Can you really make a living out of being a coach?

I'm not talking online here, guys. I'm talking generally, I'm talking about making a career out of being a coach. Being a professional coach and actually making this your job. 

We might think that there are only online coaches and I'm very aware that we see this model a lot. It isn't always coaching where we see coaches, coaching coaches who coach coaches. And it's not surprising that people can be wary and think, it looks like some glorified pyramid scheme! 

I am here to say unequivocally yes. Of course, you can make a career from being a coach. I'm going to talk a little bit today about how you can not only have a career but how you can have a thriving career and how you can do that without even having a Facebook profile.
