think you're too old to be a coach.

Actually.

Becoming a coach over 50 means
that you are more credible, you

have more experience and wisdom,
and you have that life experience.

That means that you can.

Sit back and just allow somebody
the space to think to talk.

And because you are over 50, many
people when they get to 50 something

are going through a life shift and
they're wanting someone to support them.

They're wanting help and they have
the financial resources to pay you.

Whereas people who are maybe younger
don't necessarily have the same

financial resources because they're
trying to get on the housing ladder.

They are juggling kids and life,
and you have the space and time.

Maybe you are an, an empty nester
with a little more income to be

able to do something different.

So this video is for you if you are
ready to find out more about coaching.

And the good news is that you don't
need to be all over Instagram and,

and sharing Instagramable quotes.

You can do it in a way that works for you.

The coaching industry is one of the
fastest growing industries worldwide,

and you are able to harness.

Because you have that life wisdom
and that potential to help others.

And your wisdom can be shared in a
multitude of ways, whether it's through

health coaching or coaching people through
a particular skill set or retraining

or thinking about life differently.

You have wisdom and experience that
you can bring to your coaching skills

and it can help set you apart, whether
it's financial coaching or whether

it's, um, you know, whatever you.

Choose whatever niche you go
into, you can offer your skills

and your life experience.

Your 20, 30 years of being in a career,
perhaps through parenting or whatever

it may be, that is your thing that
you are going to help people with.

Because demand is rising for whether
it's business coaching or life coaching

or health coaching or fitness coaching,
and you can help people, your shared

experience and wisdom is a benefit and
see it as a benefit rather than seeing

it as something that is something
to be hidden and embarrassed about.

It is something that is your
greatest asset and skill.

Because people like someone who
has that experience, that lived

experience, and perhaps being
slightly older, we have more wisdom.

We have, we've lived through those
experiences and so we have, you

know, we've, in having that lived
experience, we have maybe been

there, we've done that, whether it's
raising children or struggling with

finances or setting up a business.

And we've seen it mult
a multitude of ways.

And so we can help people through
different experiences, and that's

the wisdom that you can bring.

That's somebody who's maybe
of a different generation.

Can't necessarily bring in the same way.

So see your coaching as ways that you can,
you've got that lived, lived experience.

You've got that patience.

You've got, um, the way of working
and your perception is different

because you have a bigger view.

You can see the longer, the longer
game because you've been around

more, to see more experiences
and think in different ways.

So some ways that you can think of for
helping people through your coaching.

It might be health coaching where
you are helping them to get fitter,

leaner, stronger , or work through a
particular diet, whether it's like.

Diabetes or any health condition that you
may have that you can help others with.

Perhaps it is through your fitness,
um, it's, it's weights and workout

for, for women over 50 or some kind of
coaching that is going to help people

of your same generation, and it's that
mirror image where you can help them.

Maybe it's in business coaching or
consulting where you are helping

people set up new businesses or pivot
what they do, or have that consulting

eye on the business so that they
can think through differently and

see how to work more effectively.

Perhaps it's financial coaching where
you are working with people, helping

them to understand their finances
better and get more in control of

their money and the way that they
are going to invest in their future.

And then the final one is those
specialist skills that you may have.

So whether you have an expertise,
specialist, knowledge that you can help

others so that you are really giving
them, um, those drilling down on those

particular skills and people are paying
you because they want to learn those

skills and get coaching along the way.

you don't need perfection,
you don't need all the tools.

You can start with Zoom.

You can start with coaching calls on
Zoom, doing one-to-one coaching calls.

They can be a live call and then
maybe it moves to a group call, but

in the beginning it can literally
just be a coaching call on Zoom.

And you know, PayPal is super easy
to set up and you can start with

just, charging people through PayPal.

You don't need to have.

All the bells and whistles,
but what you do want to do

is get going and get started.

Because remember that your wisdom,
your expertise is what people are

willing to pay for, and it just is
about getting started in the process.

Being 50 something is your superpower,
coaching industry is exploding.

This is your opportunity to create
something different, work in a different

way, have more location independence,
and build a life that you love.
