I always enjoy hearing what people do for a living, especially when it's off the beaten path. Here's a new CNN gallery of folks hustling for their money. There are a few entrepreneurs in the batch, making this gallery even more interesting (for me, anyway):

Hearing how these folks make their livings opens your mind to products and services you may have never considered. Worth a quick read.
 


Whenever I hear someone say they're a life coach I cringe. Might as well say "I'm a bullshit artist".
 
Now whoda thunk it that you could make money from shit. :) The other one that caught my eye was the woman that sold self-pub books offering wholesale fabric leads.

These folks know how to think outside the box !

What do the awesome ones teach you?

They don't teach you - in the same way sports coaches don't teach you sport.

If you're struggling to make a major change in your life, they coach you.

Typically by working with you to set goals properly, uncover ways that you're slowing yourself down, and keep you on track to reach those goals.

Pretty much the same way a tennis coach makes you a better tennis player.

The problem is it's been flooded with people harping on about the law of attraction and other such nonsense.

Ummm, that's the worst analogy in the world. Life coaches might compare to a sports psychologist, but not a coach. Have you played any sports?

I don't think he's comparing a life coach as if you have a life coach in your office, screaming at you "JUST 20 MORE LINES OF CODE, TYPE TYPE TYPE!!".

His analogy is more like, if you're a runner but your getting winded quickly, the coach will teach you the proper breathing techniques so your not running out of breath so fast.

A good life coach on the other hand, will notice where you start to procrastinate or slow down on a project, and help you figure out if and why you may be stopping yourself from completing the project. Depending on the reason, introduce techniques to help you push through and complete the project without slowing down.

A bad life coach will tell you to close your eyes, and envision yourself completing the project, as if you just won a freaking medal for doing your job (Not their exact words). Then tell you to chant "I can do this task, I can do this task" all while clicking your heels together. And somehow by doing that, the universe will allow you to complete your project effortlessly.
