Financial coaching is just getting started – and I get asked all the time if people can actually “make a living” as a financial coach. 

The short answer is an emphatic YES!

The longer answer is…yes, but. 

Yes, but everyone starts somewhere. When I first became a financial coach, my goal was small – I wanted to make $2000 per month. I was charging $50 per session…because I didn’t see the possibility. At least, not yet. 

Financial coaching is more than just helping people train their money to work hard for them – it’s about believing in yourself and your clients. It’s about confidence. It’s about transformation. 

The wonderful thing about financial coaching is that you can make this amazing career into whatever suits you best – whether that’s a side hustle, part-time, or full-time. The amount of time that you invest in your financial coaching practice will (in part) determine your income. 

Honestly, the biggest challenges that you’ll face as a coach are marketing yourself (which takes confidence) and understanding that your first few clients may work with you for a discounted rate (or even for free) while you get your “legs” under you. 

Once you’ve got some experience, you can start charging – not for an hour of your time, but for the actual transformation that you provide – that’s where the value of your work comes from.
