You’ve probably seen it everywhere—on YouTube, in ads, on social media—people talking about how they turned their expertise into billions by starting a coaching business.

And you’re wondering…
Is this just another scam, or is it the real deal?

That’s a valid question.

Seven years ago, I asked the same thing before stepping into the coaching world. But here’s the truth:

Coaching is One of the Fastest-Growing Industries in the World.
It’s helping thousands of people every single day find freedom, purpose, and legacy—and it can potentially do the same for you.

Let’s break it down:

Coaching Is Not a Fad—It’s a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry.
Why? Because people are actively searching for real solutions and guidance now more than ever.
Since 2020, the world has changed drastically, and with that change came a rise in people seeking support—for their mindset, careers, health, relationships, and more.

The beauty of coaching today?
You don’t need a degree, a certification, or a fancy title. You don’t even need a ton of money to get started. What you do need is a proven framework to attract your ideal clients.

It’s no longer about your background. It’s about your passion for helping others.

So, Who Can Be a Coach?
If you’ve ever helped someone through a challenge, shared advice that worked, or guided someone to a solution—guess what? You already have the foundation to become a coach.

Here are three signs you might be ready:

You’ve Overcome a Challenge or Mastered a Skill
Maybe you’ve lost weight, changed careers, built a side hustle—you’ve done it. Now you can teach others.

People Come to You for Advice
If you’re already the go-to person in your circle, you’ve got something valuable.

You’re Willing to Learn
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need the willingness to learn your craft and build a business around it.

Let’s Talk Money 💰
One of the biggest myths is that coaches can’t earn a full-time income. That’s false.

While not every coach hits six figures, the top 5–10% earn very well. Here’s how:

Option 1: High-Ticket Coaching
Let’s say you’ve helped yourself and others lose weight. You create a 90-day coaching program for $3,000. With just four clients, that’s $12,000. That could replace most people’s monthly income—with just four clients.

Option 2: Group Coaching
Instead of repeating yourself with each client, package your expertise into a group offer—say, $2,000 per person. Enroll 10 people? That’s $20,000.
Same one-hour call. Less time. Bigger impact.

This is the power of coaching:
No inventory. No rent. No staff. Just results—on your terms.

But What About the Scammers?
Yes, some programs out there promise results and don’t deliver. That’s true in every industry—not every school is a good school, and not every friend is a good friend.

The key is discernment:
Do your research, ask questions, and align with those who prioritize integrity, results, and community.

Bottom line?
Coaching isn’t a scam. It’s an opportunity. And for those who are passionate, purpose-driven, and willing to serve—it might just be the best one out there.
