I am a counselor, And I specialized all of my graduate work in career counseling because I loved it so much. But I have also been frustrated by the exorbitant cost of coaches. I do not mean to say that they are not valuable to some, but I…"

Alex Barker replied to Matt Jones's discussion Quickest ways to self-employment?"Hi Matt,
Carpet cleaning is a great way to make an extra buck. I have a friend who does this as a business and he makes around $50-$150 per cleaning (depending on the size). If you'd like, I can get you in touch with him to learn the tricks of…"
Mike Hirst replied to Matt Jones's discussion Quickest ways to self-employment?"Hey Matt, glad to hear from you! I would just suggest taking something you already know how to do well (or that you can learn quickly and do excellently) and just get out there and find the people who need that service.

I agree with Jason & Bobbi. As far as the job goes when you first get back, if that is your decision, find anything that will sustain you financially and where you can have direct contact with people. I have a degree in psychology,…"
Bobbi Gregory replied to Matt Jones's discussion Put an end to a bad situation?"Hi Matt,
It seems fairly clear that you know what you want (to move home to Nashville, to start a new career doing something you love, to be around others who inspire you and are a positive influence). I would suggest that the next step would be to…"

Okay, so I need as much advice as I can get! I am trying really hard to figure out what to do. At this very moment I am getting ready to start online classes in psychology-life coaching, and eventually would like to go to a brick and mortar school so that I can have more "hands-on" interaction and networking opportunities. I am also wanting to do a complete change of careers, and eventually make the transition into "entrepreneur". For that I am getting ready to start a blog/website to start…See More
Elmer Querubin replied to Matt Jones's discussion Inexpensive Coaching?"Matt,
I'm glad you see the benefits of coaching, but I would advise to not looking at it as your only solution to your problem. Here are other alternative/cheaper solutions to your problem:

Thanks for all of your feedback! I am by no means trying to be "pessimistic" about the coaching process. I certainly understand your example of bankruptcy. But lets say that you are living paycheck to paycheck, you are…"

Hey Matt,
I appreciated your forum post the other day about the challenge of finding inexpensive coaching. I know finances can be a challenge at times.
Something I think could add value for you in an inexpensive way is the new group I've created. I'd like to invite you to my brand new group Unlock Your Passion. Right now I'm giving away over $90 worth of 48 Days products to 3 lucky winners from the first 48 members who join.
There's a discussion we have going on right now you might find interesting.
It's an exercise I like to have people do where they name their top 3 favorite movies to see how they might be connected to your passions - we'd love to hear yours.
I wish you much success in your pursuit to live and work in your passions.
All My Best,
Adam Rico

Monty Powers said… Matt, aviation has always been a subject of interest and was the original reason I wanted to join the military. Corrective lenses took care of that so a career as a ground bound officer took the place of it. We should definitely talk sometime.
