The Journey from Entry-Level to Established Coach

It is often observed that transitioning from a coaching income of $75,000 to $100,000 to an income of $150,000 to $175,000 is often simpler and easier than moving from an uncertain $3,000 monthly income to a more stable coaching career. Coaches starting with lower incomes typically struggle with a longer list of skills that need to be developed, making their journey more complex. Those already earning a consistent income exhibit a baseline of marketing, sales, and operational abilities that facilitate their growth. Coaches at this higher income level have already demonstrated sufficient market value, making it easier to address challenges related to scaling their business.
