There is a business coach that has a guarantee that I will make what I make now as an employee as a freelance consultant within 6 months and if not that she’d continue working with me for free. The cost is $2,500. She doesn’t have a website and Instagram is her main site. I thought that sounded promising UNTIL she asked me to pay on the discovery call to secure my spot. I asked if she at least had a LinkedIn page and she didn’t offer it to me. Is this normal? I was admittedly pulled in by the guarantee.
This relates to small business because I want to start a small consulting business
Ok the more I talk out loud (or write out loud) about this the more silly I feel. She doesn’t even have a podcast and has zero internet presence… I even tried to reverse Google image her face and did not find anything. Yikes. I think I almost fell for it because I’ve been feeling very stressed lately trying to land a freelance gig in my field and I wanted guidance because I don’t know anyone that’s made the switch. I’m so glad I backed out.
