#92 Do I need to spend money to have a successful career?

We have all knowledge available for free nowadays. You just need to pull your smartphone out of the pocket and use Google or ChatGPT to find information. And in plus of that we have access to free education from schools and universities.So why should you pay a coach? What additional knowledge should a coach provide you that you don’t have available already and why should you spend money on this?This might shock you now, but until during the last 5 years I have spend over 20’000 EUR for coaching services and private educations, like seminars, online academies and my certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).The knowledge I have gotten there I could have found maybe also online in a very scattered way. But coaching is not about the knowledge alone.It is about enabling you to incorporate this specific knowledge that you need in the best way it works for you. Because time is money. It is not about the WHAT. The WHAT (the information) is always shared for free online. It’s about the HOW. How YOU can make it happen. And a coach is a catalyst for your fast transformation. You might of course be also able to make it happen without the help of a coach. It will just take you much longer to find the right knowledge and incorporate that into your every-day life with a lot of frustration and trial-and-error.If you are looking for a job in the Corporate world or want to take the next step in your career, I would be happy to support you in your skilful self-presentation and showing your true, authentic self to a company!
