Make a Living Encouraging Others

How to Become a Life Coach

Are you passionate about helping others reach their full potential and achieve their goals? Becoming a life coach might just be the perfect career path for you. In this blog post, we will explore the role of a life coach, the potential earnings in this occupation, the essential skills you need to succeed, and the steps you can take to start a rewarding life coach career. 

What Does a Life Coach Do? 

A life coach works closely with individuals to help them identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. Unlike therapy, which focuses on healing past traumas, life coaching primarily centers on the present and future, empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. 

Life coaches act as motivators, mentors, and guides. They provide support and accountability to their clients as they navigate through life’s challenges and opportunities. Whether it is improving self-confidence, enhancing relationships, or achieving career success, life coaches are there to inspire and facilitate personal growth. 

How Much Do Life Coaches Earn? 

The earning potential of a life coach can vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, location, and the number of clients they serve. According to Glassdoor, the average yearly salary of a life coach is $55,619. 

However, bear in mind that many life coaches work independently, and their salaries may vary depending on the demand for their services and the fees they charge. As their reputation and client base grow, so do their earnings, making life coaching a potentially lucrative career option. 

Skills You Need to Start a Life Coach Career 

Becoming a successful life coach requires a combination of innate qualities and learned skills. Here are some essential life coach skillsyou should cultivate to embark on a satisfying career: 

• Empathy and Active Listening: Understanding and empathizing with your clients’ struggles are critical in building a strong coaching relationship. Active listening allows you to grasp their concerns completely and respond thoughtfully. 
• Communication: Effective communication and asking powerful questions help clients gain insights into their own thought patterns and behaviors, leading to positive changes. 
• Goal Setting: As a life coach, you will assist clients in setting realistic and achievable goals and guide them in creating action plans to reach these objectives. 
• Positive Reinforcement: Encouragement and positive reinforcement play a vital role in motivating clients and nurturing a growth mindset. 
• Time Management and Organization: Managing your schedule and staying organized is essential, especially if you work with multiple clients. 
• Confidentiality: Maintaining professional boundaries and client confidentiality are critical aspects of the coaching relationship. 
• Continuous Learning: Stay updated with the latest coaching techniques and theories to improve your skills and provide the best service to your clients. 

Steps to Becoming a Life Coach

1. Self-Reflection and Personal Development 

Start by examining your own life experiences, strengths, and areas of growth. Engage in personal development activities, as a strong foundation is key to guiding others. 

2. Choose a Niche 

Determine the specific area or niche you want to specialize in as a life coach. It could be career coaching, relationship coaching, health and wellness coaching, or any other area where you feel your expertise lies. 

3. Get Proper Training and Certification

Seek certification from reputable coaching organizations to enhance your credibility and marketability,  recognized by the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC).

A Peaceful, Prosperous Life

What is your formula for a peaceful, prosperous life?   Living at peace does not mean you live without conflict.  Just as having a prosperous life, does not mean you have a lot of money.

We live at peace when we learn from our mistakes, stay humble and trust in God.  Living that way gives us prosperity in our hearts.

We all have conflict in our lives with people and with situations. Living at peace, to me, means having an inner calm even when things around you are out of control.  I must admit I am sometimes the one who stirs up strife. When I do I purpose to make things right again.  We learn a lot from our mistakes. Take the time to figure out what you can learn from each mistake.  Stay humble and be willing to learn.  Ask God for guidance all along the way. After all He has it all figured out already.

My favorite way of smoothing out the conflict is with humor. Laughing of course lightens the mood. Laughing burns calories. And laughing releases "feel good" endorphins into your system.  Children tend to laugh much more than adults. So if you need more laughter in your life hang out with more little ones.  Their laugh is contagious even when you have no idea what they are laughing about. I would like laugh more.

Find something you love to do, work at it hard,  do it a lot and you will be prosperous.

As a freight broker I have had to deal with conflict when a load gets lost or when a carrier hits bad weather but I have experienced peace when I helped all the parties involved find solutions.

At our school we teach our students how to be a successful freight broker.  But I find more joy in coaching them on how to have a successful life in other ways.  Join us for a week of training soon. I'd love to chat with you about peace and prosperity.

Moving forward,

Our basic freight broker training course is a one week course.  Many of our students continue on and take our advanced course the week after the first course.   We recently received this testimonial from a gentlemen who attended our week long Freight Broker Training Course:

I knew nothing about the transportation training/freight broker business.  After going through this course I feel great about starting out as a freight broker/agent.

Outstanding course with great instructors.  --  Chad Mingo

Well thanks Chad.  Our goal at Brooke Transportation Training is to teach a very thorough course.  We have had many similar testimonials from students over the years.  We pack the week with great information on freight brokering.  We engage our students into actual freight brokering calls.  Many actually make their first sale while in class.

Motivated Freight Brokers

We enjoyed another week of training some motivated freight brokers.  Thank you to our faithful instructor Vinny and my entire team.  I can tell you all day how good I think the class will be for you but my words are not nearly as powerful as those who have taken the course.  So take a few minutes to read what our most recent Dallas live course graduates say about their experience.  If you’d like to be challenged, develop confidence and be encouraged while learning a new skill give us a call. 214-206-1169.  

Here are our graduates testimonies:

Before starting the broker training, I didn’t know what to expect.  I wanted to learn the brokerage business and the ins and outs, and not know if this training would be enough to start my business and be successful.  After the first two days of the session I developed a lot more confidence in myself and ability to be successful in this profession.  In addition, the instructor was able to answer all of my questions pertaining to personal development and business success.

Knowing that my success is based on the work I put into it and knowledge gained through Brooke Training I am ready to start, or rather continue my journey.   --Sequoiah  Brown


I’ve learned a great business model to follow in my efforts to build my business.  Vinny’s personal development “focus” was a plus in this class.  I would recommend BTTS for anyone interested in the 3rd party logistics before making the career change.  Thanks for everything.

 I want to personally thank Jeff Roach for sharing his life experiences with our class.  --Marc Stephens

 
If one word could describe my time spent here with Brooke’s team it would be encourage!  Relationship building takes great encouragement; I found a new me and I have learned how to share this with the world.  I owe this to my great instructor Vinny.  I now can adjust and be more active in building relationships with value.

 I uncovered that being emotional with care, I am able to use logic to gain better results and productivity as a broker, business owner, and individual.  Thanks Vinny for the life teaching that will remain with me if I put the work in and build relationships with people of integrity, I will become a 24 hour champion! --Troy Dean Booth


 When I started this class I expected to learn the basics of truck brokerage.  I got so much more.  I had no idea what I was in for.  Vinny taught me so much about myself I had no idea I needed to know myself before learning the trucking industry.

The positive experience I got from the Brooke Team was honesty about what to expect in the business, learning about what to get from myself to achieve my goals in my life.  Knowing Vinny is a life changing experience.  I feel so fortunate to have been blessed by the teachings of Vinny and Brooke.  Well worth the money.  Thank you so much. --Laura Roland


I researched a few schools and the first time I called it was like I was being sold to a college.  They wanted my credit card number and told me my class would be on line.  When I called BTTS, I spoke with Jeff Roach.  When I told him who I was, and what I wanted, he said “read all about us, then if you like it, come to my live class.  I liked what I read about the training and I enjoyed our conversation. I came here to learn brokerage, but today I am leaving a better man, father, and customer service provider.  With the tools you learn from Vinny, I know I am prepared for a successful life and new career.  Thank you Vinny, Jeff, Jan, and the Guest.  --Sir Thomas Gaither

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach
