The Fastest Way To Get Started as a Career Coach
I blogged and blogged and blogged until I decided enough was enough. I was quitting my job and had to start earning some money with my side hustle. So I experimented with online courses, membership sites, books, speaking, events, sponsored posts, consulting and website advertising.
And the one thing that I loved most was Career Coaching. I could make an impact on other women, answer their questions and schedule my work around my soon to be growing family.
Because I was pregnant and was planning to quit my job after maternity leave. August 1, 2014 I submitted my resignation letter and the rest is history!
What is career coaching?
A Career Coach is someone who helps their client find a job or business they love that supports the life they really want. A career coach supports their clients with the following:
- Results
- Accountability

How Do You Get Started as a Career Coach?
These are the 4 things you need to get started as a career coach:
- A way to find clients. Social media, Personal connections
- .A way to book a sales call. I recommend Calendly.
- A way for a client to pay. Paypal is a simple option to start with
- A way to hold the calls. The phone!
All this costs $0
How do I sell?
One of the best ways to stand out as a Career Coach is to narrow down your niche. You don’t have to be all things to all people.
