Yes, I would love to become a life coach of mine and others'

FIVE REASONS TO BECOME A LIFE COACH


Life Coaching is a relatively new profession, but one that is growing rapidly. As more people hear about it, more people are interested in becoming life coaches. Here are five reasons to become a life coach:

1. You Get To Help Others Initiate Growth In Their Lives

Were you that person the friends/family/peers always came to with their problems because you would LISTEN? If so your natural empathy and listening skills can be used to really help others and make a change in their lives.

2. You Experience Personal Growth Yourself

As you learn to be an even better listener and facilitator of growth, you will most likely gain extensive personal growth yourself. This is common with Life Coaches.

3. You Can Be Your Own Boss, Make Your Own Hours

You have your own practice and can decide which niche you want to specialize in, what clients you want to take on, and what hours you want to work! Want to take a holiday? That's up to you too!

4. You have a career that is personally fulfilling

Helping others is a genuinely satisfying way to make a living! There is nothing better than laying your head on your pillow at night and feeling like you helped someone facilitate a positive change in their life. Working every day with people of varying background and circumstances is enlightening as well.

5. You will be part of the movement to get more people aware of life coaching

So many people still don’t even know that Life Coaching exists! As you are having success in your practice, you will be helping more people become aware of the resources that are available to them to make a positive change in whatever aspect in their life needs it!
