How Expensive is Life Coaching?

Coaches try to price their services similarly to other coaches. In general, a month of life coaching will run between $60 and $120. However, there are many different levels of service and varying types of coach involvement for your money. You really must poke around on the web to find a coach that meets your needs.

Your money gives you power to hire and fire. You can't do that with your friends, you know. Frankly, money is substituted for emotional obligation.

Do you pay your plumber for his insight into your personal life? No, you pay him to fix your plumbing. If he doesn't fix your plumbing, you choose another plumber. The power of your money ensures that your plumber will do everything in his power to fix your dilemma.

It may sound crude, but the same principle applies to life coaching. You pay a coach to help you find ways to fix your dilemmas. If your coach fails, you take your money elsewhere. Period.

That's not to say that your coach is interested only in your money. If she were, there are much simpler ways to go about earning it. In addition, your coach's relationship with you is not based on your ability to pay.

If paying for coaching is a problem, tell your coach. Perhaps you can barter, work out a payment plan, or find some other creative solution to help you get the help you want.

Money is the equalizer in a coaching relationship - it ensures that you get what you need from your coach without having to worry about her personal needs or feelings in return.
