What would your life look like if you could truly do what you loved for a living? How would your sense of self change or transform if you really felt you were making a difference in the world around you? What if you could take something that you truly felt a sense of PASSION for… and could align that idea into blog, brand, business and bank account that transformed your experience of being ALIVE?
The truth is… you CAN.
I want to share a little secret with you that most people in the online marketing industry won’t.
The VAST majority of people who try to start an online business will fail. But, not fail in the sense that they won’t earn any money. Instead, they’ll fail in ways far more painful than that. They’ll SPEND hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on tools, tips, techniques and “insider secrets” that they will never recoup.
Even more painful? They’ll spend days, weeks, months and even YEARS of their lives chasing bright and shiny ideas that not only will never work for them, but never really work for ANYONE. (even the guru or expert who is selling them)
There is really only ONE business model that is perpetually profitable for just about everyone who tries and applies it.
It’s called COACHING. Or taking something you truly love… and teaching, training and helping others who don’t have your experience or expertise get good at that thing as well.
The niche, believe it or not… largely matters not.
It could be credit, cooking, clairvoyance or cleaning. Right now, as you read this, there are people in just about every niche under the sun helping OTHER people learn a skill that comes naturally to YOU, but may not come naturally to them.
The average professional life coach, according to many published studies, averages over $100 an hour in income. (some surveys say about $160 per 60 minute client, and others closer to $105)
The REAL secret?
The more SPECIFICITY you apply to your coaching practice, the more successful you’ll be. A business coach, for example… earns more than double what the average life coach earns. And believe it or not… the average “spiritual coach”, especially if you are good, can earn DOUBLE what the average business coach can earn.
(I have readers and clients who are “psychics” and spiritual readers of different sorts who make $400 plus per HOUR, and are booked for weeks in advance)
