I am at 16:00 and I relate so much to what you are saying. I stepped out of coaching and now the whole industry gives me the ick because of what you said. It sucks because I have heard so many horror stories from people who have joined coaching programs from well-known coaches in the online space and it is DEVASTATING!!
You're so right... it's sad and unfortunate because there are good coaches out there but it's hard to compete against all the fake marketing and bloated income claims from the crappy ones.
I met up with one "coach" for lunch. She said her services are 25K to talk to her once a month for 45 minutes for 9 months. $2,777 per 45 min session. I told her it was out of my price range and she immediately asked me how much I could pay. I told her I would never ask for a "discount" and she deserves to get 25K. I had to block her 2 days later as she was blowing off my phone non-stop trying to desperately offer me her services for whatever I can pay because she "believed in me". I never wanted to work with a coach after that.
Spend $2500 as a young single mom ,just to get the most generic word salad and 7 minutes meditations. My coach was teaching me how to be a coach and coach other people but thats not what i was looking for ,i was looking for someone to mentor me through starting an online product based business, It was a tragic decision.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I will say there are some good coaches out there who actually teach you what you need to know to build an online business (I was one of them) but unfortunately all those scammy coaches ruin it for the rest of us. And hence the reason why I'm no longer in coaching. I hope you find what you need for your business!
