Default Thinking about going into life coaching here

My common sense know it all approach seems to be very appealing to a lot of people and some of them just cant get enough of it.. Apparently i'm the voice of reason to many, and I think some of them are actually willing to pay for it.

Not bad work if you can get it..

No fancy degrees here, just a Masters Degree from the school of hard knocks and a wealth of life experience. I've been everywhere and done everything and the things I know..... they don't teach at university.

I just don't know what the going rate for such a thing is. Anybody here have one?

welcome to BE, I hope you haven't joined just to promote yourself though? we are more than that, we are a small community of expats who help each other out and give advice to new people in the area, join in and become part of our community.

As for life coaching, I am not a great believer

Precisely, what is 'Life Coaching?' - Is it a real job? Do you make anything? - Apart from money?

You might be a really nice person and very good at it but this instantly makes me shudder.

I have one, he charges 250 dollars per hour. But I would pay twice that for the invaluable help he gives me to just do it, and motivation to be all that I can be.
You are that yank troll again right?

So do we have 'Life Coaches' prostituting themselves here, as well as Financial Pimps?

It's easy to get lost and lose your bearings in Dubai. I think I can really help people that need to get their shit together. A friend of mine got fired in August and wouldn't come out of his villa. He drew the shades and wouldnt answer his phone or the door. I eventually got in and coached him back to life, and now he's working again. I can also help normal functioning people with self esteem issues, alcohol addiction, marriage problems, sex addictions and a myriad of other social disorders.

I just want to help people

Show me the money, when you work in the big leagues and sit at the high stakes table of life getting hand relieved at the end of a Thai massage just doesn't cut the mustard. I need my life coach to guide me through these shark infested waters, he is the yin to my yang, and he helps me when I fail to plan so I don't plan to fail.

So a 'Life Coach' is the easy route to a 'Hand Shandy?'
