Yes, people hire coaches, teachers, and mentors—just like they hire freelancers. The difference is why they hire them.
How People Hire:
✅ Freelancers → "I need someone to do the work for me."
✅ Coaches & Mentors → "I need someone to guide me to do it myself."
✅ Teachers → "I need structured learning to develop my skills."
✅ Consultants → "I need expert advice to make the right decision."
✅ Counselors → "I need help with my thoughts, emotions, or direction in life."
Hiring Intent Difference:
-
Freelancer = Outcome-based hiring (Get the work done).
-
Coach/Mentor = Growth-based hiring (Help me become better).
Do People Pay for Coaching & Teaching?
Yes, and often more than freelancing!
-
Businesses pay coaches to improve leadership, productivity, and performance.
-
Entrepreneurs hire mentors to grow faster.
-
Professionals invest in skill-based coaching (e.g., sales, marketing, speaking).
-
People pay for personal growth coaching (e.g., confidence, mindset, relationships).
Mindset Shift:
❌ "Only freelancers get hired."
✅ "People hire both—some need work done, others need guidance to grow."
Would you rather do the work for them or teach them to do it themselves (or balance both)?
