If you're not feeling good about your life, wake up now.You can change the course of your life by becoming your own life coach.
Life coaching is a profession in some Western countries.It helps people identify and achieve personal goals in life, work and relationships.Clients hire a life coach and speak to them each week.The coach usually examines what is going on in the person's life to find out what the obstacles or challenges might be.The coach helps them choose a course of action to make their life what they want it to be.
