks a lot!

Today I’m so happy that I found you this website, I like it!

I qualified as a life coach in Australia a couple of years ago. The one thing I learned is there’s so much more to learn and you need an unquestionable passion to want to help people lead more fulfilling lives.

As an aspiring coach I think it is so incredibly important to get coached.

At the end of the day it’s client results that matter, although we need to have some credibility for the client to hire us in the first place I guess.

I’ll give you another example. People have said to me that they want to coach other people but yet they suffer from depression…a lot! I’m not perfect and I’d be lying if life didn’t get on top of me once in a while but I get over it quickly and move on fast. It’s a simple skill.

What I’m talking about overall is a kind of ‘Self Leadership’ in a sense. If a person cannot take care of their own issues and learn to grow, they I truly don’t believe they will be able to coach others to do that either.
