Here's a debate in the coaching world: 

 

Does a coach have to have achieved something to be able to help a client achieve that same goal? 

 

For example, should a fitness coach be extremely healthy? 

 

Does a weight loss coach have to have lost a lot of weight in the past to help clients do the same? 

 

Should a relationship coach have a long track record in a successful relationship to be credible? 

 

Does a business coach have to have earned 6-figures to help a client do the same? What about 7-figures? 

 

Both sides of the debate make credible arguments. 

 

There are plenty of successful coaches (or speakers and authors) who prove that you can do well even if there's a disconnect with your past and what you're helping people with today. 

 

For example, Barbara De Angelis has been divorced a number of times (7 or 8 times, I believe) but she's still a big name in the relationship space and has done very well. 

 

But if I had to put my money on one coach or the other, I'd go with the one who has achieved what they're helping others with. 

 

I remember hearing Grant Cardone say that he doesn't say that he can help people become billionaires, because he's not a billionaire (yet). He's comfortable creating millionaires because he is one ... but not billionaires. 

 

Speaking of the green stuff ...

 

If you're focused on increasing the revenue for your online business and 7-figures is on your radar, Terri Levine has done that. 

 

Or if 6 figures is your goal, she's helped more than 55 clients pass that threshold in the last three years. 

 

She's currently running a training to share how she's done it, and you can check it out here:
