Choosing a career as a coach can be incredibly rewarding. You'll have the freedom to set your own schedule, select clients that resonate with you, and earn an income based on how hard you're willing to work.

Many coaches begin by charging hourly rates before progressing to high-ticket coaching programs.

It's not uncommon for new coaches to start at $40 or $50 per hour and eventually offer exclusive mastermind programs priced up to $100,000.

However, reaching these heights takes time – often years or even decades of dedication.

The majority of coaches who don't succeed fail not because they lack coaching skills but because they struggle with building a business around their expertise.

Transitioning from a traditional 9-5 job into entrepreneurship as a coach isn't easy; simply having a coaching degree won't guarantee clients will come knocking.

To truly thrive in this field, it's vital that you find your niche and become well-versed in marketing strategies such as advertising and content marketing.

Understanding these aspects will help ensure your success as both an exceptional coach and savvy entrepreneur.

Join The 7-Figure Brotherhood 💯

If you can’t land the next job or promotion you want and you aren’t getting the appreciation you want, the missing piece is access.

Most brothers spend their entire careers with far less income and impact than they are capable of. Maybe it’s because they are already the most successful person in their family and think that’s enough. Maybe they have underlying confidence issues that hold them back. Maybe they have the motivation but just don’t know how yet.

However, if you’re in that last group of motivated brothers and have access to the best roles in your industry, my guess is you’d go for it. But what if going for your next job was just a step onto a path of earning 7-figures annually? Would that excite you?

Now you might be saying, “That can’t be possible.” “Only ballers, drug dealers, rappers, and actors make that kind of money.” Well, that’s what I thought as a kid from humble beginnings.

However, my mind has changed dramatically. Today I speak with 7-figure-earning Black men on a weekly basis from the business world who love what they do professionally, positively impact the community, and are committed family men, all while tending to their health and hobbies. These men are absolutely incredible, playing full-out and living their best lives now.

After providing psychotherapy and executive coaching to these brothers for the past 8 years, I’ve figured out what they do to reach the top and now offer a coaching program to help 6-figure-earning brothers do the same, called the 7-Figure Brotherhood.

As a 6-figure earner, you’re already in the top 10% of Black men. That’s a huge accomplishment. Congratulations on your achievement. In terms of training, undergrad and grad school are enough to get you there.

However, if you want to earn 7-figures and move into the 1% of Black male earners on earth, you need post-collegiate career training, an airtight plan, and a powerhouse network to get there. I promise you, it will not happen by accident, nor will it happen if you simply put your head down and focus on your job.

You don’t get into the NBA by accident, the NFL by accident, write a New York Times best-selling novel or make a Hollywood blockbuster movie by accident. These are elite achievements reserved for the most motivated people who execute daily on their long-term plans.

You’ve already worked for companies to help them become the best in the world at what they do. But this is about you and locking in your own CEO mindset, no matter what your current seniority is. So ask yourself: Are you ready to become the best in the world at what you do so you can set your own price in the market?

If so, you may be a good candidate to join the 7-Figure Brotherhood. 7FB is an elite program for Black men who are committed to taking the steps to unlocking their value in the marketplace. It’s for men who are tired of waiting for the world to acknowledge their worth and are now ready to unlock the juggernaut career that is waiting inside of them.

If you’re ready to unlock your full professional potential, have a master’s degree, and are ready to make a huge impact on the world, then you may be ready to join the 7-Figure Brotherhood.

The 7FB program includes group coaching sessions, 1:1 coaching sessions, extensive networking, and on-demand learning to launch your 7-figure career, 7-figure network, and 7-figure impact.

7FB is not a program for early-career professionals, brothers without completed masters degrees, or those earning under $150,000 in total compensation.

LinkedIn Profile Workshop: March 6th 💸

Join the upcoming workshop where I will show you what the most successful black men do to optimize their LinkedIn profiles to elevate their careers.

This will be a 3-hour workshop that includes education, live tutorials, on-the-spot coaching, real-time networking with other amazing Black men, and more.

EP 36: Reaching The C-Suite with Derrick Pledger🔥

In this episode, Jewel interviews the CIO of Leidos, military vet, and author, Derrick Pledger. Derrick shares how he reached the top, what he does with his 7-figure income, and how he hopes to impact the world with his new book: Your Brain Weighs 500 Pounds. This is the best Black Executive Men episode to date and is a masterclass on corporate success.

Born Driven: The Executive Blueprint For Black Men In Corporate America 🔥

The book is finished and has been sent to my publisher for review. I’m excited to be working with a team of Black men who run their own book publishing company.

I celebrated finishing my book by going out to eat and talking about many of the different chapters. In addition, those with whom I’ve shared that I’m finished writing my book and manuscript have at least been impressed. They say it’s a big deal and wish they had written a book.

The prestige that comes with being an author has never really impressed me. Basketball player, sure, but never an author. Now that I’m moving down that path myself, I can tell you that there is prestige in being an author. It’s not like telling people you’re a doctor and watching them look up to you as the authority figure in the room, but they do light up a bit.

They often want to know instantly what your book is about and where they can get it. I’ve been talking about my book and even had people at nearby tables walk over to ask more about it.

Make no mistake about it; writing a book and getting it published will open doors for your career, social status, and recognition if you set it up right. If you have a book in you, you must write it.

As an update from one of my chapters, Mike and Phil, two friends who went to Morehouse and Harvard Business School together are catching up twenty years later in an airport lounger, over whiskeys. Mike’s now a 7-figure COO, while Phil’s career topped out as a lower 6-figure mid-level manager.

Mike begins telling Phil about his own journey with mental health, while Phil listens on. Phil’s never been to therapy before but believes he has some confidence issues that stem from the past. By the end of the chapter, Mike has guided Phil on how to find a Black male therapist in his own city. Phil is on his way.

This book is going to be a hit. I can feel it. It’s got a great name, a great cover, a great story, great lessons, and a great audience of readers. It will need to be read far and wide.

In terms of sales, I’d love to sell the book by the 100s and 1000s to corporations and universities that want to advance Black men’s and other employee’s career success. If you have those connections, please let me know.
