Summary

How can you make money from your expertise and become known as a coach? It's a big question for many who have significant experience in their field and want to switch to coaching or consulting. Potential coaches grapple with the fear of leaving behind a secure job for the “unpredictable” world of coaching, questioning whether their knowledge is marketable and if they can truly make a living out of their passion. They often struggle to get started because they’re stuck wondering: how do I pivot my career and reinvent myself as a coach?

In the first episode of Coach Builder, a limited series by Business Made Simple, host Donald Miller shares success stories of real people who were doing well in their career, decided to transition into coaching, and absolutely crushed it. And this path is possible for almost anyone. Don offers real-world insight to help future coaches see the incredible potential to use what they know to make a great living and create a life they love. Listen in and learn how you, too, can turn your expertise into a profitable coaching business!
