Anyone here admit to using one? I just heard about this today. From someone I had (a small amount of) respect for. Guy is a respected CFP, only deals with clients in the Million + to invest crowd. Apparently relies on this guy to tell him how to wipe his ass. Guy advises him on every aspect of his personal life and business. Pays him big $$. “Coach” has never ran a successful business other than bilking idiots like this guy. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, someone decides to open up and unabashedly tell you some pathetic scheit like this.
I know plenty of big time executives that have an Executive Coach. But that’s different. Being the CEO of a massive enterprise can be pretty lonely sometimes so I kind of get it in that situation
But a life coach for a guy trying to manage money for anyone with $1m? No way

Kind of like the irony of Wall Street... the only place in the world where people who ride in limousines get financial advice from people who ride the subway.
I spent the better part of my career life coaching engineers, personally and professionally. I am thankful that they were sharp and more than willing to listen and learn.

Yep. I used to work on Wall Street and always found that odd

Not a personal mentor, actual paid position. Advises on good, except use, family obligation/parenting/spousal duties along with business advice. Pays the guy 20k a year.
I've seen life coaches several years back when I dated a woman who had one. I didn't know that she talked/ told her everything we did and when she finally told me after a bit I said goodbye. She was being told by her coach I was bad because I hunted, had firearms, did what I wanted when I wanted, was up front in my talking, took no bull crap and told her a life coach sounded like a Nigerian scam. This so called life coach and her other pal also a life coach was a joke, never had a real jobs, got their so called training from some church the were part of.

99% of the time, people who have coach or consultant after their name for their profession, are people who didn't "Make It" in that profession, and they find gullible people to pay them how to be successful in the profession the coach or consultant did not "Make It" in.
A lot of people do better in life with some form of oversight by a third party. If you hire a trainer or nutrition coach at a gym for example, what you are really paying for is the accountability. It keeps you on your toes and focused. And it helps control your negative impulses. Kinda hard to go to the Chinaman buffet if you know you are gonna be doing deadlifts the next morning with a bodybuilder.
I've never had a life coach but if I was wealthy enough to just piss money away hand over fist, i might hire one. Like most of us, I'm my own worst enemy.
Life coaches exist from the schools being overtaken by the communists, and teaching kids “It takes a village…”
They grew up “inside” on a computer, and never learned critical thinking from building crap while growing up as kids or tearing something apart and putting it back together.
Society is full of people now, even in the upper levels of corporate America, who have been raised to where they simply are incapable of making rational decisions.
One of my daughters in law is a life coach. She has a BS and MS in psychology and is in a PHD program. She has her own office and staff and sees patients/clients daily. Financially, she does very well. I never heard of a "life coach" until she told me she was becoming one.

I think you mis-spelled "couch" I have a life couch that soothes my troubles...
