What would you recommend as starting points for creating a business plan or financial plan for folks just getting started? When you say coaching, I think you could just as easily substitute the word entrepreneur and have the advice apply. Great post, as always.

Wow! You've got it - the balance. Why else would we coach? I'm glad you stuck with coaching despite encountering a coach frustrated with her earnings. Sounds like she would benefit from Jeannette's class. Thanks for bringing your experience and encouragement to me; my consulting side is having fun with this one. We are going to have a good time in Jeannette's class. She has the money vibe down, and I'm bringing my "other life", exploration and film-making to give a different spin to money. Looking forward to seeing you there. With love, Melissa Hi Jenny,

I'm currently a coach-in-training and I have heard other coaches tell us to get all excited about what we want to achieve as coaches, including how much money we want to make. They tell those of us in training to dream big. I had a conversation with a coach when I was trying to decide if coaching was the right path for me to take, and she almost tried to tell me that it wasn't possible to be financially successful as a coach--that she'd been at it for a few years and wasn't making enough to cover her bills. (I didn't sign up to be coached by her!) I look forward to what you provide us. I figure there has to be a balance of supporting ourselves and our families financially as coaches, and also being realistic (for the short term). I know there are some wildly financially-successful coaches out there, so it's okay to dream a bit big. And I think I will just sign up for Jeannette's class. I've been looking it over and hadn't made up my mind yet. Thanks for the encouragement! Jenny Melissa,
