alternatively, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/running-a-coaching-business-from-a-home-office\/\" target=\"_blank\">working independently<\/a> is more than learning to coach.\u00a0 When you move into the coaching profession, do so with an awareness of which opportunities interest you and your own willingness to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a job coaching, then you will prepare by building your qualifications with coach training, creating a great resume or CV, applying, networking, and interviewing.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to work independently, in addition to coaching certification investigate what it means to be an entrepreneur and business owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a business, whether part or full time, is a process.\u00a0 It takes work and a willingness to put yourself out there.\u00a0 There are many &hellip;
