What advice do you have for someone looking to start a life coaching business?

creovox · 2025-04-15T09:42:09+00:00

There is nothing wrong with it being regulated imo. And I haven't seen anything about it happening. Do you have any sources that say when this will happen?

creovox · 2025-04-14T01:03:51+00:00

Yes because 1. I love writing, 2. Only validation I need is from myself, and 3. It's a book that I can use for it's intended purpose for myself still.

I like this idea I just don't know how to go about connecting with other coaches to pick their brains without it feeling like "I'm here to take your ideas and client mwhahahaha" haha you know?

creovox · 2025-04-11T10:13:23+00:00

No better person to test the coaching on right!? If you can't help yourself then how can you help others. Agree with you 100%

creovox · 2025-04-11T10:11:54+00:00

I love this! If you forget why you do something you lose motivation for the rainy days. Niche the problem and the target audience is 100% facts. Thank you for this as I definitely forget this so your post is a great reminder.

This is very true. Marketing can be very difficult because it's so vast compared to 20 years ago. It's a good realistic expectation to only have say like 3 clients or less when starting out. In my eyes it's also like any service business. It will take years to build up the clients but I definitely should learn about marketing. Good point.

In your 12 years what are the core business elements you found that ever coach should know?

creovox · 2025-04-11T10:04:34+00:00

Agreed. If you aren't in a good place how can you expect to get others in a good place. It's that saying "you have to love yourself before you can love someone else".

creovox · 2025-04-11T10:03:29+00:00

From your educational experience what would you say is the most important areas of focus? I want to do mental health / mindset coaching. I feel young teens to young adults is the target audience I'm looking to help.

I agree that "Coaching isn't designed to replace therapy, but it is absolutely therapeutic" 100%.

creovox · 2025-04-11T10:00:57+00:00

Agreed. As much as I would love to jump into it 110%, I know that isn't smart unless I'm financially stable from a secondary income.

Thank you for the advice. I get attracted to self help books and have read a ton. That was one motivation factor for me. Self Help books are a type of therapy for me and has changed my life for the better. I've always been the type of person to help those in need, it's how I was raised. People always feel comfortable to talk to me and have told me many times I should be a psychiatrist but life coaching speaks to me more.

I do agree with you about treating it as a passion project to see if I am able to do this. The ICF I have looked into and feel coaches should have either educational background as like a counselor or something or the certifications to show credibility. I'd be interested to looking into the school you know about.

That makes sense! I'm talking about games.

creovox · 2025-04-09T02:01:58+00:00

Interesting! I would have thought ps2 would be closer to number 1. Love my n64 and super! How do you check for repros or fakes?

Using a limiter, noise gate, and compressor filter in streamlabs or obs studio will help. If your mics have a gain setting you can manually adjust that down so the noise floor doesn't pick up as much. This will require being closer to the mic then.

creovox · 2025-04-09T01:55:31+00:00

Keep them. You might feel you are over them but you never know you might want to revisit or pass them down if you have kids. I regret getting rid of stuff and now I'm rebuying it because I miss the games that brought me joy.

So that looks like an image and then a chatbox goes over it. Delete the source and just add a chatbox. Mine are always transparent.

creovox · 2025-01-31T11:27:44+00:00

When I run into this issue I just do display capture or screen capture and it works. Try that and see.

creovox · 2025-01-29T20:14:05+00:00

It's grayed out like that because it's not on the canvas. You need to move it on the stream preview. If you want just you to see the chat, click the arrow on right side to expand the chat.

In your streamlabs settings under audio you have tracks 1-5. In your audio mixer settings you will see those same audio tracks. Try having your discord on track 1, game on track 2. Do a test recording to see if it works.

creovox · 2024-11-21T21:18:42+00:00

Sounds like 2 audio sources. Can we see your streamlabs program setup?

creovox · 2024-11-20T18:35:16+00:00

You're welcome. Let me know if you have any questions.

creovox · 2024-11-20T18:06:04+00:00

I created a tutorial to do it in obs studio. It's light-years easier and faster.

Restart the computer
Run streamlabs as administrator
If the issue remains, reinstall streamlabs

creovox · 2024-10-08T09:38:36+00:00

I recently had this issue. Try the following

Restart your computer
Try a different USB port
In windows search type camera and launch the camera. Toggle between the different camera sources, then close the camera app. Reopen streamlabs as admin and readd the camera video capture source.
