Before I became a coach, I would hear about successful coaches and envy them. I thought they were so lucky. It aggravated me that they had a life that I most wanted. But then I realized that their life is just as attainable for me as it is to them. I have the opportunity to design a life I love.

Instead of being jealous of these coaches, I decided to be inspired by them. I let that guide me towards creating a life on my terms. After running a life coaching business for seven years, I have designed a life I truly enjoy living. I work when I want, take vacations often and still have the opportunity to make an impact on people's lives.

There are two big reasons why people become coaches. One is the impact of the work. You get to make a tremendous difference in people's lives doing highly rewarding work. The second reason is the freedom this career offers anyone who chooses it. Your own "day in the life" can look however you want it to look. If you could design your life without any limitation, how would you design it?

In this episode, I share what a typical day in my life is like now, and what it was like when I was getting started as a coach.
