If you are looking for a lifelong career, should you be a life coach as an option? I have not seen a job as fulfilling as life coaching; it gives you the pleasure of living life on your own terms. Yes, when you are a coach, you are your own resume. Meaning your life will become the advertisement for clients to come to you.

Therefore, if you need a career to choose, the following are my three reasons to consider life coaching:

1. Self-development.

People think life coaches can do everything because their lives exhibit the traits of someone who knows all. This is because a life coach always invests in self-development.

2. It’s a job you do with pleasure.

A life coach takes everything easy. They don't get angry not because they lack emotions but because of self-discipline. They are calm, sociable and a jolly good fellow to be with at all times. These are essential qualities for managing coaching clients.

3. It is rewarding.

The expectation of any business is the income. Apart from the monetary reward, job satisfaction is another reason for choosing a life coaching career. You will always be happy when your clients, who only yesterday was about to give up on life, is thriving and happy today; it is a joy every life coach feels great about!

How to become a life coach

If you have chosen life coaching as a career, your job of becoming a life coach has just begun. Here are my tips to activate your life coaching career, follow them with all your passion no and relax later to reap the fruit of your labor:

Find a reliable life coaching program. Finding a life coaching institute or school is the easiest part of the job. The internet has abundant information where you can take your life coaching training.

Take your Life coaching session. The beauty of life coaching is you will experience it first. You have to remove all your baggage of troubles before you can help other people remove theirs.

Start your life coaching service. Once your sessions are over, you can start your practice while you continue your training for accreditation. The average time of continuous learning for a life coach is four years. But start your business and grow gradually.

Remember, being a coach is a lifelong career. You do not start a marathon race with a 100-meter stride; go it gently.
