Well you don't seem to get my point...
"I'm a 22 year old who's goal right now is to freelance as a high paid consultant"
Thats exactly the problem. You don't have any credibility, like some of the more experienced/successful members already pointed out.
You have nothing to offer to somebody with that kind of exposable income (likely somebody in his 40s/50s who either owns a business himself or has a rather high paying job). At least judging from your posts, of course its entirely possible that you have some skills you didnt tell us about.
If you would use your energy to build a successful business (not coaching as a business... I'm talking about a real business) at this age you would then have the credibility to do "lifestyle coaching", which seems to be your passion, at a later point.
And I'm not here to shoot down your idea or rain some negativity over you. Just giving you my honest opinion. Like I said, if you choose to stick with this idea I will be more than happy to hear about your success in 1-2 years or whatever. I just think there are better options for a driven person like you than coaching at this point of your life/career.
No, I like the "shooting down my idea's"... I didn't get good at this by everyone being nice to me... the times I'm most proud of were situations where people were literally walking away & I turned them around through persistence and conviction... This feels like a scaled up version of the same thing... I see your point but the thing's your mentioning don't feel like roadblocks, but more like a road map for how to do it right... your pretty much telling me what people are gonna say before they even say it and all I have to do is get a little creative in my execution.
The skepticism is just a temporary emotion that has no effect on the big picture, you can change peoples moods rather easily, which is what I love doing & that's why I was good at what I did.. honestly I miss it, this has me feeling nostalgic lol
