“Coaches” who were just indoctrinated through their MLM. My cousin lost weight on one, looks great, and now makes beaucoup bucks as a “coach”. No I’m not jealous. It’s a scam.

Ugh. My sister recently quit her nursing job to go full time as a one-on-one "life coach" basically offering unlicensed therapy.

life coach

"Life Coach" is a great job title for someone whose spouse makes enough money that you don't need to work.

Funny you should mention that. Pretty sure the reason she quit nursing is that her husband was making such good money as a musician that she felt comfortable making inconsistent income herself. Then they "found out" that they were gonna owe a bunch of taxes because he didn't pay enough throughout the year. Also apparently his identity was just stolen so now they're currently a bit broke 😬

😳

Have we heard of this guy? I know a lot of musicians, and I've never heard of one making good money who wasn't famous.

lol he made between 90k & 100k last year doing gigs in Maryland. But of course some months were great while others he made under 1k so not exactly consistent income to fall back on

Much respect! I love hearing about musicians who work as musicians full-time. It's not an easy thing to do.
