Summary

Have you been wondering whether coaching could be a career path for you, or something you bring into the work you're already doing?

If you can't stop thinking about that, this episode is for you. What it means to be a coach today is far more varied and interesting than most people assume, and most of you are better suited for it than you realize. I explain who is well-suited for coaching, what it actually entails, and how it can fit into different professional and personal contexts.

I also address the misconceptions that tend to stop people before they start, including MLMs, pyramid schemes, and the idea that you can only make money by coaching other coaches. Coaching is a real job, it can be full-time, part-time, or integrated into your current career, and a solid certification makes all the difference in building something sustainable.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, we've got a little bonus episode for you this week because I know that some of you have been thinking about whether becoming a coach could be a career for you or could be something you bring into your current career.
0:14.4	If you can't stop thinking about that, then I want you to listen to this episode because what it means to be a coach in this day and age
0:21.2	is far more varied and interesting than what most people assume is possible. And most of you
0:27.5	are better suited for this than you realize. So I wanted to share this episode. We released last
0:34.1	year as a greatest hits as a bonus this week because we are coming up on
0:38.7	our Coach Curious Prep School. This is a week-long experience where I help you assess yourself
0:46.4	on the skills, traits, and beliefs that are necessary for success as a coach. By the end of
0:52.2	Coach Curious Prep School, you will know whether you want to take the
0:55.4	next step on this path or whether it really isn't the right fit for you. Because I truly believe
1:00.8	that some of you are meant to be coaches and I don't think everyone's meant to be a coach.
1:05.2	And when I started out, I didn't have a way to figure that out for myself. It was a lot of trial
