\"The<\/p>\n

To Resign or Not to Resign<\/h3>\n

Several life coaches remain employed full-time while starting out in their coaching careers. Unless you have savings equivalent to three or four months\u2019 paychecks, the logical thing to do is to hold on to your full-time job until you get your coaching career up to a certain level where you are comfortable to resign from your current employment.<\/p>\n

Now, if you have no intention of resigning from your full-time job because you enjoy what you do but instead are looking to supplement your income with a part-time life coaching career, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It all depends on you and how committed you are.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to juggle life coaching, a full-time job, family obligations, etc. together and still make time for yourself? Yes, it is. But the choice has to be yours. You have to get to a point where you feel confident and ready to take that leap.<\/p>\n

The Best Way to Become a Life Coach While Employed Full-time<\/h3>\n

When I first started as a life coach, I had no intention of doing it full-time. I was going to work my permanent job at the hospital while supplementing my income with coaching. But after a few months, I realized that with my family obligations and my passion for helping people live fulfilling lives, I had to make a choice. I resigned from my 9-5 in pursuit of what I determined to be my calling. It wasn\u2019t easy at first making that transition, going from certainty to uncertainty. However, with the support of my husband, my trust in God (Christian faith), my experiences and skills, I was able to launch out without looking back. Today, I have a thriving business, and I am doing what I love without restrictions.<\/p>\n

Few Questions to Ask Yourself<\/h3>\n

2. Can I generate enough money as a life coach that will take care of all my expenses? (This is for those of you who are considering leaving your current job at some point.).<\/p>\n

3. Can I juggle my current job, life coaching, and other obligations at the same?<\/p>\n

4. When and where will you be meeting with clients? (Weekends, evenings, holidays.)<\/p>\n

7. Do I need to go for specific training for coaches, or is my degree enough?<\/p>\n

8. Where am I going to get clients from?<\/p>\n
