   Is life coaching a scam?

   • I agree with you OP. Most of the life coaching is a huge scam, not much different than an MLM. Selling coaching services is not a scam. Overcharging credit cards on purpose would be the only part that could be considered a scam. Should be a scam based on the majority of the "coaches" that are out there.

   Are there any MLMs that teach people to become life coaches?

   • Just so you know, there are also MLMs that "teach" people how to become "life coaches". The MLM sells them self-help materials and puts them on a team that will show them how to make their own "life coach" materials to sell to people. It's like an MLM to teach people how to start their own MLM. Its crazy. Oh gosh I didn’t know that existed.

   If all else fails, search for reviews online using the program’s, institution’s or coach’s name and the words “review,” “scam” or “fraud” as keywords. If you've confirmed a coach received certification through a legitimate program, also confirm the credentials haven’t expired.
