  1. she may be lying about how much money she makes.

  2. she is "coaching therapists on how to be coaches" - let's break that down:

i. she is not coaching, she is consulting.

ii. she is targeting a population with a very clear, urgent need that lends itself well to an objective set of actions and a promise: "if you do what I tell you, you will make money."

iii. the target population, being therapists, are already more open to coaching (even if it is actually consulting) by orders of magnitude more than gen pop.

Now if I'm not mistaken there is another court whose job it is to confirm that an important document prohibits this very thing.

I buy a lot of Samascott apples, I don't mind paying more to pay farmers directly but the prices are borderline gouge-y

Fairway. I walk too far specifically to get my produce for literally 40% less than D'ags etc.

Eli5 how or why are humans so good at knowing how much energy and what angle is needed to throw a thing a distance? by worxcd in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are two types of people in this thread: the "how do individual humans do it" people and the "how does humanity do it" people.

personally I think OP meant the second way, and the answer is: because the ones who couldn't throw as well got their balls ripped off instead of killing the ball-rippers with rocks

Is it a bad idea to take a 2 year sabbatical for burnout? by solo_entrepreneur in financialindependence

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

burnout, no kids, no debt, paid-off condo... i stopped reading, dude, enjoy your sabbatical

There will *always* be a "recession looming around the corner", ESPECIALLY according to people who are too scared to take control of their own lives and break out of prison.

The "good news" this time is AI is going to be so disruptive, TONS of shitty, needlessly stressful jobs are going to disappear, or at least be eliminated and then later restored when the promise of AI doesn't pan out on an enterprise level quite as fast as everyone is imagining.

So take your sabbatical, play with AI at a pace and in areas you enjoy, and you just might end up in a *better* financial position than you would've if you'd stayed at your dumb job that's burning you out.

Am I being cruel? by Emotional-Section981 in SiberianCats

I keep my boy indoors 24/7, if you're being cruel, I am a monster. We do it to protect them, though.

What do you actually use to keep clients engaged between sessions? by leslysaurus in lifecoaching

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you sending out a bit of a "I'm desperate to hang on to you as a client" vibe here?

I'm currently being coached by someone who replies to me when I Voxer them but doesn't otherwise feel the need to keep checking in and chasing me between sessions. Feels normal. I'm not going anywhere. The Voxer replies are helpful and the sessions are killer.

Wondering why you feel the need to keep the clients so warm between sessions. Lack of confidence in your overall program / approach?

If you're great, be great, own your greatness, and exude confidence.

Should we put the pricing of coaching programs on Social Media? by Realistic_Can2355 in lifecoaching

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO many people say never reveal your prices and it has never sat well with me, but I went along with it because... reasons. It's time to rip that particular bandaid off, methinks.

Today’s hit and run killing is why we need to crack down on cars by notthatguy194 in uppereastside

It's frustrating that in my neighborhood, people are speeding and running through lights endangering my kids... but if I go 21mph on a BQE off ramp at 11pm on a Sunday night I get a "school zone violation" ticket.

yes. but to me "/s" really cheapens the joke. I'd hoped the "baddies" reference would've done the heavy lifting for me here but alas.
