I would suggest you become accredited in Life Coaching. There are some good programs out there that would give you the credentials you need.

I suggest looking into what is required in your state to become a licenced Life Coach. Also, you may be able to find a course that is designed to help you understand what is required to become a Life Coach. I took one recently at a local College and found it to be very informative.

I would suggest you google "Life Coach franchise" and begin exploring what is being offered by Franchisors, including training and marketing assistance. And for what price. It may be not be reasonably priced or satisfactory but at least you'll see what they believe neccesary to succeed

Tina, thanks for the information. What type of course was it that you took? Was it like continuing education or a regular college course?
