Health Coaching... getting your wellness coach certification... is one of the fastest growing income opportunities both online and offline today. And here's why:

When you look around, what do you see. The majority of us are addicted to fast foods. On a recent trip to my sisters place, a 7 hour journey, we counted 178 Fast Food outlets along the highway.

I heard a statistic recently that claimed that 3 out of 4 people in the USA are either pre-diabetic or close to it. Obesity is rampant. Even childhood obesity is rampant. Our food choices are often high fat and highly unhealthy. We are literally digging our graves with our teeth. Health care costs are skyrocketing. People NEED good information about their health, and with a certification in health coaching, you can provide that to them!

Look around at your own family, friends or people you work with. People in their 40's, 50's, and 60's are beginning to pay a serious price with illness and a compromised lifestyle. And these are people you know and care about. Have you ever thought that YOU can actually help these folks?

Well, by becoming a certified health coach... you can!

Health Coaching is one way we can reverse this trend. People helping people at the grass roots level, one bad habit, one step at a time. People can be empowered to make better choices and have better health without having to get sick first. That is exactly what health coach training enables people to do for others.

Health Coach Training--The Difference Maker

Here are 5 key reasons why people choose health coaching as an income generator for themselves.

  1. Health Coaching makes a difference in peoples lives.

Can you imagine what it would feel like to help someone you know or cared about, make a significant permanent change in their life. How gratifying would that be. You now have a job that changes people's lives and you get to do that on a day to day basis.

2.Health Coaching -- Change Your Financial Picture

People choose health coaching as a way to significantly improve upon their financial situation. The average rate for a session ranges from $120/hr to $190/hr. A 10 hr week would generate an extra 5 to $6,000 a month income, an amount that would make a huge difference in most people's lives. You can see how you could easily build this into a six figure income for yourself.

3.Health Coaching -- A Transitional Career Choice

Many people will fit those 10 hours into their existing careers or jobs. People already in the health profession often see health coaching as an easy fit with their current training and job. They can offer it as additional service to their existing clientele or build a part time caseload and earn extra income. Some use it as a transition from what they are doing now to a full time career that is more lucrative and rewarding. Many health care jobs are high stress, routine with mediocre pay and no job security.

  1. Health Coaching-- The Road to Security and Freedom

Perhaps just as exciting for people than the potential six figure income is to be able to have control over their own lives. One of the things that causes people great stress and unhappiness is having to go to work even if you or your children are not well to a job that brings you very little self satisfaction and a pay level which dictates their lifestyle, week after week, month after month, year after year. Health coaching can change that for you. You get to choose. You can have control over how many hours you work, who you work with, when you go on vacation, for how long. You can schedule your appointments around important family events. You can put your health and the health of your family first. You get your life back.

  1. Get Started and Get Going - Get Your Wellness Coach Certification

A major reason people choose health coaching is that it is easy to learn to do. Attend classes online, on your computer and every facet of starting a business will be taught to you. This is something most people can do if they have the interest and are motivated to take control of their own lives. If you enjoy working with people and have at least average communication skills, the rest you will learn over the course of several months. And you can earn as you learn. You will be supervised every step of the way as you begin your health coaching business.

So check this out for yourself. It could be exactly what you've been looking for.
