    How to Become a Life Coach: 13 Years of Lessons in One Advice

    Book a call with our Admissions Team What if the reason you are not getting what you want has less to do with what you are doing, and more to do with who you are being while you do it? In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Liv breaks down the powerful framework See It, Feel It, Be It, Do It, Have It, and why so many ambitious women get stuck trying to jump straight to the result. If you have been consuming strategy, checking boxes, posting more, tweaking your offer, or asking yourself what you should do next, this conversation will challenge you to look at your goals differently. This episode explores the connection between vision, identity, action, and results, and why the version of you who creates the business, career, or life you want may require more than another to-do list. Liv also shares why embodiment matters, where manifestation can fall short without action, and the questions that can help you stop circling the same goal and start moving toward it differently. You may want a notebook for this one.

    Check out out our FREE ROI-Coaching Calculator [Plan Your Revenue!] Book a call with our Admissions Team If you’re considering a career change and keep circling the same question, “Do I go back to school, or do I become a certified coach?” this episode is for you. Liv has done both, and she’s breaking down the questions she wishes she had asked before investing years, money, and energy into figuring out what came next. This conversation goes way beyond tuition costs or how long each path takes. Liv gets into career outcomes, earning potential, professional coach training, graduate degrees, ROI, and one of the biggest pieces people tend to overlook when making a major career decision: what you actually want your life to look like on the other side of it. Because choosing the path that sounds the most impressive is very different from choosing the path that gets you where you actually want to go. If you’ve been researching coaching certification, considering grad school, questioning your current career, or wondering whether it’s too risky to take a different path, press play. Liv shares the framework she uses to think through these decisions, why traditional education is not automatically the safer choice, and the question that could completely change how you look at your next move. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Coach certification vs. graduate schoolMaking a career change without blowing up your entire lifeCareer outcomes and earning potentialThe real ROI of education and professional trainingICF-accredited coach certificationHow long coach training actually takesTurning coaching skills into incomeChoosing education based on the career you wantBuilding a coaching business while still working full timeWhy lifestyle matters when making career decisionsThe difference between learning a skill and creating a career from itFear, money, and investing in a future you cannot fully see yetCreating a career that actually fits the life you wantKnowing when graduate school is necessary and when another path may make more sense Free Resources from Inner Glow Circle: Discover Your Coaching Niche Quiz Get Access to Free Workshop: Get Paid to Coach  Speak with our Admissions Team life coach certification, coach certification, coaching certification program, ICF accredited coaching program, become a life coach, how to become a certified coach, coaching school, grad school vs coaching certification, career change, career transition, changing careers, professional coach training, coaching career, coaching business, start a coaching business, return on investment, career development, personal development career, life coach training, Six Figure Certified

    How Do I Get My First Coaching Client?

    [Free Training]: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] If you’re a new coach, getting your first paying client can feel way more complicated than it actually needs to be. Suddenly you’re thinking about your niche, your website, your Instagram feed, your branding, your offer, your email list, and approximately 47 other things before you’ve even had a real conversation with a potential client. In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Liv is breaking down what actually matters when you’re trying to land your first coaching client. She shares the simple, relationship-driven steps she would focus on if she were starting a coaching business from scratch today, including where your earliest clients are likely to come from, why your existing network matters more than you think, and what most new coaches spend way too much time doing instead. If you’ve been telling yourself you need more followers, a prettier brand, a perfect niche, or one more certification before you can start getting paid to coach, this episode is going to challenge that. Because building a coaching business starts a lot closer to home than most people realize, and the fastest path forward might have a lot less to do with marketing and a lot more to do with getting into actual conversations. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How to get your first coaching clientStarting a coaching business from scratchFinding your coaching niche without getting stuck in perfectionismUsing your existing network to generate coaching referralsWhy relationships matter more than follower count in the beginningBuilding confidence as a new coachGetting real coaching experience before obsessing over contentMoving from passive marketing to actual sales conversationsWhy new coaches avoid asking for the saleWhat you really need before signing your first paying clientBuilding a profitable coaching practice without a huge audienceThe difference between looking like a coach and actually coaching Free Resources from Inner Glow Circle: Discover Your Coaching Niche Quiz Get Access to Free Workshop: Get Paid to Coach  Speak with our Admissions Team coaching business, how to get coaching clients, first coaching client, life coach business, coaching clients, start a coaching business, new coach tips, coaching certification, coach training, ICF coaching, coaching niche, coaching offer, sales conversations, coaching referrals, client attraction, finding coaching clients, coaching confidence, coaching practice, build a coaching business, Six Figure Certified

    How Much Money Do Life Coaches REALLY Make? (Real Numbers)

    [Free Training]: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] Can you really make money as a life coach, or is that just something people on the internet like to say? In this episode, Olivia is breaking down what a real coaching career can actually look like, what makes coaching financially viable, and why the answer is a lot more nuanced than simply picking a niche and posting on Instagram. She also gets into the part most people skip over when they talk about becoming a coach: the actual business model behind the skill. From private practice to organizational coaching to executive work and beyond, there are multiple ways to build a legitimate career in coaching. The bigger question is which path makes sense for you, your goals, and the kind of work you want to be known for. If you’ve been wondering whether coaching can become a sustainable source of income, how long it can realistically take to build momentum, or what separates coaches who create real careers from those who struggle to get traction, this episode will give you a much clearer picture of what’s possible and what it actually requires.
